Subject: Does this sound English to you? Dear colleagues,I have a freelance translation provider who has argued that the following expressions are perfectly correct in English, which I seriously doubt: 1. In given regard we resolved to conduct meeting . . .(origirnal: в связи с этим мы решили созвать собрание ...) 2. With present we would request you to send ...(original: настоящим просим прислать ...) Please comment. I really appreciate your time. |
| No, neither of these is good English. |

Tuscaloosa, носитель какого Вы языка? Тот же вопрос относительно упомянутого фрилансера. А в качестве разрядки - подобный перевод с другой стороны границы: |

Thank you very much. Thanks for Casablanca "classics." My favourite. As you may have guessed, I am not native in either English or Russian, neither is the freelancer (it's a translation company, actually. The entire company stands behind these "Engrish "phrases!). I am native in one of the non-Indo-European languages I do not want to mention, but that's not the point. Thanks again indeed. |

Alexander, here's the original dialogue from the Casablanca film: "Mr. Leuchtag: Come sit down. Have a brandy with us. Mrs. Leuchtag: To celebrate our leaving for America tomorrow. Carl: Oh, thank you very much. I thought you would ask me, so I brought the good brandy. And - a third glass! Mrs. Leuchtag: At last the day is came! Mr. Leuchtag: Mareichtag and I are speaking nothing but English now. Mrs. Leuchtag: So we should feel at home when we get to America. Carl: Very nice idea, mm-hmm. Mr. Leuchtag: [toasting] To America! Mrs. Leuchtag: To America! Carl: To America! Mr. Leuchtag: Liebchen - sweetness, what watch? Mrs. Leuchtag: Ten watch. Mr. Leuchtag: Such much? Carl: Hm. You will get along beautiful in America, mm-hmm." |
| Пардоньте за поднятие старой темы. Захотелось приобщить народ к классике! :) |

| нет, это не прощается |
|
в связи с этим мы решили созвать собрание - with regard to this we desided to call a meeting настоящим просим прислать -herewith we kindly ask you to send |
| опечатка |
| да ответ не нужен никому уже два года как. |
| Кто-нибудь будет подобное искать по форуму, может, поможет. |
| Глагол "desided" таких искателей лишь запутает. |

Раз сегодня день "подъема" старых веток, поинтересуюсь в стиле автора: Does this sound Russian to you? -- >>Miss Martyshka Моя тема - строительство космических летательных аппаратов, я работала для Thales Alenia Space.>> |
