The Interpreter
- Episode 17 -
I told you to sleep before, but you didn't. It's going to get busy later.
You have experiences on executing these types of overseas assignments, Director.
I'm an intern and it's my first time. I'm afraid that I might not be able to handle it.
Since the Institute has sent you out for this assignment, that means they acknowledge your abilities.
Don't lose your cool during crucial times. There are no interns here, but only qualified interpreters.
Believe in yourself. Believe in me. I am your mentor.
I didn't think I would come to Switzerland again
for such urgent circumstances.
I never thought there would be an avalanche in the Valle Mountain.
I came with Xiao Hua in the past.
Then it must have been very romantic.
Romance has nothing to do with it. I loved her, she didn't love me.
But she did tell me a love story regarding Valle Mountain.
I don't know how to drive. You should have waited for your brother to be on vacation before coming.
Have him drive you around the mountains and have fun.
I've come to Switzerland many times.
Not once have I come to have fun.
Then why did you come?
To see you.
I'm nothing much to see.
You should go back and see Valle Mountain.
There are many mountains in Switzerland that are more well-known than Valle Mountain.
Why do you keep telling me to see Valle Mountain?
You haven't heard about that story having to do with Valle Mountain?
I haven't.
It was named as Pure Love Mountain.
The legend was that in the past there was a Swiss couple who were in love,
but their families were feuding.
So they met and went to the Valle Mountain top.
Because there is a field on the top of the mountain, you can see far away without any disruption.
So people who love each other will never miss each other.
That's right.
On the road to love, the greatest mistake is missing opportunities.
"On the road to love, the greatest mistake is missing opportunities."
Jia Yang, that was very well said.
"On the road to love, the greatest mistake is missing opportunities."
That is well said.
If you were to translate this phrase into French, how would you do it?
And to translate it as refined as how it sounds in Chinese.
This is pretty difficult.
Because "missing" and "mistake" in Chinese are two words with the same two characters, also with a reverse order to each other.
If it were in French...
Of course. If it were not difficult, why would you be needed?
Hello?
Ok, I understand.
Right now there are Chinese people stranded on the mountain and need someone to interpret for the rescue team.
Can you do it?
- I can, Director. - Let's go.
Director! Director.
I got it!
It can be translated like this:
[French] On the path of love, the biggest mistake is to go away.
That was not bad.
Qiao Fei, watch out!
[French] Mr. Cheng, Mrs. Qiao, are you there ?
[French] We need a rescue team, there are three people who fell into a crevasse.
[French] Two interpreters and one rescuer... You have to come right away. Right away.
Director.
Director? Director, what's wrong?
Don't scare me, Director.
Help! Someone help!
Someone help!
Cheng Jia Yang, wake up!
Are you okay?
Director, don't scare me.
Help!
Director, wake up. Wake up.
Don't die.
I haven't become the real employee yet, Director.
Director. Cheng Jia Yang, wake up. Cheng Jia Yang.
On the road to love, the greatest mistake is missing opportunities.
My name is Qiao Fei, what's your name? Are you also an exchange student?
You're not suited to be an interpreter.
Just because you say so? Who are you to judge me so quickly?
If you keep arguing with me, you will affect the interview.
Based on our policy, I can fire you right now.
Are you upset because I gave you a zero?
So are you coming to squall here at I.A.I.?[French] A kite.
Who do you think you are? You think the Institute cannot do without you?
Will the planet not spin if you are not around?
Why are you here?
- So you treat me as a friend? - Not many people have witnessed me drunk.
If we're not friends, then I can only kill you.
Then, do you like me?
I like you. I like arguing with you.
I'm already used to you being with me every day, Director.
Don't die.
Wake up. Wake up.
♫ Honey, look at me. ♫
♫ One "I love you" is enough. ♫
♫ Honey, believe me. ♫
♫ If a world without you, ♫
You're awake!
♫ love will lose all its meanings. ♫
You scared me to death! You scared me to death!
Hey, what's wrong?
Don't make such a big fuss.
Wasn't I only unconscious?
I fainted, so you're supposed to give me CPR.
[French] Love is like the game of Hangman.
[French] If we don't find the right word, we lose.
Translating it like this will give it more feeling, understand?
♫ Embrace silence tightly. ♫
♫ Honey, look at me. ♫
Why are you staring at me so intensely?
Were you also hit by the snow? Did that make you lose a few brain cells?
♫ Honey, believe me. If a world without you, ♫
♫ love will lose all its meanings. ♫
The Chinese tourists, who everyone worried about,
in the skiing incident in Switzerland has now been resolved perfectly.
