The Interpreter
- Episode 1 -
My name is Qiao Fei. I am an exchange student from Shanghai International Studies University to the University of Zurich to study French.
My life motto is: "When walking or passing by, don't miss out on anything."
I don't want to miss out on any beautiful scenery,
miss out on any happiness.
[University of Zurich - Center]
My name is Cheng Jia Yang. I am an interpreter.
Even though French is considered to be the most beautiful language,
in every single Chinese person's view,
Chinese is the most beautiful language.
My work just implies going back and forth between these two languages.
When interpreting, active voice is used the most.
I'm also behaving like this. When I see someone making a huge mistake while interpreting,
I won't let him get away with it. I will definitely point it out.
Some people, from birth, can never become an interpreter.
- You go to eat. I'll help you watch over them. - Okay.
[French] Hello.
[French] Hello, Mister. This is the brochure of our conference. You can take one.
You don't understand French, right?
But we have just ran out of brochures in Chinese.
How about you just take this one first. It has illustrations inside and is also rather detailed.
I'll help you to get a Chinese one later. Just sign your name over there at the table.
- Hello, Miss. Excuse me, are you an interpreter? - Yes.
Great.
Please help me translate what this friend wants to tell me.
- [French] Yes?- [French] The University of Zurich
[French] is among the best universities worldwide.
[French] Especially in the fields of molecular biology,
[French] neurology and anthropology.
[French] Albert Einstein and eleven other graduates or teachers have been granted the Nobel Prize.
[French] The University of Zurich is the biggest interdisciplinary university in Switzerland.
Your friend said that the University of Zurich,
Hmm... In the fields of biology and neurology and...
sociology, in all these fields it enjoys world-class status. Hmm...
In the fields of molecular biology, neurology, anthropology and more, the University of Zurich enjoys world-class status.
Including Albert Einstein, and eleven other Nobel Prize Laureates were taught here.
The University of Zurich is the biggest interdisciplinary university in Switzerland.
- I understood.- Thank you. Thank you, you two.
You're welcome.
Hey, you understand French?
You were awesome. My name is Qiao Fei. What's your name? Are you also an exchange student?
In your wording just now, you translated "molecular biology" to "biology".
And to translate "anthropology" to "sociology," do you know that this is a huge mistake?
I translated it wrongly.
I'm only in my second year now.
Some words I'll only learn in my third year.
If you're like this, you don't even need to get into your third year.
What do you mean? Explain it.
You made a mistake in what is most fundamental.
These two words appeared in chapter eight, section three in the textbook for first-year students. Go back and look it up.
Don't think that French is a subject in which you can easily pass.
In your first year, you have just entered university and play around for a year. In your second year, you go abroad and let the year go by.
In your third and fourth year, you date and this is how you get a diploma. If you study French like this, you're mischievous.
On what basis do you say that I'm mischievous?
I'm telling you, I got a scholarship because my grades are excellent,
that's how I came to Switzerland as an exchange student. Listen to me.
My dream is to become an interpreter.
Okay, I'll go there immediately.
Interpreter? You don't fit.
- You... - Qiao Fei?
Is something wrong? Your face is all red.
I met a super arrogant and conceited guy.
Huh? What guy? Don't care about him.
Continue working hard till the last minute.
You can get a scholarship as long as you get an "excellent" on your internship.
Fighting!
Qiao Fei, your scholarship has been ruined.
Why?
It seems like it's because you made that mistake while interpreting.
You really have bad luck. This Alex Cheng, who you met at the entrance to the conference hall last time,
is an interpreter.
At the entrance to the conference hall...
That arrogant and conceited guy I met at the entrance to the conference hall last time,
is an interpreter?
I'm such a dummy. And I even told him that my name was Qiao Fei.
I even asked him if he's an exchange student.
My–My scholarship has really been ruined.
So you can't stay in Switzerland anymore and will have to return back home now, right?
I still want to study one more semester in Switzerland.
Some Alex Cheng?
How did I wrong him?
If I ever see him again, I'm not done with him yet.
Last time, he also told me that I can't even remember words that are learned during first year.
Student, please let me borrow it shortly.
They really are in here.
Don't care about him. He's petty.
This is in the additional vocabulary list. Who would learn it?
Now, he made it so that you can't even be an exchange student anymore.
From today on,
I'll restore my dignity and work hard until I excel.
I'll definitely become an excellent interpreter!
[6 Years Later]
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Lost in Translation Team @Viki
A wealthy person just came in and bought six bottles of wine from me. That's half a dozen! Now, I'm going to become rich!
