it doesn’t make any sense

I wonder what makes people keep on translating something that doesn’t make sense? Надежда на то, что бессмыслица вдруг чудесным образом превратится в свою противоположность.)

This is some kind of fan fiction that he’s been reading for weeks. It reads like it was written by a third-grader who’s still learning English 😢

Надежда на то, что Волшебник Изумрудного города Улий подарит правильную версию с переводом (а кому-то, быть может, и мозг🧠)…

Не виноват. Не я автор текста, все притезии не ко мне

Но, вероятно всего без контекста никак не перевести недо-английский. Я знаю примерный перевод.

А вот даже Волшебник Изумрудного города Улий не может просто штамповать правильные версии такой бессмысленной чуши, не говоря уже о переводе. Но то, что я могу делать, это реккомендовать хорошие книги и статьи, с помощью которых можно на самом деле расширять свои знания английского языка 😉

А вот хорошую книгу про перевод кое-кто зажал!

Uly, any book recommendation(s) for a 15 year old girl? (she's native)

What does she like to read? Is it your daughter?

Yes, it's my daughter. She's read hundreds of books. Of coz she like Harry Potter, Twilights, The Land of Stories series, etc. Now she's growing and I thought she could read something more serious but still suitable for teens. A book that has good language.

All the above was before she turned 15. Now she is reading stuff like a murder mystery, she likes that detective/investigation thing.

If she likes that genre, she should read Agatha Christie, the Nancy Drew series, and the Hardy Boys series. Also, I’m not a gamer, but I REALLY enjoyed Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. It’s written for young adults, but I loved it. Then it was made into a movie, which was a real treat after reading the book)))

Detective stories have never been something serious.)

Serious - Polinka Saks by Aleksandr Druzhinin. It's Romantic Russian prose.
Or An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser and so on.

Thanks. She's read Nancy Drew series but not Hardy Boys. Will ask her to read. As for the "Ready Player One" movie, one of my friends has already recommended it to me but I never found time to watch it. Now, when you also said it's good, I gotta watch it ))

Zoya, people read what they enjoy reading. If you give ME those two books you mentioned, give me a knife too, so I can slash my wrists.

Russ, yes, the movie’s really good, but the book is better — have her read the book before seeing the movie.

Uly, did you read them already?

And the An American Tragedy is so interesting!)
Невозможно оторваться - не знаю как сказать на английском))

And a plot of Polinka Saks is very unexpected! Despite that it happened in19th century))

No, I don’t read romances))

Невозможно оторваться - you can’t put it down

Так что же ты так категоричен, если даже не читал? Американскую трагедию тоже не читал?))

Я считаю это произведение одним из самых лучших в мировой литературе. And I was reading this novel about at the same age.

I think is the jеm of world literature.

Of course I dream to read it in the original language))
