    Тянет на хамство? Или там где ты вырос это считается удачной шуткой?
    Это ещё что... Я не сомневаюсь, что этот товариСЧ считает не менее удачной шуткой, когда он прилюдно, прошу прощения, рыгает или портит воздух.
    Could you please occasionally correct my stupid errors!
    Korrigiert bitte ab und zu meine dummen Fehler!

    У меня был один такой знакомый.
    Мы как-то ехали с ним и с еще одним моим другом в поезде, так вот он положил свои вонючие ноги на столик, а когда мы его попросили их убрать он стал жаловаться, что мы москвичи какие-то “не простые”, не то что у них в совхозе и не близки к его пониманию какими должны быть шутки между приятелями и простые человеческие отношения.
    Ну да есть еще такие люди.

    This is easy translated into English as: "However they only made a few steps, before the room suddenly was filled with bright light."

    An acceptable variation would be; "they only managed to make a few steps...
    What do you think of this:
    "But as they stepped into the room, bright light suddenly flooded it."

    Well, I don't know what to say. I want to say thanks to the Academy, to Mama, to Papa and to my dog. I love you all.

    cost = use = expend = exert = reach = obtain = anything that requires effort...it's all the same concept.

    Every thought and concept conceivable to humans could probably be expressed with a vocabulary of 2000.
    All the other hundreds of thousand of words are needed just to keep college professors and other professional bs'ers from getting a real job!
    DO IT YOURSELF!

    Zeig Heil!! Товарищ!!!
    99.9% of everything that was ever invented was done by people who use their hands and not their mouths! Ever hear of the wheel? Start there and work your way up.
    As the famous American inventor (stealer) Thomas Edison said; "Invention is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration!"

    I have more words of wisdom I could impart to you, but can only do so when you are ready to understand them.
    DO IT YOURSELF!

    What do you think of this:
    "But as they stepped into the room, bright light suddenly flooded it."
    "as they" is a very good version.
    It is what J. K. Rowling used.
    The sentence, as a whole, is messed up because I was trying to make it fit the translation.