Oh, right. Qiao Fei, didn't you say that you needed to save money in order to pay for your dorm? You should go first; there's already a line outside.
You guys go. I won't be joining.
You even came to become a waitress. What are you still so arrogant about?
What's wrong with being a waitress? I have this lofty and unyielding character to me.
These three types of wine are very good. This type of wine is very gentle. And this white wine–
Sir, look at this. This wine suits you very well. What do you think? How about this one?
Sir, may I recommend this wine? Would you like a taste?
- Alright.- It's from '92– I'm so sorry, Sir!
Sir, I apologize! Let me wipe that for you. Sir, I'm really sorry!
- Sir, I'm very sorry. - The supervisor is coming to blame you.
Let me wipe that. Let me wipe that. I'm sorry, Sir. I'm sorry.
Hey, Mister! What are you doing?
Move. Move. Move. What happened?
Red wine stains cannot be washed out.
My apologies. I will deal strictly with my workers. We will replace your shirt with a new one.
This dress shirt was given to me by a most important friend of mine.
There is no second shirt like this in the world. This is a private custom-made shirt from Italy.
Just now, he poured on it himself–
Nonsense! What you're saying is that the customer spilled wine on himself?
If you don't want to work, then leave.
He really did just pour on himself–
How many times do I have to tell you? The customer is god. Last time, there was a customer
who wouldn't drink Australian red wine, saying that the wooden buckets used there have a different flavour from those produced in France.
Didn't I immediately cancel our Australian contracts?
You wrongly accused those Australian wooden buckets. They were, after all, imported from France.
Do you not want to work anymore? You now are let go.
- Hey! What are you doing?! You–- Qiao Fei!
Are you crazy?
I want to tell you, under a certain ratio
when red wine stain mixes with white wine stain, it will automatically reduce in color and be easier to wash out.
Are you running a science experiment, or are you too drunk?
In emergency situations, using such a treatment, clothes can be washed clean.
So, there is no need to continue troubling her.
- Is the matter resolved? If so, I'll be leaving.- Wait!- I'm sorry.
To express our condolences, we will gift you a bottle of wine.
Qiao Fei, hurry and take the customer to the stockroom and get him one.
Hurry! Please.
This way, please.
You–You, please be careful.
Here, go ahead.
Wait, I don't have my wallet.
- Excuse us, driver.- Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I think my wallet is in my car.
Alright, alright. In the car. Just leave the car here. Come to get it tomorrow.
- It's really hard to get a taxi here. I'll spot you for now. Just get in for now.- Will you be responsible if I lose my wallet?
- It won't get lost. Your car is parked right here.- How can it not get lost?- It won't get lost.
- You believe me. You quickly get in the car. - If I leave my wallet here, how will I pay?- You drank too much. You drank... I'll spot for you...
You... Why are you so annoying?
Driver, you go on.
Do you know how hard it is to get a taxi here?
What exactly is it that you want? I've already apologized, you've already poured wine on me, and I've already given you wine, yet you...
All I want is to get my wallet.
- I didn't take your wallet!- I didn't say that you took it. I'm saying that if it were lost, you wouldn't be able to take responsibility for it.
- I have very important things in my wallet.- I don't care what important things you have in it.
What kind of drunken fit are you having here? If you've lost something, then go get the police!
You go get the police. You call them over! Go!
What are you two up to? Let me see your identification cards.
I didn't bring it.
Uh, my identification card is in my wallet.
My wallet is in my car.
He's drunk. Where's your car? I'll take you there now.
I'm not telling you.
- Do you two know each other?-Yes, we do.- Do we really? We don't.
You said you didn't know me before, now you say you know me.
Mr. Officer, this is how it is. I am her customer.
- Say it properly!- What kind of customer?
A customer at a winery. I work here. This is a winery.
He's drunk. I'm trying to send him home.
- His identification card is in his car. His car is over there. Let's go.- Wait.
- Is it like what she said? - I don't know. It was her that called upon the police.
It has nothing to do with me. Solve it yourself.
- Yes. - I'm going home.
Wait. If his identification card is in his car, what is his name?
What is my name?
You two don't even know what each other's names are. And yet, you said you two know each other.
My name is Qiao Fei. I am a third-year postgraduate student at Shanghai International Studies University.
I–I work here. I am a university student.
You are a student, right? Miss, whatever you say, we can't fully trust you.
I really am a university stude– I really don't know how to explain. How about this?
Do you have time to go to the school with me? I'll go show you my student ID.
