Chapter 2245: Taking Office
"Don't dare to be, dare not be! Ban Lao, why bother!" Shen Long avoided Xu Dingchao's courtesy. In terms of age, Shen Long is only in his early twenties, and Xu Dingchao is already in his fifties. Regardless of his starting point, Shen Long cannot accept his gift.
Xu Dingchao didn't care too much, "Mr. Qianzhai can give a big gift to invite Zhifu to come out of the mountain, and I can't let Mr. Qianzhai be more beautiful than before! Please promise me Jing Qi!"
"Although I'm young and poor in academics, but Ban Lao, you are so respectful and virtuous as a corporal, so what can I do if I become a horse bone?" Shen Long responded modestly, "As long as the elders in my family do not object, I will definitely be willing to go to the capital. University hall." Oh, in fact, we have also taught the students of Peking University, this is not the first time.
"Okay, okay, since Jing Qi is willing, that's fine. If the elders don't agree, I will kowtow to them!" Xu Dingchao was overjoyed, and quickly took Shen Long's hand and said, "Jing Qi can come, but it has helped me a lot. ! We finally have a pillar in the Medical Practice Hall of the Peking University Hall!"
Shen Long was humble again, while Xu Dingchao took his hand and sat down, and began to tell him about the structure and subject arrangement of the medical practice hall, "The medical practice hall is now located on Taiping Street behind the inner gate. The place is a bit small, but the new The school building is already under construction, and when it is completed, it will be moved to the Octagonal Glass Well outside the front gate!"
The Jingshi University Hall is in Jingshan Mashen Temple, and the medical practice hall is a newly-built institution. There is no room there, so we can only find another place to settle it. How strange, in the future, this school will be renamed as the Medical Museum, which will be allocated to the National Capital Medical College after the 1911 Revolution, and will be renamed Peking University School of Medicine, Peking University School of Medicine, and Beijing Medical University in succession, until 2000. Peking University Health Science Center.
"The courses taught in the school are divided into two parts: traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine mainly focuses on classic monographs, including "Neijing", "Nanjing", "Materia Medica", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Golden Chamber", etc., while western medicine focuses on physiology. , pathology, pharmacy, internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and pediatrics are the learning content, and English is also required.”
"The existing teachers in the school either don't understand foreign language or Western medicine, but there are a few foreigners who teach, but they can't speak Chinese, and the translators they invite can't understand their medical terminology. Headache, I am also in a dilemma, these people we have taught will practice medicine in the future, even if the teaching is wrong, this is human life!" Xu Dingchao said with emotion, now people who are familiar with Western medicine are simply too little.
"Speaking of medical terminology, I did some translations in private." For Shen Long, this was a trivial matter, and he could just find the "Dictionary of Medical English" from Bai Ze's database. He returned The study took a few pages of drafts written in advance to Xu Dingchao's eyes.
Xu Dingchao was full of praise when he saw it, "Several once said,
There are three difficulties in translation: trustworthiness, expressiveness, and elegance. It is very difficult to seek trustworthiness! Gu Xinyi, if you don’t understand, even if you don’t translate it, then you can’t understand it; just look at the terms you translated by Jing Qi, maybe they can’t be called elegant, but they are both trustworthy and expressive. We who study medicine The wording must not be sloppy, as long as the translation is accurate, it doesn't matter if it is indecent, we are not composing poems or lyrics. "
"In my opinion, Jing Qi can not only teach students Western medicine, but also teach them English!" Seeing that Shen Long is so capable, Xu Dingchao added another burden to him.
In fact, I can also teach them German, Russian, Japanese, and Dutch. Even Chinese medicine is enough to be their teacher. Be polite, stay in Baicao Hall for dinner, and talk about it with Bai Yingxuan who came out to accompany the guests at the dinner table. Ok, deal.
The next day Xu Dingchao came again. It was a verbal agreement before, but now it is a formal procedure. He sent Shen Long a red letter of appointment written by Zhang Baixi, the Minister of Management. If this thing is brought into modern times, it will definitely be a good thing. The alumni of Peking University will try their best to buy it for the museum of their alma mater for collection.
Shen Long took the letter of appointment with both hands. Seeing this scene, Bai Wenshi and Bai Yingxuan were overjoyed. In their opinion, the Imperial University Hall is similar to the Imperial College. They never thought that their own children could become teachers of the Imperial College.
Getting the letter of appointment meant that Shen Long was already an official member of the Peking University. He followed Xu Dingchao to the Temple of the Horse, and met Zhang Baixi, the minister of management, Wu Rulun and Gu Hongming, the vice president of Ren Zhengde, and the translator of the university. Historical celebrities such as Yan Fu and Lin Shu, the general manager and deputy general manager of the bookstore.
Zhang Baixi, Wu Rulun, and Gu Hongming were busy with things, so they chatted with Shen Long for a while, but Yan Fu and Lin Shu chatted a little more. Yan Fu praised Shen Long for publishing an article in "Nature", while Shen Long I am even more curious about Lin Shu and Lin Qinnan. Although this is a well-known translator, he himself does not know foreign languages.
Although Lin Shu did not know foreign languages, he had a solid foundation in ancient prose, so he needed to cooperate with a friend who knew foreign languages. The friend first read the content in Chinese, and Lin Shu then translated the content into classical Chinese. Lin Shu's translation speed was very fast. Often, Lin Shu had already written the classical Chinese text that needed to be translated before his friends finished reading.
He is good at writing, and he will modify or even rewrite some plots according to his own understanding when translating. Some of the works translated by this free translation method have enhanced the literary appeal of the works, and some plots are even more vivid than the original works. It is brilliant, but there are also some places where the translation is improper, which deviates from the original meaning of the original work. At the same time, there are inevitably mistakes and omissions in the translation by others. Therefore, Lin Shu's translation has many mistakes and has been criticized by the world.
After seeing these masters, Shen Long followed Xu Dingchao back to Taiping Street behind the Inner Gate, ready to take office officially. However, Shen Long, who was very popular in the headquarters of the Imperial University Hall, received a cold reception here. After class teaching and Western medicine teaching, some people immediately expressed dissatisfaction.
Especially the foreign professors hired by the university with a lot of money, "Dear President Xu, you invite a Chinese to teach Western medicine? With all due respect, does this young man understand Western medicine?"
