Robin-the-Bobbin

Robin-the-Bobbin,

the big-bellied Ben,

He ate more meat

than fourscore men;

He ate a cow,

he ate a calf,

He ate a butcher

and a half,

He ate a church,

he ate a steeple,

He ate a priest

and all the people!

A cow and a calf,

An ox and a half,

A church and a steeple,

And all the good people,

And yet he complained

that his stomach wasn't full.

big-bellied — с большим брюхом

fourscore [fɔːˈskɔː] — устарев. восемьдесят

calf [kɑːf] — телёнок

butcher ['bʊtʃə] — мясник

priest [priːst] — священник

ox — бык

complained [kəm'pleind] — жаловался

Робин-Бобин

Робин-Бобин

Кое-как

Подкрепился

Натощак:

Съел телёнка

Утром рано,

Двух овечек

И барана,

Съел корову

Целиком и прилавок

С мясником,

Сотню жаворонков в тесте

И коня с телегой вместе,

Пять церквей и колоколен —

Да ещё и недоволен!

Перевод С. Маршака

Барабек

Робин-Бобин Барабек

Скушал сорок человек,

И корову, и быка,

И кривого мясника.

И телегу, и дугу,

И метлу, и кочергу.

Скушал церковь,

Скушал дом

И кузницу с кузнецом,

А потом и говорит:

«У меня живот болит».

Перевод К. Чуковского

36 Послушайте, прочитайте и выучите забавное стихотворение. Какой из переводов точнее?

Ответ:

I think Konstantin Chukovsky's translation, "Барабек," is more accurate. While both translations take poetic liberties, Chukovsky's version more directly translates the key elements of Robin-the-Bobbin eating a butcher and a large number of people. For example, Chukovsky directly mentions eating "сорок человек" (forty people) and "кривого мясника" (a crooked butcher), which better reflects the original's "He ate a butcher and a half" and "He ate a priest and all the people!" In contrast, Marshak's translation misses the explicit mention of eating people and changes the act of eating the butcher to eating "with the butcher" ("С мясником"), which is less accurate to the original's direct consumption.

Я думаю, перевод Константина Чуковского, «Барабек», точнее. Хотя оба перевода используют поэтическую вольность, версия Чуковского более прямо переводит ключевые элементы того, как Робин-Бобин съедает мясника и большое количество людей. Например, Чуковский прямо упоминает поедание «сорока человек» и «кривого мясника», что лучше отражает оригинальное «He ate a butcher and a half» (Он съел мясника с половиной) и «He ate a priest and all the people!» (Он съел священника и всех людей!). В отличие от этого, перевод Маршака упускает явное упоминание о поедании людей и изменяет действие поедания мясника на поедание «с мясником» («С мясником»), что менее точно соответствует прямому потреблению в оригинале.

36 You are going to read about vitamins. Before you read, mark the statements true (T) or false (F). Then read the text and check your answers.

1. Vitamins make people healthy.

2. We get vitamins doing sports.

3. People don't need vitamin C.

4. If you want to be healthy, you should eat less fruit and vegetables.

5. There are about ten vitamins extremely necessary for people.

People need vitamins to stay healthy. "Vita" means life in Latin. People get vitamins from the food they eat. There are a lot of vitamins in fruit and vegetables. But you can hardly find any useful vitamins in Coke, chips and other fast food. Each vitamin is responsible for different things in the human body. There are about ten major vitamins. They are usually named by a letter of the alphabet (A, B, C, D, etc).

• Vitamin A is in green and yellow vegetables, milk and eggs. It's necessary for seeing in the dark.

• Vitamin B₁ is in meat, porridge and bread. B₁ is responsible for the nervous system. Lack of this vitamin leads to serious illnesses and even death.

• Vitamin C is in every fruit and vegetable. You can find this vitamin in black currants, strawberries, oranges and grapefruits, onions, cabbages and green peppers. Vitamin C is important for building bones and teeth. It helps to prevent colds.

• Vitamin D is in eggs. People can also get it from sunlight. It makes our bones strong.

• Vitamin E is necessary for skin and body. It's in the wheat and nuts.

• Vitamins B₆ and K are necessary for human blood. You can find B₆ in beans and milk; K – in potatoes, tomatoes and carrots. Vitamins make people healthy, optimistic and strong.

Remember:

I eat to live, but I don't live to eat. Choose healthy food.
