Chapter 235: Besides Spring and Autumn Translation, who else can there be?

No. 235 Who else besides Spring and Autumn Translation?

Kevin was born in a British family who immigrated to the United States in the early twentieth century. Lupton is also a typical English surname. But the Rupp family reproduced for three or four generations to Kevin, and they have long been completely Yankee and become a pure and common American family. However, the Hollywood in the movie is not really Hollywood, and Kevin's character cannot be imagined with the image of a supporting role in a movie and TV series. Kevin's personality is very introverted, more similar to the inherent impression of the programmer community in the Chinese society.

Kevin's spare time is often given to comics.

Kevin has also had contact with Japanese light novels. It feels very interesting at first reading, and I get bored after reading a few. The reason is simple. Kevin can't find a sense of substitution in light novels. There are many kinds of otaku. Kevin self-recognizes as a technical otaku who likes whimsical stories. It should correspond to the English word geek, not otaku.

For Kaiwen, the protagonist of Japanese light novels, too house, too wasteful, is incompatible with his pursuit.

Kevin likes the story of making progress.

Kevin longs for positive energy to become stronger.

The more decadent, the more Kevin desires positive energy.

Unfortunately, there are not many such wonderful stories.

It was already 23:27 on this day, but Kevin had nothing to do without sleep: "Another long and difficult night!"

When Kevin was bored, he subconsciously sat in front of his laptop and opened the Spring and Autumn search main page.

In terms of market share, Spring and Autumn Search is not excellent, ranking behind Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft Live_Search, and ahead of AOL Search and Ask.com. At first glance, Chunqiu Search is already the fourth largest search engine in the US search market. In fact, Chunqiu Search's market share is only a poor 5.2%. However, due to Wei Dongsheng's use of computer intelligent life, for Google's long-term technological leadership for six months to one year, Chunqiu Search has a very good reputation. Especially in the computer industry, practitioners generally believe that the technical background of Spring Search is better than Google.

Looking around the world's Internet companies, the heroes of market value, Google ranked first, Amazon ranked second, and Spring and Autumn Search ranked third. Even if the market share of Chunqiu Search is far lower than that of Google, it is still an obvious enterprise worth looking forward to.

After Intel fell into the quagmire, the employees flew in a disaster, Kevin also tried to find his own new students, respectively, to Google, Amazon, and Chunqiu search three top Internet companies to vote for resumes. Among the three companies, Kevin said that he has a geek personality and most hope to get the offer of Spring and Autumn Search. It's a pity that Luohua is sentimental and unintentional, and all three of Kevin's resumes have fallen into the dark. There is no news yet.

Kevin did not give up hope and continued to pay attention to the recent developments of the three companies.

Retrieving the stock prices of the three companies, Google’s share price was 457.52 US dollars at the beginning of the month and 570.08 US dollars per share today; Amazon’s was US$78.46 per share at the beginning of the month and today’s share price was 84.52 US dollars; The capital market is bullish on blue-chip stocks.

Kevin focused on his first target of Spring and Autumn Search, and the current hot spot of public opinion is the update of the Spring and Autumn Translation version just launched.

Generally speaking, public opinion tends to criticize negatively, and everyone commented: "Compared with the previous major version update, this time is a routine update with no value."

Chunqiu Translation’s negative comments slightly affected Chunqiu Search’s share price to a certain extent. Today’s share price was 336.68 US dollars, compared with yesterday’s 338.95 US dollars, a decrease of about 0.67%. Summarizing stock price data can draw a simple conclusion: Chunqiu Translation is after all a regular business of Chunqiu Search, and everyone has low expectations for it. Although everyone underestimates the value of this major version update of Chunqiu Translation, it does not affect their continued overestimation of the wonderful prospects of Chunqiu Search.

Kevin returned to the main page of Chunqiu search and was about to personally test the translation of the new version of Chunqiu. Suddenly, he found that there was a "book" option beside the translation icon.

When Kevin clicked on the link curiously, a simple and simple web page popped up, with about twenty books all over the screen in graphic form.

The names of the books are very strange:

Fighting_Universe;

Man_To_God;

...

Kevin looked blank, and said to his heart what this is all about.

Randomly select a book, and then randomly select one of the paragraphs. Unexpectedly, the content is unexpectedly horrible. Not only is the content of the novel not elegant and elegant, but also occasionally encounters errors that contradict English grammar.

Turning back to the homepage, Kevin suddenly realized that this is an experimental collaboration between Chunqiu Translation and Chunqiu Literature. Chunqiu Translation can translate Chinese novels into English, French, Spanish, Russian and other languages ​​with very little manpower. Realizing that these novels are machine translations, Kevin's tolerance for novels has been greatly improved, and this level of translation is not unacceptable.

With the idea of ​​experiencing the quality of Spring and Autumn Translation, Kevin opened a book at random and read its content in depth. Initially, Kevin critically examined the quality of the translation, muttering how to describe this sentence; sighing that computers are computers after all, and Spring and Autumn Translation did not handle some basic grammar properly. But reading, Kevin forgot to translate, forgot to ridicule, and forgot to criticize, quietly and gradually immersed in the story in the book, following the protagonist in joy, anger and sorrow, and following the protagonist into the mysterious world.

