Chapter 8 You and You(2/2)

Mathilde frowned when he heard this comment: "Thank you for your frankness. Do you want to hear my opinion on a professional player like you?" She wanted to take revenge.

"Look at me with your ears."

"Professional players are representatives of lack of quality. They can play with girls because they have money. They go to nightclubs every night, drink and fight and drive. Almost all negative social news can always see professional players." Mathilde said in a very serious tone.

"Wow!" Chu Zhongtian was startled and raised his hand, "I have never played with girls, and I have no money. Moreover, I have been in Mets for three months, and I don't even know where Mets' nightclub is. Although I drink, I don't drink too much. To be honest, I have never been drunk since I left the UK. And I still don't have a driver's license and can't afford a car..."

Seeing Chu Zhongtian's hurriedly defending himself, Mathilde finally couldn't hold back his face and she burst into laughter.

The silver bell-like laughter sounded in the narrow living room. The corners of the mouth that was usually drooping up high. The eyes that were blocked by the lenses were curved like crescent moons outside the window.

Chu Zhongtian was a little dazzled. This was the first time he discovered that this girl who was not good-looking also had a good-looking side.

Mathilde found Chu Zhongtian looking at her insanity, and she asked in confusion: "Is there anything on my face?"

"Uh... You're actually pretty good-looking. I mean when you laugh, but you laugh less..."

After hearing Chu Zhongtian say this, Mathilde raised his face again: "Let's go to class now."

“Isn’t it time to go to class today?”

"That's because you were always distracted and in a bad mood. Now you're fine." Mathilde returned to his previous appearance, opened the book, and prepared to attend class.

"Okay, but I have a question, teacher. Why did you still call me after we have been in contact for three months?" Since we started chatting today, Chu Zhongtian simply asked the question that has always existed in his heart. I don't know if there is such an opportunity next time.

In the first class, Mathilde explained the difference between the second person in French like Chu Zhongtian. The difference between "you" and "vous" is a headache for beginners, which is far more complicated than the "you" distinction in Chinese. Generally speaking, for unfamiliar people and bosses who must respect, elders must use "you". Mathilde asked Chu Zhongtian to use "you" to his coach. Chu Zhongtian learned from one example and even teacher Mathilde called "you". "You" is a matter of night.

People, animals may use it to show affection and contempt. For example, police use "you" to thieves, while thieves respectfully call them "you" to police. But in fact, in French society, you will find that the change of name is not that simple. The distinction between "you" is not a pure grammatical problem, but also an important and subtle social code and symbol. The transition from "you" to "you" to "you" means that you have entered their circle and internal world and become a symbol of "acceptance".

"We have known each other for three months. Are we not acquaintances yet?" Chu Zhongtian couldn't figure out this problem. Could it be that there are any other taboos that he didn't know about the use of this person?

Mathilde was a little embarrassed and pushed the frame.

"We... are just the relationship between teachers and students, so we naturally have to use 'you'."

"Aren't you a friend?" Chu Zhongtian asked.

"Not yet..." Mathilde shook his head.

"Uh, I just lost a friend and thought I could gain a new friend." Chu Zhongtian felt a little regretful, and he lowered his head and opened the book, preparing to study.

This time it was Mathilde's turn to be distracted.

She looked at Chu Zhongtian who lowered her head, and her disgust for professional players seemed to be a little shaken.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Chu Zhongtian lowered his head and saw no movement for a long time, so he looked up and asked.

"Nothing, let's start." Mathilde shook his head and threw the distracting thoughts aside.
