Chapter 170: Slapping Fan Wenyuan In The Face
Qiao Xi slowly walked up the stage, and a poem appeared on the screen.
Fan Wenyuan had translated the first stanza, while she translated the second.
The first stanza was simpler and easier to understand. The second stanza was unpopular and difficult to translate beautifully.
Based on the question alone, it was difficult for her to turn the tables unless she was much more capable than Fan Wenyuan.
Qiao Xi closed her eyes and thought for a moment. Then, she opened her eyes and looked at the poem with a calm expression.
Fan Wenyuan looked at Qiao Xi with a face full of ridicule.
Her supporters were surprised. “She’s already prepared to answer after thinking for a while. It looks like she’s giving up!”
Disappointment was written all over Fan Wenyuan’s face. He curled his lips and said, “She’s too arrogant. Not only does she refuse to admit to having cheated, she even wants to challenge me. She’s too vain!”
The supporters sighed. “She’s still so young, yet she’s courting death!”
As soon as they finished speaking, Qiao Xi’s cold voice slowly sounded out. The words that were originally so complicated and difficult to understand turned into beautiful poetry with her translation, making people intoxicated.
Qiao Xi’s translation was outstanding to begin with, and her voice made it even more beautiful. Everyone was instantly shocked.
After she read out her translation, the entire venue fell silent before thunderous applause sounded out.
Many contestants below the stage said in disbelief, “Qiao Xi is too strong! I’ve never heard Qiao Rou talk about her sister. I didn’t expect her to be so powerful!”
“There is indeed a reason why Qiao Xi dares to challenge Mr. Fan. I even think that she’s much better at translating than Mr. Fan.”
With the first person praising Qiao Xi, everyone shared the same thoughts from an objective point of view.
“Yeah, I thought I was the only one who thought so but it seems that everyone else thinks that way too. Qiao Xi’s choice of words is more accurate, and her translation is more elegant. It’s obvious she’s better than Mr. Fan. I’m fascinated by her.”
“That’s right! Someone said that no one could translate the essence of this poem, but Qiao Xi was able to accurately find those words. It makes me feel like the translation doesn’t lose out to the original.”
Qiao Rou’s face darkened as she roared in her heart.
This was impossible!
Qiao Xi had lived in the countryside since she was young, so how could she know how to translate?
Below the stage, Fan Wenyuan’s eyes were vicious and his face was pale.
The surrounding people were all immersed in the poetry that Qiao Xi translated. To him, it was simply a great humiliation!
“I can’t believe I looked down on Qiao Xi just now. I didn’t expect her to be a genius in the translation world. Even if she’s arrogant, it’s only natural!”
“The translation is beautiful and logical. It’s simply too awesome!”
At this moment, the judges had already given their scores and handed the results to the host.
The host slowly walked up to the stage and calmly said, “The judges gave Mr. Fan Wenyuan a high score of 7.9!”
The audience was silent. After hearing Qiao Xi’s translation, Fan Wenyuan’s work seemed dull.
7.9 was already a rare high score for ordinary people, but at this moment, they were paying more attention to Qiao Xi’s score.
Next, the host announced loudly, “Next, let me announce Qiao Xi’s score. The judges have unanimously given 10 points. Congratulations, Miss Qiao Xi!”
Fan Wenyuan’s body trembled violently.
It was a perfect score! Qiao Xi had obtained another perfect score!
Impossible!
Impossible!
She was only in her 20s, and it was said that she had never learned English. How did she get full marks?
He had been in the translation industry for so many years and the judges all knew him. Why would he lose to an unknown woman?
The host invited Qiao Xi on stage, and the judges started to praise Qiao Xi’s translation.
The judge’s words kept entering Fan Wenyuan’s ears, causing him to suffer a huge blow. His head was heavy and his eyes were filled with fear.
Everyone discussed animatedly. “Since Qiao Xi was able to obtain such a score in the translation competition, it means that she didn’t cheat during the English test.”
“Don’t all of you know Fan Wenyuan? He can’t stand others being stronger than him and doesn’t allow a genius like Qiao Xi to surpass him, so he framed Qiao Xi for cheating…”
“Look at how things turned out now. His translation skills are on a completely different level from Qiao Xi’s!”
Listening to the sarcasm around him, Fan Wenyuan wished he could find a hole to hide in.
Everyone said that he was selfish and had wrongly accused Qiao Xi, this genius.
Originally, his plan was to ruin Qiao Xi’s reputation, yet it was the other way around now.
Qiao Xi had definitely cheated again. He had to stand up and expose her. Otherwise, he would be unable to establish himself in the translation world in the future.
At this moment, one of the judges was full of praise. “Qiao Xi, are you interested in joining the International Translation Organization? I’ll recommend—”
“No! What right does she have to join the translation organization?! She must have gotten the question beforehand!”
The angry voice interrupted the judges. Everyone turned around and saw Fan Wenyuan charging toward them with a furious expression.
