"Oh? Is that true?" Li Meijia smiled with a pursed lips.

"Deng Yanlin, you are still thinking about your ideals? Let's eat shit!" Ma Guodong saw that the beauty was about to be taken away by someone else, so he pushed Deng Yanlin hard in desperation.

Deng Yanlin was a little angry and turned around and slapped his shoulder: "Get out of here, I don't know you."

"Oh, who are you? Believe it or not, I'm going to beat you up and search for your teeth?"

"Come on, just try it!"

The rest of Long Ya and others couldn't help but cover their faces with their hands, just trying to pretend not to know these two idiots.

"You'd better sit down. It's not good to disturb others." Li Meijia said softly and stopped the two people like cockfighting, saying: "I'm not free at night. The content of your classmates' speeches gave me a lot of novel feelings. I will digest his knowledge well after I go back tonight."

"Okay..." Deng Yanlin and Ma Guodong stopped each of them and sat down awkwardly.

Song Baojun took a break for a while, and several guests in the front row were also exchanging opinions.

"That, Teacher Fang, did you arrange the students on the stage? I have to say that they performed very well. The exchanges between him and Professor Ferdinand collided with sparks of thought, which was destined to be a great academic seminar."

Fang Xiaoying gritted her teeth tightly, her cheeks raised her muscles high, and she held her anger for a while before she said, "I don't know him."

"That's the student's spontaneous behavior, it's very good, really good. I originally wanted to host a lecture by Professor Ferdinand, but I didn't expect that such a wonderful debate would benefit me a lot. By the way, what's the name of that boy?"

A teacher next to him rushed to respond: "Song Baojun from the Chinese Department and Jiang Yihui's student."

Fang Xiaoying's face turned pale and she didn't answer.

The guest obviously knew the grudge between Jiang Yihui and Fang Xiaoying, so he said, and no longer continued the topic.

Song Baojun looked at his watch, had enough rest, and gently fed the microphone, saying, "Let's start over."

Professor Ferdinand nodded and smiled, and the sound slowly stopped from the audience.

Song Baojun stood on the stage, holding his hands on the edge of the podium, and speaking with great enthusiasm: "The previous talk about the ability to create words. What is more powerful than alphabetical characters is that Chinese characters have the function of pronunciation on the basis of expression of meaning, which is phono-phono-character characters. More than 90% of modern Chinese are phono-character characters. The radicals and radicals combine with each other, one expression of the other, greatly enriching the creativity of Chinese characters."

"From the beginning of the character, we mentioned the creation of words. For example, flowers, jasmine, rose, locust flowers, orchids, plum blossoms, roses, and azaleas. As long as we master the core word "flower", and then based on jasmine, rose, orchid, plum, Chinese, you can create words with clear expressions and clear directions. Meat, pork, mutton, dog meat, horse meat, beef, etc. Since Chinese characters can be said to be the world's first word-making ability, we will know countless words after knowing a certain number of Chinese characters. Even if new words are produced, it is based on the old characters, and we can hope that the text will be derived and reach the level of understanding. On the contrary, English that has not yet evolved to the analytical stage is difficult to achieve this."

Some people began to take out their notebooks and write down what they said.

"There are 12,370 characters so far, including 3,000 commonly used characters. The static average information entropy of Chinese characters is 9.65 bits. According to the famous Chipf's law in mathematical linguistics, Chinese characters are the most informative text symbol system in the world today. Let's take a look at the information entropy of other alphabetical pinyin characters. French is 3.98 bits, Spanish is 4.01 bits, Russian is 4.35 bits, and English is 4.03 bits. The letters seem to be the same, but they are far lower than Chinese characters. This is one of the reasons why letters are not as good as Chinese characters."

Jiang Yihui seemed to be frightened by Song Baojun's extraordinary performance. She stared at the stage blankly and forgot that she called Song Baojun over. In fact, she just wanted to fight Fang Xiaoying.

As for the Otaku Brotherhood and others who were busy pleasing Li Meijia, how could they have the intention to applaud Song Baojun?

Everyone basically recognized a fact: following Brother Jun, there was a girl who was fucking.

If you say, "If you have sex with me, you will have meat to eat." I'm afraid others will throw you a saliva on your face. But if you say, "When you have sex with me, you will have girls." At least eight of the ten are willing, and the remaining two are gay people.

Most of Professor Ferdinand's limelight was stolen, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He stood by and smiled and nodded.

Song Baojun said: "The other advantage of Chinese characters over alphabetical characters is stability. Alphabetical characters are characters that aim to record language pronunciation, and letters themselves have no practical significance. Human language changes with the development of history, environmental changes, and ethnic integration and differentiation, and may become unrecognizable after several generations. The difference between ancient English and modern English is a good example. People who study modern English cannot understand English four or five hundred years ago, which means that alphabetical characters have changed a lot. Professor Fei, can you understand Bied's "History of the English Church"? Or "Beowulf"?"

