DimaastenLiterary translation check: Modern Noir from Kazakhstan (”The M
Hi! I am an author from Kazakhstan. I need a native speaker to check if this translation captures the ”dark and stylish” atmosphere of my novel. I’m looking for a literary partner, not a language exchange. English (Draft): Friendship is a profound joy that must be nurtured like a fragile, delicate flower. You must ”water” it with thoughts of your friend and ”fertilize” it with honorable actions. Always remember: losing a true friend is easy, but finding a new one is maddeningly difficult. Yuri Malygin, my childhood friend and a lawyer, was a somewhat withdrawn child, seemingly not of this world. Now, however, he could easily hook up with some girl of easy virtue, spend the entire day with her, and then book a hotel room or drag her back to his place. Russian (Original): Дружба — это огромная радость, которую надо растить как хрупкий и нежный цветок. «Поливать» мыслями о друге, «удобрять» достойными поступками. И всегда помнить, что потерять настоящего друга легко, а вот найти нового безумно трудно. Юрий Малыгин, мой друг детства и юрист, хотя ребенком он был немного замкнут и казался, будто не от мира всего, то сейчас мог спокойно замутить с какой-нибудь девкой легкого поведения и провести с ней целый день, а потом еще снять номер в отеле или притащить ее к себе домой. A story about a woman who lies so perfectly that her fiction becomes the only reality. Neon-noir aesthetic, psychological drama.

55OlgaSurvive the winter
A harsh winter, such as we’ve got this year, is a real trial, especially for birds and animals. Most of them got used to soft winter, so some of birds have stopped flying away for winter. But when the snow has fallen it became difficult for most move and get food. A lot of energy they are spending for warming themselves, the days are short during the winter, so they have not so much time for getting food. So why it’s necessary to help them to pass through this hard period.This year this idea is especially being promoted in my region. Almost everywhere is writing about how you can help to birds and animals. The main information of course how to help with food. For birds everywhere are hanging birds feeders. In the National Park is also cared about animals, by making special canopies and hanging out bunches of feed. I also decided to care about my feathered friends. There are a lot of them near my country house. This winter I often see a blackbird, a fieldfare, a jay, a robin redbreast, a jenny wren, a magpie and a titmouse. They live just next to me, some even under my house and in my barn. They have never needed my help before, but now it’s difficult times for them. So at first I put on my big apple tree a piece of Iard, which was used especially by a jay and a titmouse. Then I made a bird feeder and put it also on that tree. Birds are very careful now. Even my most frequent visitor - a titmouse is constantly looking around, fly up to the feeder, quickly took a seed and flew up to other branch to eat its prey. However, some of birds, like thrushes prefer to take food from the ground, so for them I scatter sunflower seeds directly on the snow. It delights me to help my small singers, besides I can see then closer now. And when we finally past through this hard times, they will delight me even more with their beautiful songs.

There is no bad weather
Weather forecasters are telling us that Tuesday is meeting us with a strong frost. To the morning at the weather station of Kaliningrad the air is cooled down to -15C. Really? I met this morning by a swimming in the sea. Usually I didn’t swim when the temperature is below -3-5C, however now we got for a long time temperatures much lower. Besides, it’s a pity to lose such a beautiful morning with so clear sky without wind and with completely calm sea. Near the sea temperatures are often a bit warmer, because of the sea. I don’t know exactly what the temperature was there this morning, but I noticed that it actually doesn’t mean much, as the temperature of water anyway is upper zero and you can’t freeze more than it’s possible. So I really didn’t freeze more than usual and was able to warm up myself quite fast. However, there is another problem then just cold came with the frost - formation of coastal ice -fast ice. Even the non-freezing Baltic sea has reacted to the cool temperatures. Somewhere, especially in small bays fast ice is reached several meters, in some places also ice pancakes are floating. In the place where I’m swimming it is not yet so wide, so I carefully can step over the fast ice. Anyway it’s very untypical pictures in the reality of our climate today. The weather and landscapes now are so winter like, the sky is so unbelievable blue and the sun is so shining, that it didn’t stop to amaze me. I’m still waiting for warmth, but now I’m a bit calm down and try to accept such cold winter and enjoy it as much as I can. As they often say in Russia ”There is no bad weather”. And what could say people whose weather leaves much to be desired for at least half a year... I wish you that the weather always delights you and all the best!

Sabato ho partecipato a una gara di ping-pong, un evento a più fasi in cui si possono accumulare punti. Sono arrivato secondo e ho ricevuto otto punti. Sono più che soddisfatto. Continua. È stata dura, ma anche una GRAN GIOCA!!!!!! Questa è la parola chiave. Perché chiunque può giocare a ping-pong; è anche uno sport piuttosto popolare, dato che da bambini spesso saltavamo intorno al tavolo, di solito in gruppo, ma anche in coppia. È una gioia rincorrere con successo la pallina bianca oltre la rete, e chiunque può farlo dopo un breve periodo di pratica. La gente ama giocare.