It wasn't until an alarm sounded that Kevin suddenly woke up.

Looking at the alarm clock, it was already 7:20 in the morning the next morning.

Kevin actually read the novel overnight without knowing it.

Realizing that it was approaching work time, Kevin hurried out. When he came to the office, he had to deal with the things that had to be solved perfunctorily. Kevin's mind immediately reverberated with the story of last night's novel: the protagonist was born in a declining nobleman, accidentally activated the relics of his ancestors, in order to rejuvenate the family, constantly and the enemy fighting.

For Kevin, the story has a sense of substitution.

As a child, Kevin often listened to his grandfather telling about the glorious history of his family, saying that the Rupps were originally descended from pure English aristocrats. In the British bourgeois revolution four hundred years ago, Kevin's ancestors were a member of the kingly party and died tragically in the Battle of Marston Meadows in 1644. During the reign of Oliver_Cromwell, Kevin's ancestors were greatly oppressed, and one of the branches changed their surname to Rupp and took refuge. However, the British bourgeois revolution is not the end of the glory of the Rupp family. In fact, after the Rupps lost their land, they were forced to catch the capitalist express train because of the times and unexpectedly became the early capitalists in Britain. It’s a pity that the day is cloudy and sunny, and the moon is profitable and lossy. Kevin’s Lupus went from prosperity to decline in the 19th century. The First World War in the early 20th century completely destroyed all the assets of Kevin’s ancestors .

The story of the ancestors can only be heard for nothing, but the story of last night has a strong resonance in Kevin's heart. Kevin couldn't help but wonder whether his aristocratic ancestors and capitalist ancestors also left him an artifact that could shed blood to recognize the Lord? If you can get this artifact, you might be able to rejuvenate your family, you don’t have to worry about being fired by Intel’s head Otellini, and you don’t have to worry about not getting offers from Google, Amazon, and Chunqiu Search.

Thinking of the story of the novel, Kevin thinks of the history of the decline of his family; thinking of the protagonist with a similar starting point, Kevin can't help substituting for the protagonist, looking forward to the development of the subsequent plot. When the alarm clock rang in the morning, Kevin just read a small climax-the protagonist who has done magic is about to slap his enemy in the face. After all, Kevin could not resist the temptation of advancing the plot. After getting the job at hand, Kevin immediately ignored the work time constraints, opened the novel last night along the Spring and Autumn search homepage path, and continued reading online.

At noon, Kevin read the novel at first sight.

The colleague greeted Kevin for dinner. Kevin kept his eyes on the screen and said casually: "Bring me a fast food."

The colleague was surprised that Kevin was serious or obsessed and walked towards Kevin. Approaching Kevin, my colleague accidentally discovered that Kevin didn't think about programming his own work during working hours. Kevin put his fingers on the keyboard and pretended to be working, but he was actually staring at the novel on the screen. The colleague was more familiar with Kevin’s living habits and asked, "What novel, Japanese light novel?"

Kevin corrected: "Chinese Novels."

My colleague was surprised: "Hua Guo also has popular novels?"

Kevin: "Yes, and very..."

Kevin thought for more than ten seconds, and chose the adjective that he thought was more appropriate: "Very imaginative."

Colleagues did not agree with Kevin's views, and laughed and said ironically: "Haha, Chinese people have imagination?"

Kevin understood the tone of his colleague.

If it were in the past, Kevin might ridicule his colleagues and say that Chinese people can only copy and copy, and electronic products are all dangerous bombs. But today, Kevin subconsciously argued for Huaguo's novel: "At least, this book is very imaginative. In my mind, this novel is by no means weaker than "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings."

Of course my colleagues do not believe it.

Approaching Kevin’s computer screen to read a random passage, his colleague immediately showed a disdainful expression: "This writing is not as good as my little daughter."

Kevin again defended his favorite novel: "This is machine translation. Machine translation can be translated to this level, it is already very remarkable."

Colleagues and Kevin have a certain personal relationship, and both like fantasy stories such as super power comics. Just a glimpse of the light, this text has left a simple impression in my colleagues: the grammatical structure is simple and the content is bloated, the words and sentences are very simple, but the meaning is commendable. My colleague is a software engineer who understands the current situation and difficulty of machine translation in general, and his eyes widened in surprise: "This novel is machine translation?"

Kevin is more willing to immerse himself in the plot of the novel, without raising his head and perfunctory colleagues saying, "Yes."

Colleague: "Really machine translation?"

Kevin explained two more sentences: "I tried to switch to French. The quality of the French version is equal to the quality of the English version. If it is not machine automatic translation, who has so much money to hire a translator who has just learned to speak?"

Colleagues believed in Kevin’s practice: "Spring and Autumn Translation?"

Kevin smiled and said: "Who else can anyone besides Spring and Autumn Translator? It can't be the dumb Google Translate."