How about this? The both of you come with me to the local police station. Let's go, go, go! Get into the car.
-No, police... -Oh, Mr. Police Officer is going to take me home.- You...
Let's go!
Hey, what are you doing? You...
Hey! You move.
You are awake. Hurry and explain everything to the police.
Oh, I'm so dizzy.
The situation has been settled.
Later, someone will come to identify her and pick her up. You will also need to identify yourself.
Oh!
There is no password. Take it and use it.
I've always been loyal to the people I know and generous to the needy.
Why are you giving me money?
Did you forget?
- I...- Did you really forget?
Watch what you're saying.
Nothing. Did you forget yesterday?
Mr. Police, it is not what you think it is.
Don't move.
Thank you.
Are you alright?
- I'm fine.- Good.
Hey!
Wait a minute. Thank you. I'm Wu Jia Yi.
Oh, don't look at me like this. I just came from a shooting.
I didn't have time to take off this wig. I'm actually an actress.
Actress? Quite pretty.
Oh, right. This is my business card.
- A future superstar.- Yeah.
Alright, goodbye.
So handsome.
You've released the man from earlier, but how come I'm still detained here?
We're not detaining you. We'd just like to get a better understanding of the situation from you.
When we get this clear, you can leave after someone picks you up.
Hello? When are you coming Jia Yi?
Don't worry. Where are you? I will come pick you up. Wait there. Wait.
The person that can identify who I am, came already. I need to get her.
How about this? I won't run away. I will leave my phone here.
I got this phone after working for two months. I will definitely not run away.
May I? I will come back after picking her up.
- Go. - Thank you.
What are you looking at?
It's all your fault. If it wasn't for you, then I would've already arranged a time and place to meet up with that handsome guy.
Are you alright? You fell in love at first sight over here?
Aiyo, that person was definitely some professional.
Just by looking at him, you could sense a steady professional aura coming towards you.
I think water has entered into your head.
That's enough. After I've caught him, you wouldn't say anything anymore.
It's all thanks to you. Without you, I would not have met him.
Geez, look at what you're wearing. What good person could you even catch? You look all coquettish.
Nonsense! What coquettish? This is called sexy.
If you continue to talk like this, I won't go and testify for you.
Geez. Why did I think of having you testify for me?
Okay. Alright. Please help me talk with Mr. Police Officer nicely, okay?
Okay. Are you still going to say I am coquettish?
Not a bit. You're totally classy. One look and people will know that you are a superstar in the future.
Hey! Hey! Wake up. We are home.
Brother, thanks for the ride. (Ge means "older brother"; doesn't have to be biological)
For situations like this, call your dad instead.
Us people with the last name of Gao aren't all you Chengs' chauffeurs.
Don't say that. I don't mean it like that.
Look at your personality. Don't make your dad, mom and the Cheng family lose face.
What?
Never mind. Get off. I won't tell your parents about this.
Ah. Hey, what did I do last night?
I can't remember anything.
You were locked up in the local police station and now you're acting like you don't know?
You are your dad's biological son, which is not the case for me.
You cannot do bad.
Geez, you misunderstood.
Fine. Fine. Fine. No need to explain. I don't hear or care.
- Next time if something comes up, don't come find me.- Bro.
Can't you just talk properly to me? I am your younger brother.
Bro, Sister Xiao Hua is coming back tomorrow.
I have surgery tomorrow.
Xiao Hua, Happy Birthday.
Let's wait for Jia Ming a bit more. We said that we would blow the candle out together over here.
Let's not wait for him.
How about we take a picture first?
Alright.
Jia Yang, move over a little.
Why?
Let's take a picture, first.
1, 2, 3.
I want to cut a picture of Jia Ming and add it onto this later,
so that it can become a picture of the three of us.
It might not be enough room for Jia Ming. How about we take another one?
Alright.
What's wrong? Did you burn yourself?
I'm fine.
- [French] Hello. - [French] Thank you, sir.
[French] Today is the second day of the stay of Duval in Shanghai.
[French] He's going to make a speech in a well-known university of foreign languages in Shanghai.
[French] It's a pleasure and an honor to be here today.
[French] I hope that this conference will help the economic trade of our countries.
I hope that this meeting will help promote economic partnership between the two countries.
[French] The goal of this meeting is to create a platform
for the discussion and information exchange.
We don't really like talking because it's cute. We like...
[French] We don't read or write poems because they are cute,
[French] we read and write poems because we are part of mankind.
[French] Human beings are full of passion.