В субботу я участвовал в соревнованиях по настольному теннису, многоэтапном турнире, где можно набирать очки. Я занял второе место и получил восемь очков. Я более чем доволен этим. Продолжение следует. Это была тяжелая работа, но и ИГРА!!!!!! Это ключевое слово. Потому что в настольный теннис может играть любой; это также довольно популярный вид спорта, поскольку в детстве мы часто прыгали вокруг стола – обычно группой, но и парами. Успешно перебрасывать маленький белый мячик через сетку – это удовольствие, и любой может это сделать после короткой тренировки. Люди любят играть.

Am Samstag nahm ich an einem Tischtenniswettbewerb teil, der für mehrere Stationen geplant ist und bei dem man Punkte sammeln kann. Ich wurde Zweiter und bekam dafür 8 Punkte. Damit bin ich mehr als zufrieden. Und Fortsetzung folgt. Es war ein hartes Stück Arbeit, aber auch SPIEL!!!!!! Das ist das Schlüsselwort. Denn Tischtennis kann ein jeder spielen, es ist auch eine ziemlich populäre Sportart, weil man in der Kindheit oft rund um den Tisch umhersprang - meistens in einer Gruppe, aber auch zu zweit. Es ist ein Genuss, den kleinen weißen Ball erfolgreich übers Netz zu jagen, und das gelingt einem jeden nach einer kleinen Übungsphase. Spielen tut der Mensch gerne...

The holiday of Baptism of the Lord
On the19th January in Russia is celebrated the church holiday Baptism of the Lord (Epiphany). In this period is also often happen especially strong frosts which got its name by the church holiday - Epiphany frosts. Usually our winters are much warmer than in most part of the country and frosts pass us by. However, not this year. The baric giant which is Siberian anticyclone united the huge territory under its power from the Far East to Central Europe. Our temperatures remains steadily below zero and it’s going to become even worse. There is no light at the end of the tunnel for at least the next two weeks. So the Epiphany frosts have come to us for a long. On the night from 18th to 19th January and during the day of 19th we have a tradition to dive into an ice hole. A hole is cutting in the ice, convenient slopes are being equipped and the water is consecrating by a priest. The ice hole is often has the shape of a cross and called Jordan, by the name of the river where Christ was baptized. Actually it isn’t a church ritual and most priest are against it, however people like this tradition. It’s rather an amusement, which sometimes leads to tragedies, as people often are doing it under the alcohol. Actually I also used to dive into the ice hole on the Epiphany. However, now I transformed this fun into a conscious activity of winter swimming. It gives me a good mood and strong health in the regular manner instead of being desperate fun.

Фильм Нюрнберг - произношение-1
Большое спасибо за исправления и замечания. А как Вам моё произношение? https://vocaroo.com/1cDQyORnwAfo Вчера днём я ходил в кинотеатр «Урания», прибыльный кинотеатр в центре Будапешта. Я посмотрел новый американский фильм «Нюрнберг» с великолепным актёром Расселом Кроу. Хотя фильм длился почти два с половиной часа, он был захватывающим всё это время… Название фильма меня очень заинтересовало, потому что я не знал, что у немецкого города Нюрнберга есть похожее, но немного по-другому написанное английское название: Nurenberg. Я также заметил, что над производством работало много венгров. Я остаюсь убеждённым пацифистом.

Nurenberg (Film) - Aussprache
Vielen Dank für die Korrektur. Wie gefällt Ihnen die Aussprache beim Vorlesen des Textes? https://vocaroo.com/1npdkwtXeQI1 Gestern Nachmittag war ich im Urania-Kino, einem luxuriösen Palast in der Budapester Innenstadt. Ich habe mir den neuen amerikanischen Film Nürnberg mit dem großartigen Schauspieler Russell Crowe angesehen. Obwohl der Film fast zweieinhalb Stunden gedauert hat, war er die ganze Zeit über spannend… Der Titel des Films war für mich sehr interessant, weil ich nicht gewusst habe, dass die deutsche Stadt Nürnberg einen zwar ähnlichen, aber doch ein bisschen anders geschriebenen englischen Namen hat: Nuremberg. Es ist mir außerdem aufgefallen, dass viele Ungarn an der Produktion mitgewirkt haben. Ich bin nach wie vor ein eingefleischter Pazifist.

Zorn, Göttin, singen sie von dem Zorn Achilleus’, der Sohn Pelleus’, von dem verfluchtem Zorn der warf tausenden mächtigen Seelen zur Hades, aber gab sie zu Hunden und alle Vögeln, und der Wille Zeus’ ist geschehen, der erst setzte gegen einander mit einem Streit, der Sohn Atreus,’ der Menschen Herr, und göttlicher Achilleus.
