Subject: Sorry, I'm new. Can I fix an incorrect translation? gen. Under проявить, under the examples, under "Bookish", проявить серьезную озабоченность is translated as "lay to heart." We would never say this in English. We could say "to take to heart," but the better translation in this case might be "to take very seriously."I apologize. I searched the site, and I could not find an explanation of how to deal with this. I am sure that I missed something. I don't want people to have an incorrect translation. |

You do not have enough permissions to edit dictionary entries. What you can do is leave feedback for this entry by clicking Сообщить об ошибке (Report an error). The user who added this entry is often criticized by the community, so, most likely, you are right. I've got permissions to edit other users' entries (or delete them), but I'm not very good with English, so I'm not 100 percent sure. There are some moderators around with near native level of English, so let's leave it to them. Cheers! |
There's nothing incorrect about this translation per se, as the expression is simply dated. It is very closely related to 'take to heart' and has largely been replaced by it. Please see this Ngram (sorry, having trouble with the href tag right now): I will recategorize the entry as archaic. |
On the other hand, I get no hits for "проявить серьезную озабоченность". If another moderator has deleted that entry based on this error report, it is a most unfortunate turn of events. |
"проявить серьезную озабоченность" непременно должно быть в основном словнике. это же практически мем! причем оно имеет разную окраску - от посконно-суконной, до стёбной - в зависимости от макроконтекста. разбазаривание! |
SirReal, how very strange! Сразу после прочтения поста pchingiz проверял, было. А теперь нет. Действительно, удалил кто-то. |
Это возмутительно. |
