How to translate? (ru-en)

Готовьтесь к тому, что у Вас пополамщик чистой воды и каждую копейку на детей будет зажимать, раз Вы вышли на работу.

Author’s comment

Embrace the fact that he’s/yours(?) is a fifty-fifty guy who couldn’t see spending a pence on your children, especially now that you started working.

    Gird your loins, honey. Now that you've gone back to work, your tightwad husband is going to want to go halfsies on everything when it comes to the kids and isn't going to want to fork over one extra cent for them.

    You need to come to grips with the fact that your husband is a (f***ing) tightwad (who’s treating you like a roommate instead of a coparent) and wants to go 50/50 on the kids because he sees no point in squeezing out one extra (red) cent for them now that you’ve gone back to work.

Embrace the fact that he’s a fifty-fifty guy, a *downright* scrooge who couldn’t see spending a penny on your children, especially now that you started working.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment a year ago

Not bad, but here are some comments:

⦿ EMBRACE means accept and start to like/enjoy something. Here, I don’t see why the woman should have to ever enjoy a cheapskate husband even if she accepts his cheapness.
⦿ SCROOGE in American English is just someone who’s grumpy and especially one who ruins holidays and celebrations with their grumpiness. I’ve never heard anyone use it in the sense of a tightwad stateside.
⦿ Instead of COULDN’T SEE (which sounds like a past form), I’d use DOESN’T SEE THE POINT IN -ing.
⦿ better: Now that YOU’VE started working. The present perfect expresses a change in a situation; a new eventuality.

Немыслимо крутой перевод😲🤩🤪🫥🤙

И отдельное гранд мерси за комментарий, Ули🙏

When we issue warnings to women about some unpleasantness that may befall them in the future, we use HONEY colloquially. It makes it sound like friendly advice from someone who knows better (or at least THINKS they do). With men, we use BUDDY in this context. It has a tone of "don't say I didn't warn you".

Я не сразу понял, что такое "пополамщик чистой воды"))

Татьяна, это что за выражение, типа, "не мог видеть, как"?

Ваша правда, Валерий, но это не отменяет моих эмоций, когда я вижу такие переводы😉

>Татьяна, это что за выражение, типа, "не мог видеть, как"?

Опять же Uly однажды перевёл один вопрос так:

I couldn't see paying the 10 euro cover/spending 10 euros to get in. Думаю, обратный перевод не нужен😉

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment a year ago

Я просто не обратила внимание, что форма couldn’t к моему примеру не подходит.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment a year ago

Aндриолли, когда я заметила, что у меня запятой не хватает в слоносочинённом(!) предложении, я первым делом подумала, вот придёт Андриолли, и мне на вид поставит:)

Uly, спасибо большое и за второй шикарный перевод! Тогда просто у меня приложение сильно глючило🤩🙏

👌Мы в этой ситуации можем использовать «дорогой (мой)/дорогая (моя)».

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment a year ago
+ еще "дорогуша" )

«Дорогуша» - это же когда сарказм.

Валерий ㅤadded a comment a year ago

А "дорогая моя" -- не сарказм?))

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment a year ago

«Дорогая моя» - это может быть и сарказм, и не сарказм. Зависит от контекста)
Неужели??? ЛЛ заработал. Вот это чудо? А я уже мысленно его похоронила. Откачали, значит🖖
