Examples
И хотя ее больше нет с нами, я зна́ю, что моя́ ба́бушка наблюда́ет за мной, также как и моя́ семья́, кото́рая сде́лала меня тем, кто я есть. Мне не хвата́ет их в э́тот ве́чер. Я зна́ю, что мой долг пе́ред ними невозможно оплати́ть. Мое́й сестре́ Ма́йе, мое́й сестре́ Альме, всем остальны́м мои́м бра́тьям и сестрам, огро́мное вам спасибо за ту подде́ржку, кото́рую вы мне оказа́ли.
And while she's no longer with us, I know my grandmother's watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight. I know that my debt to them is beyond measure. To my sister Maya, my sister Alma, all my other brothers and sisters, thank you so much for all the support that you've given me. I'm grateful to them.
Я - Летающий Макаро́нный Монстр. Да не будет у тебя други́х мо́нстров передо Мною. (Потом - можно, только по́льзуйся предохрани́тельными сре́дствами.) Еди́нственный Монстр, заслуживающий написа́ния с большо́й бу́квы - э́то Я! Про́чие мо́нстры - фальшивые мо́нстры, не заслуживающие большо́й бу́квы.
I am the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Thou shalt have no other monsters before Me. (Afterwards is OK; just use protection.) The only Monster who deserves capitalization is Me! Other monsters are false monsters, undeserving of capitalization.
Не перебива́й, а послу́шай меня, пожалуйста.
Don't interrupt me but hear me out, please.
Счастли́вой маргари́ткой у доро́жки Взрасту и ля́гу на земну́ю твердь, И под её сере́бряною но́жкой Покорно обрету́ жела́нную мной смерть.
Nay, since you will not love, would I were growing A happy daisy, in the garden path That so your silver foot might press me going, Might press me going even unto death.
Учи́тельница указа́ла на меня па́льцем и попроси́ла идти́ за ней.
The teacher pointed her finger at me and asked me to go with her.
Но, по кра́йней ме́ре, позво́льте поблагодари́ть вас за ваши великоду́шные слова. Со мной давно никто так не говори́л.
But let me thank you for your generous words, at least. I have had none spoken to me in so long.
Прости́те, вы не могли́ бы подсказа́ть, где нахо́дится э́та у́лица?
Excuse me, could you tell me where I can find this street?
Да́йте мне чикен, пожалуйста! — "Чего?!" — "Чикен. Я хочу́ чикен! Вот э́тот чикен там да́йте". — "Нет, э́то ку́рица". — "Я не хочу́ ку́рицу. Я хочу́ чикен!"
Give me a kuritsa please! "What?" "Kuritza! I want a kuritsa! Give me this kuritsa." "No, this is a chicken." "I don't want a chicken. I want a kuritsa!"
Прости́те, Вы не подска́жете, как пройти́ к авто́бусной остано́вке?
Excuse me, but could you tell me the way to the bus stop?
Я уви́дел сего́дня твой про́филь на tatoeba.org и мне он нра́вится. Я бы хоте́л узна́ть о тебе больше, пожалуйста, отве́ть мне по e-mail и я отпра́влю тебе немного мои́х фотогра́фий.
I saw your profile today at tatoeba.org and I love it. I would like to know more about you, so please email me back and I will send you some pictures of me.
В тече́ние вечера я был опечален, так как я съел анчо́усы. Утром врач приободрил меня, почему же я должен грусти́ть? В конце́ концо́в, э́то я съел анчо́ус, а не анчо́ус съел меня.
During the evening I've been sad as I've eaten anchovy. In the morning the doctor cheered me up; why did I have to be sad? After all, it was I who ate the anchovy, and not the anchovy that ate me.
Учи́тельница показа́ла на меня па́льцем и попроси́ла пройти́ с ней.
The teacher pointed her finger at me and asked me to come with her.
Арти́кли в англи́йском кровь из но́су как важны. К приме́ру, если я попрошу́ своего́ англи́йского дру́га подержа́ть мой чемода́н, а потом попрошу́ его обратно, сказав "Give me bag", он, возможно, украдёт чемода́н рядом стоящего челове́ка, потому что не поймёт, како́й именно чемода́н име́лся в ви́ду.
The English articles are bread-and-butter important. For instance, if I ask my English friend to hold my bag for a while, and then ask to give it back by saying "Give me bag", he'll probably steal the bag of the man standing around because he didn't understand which bag was meant.