Relying on local Chinese to help out in the rescue.
There were no Chinese tourists who died and all of them were rescued.
Switzerland Valle Mountain's earthquakes have also come to an end.
The earthquake specialist has stated that there is a low chance of aftershocks.
The local rebuilding process is happening as I speak.
Old Cheng, your son Jia Yang performed
very elegantly in this incident in Switzerland.
No, it's the Chinese youths born after the '80s
who have performed very well in this incident.
They are a team.
Any Chinese person who lives overseas, represent our country's image.
Yes. Old Cheng,
Jia Yang has always been my one regret.
Because of you, he can't enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
That's not because of me. That's what he wanted.
Because my father is Cheng Si Yuan, I don't want to get in through this connection.
Do you think we want you only because of your relationship with your father?
You might not think this way, but that's not how other people see it.
I understand. You don't want to depend on your father.
Proud and arrogant.
In truth, behind your proud image, it is your lack of self-confidence.
Why are you afraid of Cheng Si Yuan's attention on you?
Are you afraid​ of people saying you are Cheng Si Yuan's son?
Why not let the situation that your father is
Cheng Jia Yang be discussed?
You… Your stubbornness is just like your father.
This place is so beautiful and peaceful.
There's no avalanche and people being frantic.
Having experienced desperation. Having experienced life and death.
Looking at this lake right now makes me feel outwardly calm.
Xiao Hua...
You got married. I think I should bury my feelings for you deep inside my heart,
just like the tranquil snowy mountain so wonderful and clean.
Everything is an illusion. It has to be.
All of a sudden you came to Switzerland. All of a sudden there was an avalanche, so you have been having illusions.
You must be annoyed by Wu Jia Yi, so your brain now has a problem.
Why would you be in love with Devil Cheng? He is Cheng Jia Yang.
You can't be in love with Cheng Jia Yang. His heart only has Wen Xiao Hua.
There are still a lot of problems that you haven't solved yet.
Clear. Clear. My mind must be clear.
Chanting? Rambling endlessly?
So you can make a wish, but I can't?
I didn't make a wish.
I was just discussing some stuff with the lake.
Me, too. I was just chatting with it.
Chatting about what? About how can you only do a lick of work at I.A.I. later?
If the lake water could talk, it would definitely say, "You can't."
Let's go.
How can that be possible?
What can be possible?
Nothing.
How come you are suddenly always complaining？
I have a little altitude sickness.
We aren't at high altitudes.
- Snowy mountain sickness, then.- There are no snowy mountains here, either.
It's nothing. Let's go.
Hello?
[French] Mr. Cheng, I saw the news. I learned that you've come to Switzerland to rescue the disaster victims.
[French] I think that I also have to do the best I can to save people
[French] without necessarily waiting for a disaster to happen. I will perform that surgery.
- [French] You have my word.- [French] Really?
[French] Thank you so much!
Dr. Mollet has agreed.
I represent the party and the people thanking you all for the remarkable rescue effort.
Every one of you during Switzerland's critical times of need
showed off the Chinese people's tradition of helping others in distress
and the human glory of saving other people.
I am proud of each and everyone of you.
In Switzerland, you represented China's image.
In a life and death situation,
you have represented the human's best character; kindness and love.
Jia Yang,
how is it? Are you still not going to come to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?
Uncle Liang, you do know...
Chief Secretary, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs can't possibly be stealing people from I.A.I.
This Old Tian still has such a straight temper.
Mei Mei, you've become even more outstanding.
Thank you.
- This lady is?- Let me introduce her to you.
This is our I.A.I.'s intern. Her name is Qiao Fei.
She is outstanding in all areas.
So assisting the incident overseas, I.A.I. had her come this time.
Good! We have to fear for the youth.(because they improve so quickly and will surpass the older generation)
You can do it! Hurry and grow.
Why are you here?
How come you didn't call for a nurse?
They are all busy. It is not like I am hurt so bad that I can't get up.
You may rise.
Make a call.
Who?
Did you settle it? He agreed?
I have to remind you. He just had throat surgery, so he can't talk too well.
It's fine. It's fine. As long as he can do the surgery.
A great interpreter is different. You can get whoever you want.
- You should go home and rest for a few days since your hand is injured to that point.- No need.
If you feel bad for me, I will go and live with you for a few days.
No problem.
But I might be assigned to an outpost.
Wow. Being the daughter-in-law for so many years, finally you are the mother-in-law now.
