Два часа, потраченные на электро́нное письмо́, кото́рое не займёт и одной печа́тной страни́цы, не по́вод для го́рдости. Э́то, скорее, посла́ние о твое́й со́бственной неспосо́бности писать связно.
Spending two hours writing an email that won't even take up one page of a sheet of paper is not something you can write home about. It's more like you're writing about your own inability to write coherently.
За Тома я не беспоко́юсь. Я беспоко́юсь за Мэри.
I'm not worried about Tom. I'm worried about Mary.
Помните, что большинство́ люде́й больше интересу́ется разгово́ром о себе, чем о Вас.
Remember that most people are more interested in talking about themselves than about you.
За Тома я не беспоко́юсь. Я за тебя, Мэри, беспоко́юсь.
I'm not worried about Tom. I'm worried about you, Mary.
За тебя, Том, я не беспоко́юсь. Я беспоко́юсь за Мэри.
I'm not worried about you, Tom. I'm worried about Mary.
Смерть - э́то зачастую то, разгово́ры или даже мы́сли о чем приво́дят в уны́ние, но я осозна́л, что гото́вность умере́ть наделя́ет силой, как ничто другое. Мысль о сме́рти вно́сит я́сность в твою́ жизнь.
Death is something that we're often discouraged to talk about or even think about, but I've realized that preparing for death is one of the most empowering things you can do. Thinking about death clarifies your life.
Недавно в чате я был довольно ре́зким, раздража́ющим, эмоциона́льным и прочее. Мне жаль, и наверняка я заме́тно заде́л твои́ чу́вства. Я хоте́л бы за э́то извини́ться. Я понима́ю, что временами я быва́ю весьма зашоренным, и зна́ю, что вхожу́ в раж из-за бана́льных вещей и уж тем более в жа́рких те́мах.
Earlier in the chat, I was being rather brash, upsetting and emotional and whatnot. I am sorry, and I'm sure I hurt your feelings quite a bit. I would like to apologize for this. I understand that I can be rather close-minded at times, and I know that I get rather upset about trivial things and certainly about hot topics.
Мы все говори́ли о дне за́втрашнем, теперь дава́йте вернёмся на зе́млю и поговори́м о дне сего́дняшнем.
We have all been talking about tomorrow; now let's come down to earth and talk about today.
Я как раз собира́лся тебе об э́том рассказа́ть.
I was just about to tell you about that.
Я как раз собира́лся вам об э́том рассказа́ть.
I was just about to tell you about that.
Только потому, что лю́ди прихо́дят в э́тот мир в теле́сной оболо́чке не значит, что они понима́ют все свя́занное с ним, равно как и то, что уме́ршие не понима́ют всего о ми́ре ду́хов.
Just because people are corporeal born to this world doesn't mean that they understand everything about it, similarly just because somebody's died doesn't mean that they understand everything about the incorporeal world.
На эква́торе Земля́ враща́ется со ско́ростью около 2200 километров в час.
At the equator, the Earth is rotating at a speed of about about 2200 kilometers per hour.

Э́та фе́я могла́ принима́ть любо́е обли́чье, како́е только пожела́ет. Весь день лета́ла она в о́блике совы или кра́лась по земле́ ко́шкою, но но́чью всегда вновь станови́лась стару́хой.
This fairy could take any shape she pleased. All the day long she flew about in the form of an owl, or crept about the country like a cat; but at night she always became an old woman again.

Тревожась за здоро́вье матери, Алекс реши́л не сообща́ть ей о переме́нах: ведь что мо́жет стать более уби́йственным для убеждённой коммуни́стки, чем торжество́ капитали́зма?
Worried about his mother's health, Alex decided not to tell her about the changes: after all, what could be more deadly for a convinced communist than the triumph of capitalism?
Тревожась за здоро́вье матери, Алекс реши́л не сообща́ть ей о переме́нах. Сы́ну пришло́сь пойти́ на обма́н и преврати́ть свою́ кварти́ру в острово́к про́шлого, в после́дний опло́т несуществу́ющего госуда́рства. Старательно де́лать вид, что де́ло Ленина по-прежнему живёт и побежда́ет.
Worried about his mother's health, Alex decided not to let her know about the changes. The son was forced to resort to deception and turn his apartment into an island of the past, the last bastion of a nonexistent state. He made a painstaking show of pretending that Lenin's cause was still alive and triumphing.
Я поня́тия не име́ю, о чем я говорю́. Я просто гре́юсь на со́лнце иллю́зии. Э́та иллю́зия заключа́ется в убежде́нии, что я мог бы сказа́ть что-то ва́жное. На языке́, кото́рого я не понима́ю. На те́му, о кото́рой я ничего не зна́ю. Разве э́то не краси́вая иллю́зия?
I have no idea what I’m talking about. I’m simply basking in the sunshine of an illusion. This illusion consists in the conviction that I might be able to say something important. In a language I don’t understand. On a subject I know nothing about. Isn’t that a beautiful illusion?
Что явля́ется разли́чием между положи́тельным и отрица́тельным мышле́нием, так э́то то, на чём мы фокусируемся. Когда мы ду́маем о прекра́сном или о наших ша́нсах э́то прекрасное дости́чь, то наши мы́сли сосредотачиваются на чём-то хоро́шем, поле́зном и положи́тельном. Чем больше мы сосредоточены на позити́вных мы́слях, тем больше краси́вых вещей мы создаём вокруг себя.
The difference between positive and negative thinking lies in what we focus on. When we think about beautiful things or about our chances of achieving something wonderful, our thoughts focus on something good, useful, and positive. The more we focus on positive thoughts, the more beautiful things we create around us.

I'm not worried about Tom - I'm worried about Mary.

“In the near future, everything could end in a highly dramatic way - with the breakup of the country.” “Are you talking about Ukraine?” “No, I’m talking about Belgium.”
«А ты, Том? О чём ты сейчас ду́мал?» — «О самом драгоце́нном, что у меня есть в э́том ми́ре». — «И что же э́то?» — «Мой мерседес, конечно. Что же ещё?»
“What about you, Tom? What are you thinking about right now?” - “The most valuable thing I have in this world.” - “And what is that?” - “My Mercedes, of course. What else?”
Я беспоко́юсь о То́ме, как о со́бственном сы́не.
I worry about Tom as I would about my own son.
