Как перевести? (ru-en)

В принципе мужик бесится в двух случаях: когда с ним - не та... и когда та - не с ним...

    There are actually two things that make a guy go mad about: when there's a wrong girl on his arm... and when the right one is on someone else's (arm).

Спасибо всем!

Olga: There are a couple of problems with your translation: (1) The word "about" is out of place in the first line: ...make a guy go mad. (2) "there's a wrong" is unidiomatic. RIGHT and WRONG are polar and exclusive extremes, so they take the definite article. Instead of "there's," it should be "he has THE wrong girl..."

Tatiana: does this verb mean to make angry or to drive crazy? Also, your translation is completely unidiomatic with "not his one" and "his one." If I didn't read the Russian version, I would have no idea what you meant.

Jane: The shortening of BECAUSE to CAUSE is colloquial, and not casually used as in your example. It just looks like bad English. If anything, it's used in quotes to show what someone actually said, and more properly with an apostrophe to indicate the elided BE-. As with Olga's translation, A WRONG is conceptually and idiomatically nonsensical in English. It should always be THE WRONG/RIGHT.

Of course, Uly! Thank you so much! 😘

Anytime, doll.

Thank you very much, Uly! It's good you took a look at this sentence. I already lost all the hope to know what it should be in English.)

You’re welcome, Tati. “...lost all hope OF KNOWING“
