Vopros tot zhe

[Inna60]

Dear tranlsators!
does anyone know the translation made by A Shaw "The Woes of Wit"? I really would like to have his version of "Sluzhit by rad, prisluzhivat toshno"
Premnogo blagodarna.

Все предельно просто: Надо залезть в Гугл, ввести в стороку поиска название пьесы на англ., найти ее полный перевод на англ (если таковой существует), найти место, где Чацкий это произносит, с наслаждением скопировать, сказать себе "ай да я, ай да молодец!" и поделиться своей победой с коллегами по мультитрановскому форуму :-))

Thank you very much, dear people!
You are just wonderful!
