Thread: правильный ли перевод?

At half-past on a Friday evening in January, Lincoln International Airport, Illinois, was functioning, though with difficulty.
Январь. Международный аэропорт Линкольн в Иллинойсе к половине шестого вечера, в пятницу еще работал (функционировал), но с трудом.

Перевод русско на английском? Если да,
At half-past five on a Friday evening in January, Lincoln International Airport, Illinois, was functioning, though with difficulty.

Все еще правильно!

Спасибо!
Извините, пропустила слово "five" Я учусь самостоятельно переводить с английского языка на русский язык.
The airport was reeling –as was the entire Midwestern United States – from the meanest, roughest winter storm in half a dozen years.
Аэропорт вихрило, как весь Средний Запад Соединенных Штатов ужасающим и тяжелейшим зимним штормом за шесть лет.
(А вот это предложение я не могу правильно изложить на русский язык.)[/b]

IMHO
I am not sure about the word "reeling".
I think it means "to get the cr@p beat out of you"
Ex: The boxer was reeling from his opponents blows.

The airport as well as the entire Midwestern US was getting the cr@p beat out of it from the meanest, roughest winter storm in 6 years.

Thank you for IMHO!
I am reading the book "Airport" by Arthur Hailey.
The airport was reeling –as was the entire Midwestern United States – from the meanest, roughest winter storm in half a dozen years.The storm had lasted three days.
Now, like pustules on a battered, weakened body, trouble spots were erupting steadily.
Шторм длился три дня. И теперь горячие точки, как гнойники прорывались везде.

Guys, I think choro is translating from English to Russian... we should be checking her russian translation...

LOL. "pustules" is a very funny sounding word.
You do not hear that word very often.

Can't you start with "Little Red Riding Hood" ?

В прежнем посте я сказала о том, что учусь переводить художественное произведение широко известное в России в 70 годах.
Да, я не часто слышала слово "pustules" в обиходе, но это слово было написано автором "Аэропорт".
Спасибо за совет, что мне читать.
Дарю Вам замечательную поговорку: "совет может бать каждый, мешок муки никто!"

Да, мне нужна помощь для правильного перевода. Я не прошу грамматический разбор разбор предложений. Мне нужно знать насколько мой перевод близок по значению с английским текстом.
Спасибо всем заранее.

Isn't it easier to get a Russian book and have a look at the professional transaltion? By the way, I've also read this book in English. That's pretty interesting but I wouldn't call it 'unputdownable'. It's just a good read but not more than that.

Видела я русский сайт по востоку: Китай, Корея, Япония, где в разделе "китайский язык", на форуме переводили "Робинзона Крузо" с китайского на русский и Вы знаете, там почему-то никому ни пришла такая замечательная мысль взять, да и прочитать русский профессиональный перевод. И что было удивительно, так это то, что никто не давал советов, мастер подгонял учеников постить любые варианты-пробы перевода.

choro, нам начинать подгонять тебя? :)

A United Air Lines food truck, loaded with two hundred dinners, was lost and presumably snowbound somewhere on the airport perimeter.

Грузовик обслуживания Авиа полетов с двумястами обедами был утерян и по-видимому засыпан снегом в районе аэропорта.

Авия полетов == United Airlines?

I think the norm is to transliterate English names of companies into russian and not translate (or in your case make up a name ).

Also dinner = ужин unless you eat обед as your last meal of the day (some do)

в районе аэропорта = me not like, that means the airport region... too broad. It is somewhere in the airport property. You can't say периметер?

THank you!

Do you mean "Юнайт Эйерлайн"?

I have heard in Russian Airoflot "трех разовое питание", "кормить-то будут? да, будет только обед".

в районе аэропорта = me not like, that means the airport region... too broad. It is somewhere in the airport property. You can't say периметер?

It could be better "периметер".
P.S. may I ask? What does mean "vinnie"?[/quote]

периметер

It is wrong.
периметр It is true.

Maybe "Юнайтд Эйрлайнс"?

What does "vinnie" mean

It doesn't mean anything, it is my nickname.

Thank you for help!

Well. it's good.

It doesn't mean anything, it is my nickname.

I know from the Russian cartoon "Винни, Винни!"

I have two versions of the sentence: "The airport was reeling –as was the entire Midwestern United States – from the meanest, roughest winter storm in half a dozen years."
1.Аэропорт, как и весь Средний Запад США, буквально крутило от безжалостного зимнего урагана, самого злого за последние полдюжины лет.

2.Безжалостный зимний ураган, самый злой за последние полдюжины лет, буквально колотил аэропорт, а за одно и весь Средний Запад США. [/quote]

I don't know if ураган is the best word for winter storm, doesn't that mean hurricane? What about метель, вьюга, буран?

and why буквально, why literally.

number 1 has the same construction as the text, the second... I don't know, is it more natural in Russian?

PS: Thank you for your help!

choro, не пойми меня неправильно, но я думаю это не совсем тот форум где обсуждают литературные переводы. Вряд ли иностранцы смогут оценить насколько хорошо звучит та или иная версия на русском языке. Тебе скорее на какой-нибудь форум переводчиков надо если ты хочешь упражняться в литературном переводе.