К моему́ удивле́нию, с моме́нта паде́ния Татоэбы никто не де́лал исправле́ний к мои́м предложе́ниям. Либо мой англи́йский резко улу́чшился, и я теперь пишу только правильные предложе́ния, что весьма сомнительно, или по́льзователи просто реши́ли отста́ть от меня и позво́лить мне писать всё, что прихо́дит в го́лову.
To my surprise, since Tatoeba has been back up, nobody has made any corrections to my sentences. Either my English has rapidly improved and I now produce good sentences only, which is way doubtful, or the users have simply decided to leave me alone and let me write whatever comes to my mind.
«Ваше Вели́чество, я стал невиди́мкой!» — «Ой! Куда ты де́лся?» — «Вот я, прямо тут!» — «Ой, блин, не пуга́й меня так!» — «Прошу́ проще́ния, Ваше Вели́чество». — «...Слу́шай, э́то наводи́т меня на мысль. Пойди́ напуга́й Моршу до сме́рти. Посмотри́, как он отреаги́рует».
Your Majesty, I have become invisible! "Oh! Where did you go?" "Right here!" "Oh shit, don't frighten me like that!" "My apologies, Your Majesty." "...Say, that gives me an idea. Go scare the hell out of Morshu. See how he reacts."
«Луиджи, смотри́! Э́то от Линка. Дай проче́сть: "Дороги́е вре́дные водопрово́дчики, на меня нападают зло́бные си́лы спаге́тти! Спаси́те меня!" Нам нужно спасти́ Линка!» — «Я преда́тель, а ты умрёшь!» — «Чёрт!»
Luigi, look! It's from Link. Let me read it: 'Dear pesky plumbers, I'm under attack by the evil forces of spaghetti! Save me!' We gotta save Link! "I'm the traitor, and you must die!" "Shit!"
«Как я уже говори́л, мой клие́нт подал на вас иск касательно оплаты рабо́ты и жи́зненных усло́вий». — «Угу». — «Вы до́лжны появи́ться в за́ле суда́ в Лос-Анджелесе не позднее–» — «Я по́нял. Да́йте мне переговори́ть с адвока́том». — «Ваше Вели́чество, у вас нет адвока́та!» — «Так найди́ мне его!» — «Нет». — «ЧТО?!» — «...Ладно».
As I was saying before, my client has filed suit against you concerning his payment and living conditions. "Uh-huh." "You are to appear in the Los Angeles Courthouse promptly at–" "I get it. Let me get my attorney." "Your Majesty, you have no attorney!" "Then get me one!" "No." "WHAT?!" "...Fine."
Одура́чь меня раз — я зол. Одура́чь меня дважды — как ты мог? Одура́чь меня трижды — ты точно как тот па́рень, да? Вы его зна́ете, э́того ти́па. Захо́дишь ты в бар, а он тако́й: «Э́тот костю́м, э, значит, реа́льный Джорджо Армани, вообще мой папа́ша с ним знаком». Пошёл ты! Хрен ли я на э́то куплюсь!
Fool me once, I'm mad. Fool me twice, how could you? Fool me three times, you're officially that guy, okay? You know him, you know the one. You go to the bar and he's like, "This suit is like, uh, officially it's a Giorgio Armani, actually my dad knows him." Fuck you! I ain't havin' that shit!
Не бо́йтесь меня. Я поба́иваюсь мно́гих, ко́му зави́дую, кто пуга́ет меня, а с кем просто неловко разгова́ривать. Я не хочу́, чтобы кто-то аналогично так же боя́лся меня — за своё вре́мя на э́тих са́йтах я не раз ста́лкивалась с те́ми, кто боя́лся меня лично или в о́бщей гру́ппе. Рассе́ем же наши взаи́мные стра́хи.
Do not fear me. I am afraid of many whom I find enviable, intimidating, or simply awkward to talk to. I don't want anyone to similarly fear me in any of those ways—over my time on these sites, I've encountered some people who were afraid of me, specifically or non-specifically. Let us dispel our mutual fears.
Пользуясь случаем, я повторя́ю публично, что бы́ло уже много раз лично сказано и написано: я прошу́ всех эсперантистов в их пи́сьмах ко мне или в разгово́рах со мной никогда не употребля́ть неприя́тное мне сло́во "ма́стер", а всегда обраща́ться ко мне просто "господи́н".
Taking this opportunity, I repeat publicly what I have already said and written many times in private: I earnestly ask all Esperantists never to use the word “Master,” which I find unpleasant, in their letters to me or in conversation with me, but always simply to address me as “Sir.”