Congratulations. You are heading toward becoming a ambassador.
I haven't decided whether I am going or not.
Your reaction is not right.
You should be excited. Excited!
That is right. But if we recall,
when I called you the other day, I heard a female voice.
It was very delicate and pretty voice that said, "Stop."
I hadn't interrupted you doing bad things, had I?
You almost made me hit another car. I was driving and you want me to translate.
Are you alright?
What?
You are in love.
- In love with who?- I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
My Interpreter Cheng who only knows interpreting, also
gets caught up in his love of country or a beautiful woman. I can't believe it. I can't believe it.
Enough! Don't talk nonsense.
Don't I know you? Help me put this on.
Someday, you should bring her and show us.
I'd like to enlighten her.
Men need to put their career first.
Bro, you misunderstood. She is only my intern.
Where are you going?
Come with me.
Did you bring money?
- What for?- I need it.
How much?
All of it.
Doctor Gao.
How is he?
He was in shock. The doctor gave him a sedative, so he just fell asleep.
I heard you got injured because you tried to save our Old Sun.
- I wanted to go to see you, but I couldn't find time.- Ah… No need.
Now that our Old Sun is gone.
I can't leave the kid.
So many things have happened to your family.
You must need some money. Take it.
- No, no. I can't take money from you anymore. You have done so much for us.- Just take it.
Fine. Fine. Don't talk to me. Look at him.
He is...
Director Cheng from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
When he learned Xiao Xing Fu's condition, he
spoke to the specialist who came to visit China right away.
He has learned what is going on with Xiao Xing Fu.
- In truth, it is not...- In truth, it is not as bad as I thought.
Also, I will study with the Swiss specialist about
Xiao Xing Fu's surgery. This money
is a donation from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and FOPH. So you keep it.
Yes. Also that is only a part of it.
Once we get the rest ready, we will send it over through Dr. Gao.
- How can I thank you?- Big sister... Big sister, please get up.
After this kid's father died, we have gotten into a lot of debt.
Well… Calm down, Big Sister.
Director Cheng is very busy. He is going to take the kid's medical history and test results
and translate them, so we can communicate well with the Swiss specialist.
You need medical history, right? I will go get it. I will get it.
Here. Give it to Director Cheng.
Here is the medical history.
Director Cheng is very busy so he is leaving. Right?
Well, there are a lot of medical
terms and relating information about Xiao Xing Fu.
We will need Dr. Gao to explain it to us.
Dr. Gao, can you type with your hands?
Just give me that kind of job. I can do it.
That is great! I will leave it to you.
Doctor Gao, I am leaving now.
- Bye.- Bye. Thanks.
Director Cheng!

Here. Let's play a game.
- What kind of game?- A game about who you like.
- Sure. - Get a piece of paper.
- Paper.- I will ask and you write the answer.
Don't think.
- One kind of fruit.- "One kind of fruit."
One kind of color.
"One kind of color."
- One kind of animal. - "One kind of animal."
- Someone's name.- "Someone's name."
Your test result is you like to eat pineapple. You like blue.
You like giraffes and the person you like is me.
Sir. Sir.
What is your result?
- Are you calling me?- I saw that you have played the game with us.
Did you write your girlfriend's name?
No.
I wrote my girlfriend's name.
[French] Apple. Grey. Tiger.[Chinese] Fei.
It's here. It's here. It's here. Let's watch. Qiao Fei is on TV.
Stop watching. What is there to watch?
- I didn't see it clearly. I didn't see it clearly. Let's watch it again.- Yes, let's watch it again.- Oh, okay. Hold on.
Did you see it? Did you see it? Wow, Qiao Fei! You have to give me your autograph.
In the future, I know someone famous.
Hey, look at that handsome man! Isn't he the one who often comes looking for Qiao Fei?
Qiao Fei, is he your partner?
You only know now? He is Qiao Fei's partner.
He is often here looking for Qiao Fei.
Don't talk nonsense. He is my supervisor.
Your supervisor? A supervisor would do that?
- He looks at you lovingly.- That's right.
I am his intern.
Of course, he has to watch over me. He is afraid I will make mistakes.
Well… I am here to see Qiao Fei. They told me she is...
It is not what you think it is.
What did I think?
Why are you here?
I am… I am here… I'd like to...
I'd like to tell you... that you are doing pretty good lately.
You should keep working on it.
Did you specially came here to give me praise?
Yes.
Even though it doesn't sound very real,
but thanks. This is the best encouragement before my exam.
