Chapter 46 – Is English more difficult than Chinese? (Part 1)
Because of the crowd, Lin Mumu could only reluctantly turn around. Se helplessly looked at Su Xinlan:
“First of all, languages exist for the purpose of helping with our academic research. Because I have to read more documents and materials, I will learn English, but I will not regard it as a major achievement in itself. What’s the use of such thinking?
You’re from the Foreign Languages department, so you want me to talk to you in English. Since I’m from the religious studies department, should I have you use Taoist scriptures to talk to me?
Should I feel like the mundane English can’t possibly compare to Taoist scriptures?
“Lin Mumu, you cheated on the exam, and now you’re guilty, right? You can’t speak English at all!” Su Xinlan arrogantly denounced Lin Mumu in English.
However, Lin Mumu merely replied by saying a few words Su Xinlan didn’t understand at all.
“I asked you to speak English, not to babble nonsense.” Su Xinlan got somewhat anxious from waiting.
Lin Mumu sneered at her, and then simply walked away.
When Lin Mumu was already quite far from them, Yun Ruoshan wanted to work up the crowd with Su Xinlan in order to denounce Lin Mumu and expose her cheating. However, a girl of majoring in Chinese language in the liberal arts preparatory class kindly remind Su Xinlan:
“Just now, Lin Mumu spoke in ancient Chinese. She said that if you can understand it, you can talk to her in ancient Chinese, and in her turn, she’ll accompany you in English. In the end, you didn’t understand her ancient Chinese. But since she was able to answer you so accurately, she must have definitely understood what you said in English.
Su Xinlan’s face became more and more unsightly. Her Chinese language marks were also good, however, she didn’t dabble in such tricky things like ancient Chinese.
“Classmate xia is right. When we learn, we must first be modest and open-minded, and know how to respect our classmates, instead of being blinded by jealousy and seeking trouble all the time.” The head teacher of the preparatory class for the liberal arts students also added his thoughts as a final comment.
After the student’s explanation and the teacher’s affirmation, the crowd started viewing Su Xinlan and Yun Ruoshan differently. They actually wanted to make other look bad, yet ended up digging their own graves. From now onwards, would they still have the face to stay in the preparatory class?