Professor Ferdinand said: "I can understand it, but I need to use reference books."

The audience laughed again, obviously the English majors had a deep understanding.

Song Baojun said: "Chinese characters are ideographic characters. Once they are formed, their meaning is very difficult to change. For example, some characters, such as sun, moon, mountains, rivers, sky, earth, love, hate, love, hatred... Since its inception, the meaning has not changed. On the one hand, the stability of Chinese characters can be passed on over time and for a long time. On the other hand, it can cross space, connect with people in different regions, and speak different dialects. Although everyone has different languages, Chinese characters play the most basic role of communication."

Professor Ferdinand took the microphone and said, "Yes, you convinced me. I just thought of this. Any Chinese with a junior high school education can understand the Tang poetry from more than a thousand years ago, the Song poetry from a hundred years ago, and the Journey to the West more than five hundred years ago. This stability of Chinese is far greater than that of English. In terms of the advantages of communication, Chinese is incomparable."

There was warm applause from the audience. Fang Xiaoying's face was pale and could not speak for a long time. She turned her face to look at Jiang Yihui. She saw that the shameless woman was smugly calling to the stage: "Good words."

She suddenly felt annoyed at Professor Ferdinand: Our Foreign Languages ​​College asked you to tell the excellence of English and stimulate students' interest in learning, not to let you echo the little bastard's piano randomly! It's really outrageous!

What’s the point of holding this exchange seminar? Why don’t you just switch to the Chinese department to study!

Song Baojun could not see Fang Xiaoying's distorted expression at all, and continued: "There is another most important thing, the evolutionary ability of Chinese. I believe that every language has evolutionary ability, and English is still developing in the direction of analytical languages. But the evolutionary ability of Chinese is still the strongest, far exceeding the alphabet characters. For example, in Chinese characters, the calf is a calf, the horse is a foal, and the lamb is a lamb, and different characters of cattle, horse and sheep are created respectively. But we no longer create new characters, but create new words from existing characters, which is very easy to understand. Dogs are puppies, paparazzi, puppies, fish are small fish, and fry. This is an example of evolution."

"Chinese is still evolving. Whenever new things appear in society, Chinese will quickly and accurately create a corresponding new word, either give a new definition of old words, or borrow it from other languages ​​and cultures. For example, a large number of online words, such as blue-collar workers, netizens, antimatter, quarks, and snail residences, are new words created in recent years. For example, grassroots and yellow cows are old words and new words, representing multiple meanings..."

"I have to argue about which Chinese and English is better. I think this is a wrong topic. There are bad things in Chinese and there are advantages and advantages. We cannot kill them in one go. In the future, the process of globalization, multiple languages ​​will blend in with each other, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, achieve the goal of perfecting oneself, and contribute to the progress of all mankind. I hope that everyone here will learn English well in the future and do not forget Chinese. English is a tool for communication, but Chinese is the foundation of one's life. My speech is over, thank you."

Song Baojun said as he shook hands with Professor Ferdinand and walked downstairs. Everyone was about to applaud and bid farewell, but Ferdinand grabbed him and said, "Wait, Mr. Song!"

"how?"

"Please stand with me until the speech ends." Professor Ferdinand was very sincere. He wanted Song Baojun to enjoy the applause from the audience at that time. He thought Song Baojun was worth doing this. This wonderful and interesting speech was actually completed by the two of them.

Song Baojun understood Professor Ferdinand's intentions, and suddenly felt that this beard-bearded foreigner was actually quite open-minded. He was singing opposite to him throughout the whole process and refuting his views. Instead, he felt very enjoyable. This is exactly the attitude a scholar should have in academics.

The guests in the front row couldn't help but get up and clapped their hands, all impressed by their performance. Only Fang Xiaoying stayed in place, watching her colleagues standing up one by one, greeting the awesome student on the stage with applause. She felt that her heart seemed to be tightly held by a powerful palm, and she couldn't breathe for a while.

Ferdinand is a famous linguist at the University of Blinton and a big shot in the industry. He has a very extraordinary status. He edited the 2009 edition of the Great British English Dictionary. He has published more than a dozen papers and academic monographs. He has made outstanding contributions to the research and development of English and has caused great responses internationally.

Not to mention the distance, just take the courses taken by Fang Xiaoying. "Modern English Grammar and Literary Rhetoric" was written by Ferdinand.

For example, in the Chinese department, Jiang Yihui talked about "Pipa Xing", which was written by Bai Juyi. Imagine what is Bai Juyi and Bai Letian's position in the minds of literati?