- Qiao Fei!- Yes!
Alright. You go in. It's fine.
Didn't you only want to invite her to a meal? Is it that hard?
You even have bought flowers, even though you knew you didn't have the courage to give them to her.
Director Cheng. You...
I was... going to… visit a grave.
You... You are going to visit a grave at this late hour?
Oh, that is true. It is already dark. I will go another day.
Wait... Are you throwing the flowers away? Why don't you gift them to me instead?
Sure. Gift this to you.
What a waste to throw them away!
Just in time. You are going to take the entrance exam soon.
I'm gifting you these flowers to encourage you.
I am preparing for an exam, and you're gifting me these flowers that were meant for visiting a grave?
I... I didn't mean it that way.
These flowers' name just happen to suit your name. Look, the "song qiao" flower has your "Qiao."
The eglantine (ye qiang wei) flower smells the best; it just happens to have your "Fei."
That is really far-fetched, but thank you.
Are you free tomorrow night?
I am. What's up?
Let's work... overtime together.
Work overtime again? Okay. You are the boss, so you get to decide.
Then... I am leaving, then.
See you tomorrow.

My wife, I am home.
My wife.
The sheet was just changed. Why are you laying on it whenever you want?
Get up. Get up!
What are you doing?
Go away.
What's wrong? Did I marry a cold beauty? I can't even kiss you, can I?
You wreak of alcohol. Go take a shower now.
This is my house. I will sleep however I like.
What kind of strange smell is this? Get out!
Please come in.
- Are you looking for me, Director?- Come in and sit down.
I have heard. Hao Zhe is taking two people with him and leaving here.
Do you know about this?
There are two more people?
Then what is the reason for them to come here and intern for?
They think Qiao Fei is getting too close to you,
so she has been selected beforehand.
- What do you think?- My thoughts are just like yours.
It is hard to admit defeat for people.
They have to find all kinds of reason to let themselves off easier.
But since it is coming to this point,
we can't just leave it be.
- What are we going to do about the residence permit?- Ah, I don't know.
I think Qiao Fei knows about us. I overheard Cheng Jia Yang and her talking about the list.
Cheng Jia Yang told her to keep a close eye on it.
- No way.- If that's the case, I also have no need to put up with it.
Who cares about residence? Which one of you guys will come with me?
Attention, everyone. We will have a short meeting.
We'd like to talk about a few things.
First of all, the entrance exam is open, fair, and righteous..
There is no operation under the table, like cut and dried decision making or insider information.
The job in I.A.I. has a very important special nature.
No one is stupid enough to save a little only to lose a lot
by hiring someone because of relationship.
Secondly, the first year after you become a real employee,
no one is allowed to work on any part-time job in any form.
If we find out, you will be fired.
With that, if you can't accept this,
then taking the exam would be meaningless, so you don't need to take it.
Thirdly, if anyone of you would like to withdraw from taking the exam,
then you should tell us right now.
If someone only stays for the exam because of the residence permit,
then I have to advise you that your operational capacity
will be effected by the utility in front of you.
Once your heart gets messed up, you won't be able to pass the exam.
I have made myself clear. Director Cheng.
[Recommendation Letter]
These two envelopes are the recommendation letters we have written for Lu Hua in Switzerland.
The location for work: You can pick either Zurich or Shanghai.
The salary is double than Fang Yu's offer.
It has very flexible working hours and very stable promotional opportunity.
Whoever in interested, it is here before you get off work.
The condition is too good.
I will go.
I will go, too.
Then the rest of you, I wish you good luck in taking the exam.
Hao Zhe.
I can't help it; a wise man submits to fate. I don't have any glorious ideals, anyway.
Fang Yu's condition is still in effect. If you guys want to go, you can make the contact yourself.
- Won't you go?- After being pushed like that, I realized that
I really like I.A.I.
No matter what, I have to thank you.
If it were not for you, Cheng Jia Yang would not have recommended us to Lu Hua.
If you really have to find an excuse to leave, I am honored to be your excuse.
Are you looking for me, Doctor Gao?
Yes, yes, yes. Come help me. I can't put it in with one hand.
How is Xiao Xing Fu's condition?
He is awake and is pretty good.
Please pay more attention to him. It is hard for the kid.
His dad is dead and he is also sick.
Why don't you go home and take a rest, Dr. Gao? You've always spent your time here everyday.
Well... it's lively here.
I heard you settled with the doctor from Switzerland.
Yes. In a few days, he will be here doing consultation.
