Chapter 89 Bella Is Studying

Bella's current memory, reading ability, and comprehension level are basically at the level of a general genius. Like Superman, she has no ability to fully understand a book after reading it in three seconds. In a horizontal comparison, she and the future are strange. Doctors are almost the same, with a little ability to remember, but they also need to read books carefully and gradually turn the knowledge in the book into their own knowledge.

If it was just to graduate with credits, Bella could handle it, but her purpose was not so simple. In addition to her normal schoolwork, she also needed to do a lot of extracurricular reading.

Ancient History, Medieval European History, Jewish History, all of which are leading fields at Stanford and the focus of her studies.

There are many libraries in the school. She often goes to the Green Library, which is the main library of Stanford, and has a large collection of books. The Mel Library has a lot of content on East Asia, which is not within the scope of her research for the time being. , the rest of the Jackson Business Library, the Caboli Education Library, and the Brenner Earth Science Library are also places she frequents.

......

"When we are learning Hebrew today, we will find a question, why do we use the title Hebrew? Which classmate can answer this question?" asked the elegant middle-aged professor.

He glanced at the students raising their hands in the classroom, and said with satisfaction, "Miss Swan."

"The word Hebrew comes from the Hebrew word ever, which means someone on the other side. This should refer to the fact that Abraham, the ancestor of the ancient Hebrews, entered Canaan from the other side of the Euphrates. The perspective of the word is From the perspective of a foreigner, he believes that a group of people came from the other side to the land under their feet, so they named each other Hebrew."

The middle-aged professor nodded with a smile: "The answer is very comprehensive, and it is difficult for me to give a more accurate explanation. That's right, the Hebrew we speak today is the name given to Israelis by other nations, and their self-proclaimed name has always been Israel, has never changed..."

The classroom order is very good, even students who come to mix credits will pay attention to the lectures. In the United States, the teaching level of university professors is generally high, while the level of high school teachers is basically low. There is a very clear dividing line. After entering the university, the whole world will feel completely different!

Bella studies very seriously and has a foundation. She spends her spare time in the library, and she can basically answer the questions in class.

When the professor asks a question, she will answer it. Not to mention a wave of goodwill, the professor's praise is also sincere, adding up to a lot. This is also a way to enhance spiritual power...

Hebrew history, or the history of Israel is the focus of her current study, no way, this is an important part of modern magic, God, angels and demons, these simply cannot be avoided.

She could see traces of magic in a random allusion from the Old Testament.

The gods are very high-level mages. This view is not only owned by Bella. From ancient times to the present, a lot of mages have similar views. This does not mean that they are arrogant and ignorant, but after a lot of learning, the idea came naturally.

In her opinion, those allusions related to fire are fire spells, and those related to light are light spells. Those miracles that make enemies terrified and inspire themselves are all spell effects without exception.

Bella also felt the power of language. She had to learn many languages ​​in order to grasp the unique meanings of them. It is useless to read translations alone.

For example, the example of Hebrew and Israel told by the professor. In the eyes of Israelis, they have never recognized the name Hebrew. If they don't learn their language, they may go in the opposite direction and get confused when they learn it. understand the real meaning.

In this process, it is necessary to learn a lot of historical knowledge in order to understand why these appellations were formed.

Allusions, language and history, the three are interrelated.

If you don't have enough historical knowledge, just learning the language will only make you more confused.

For example, a familiar word, America!

Many oriental children know this word when they form words and sentences in kindergarten. The teacher asks the children to use beauty to form words. What is beauty? Children will say in a tender voice, "Beautiful, beautiful, America!"

Since they were young, they had a concept that there is a particularly beautiful country in this world, just like heaven, that place is called the United States! Even if they grow up and understand the reality of "Free America, Shooting Every Day", they still have a point or two in their hearts towards that so-called particularly beautiful country.

If you just learn the language, you will have doubts, this word is obviously American, why not translate it into American? Why not call it Asia?

The A at the beginning is indeed not read by many people in everyday language, but it cannot be assumed that it does not exist. And why is it "America", there are so many black people, why isn't it translated as "fried in coal"?

The United States in Japanese is the United States. There is no question of whether it is beautiful or not. Most of them still want to swallow the United States like rice.

After learning about the history of the East, you will suddenly realize that it is for the sake of honesty and elegance! Similar translations include English, French, and German, all of which are positive.

There will be too many ambiguities in the names of countries and the collision between different cultures. If you don't understand history, you will be blind and touch the elephant, and you will not be able to see the truth behind the scenes.

Magic needs to be studied, language needs to be mastered, and history needs to be learned. In just two months, she has been studying all kinds of knowledge frantically, and she seems very busy. In order not to be regarded as a nerd, she also signed up for Stanford's fencing club and swimming club. and drama club.

After the final exam, the fencing club held a competition, and Bella passed all the way. Only in the finals did she meet a slightly decent opponent.

Barbara Moores, a slender girl with a height of 175, blond hair and cape.

The opponent's talent is good, but just like Natasha, she is only a beginner now, both in terms of experience and physical fitness, and she is not Bella's opponent at all.

The whole process basically belongs to Bella's swordsmanship performance.

After the game, Barbara's mentality collapsed a bit. She sat on the side with a gloomy face and was sulking. From time to time, men would come to her side to show her hospitality. She was also a beautiful woman and naturally had a lot of suitors. One of them was tall and black-haired. The man caught Bella's attention.

If you read it correctly, this is John Winchester's second son, Dean Winchester's younger brother, Sam Winchester, a human with demon blood.

Bella just didn't expect that this one seemed to be in the same class as her.
