Xu Nianhua was a bit surprised, completely unexpected that Chief Editor Jin would say that.
"Become our publishing house's full-time translator, your translation manuscript, the price per thousand characters will increase from fifteen hundred to seventeen hundred. Of course, if this book sells as expected, you could even earn a generous bonus!" Chief Editor Jin was showing great sincerity just to keep Xu Nianhua.
After Chief Editor Jin reviewed the book, she took it to the boss. In her view, once this translation is published, it will definitely be a huge success!
Translating classics isn't something everyone can do; just knowing English isn't enough. You must translate while conveying the original meaning, making sure it isn't too dull, or else readers won't stick with it.
But the classics translated by Xu Nianhua, whether in style or prose, are so well done that they are truly captivating.