- Here.- Here. Thank you.
Director,
you haven't given me any task for the overtime work.
- You don't seem to be in a good mood?- No, I am.
Yes, a bit.
Why?
For a long time now...I have been doing stuff to hurt people unintentionally.
Then it is being misunderstood. I also don't know why everyone has become like this.
That is because you care about other people too much and neglect yourself, so it turns out this way.
You are not fit to work with your state today. Go home.
No, no... I... I have a strong digesting capability.
I won't carry over my personal emotions to work. Don't you worry.
Look! You are worried about me neglecting you.
I don't want to go home. It makes me feel better just by looking at you.
Really?
I keep thinking that you have been hated constantly by so many interns.
Yet, you can still live with so much confidence.
What is there for me to complain?
Are you praising or blessing me?
Blessing me that I will always be that arrogant Cheng Jia Yang, right?
Let's go.
Where are we going?
I am taking you to a place.
What is this secret presentation?
Sit here.
I am inviting you to a movie.
Okay.
Let's play a translating game. I will translate all the male parts.
And you will translate the female parts.
- Okay.[A scene from "A Very Long Engagement" Movie, 2004]
- Do you want to watch what I am doing? I'll let you watch later. - [French] Does it hurt when you walk? Do you want to see what I am doing ? I'll show you
- I am not ready yet. - [French] it later, it's not entirely done yet.
Why are you crying?
- She looks at him. In the warm breeze, - [French] She's crossing her hands on her lap and watches him. In the smooth breeze, in the light
- under the sun in the garden, she saw him.- [French] of the garden, Mathilde is watching him, she's watching him,
- She saw you...[French] - she's watching him.
On that day, I had bought those flowers especially for you.
Okay!
What a vivid scene. This is exactly the story of Romeo and Ju—
- Jia Ming?- You two know each other?
Why are you here, Older Bro?
We not only know each other,
but we were pretty close to each other once. Right, dear?
What's wrong?
We haven't seen each other in so long. You won't even give me a hug, will you?
You have gotten tangled up with my brother?
-You... You...- Let go, Older Bro.
Let go. What are you doing here at my workplace?
- What is wrong?- Are you acting like a hero to save the beautiful woman?
What a coincidence! I was a hero back then as well. Why have I become the bad guy now, Qiao Fei?
I think there is a misunderstanding between us.
Misunderstanding? I am no longer useful to you, so you see me as a misunderstanding now?
For you, I transferred from psychology to neurosurgury.
For you, I went to Switzerland to pursue my studies. How about you?!
You took money from my mom and then broke up with me.
Now, you are tangled with my brother! Do you have some kind of thing with my family or what?!
I have never taken any money from your family! I have never asked you to do anything for me ever!
Older Bro-Older Bro, please calm down.
I bet you guys must have a misunderstanding. Let's sit down and talk it out.
What kind of misunderstanding? Where are these so many misunderstandings? She is the kind of woman who only cares about money.
Older bro, enough. Let go. Let go, okay?
- Get out. Go out with me.- Jia Yang! Jia Yang!- This is I.A.I. What are you doing? Hurry and leave!
Are you stupid? She just needs money.
You should tell me if you need money. I can help you. Why do you lie to me?
I don't know how to explain this to you.
You don't need to explain it to me. You were just like this back then.
Pretending to be so pathetic. What a liar. How sneaky you are.
I have never lied to you.
Alright. Were we ever in a relationship?
We have always been friends.
Friends? We are only regular friends?
Back then, I had told you that we are not suitable for each other.
Don't you remember? I had said that.
When you took my mom's money, you were not acting this way.
I have never taken money from your family.
When I went to Switzerland, you did take ¥100,000 from my mom.
Qiao Fei, I don't care about the money. I really don't care about the money.
I just can't stand someone who lies to me; using my feelings. Do you love me?
Back then, I had only agreed with you
to give it a try.
But I found out later that we were not suitable and you also knew
we couldn't be together.
Liar... Despicable.
Qiao Fei, go home quickly. Hurry and go home.
It is not what you think it is,
but I can't explain clearly right now.
If you don't know how to say it, then don't say anything. Hurry and go home and prepare for the exam.
How is your arm? Let's go to the hospital and bandage it again. Let's go.
We are not done talking.
Is it worth to pay up with your arm?
This is where I work. Could you please stop it?
Let's go. Let's go!
It is just like a nightmare. It starts clearly right in front of me.
This dream, I thought I had woken up from long ago.
In the end, I am still dreaming.
