Доброго дня! Мене звуть Ольга. я хочу навести один приклад з мого перекладу. Перекладала я книжку "Двадцять шагов" з російської на англійську. step 1 Know yourself! While I was developing the concept of the book and then writing it, I turned fifty-seven years old. And I was completely surprised that I feel joy about my birthday. Until that moment, I was very skeptical about this ritual, I considered it “children's fun”, a holiday appropriate only for babies. For them, I said, fun in honor of another lived year is justified. This is a kind of compensation for the entire future period of growing up with its responsibilities, duties and obligations. Well, at our age, I continued, there is no reason for celebration. It seemed to me that it was impossible to expect something good from a birthday: another year has passed, we have come one step closer to old age... Such thoughts make us forget the true reason for the holiday. But on the day of birth, the anniversary of our birth is celebrated: no more, but no less. And in various languages of the world (English, French, Catalan, Hebrew, Russian, Chinese and others), this day is literally called - BIRTHDAY - DAY. Even etymology does not want to spoil our holiday, but seeks to cheer us up. At fifty-seven, I suddenly realized that • if you understand that you want to live, and this thought gives you joy; • if you feel that there are still many things ahead that you want to do; • if you are more than just "from time to time" you wake up well in the morning... In this case, your sincere desire for a holiday returns to you, and on your birthday you will be happy to share with those around you the joy of another passing year. If this boundary is crossed, it will not be difficult adhere to one tradition that I advise install for all your patients: on your birthday, give yourself a gift that you would like to receive from a close and reliable friend. One observation led me to this idea: pain Most of us are always inventing and looking for special birthday gifts for loved ones, but almost never do that to themselves. Back to my memorable birthday. • Perhaps because of the realization that life has been successful in all respects... • Probably from the certainty that I myself chose my life path ... • Perhaps from the joy that at my age I am busy with this book New Project 1 ... Exactly from the fact that I can be proud of two adult bad kids...
