外賣小哥用英文發送餐短信走紅網絡

A food delivery courier in Sichuan recently became an internet sensation after it became known that he messages his customers in English.

最近四川一位外賣小哥因爲用英文給客戶發信息而成爲了網紅。

The courier, named Mao Shaomu, is just 18 years old. He came to Sichuan International Studies University (SISU) to be a courier at the beginning of March.

這名快遞員名叫毛召木，今年只有18歲。3月初，他來到四川外國語大學，成爲了一名外賣送貨員。

Mao told Chongqing Morning Post that the English messages he sends to customers are a way for him to practice English, since he expects that SISU students can all speak English.

毛召木向《重慶晨報》透露，給客戶發英文信息是他練習英語的一種方式，因爲他認爲四川外國語大學的學生都會講英語。

Mao struggled in science classes beginning in his middle school years, but he always excelled in English.

從中學開始，毛召木的理科成績就不好，但是他卻很擅長英語。

Inspired by his English teacher, who earned a university spot through independent study, Mao chose to formally drop out of high school. Ever since, entering SISU has become a target for the young man.

受自己英語老師的啓發（這名英語老師通過自學取得了大學學位），毛召木選擇正式退學。自那以後，進入四川外國語大學學習就成了這個年輕人的目標。

Each job Mao took after quitting high school was temporary because he always wanted to study English. Last September he took a part-time at a bar, hoping it would give him the chance to chat with foreigners.

高中退學之後，毛召木每一份工作都幹得不長，因爲他總是想學英語。去年九月他在一家酒吧兼職，希望可以有機會和外國人交談。

At the beginning of March, he quit his job again and became a food delivery courier at SISU, all the while preparing for the college entrance exam, which will be held in the second half of this year.

今年三月初，他再次辭掉了工作，然後到四川外國語大學當起了外賣小哥，同時又爲今年下半年舉行的高考做準備。

These days, midday is the busiest time for Mao, and he uses most afternoons to study English.

在這些日子裏，白天是毛召木最忙的時候，而他則利用大部分下午的時間來學習英語。

He said his preference is to major in English or international communications. In addition, he hopes to go to Beijing to earn a master's degree and become an interpreter.

他表示，自己傾向於主修英語或國際交流專業。此外，他還希望到北京去讀碩士，然後成爲一名翻譯。