[French] Medicine, Law, Business,
[French] Engineering. Here are the necessaries and noble pursuits to maintain life.
[French] Beauty, romance, love.
[French] It's what makes us stay alive.
Wu Jia Yi, why are we late again? Why are we late again?
It's because you kept lazing in bed and refusing to get up.
Are you blaming me? I didn't even blame you.
If not for you, I could have stayed a few nights more in the hotel booked by the production crew.
Don't take this road. This road won't do. I'm in a hurry to hear that lecture. You...
Don't hinder the driver from driving. Now you know how to panic? Why didn't I see you panicking when you got detained at the station last night?
D-Don't talk about that person anymore. That person is my jinx. I'm really down on my luck.
Wu Jia Yi! What do I do? I still need to listen to the lecture.
Do you have any formal attire in your car that I can change into?
There are some clothes on the back seat; take a look.
What is this?
You can wear it, this suits you well.
Is there more?
I think there's some pants.
Are these pants?
Just try to configure it a little, and you'll be able to wear it, won't you?
What's the point of you owning a cell phone? I called you over 800 times already.
Don't mention it anymore. I met a god of bad luck.
Where are your headphones?
I didn't get any. They ran out of them.
After all, you won't be able to use them.
- Look, it's Cheng Jia Yang. - So handsome.
- Cheng Jia Yang, Cheng Jia Yang.- I really worship him. He is too handsome.- So what?
Cheng Jia Yang just walked by.
If he walked by, then let him walk by.
Are you here to listen to the lecture or to see Cheng Jia Yang?
[French]First of all,
[French]we wish everyone
[French]to warmly welcome our distinguished guest,
[French] Our guest, Mr. Laurent Duval.
[French] I'm very happy to be here today.
Hello, everyone.
- Why do I feel like this voice is very familiar?- I am very happy to be here today.
Of course, it is familiar.
You hear it on television every day, how can you not be familiar with it?
I know this voice.
I heard that Cheng Jia Yang will go to the interview tomorrow.
Too bad I have a boyfriend already, but you have a chance.
Cheng Jia Yang? You mean that devil incarnate Cheng Jia Yang?
I never knew that he was so good looking back then.
Don't you think he looks a little like Huang Xuan? (Huang Xuan is the actor's name that is playing Cheng Jia Yang)
However handsome he is, it's got nothing to do with you. He's a devil, and that's that.
I... Don't say that I'm not warning you. When you go for the interview tomorrow, make sure that you stay far away from him. Because those who meet him will definitely be eliminated.
Did you forget how our senior reminded us?
If you want to get into the Institute of Advanced Interpretation, you need to remember these ten points. One, you need to speak French better than Chinese.
Two, that is, to stay far away from Cheng Jia Yang. As for the rest of the eight points, please refer to the second point.
Okay, okay. I got it.
Thank you for Mr. Duval's speech. The rest of the time is for Q&A.
Okay, how about the guy in the back.
[French] Mr. Duval, I know that you speak really good English and that you like poetry.
[French] You have marvelously translated a poem written by John Keats.
[French] Saying that you have a poor English level, is pure modesty.
[French] What is the advice you can give to us, the students learning French in China?
[French] First of all, I would like to congratulate you Miss
[French] for your excellent level of French.
I thank you for your question.
Yes, I like Keats.
I want...
"Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter."(John Keats)
[French] Follow your heart.
I think I could use a quote from Keats to answer your question.
Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard are sweeter.
Melodies that can be heard are beautiful, but those that cannot be heard are even more beautiful.
Communication via languages is limited, listen with your heart.
[French] Thank you very much.
[French] You're welcome.
Thank you to Mr. Duval, for his wonderful speech.
[French] Thank you again, Mr. Duval.
These juniors of yours were sent by the Institute to test my professionalism, weren't they?
Either the French they speak is even harder to understand than Chinese, or they just speak English straight up.
Finally, someone who can speak well, and the first thing she talks about is Keats.
She must be from the Western Literature Readers Club.
If there's a chance, next time, go ahead to omit the third language.
Alright, Alright, don't worry. I can manage with my English level.
- I'll be off first. - Be off then.
- Hi - Long time no see.
Hey, didn't you say you were going to stay in Zurich to wait for my brother? Why did you suddenly decide to come back?
I can't force him if he doesn't want to go.
I must come back; otherwise, I'd have to forget we were in a relationship.
He told me he has to perform surgery today, and asked me to come pick you up.
Don't help him find excuses. Even if he doesn't have surgery to perform, he still wouldn't come pick me up.
