Not a big deal?? I don't think so, a successful English speaker (or do you mean Russian native speaker?) would have to understand first what the fragment is saying. Judging by the attempts to translate Rosenbaum into English on this forum, it will not be that easy. Anyways, this looks like an excessively hard task.
I meant a Russian native speaker, of course. The problem is that he/she would likely not be able to convey the nuances which make this so interesting, just the meaning.