Let's go. Come, let me.
Hello, Dad. Oh, yes. I'm in Shanghai.
Jia Yang picked me up. About the red wine...
Dad, I don't want to trouble Jia Yang.
Alright, I'll ask him.
What's up? Does Uncle want me to help him with something?
Yeah, you heard him. He's the one who wants you to help, but I don't want to ask you.
Tell me, what is it?
My dad's red wine company wants to develop a market for high-end red wines.
He wants to find some Swiss vineyards, so as to ensure the quality of red wine.
I remember the last time in Lausanne, you had a friend called Xu Dong, who knew a lot of local vineyard owners.
If you have time, could you help me ask him if he has any friends interested in investing with us?
No problem. I'll ask him to introduce some people to you.
Thank you, Jia Yang. You always take my matters to heart.
[French] Here is all I've studied in my essay about the cultural connotations
[French] of emotional words in Chinese and in French
[French] that are the ardor of cultural divergence of both countries.
[French] Ms. and Mr., I'm waiting for your critiques and observations.
Qiao Fei,
we unanimously agree that your thesis has a clear stand, and that the arguments are detailed and solid.
Most importantly, your spoken French when replying our questions is excellent.
It left us with a very deep impression.
Looking at your material, you are going towards applied languages.
Teacher, my aspiration is to be a female interpreter like Zhang Luo.
Zhang Luo? You have big dreams.
She is the principal interpreter in the foreign affairs community.
She represents the interpreters of our country, and in diplomatic exchanges.
She represents our country, and has made our interpreting community proud.
When you put it this way, it means that you want to join the Foreign Affairs Ministry as well?
I think that, entering the Foreign Affairs Ministry is every interpreting student's ultimate dream.
But at this point of time, what I want to achieve the most is to get into the Institute of Advanced Interpretation and become an interpreter.
Work hard then, Qiao Fei. I hope that your dreams will come true.

Xu Dong!
Hey!
I thought you said you were too busy, and weren't going to come.
It's our President Wang's 78th Wine Bar Grand Opening. How can I not come to congratulate?
Congrats!
Hasn't Wen Xiao Hua come back? Do you not want to stay by her side so you can take advantage of the situation now?
Am I that disloyal?
Fine. Let's not talk about girls today, we'll just talk about us bros.
- How's it? Not bad is it?- Not bad.
How many wine bar shares do you have? Are there still any wine bars that you don't have a share in?
Not many.
Your dear Wen Xiao Hua's Chang Yue doesn't have anything to do with me.
My bad, I mentioned her again.
It's alright. I'm here on her behalf, anyway.
Have you got any connections with vineyards in Switzerland?
Wen Dao Winery wants to produce some exquisite red wine.
Really? I have a very good bro, called Zhou Nan.
He wants to make red wine. He knows Switzerland's top wine supplier.
Wen Dao Winery... Then, I'd have one more business.
Yes. Yes. Yes.
You're an entrepreneur. You're not some rich kid who relies on his father's wealth and prestige.
You got me. Wait for me to ask him about it.
I'll contact Wen Xiao Hua and invite her to discuss it. You also have to come with us.
No. No. No. I won't be there. You can go.
Why? Are you afraid that they'll be unable to make sense of your relationship?
It doesn't matter. She always pesters your brother and you always pester her.
You're just a group of people, who are in a vicious cycle because you don't love yourselves.
What's wrong with you? If you keep talking like this, I'll leave.
Why are you still getting angry with me?
You, don't keep indulging in women and alcohol. If you're free, go exercise a little.
You're so thin, how can you be a boss?
My physique is better than yours!
Hello? Where are you? The interview starts in three minutes!
I know. I'm almost there. I'm almost there.
I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!
How come it's you again?!
Are you following me or something? Are you a pervert?
You–You don't stand in people's way.
Director Cheng, we're about to start.
Director Cheng? You are Director Cheng?
Yes, I'm Cheng Jia Yang.
What kind of an attitude is this to talk to Director Cheng?
You're one minute late.
Director Cheng! Director Cheng! My apologies. I shouldn't have blamed you that day.
Let me–Let me apologize to you.
Hurry and take a seat!
I'm sorry.
All of you have ten minutes to prepare. A piece of advice,
carefully read through the Institute of Advanced Interpretation's Code of Conduct.
I'll come back in a while to explain the code of conduct, and then we'll start the interview.
This is Director Cheng. Remember what he said... And prepare yourself well.
It's over. It's over. It's really all over!
He'll definitely give me a hard time, this devil.
He will definitely find some way to harass me.
I was late today. Code of Conduct, Code of Conduct... Let me read it.
Code of Conduct, Code of Conduct...
Be in time for work. Late...
You can't be more than three minutes late– Geez...
- Hey! What are you doing? That's really expensive!- I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Are you alright? I'm really sorry.
You're also an intern? You're rather pretty.
Don't you compete with me for Cheng Jia Yang. You see,
this is all the news I've collected about Chen Jia Yang, ever since high school.
We attended the same high school, but we're many years apart.
That's why, he doesn't recognize me. But now,
I finally got into the Institute of Advanced Interpretation.
Yang Mi and Chen Jia Yang,
destined to be together.
- They've met.- Hey, that–
Isn't he just a Cheng Jia Yang? Do you have to go that far?
Just a Cheng Jia Yang? Hey, don't you know how to use quantifiers?
How can you use a to discuss our Jia Yang?
Then if I don't use a, should I use jin? One jin of Cheng Jia Yang? (jin = 0.500g)
Alright, alright, don't be so loud. The teachers will hear.
If you want to quarrel, why don't you use French to quarrel?
- That way, if others hear, they might still think that you're discussing about translating.- One jin of Cheng Jia Yang...
And you still use jin?! Do you take our Jia Yang to be some vegetable?
Oh, yes. Our Jia Yang is a vegetable.[French] A big vegetable.
And he's a big shot, too?
I don't know any puns. But I think that at most, he's only a fat vegetable.
[French] Potato.
Are you calling him a potato? Are you calling him stupid?
I didn't say that. I wasn't the one who said it.
Director Cheng.
Director Cheng, she called you a [French] "potato".
Is that so? Are you interested in puns as well?
No, I just said it anyhow.
Take a seat.
Since we're on the topic of puns, let's start with them first.
Today is the first day we're meeting each other.
Everybody should relax. Let's talk like friends.
I will ask some questions. If anyone has thoughts, you can tell me.
[French] A good pear.
A pretty pear, and it also means a total fool.
Very good.
[French] He has an artichoke heart.
He has an artichoke heart. This means to be very unfaithful.
[French] My little cabbage.
My little cabbage. This means sweetheart.
Very good.
You're called Qin Bei Bei.
Yes, Director!
I am your big fan! I'm Yang Mi!
- What's Yang Mi?- It is Cheng Jia Yang's hardcore fan!
Look, this is a collection of all the news concerning you that I've made since high school.
Take a look at this. This is when you won the interpretation award three times in a row, and was presented the award by the French ambassador.
- See how big your smile is. So handsome!- I'm screwed. The bootlicker has allied herself with that devil.
And this picture, too.
You smell really fragrant.
Did you put on "Elegance," the limited edition?
How did you know? Director Cheng, do you use the same perfume?
Damn, I can't stand this anymore. Is this still an interview?
They're even talking about perfume. They share the same rotten taste.
I did the simultaneous translation for that perfume's product launch.
The top note is Buddha's hand, Indian cardamom, citrus, freesia
and lavender. The middle note is green tea, rose, orange blossom and violet. And the base note is—
The base note is amber and musk!
Very strong. Special.
Such a strong and unique perfume...
As an interpreter, how could you put that on?
You're strictly forbidden to put on any makeup with fragrances. It's clearly written in the code of conduct.
As an interpreter, you need to go to all sorts of places, and meet all sorts of people.
What if someone was allergic to perfume?
You will greatly affect the effectiveness of the translation!
Being an interpreter is bringing your brain with you, not bringing these kinds of makeup with you!
Director Cheng, I didn't know.
You didn't know?! Why didn't you read the code of conduct carefully?!
When you guys came to interview,
I'd already sent the softcopy via email to all of you.
And just now, I especially reminded you to read through it carefully!
As an interpreter, when you get information in advance, you need to prepare, prepare, and prepare!
You're not allowed to make any kind of mistake!
Insufficient preparation beforehand will directly lead to huge errors during the event itself.
Mistake. Mistake. Mistake. I made a mistake. Director Cheng, I know that I made a mistake. I know that I made a mistake.
Luckily, I'm hearing you say this during training, and not during a simultaneous interpretation job.
If it was during a simultaneous interpretation job, you'd be embarrassing the entire Institute of Advanced Interpretation.
I declare that Student Qin Bei Bei,
because you violated the Institute of Advanced Interpretation's Code of Conduct, you've been dismissed.
