Thread: Fall

I wrote an article about fall. Unfortunately, I can't translate it in
English because I can't transmit that mood and these=>thouse(?) visual images
what I had in mind, when I was writing an article. I hope this
article helps you to understand and to feel better Russia, Russian
culture and Russian language. You can also download an audio file to
this article from the link http://learning-eng.narod.ru/fall.mp3 (434 Kb)

By the way, would you tell me about a couple of your (favoruite) poems
about fall in English literature? I'd like to read it=> ones...

ОСЕНЬ
Это слово порождает в моей памяти множество ассоциаций. Это и бескрайние
поля до самого горизонта с вызревшим золотом хлебов, налитые колосья
пшеницы. Это и оранжевая листва деревьев, покрытая позолотой. Приятно
бродить по лесу под кронами вековых исполинов, шурша опавшей листвой под
ногами, и слушать ленивые трели птиц.

Осень - это перерыв, отдых от порядком надоевшего жаркого и знойного лета.
Это время приятной умеренной погоды: когда не повеяло еще холодом зимы и
еще ласково тепло днем. Для меня осень - это и раннее утро, холодная заря,
когда красное солнце не спеша начинает свой путь по небосводу. Это и дымка
утреннего тумана, простирающаяся до изгиба реки. Это и обильная роса на
траве, которую ты сбиваешь резиновыми сапогами, оставляя темно-зеленый
след за собой. Это и паутинки на лице... Ты только-только открыл дверь
своего дома, еще не вышел за околицу, а они уже тут как тут, мягко ложатся
на кожу... Чуть погодя, когда солнце поднимется выше, его лучи будут касаться
ближайшей рощи, самых верхушек крон... И здесь память заботливо преподносит
фразу, точнейшим образом описывающее происходящее: "А солнце уже золотит
верхушки деревьев". Конечно, такое красивое время года не могло остаться
без внимания поэтов, и первое, что приходит на ум - это строчки об осени
нашего гения, великого русского поэта Александра Сергеевича Пушкина
(отрывок из стихотворения "Осень"):

Унылая пора! Очей очарованье!
Приятна мне твоя прощальная краса -
Люблю я пышное природы увяданье,
В багрец и в золото одетые леса,
В их сенях ветра шум и свежее дыханье,
И мглой волнистою покрыты небеса,
И редкий солнца луч, и первые морозы,
И отдаленные седой зимы угрозы.

Наверное, у каждого из нас в далеких-далеких уголках его души отыщутся
свои собственные воспоминания, образы и звуки этого времени года.
Поиграйтесь с ними, переживите их еще, сравните с сегодняшней осенью...
Ведь каждая осень приносит в нашу жизнь что-то новое, неизведанное,
никогда не испытанное прежде.

You spelled one word wrong down at the bottom..so it didn't go through the translator.But here you go!


FALL
This word generates set of associations in my memory. It and boundless
Fields up to the horizon with the ripened gold of the breads, the juicy ears
Wheats. It and the orange foliage of trees covered by gilding. Pleasantly
To wander on a scaffold under crones of century giants, rustling with the fallen down foliage under
Legs and to listen to lazy trills of birds.

The fall is a break, rest from order of the bothered hot and hot summer.
This time of the pleasant moderate weather: when not повеяло still a cold of winter and
Still

Never use online translators as a means of ruling the world.

Yes. This text in English is one of the versions of translate. And I hope the translator helped to understand a sense a little bit. But I think it's almost impossible to translate in English the phrases like "поля, с вызревшим золотом хлебов", "дымка утреннего тумана, простирающегося до изгиба реки", "пышное природы увяданье" and so on... Am I wrong and somebody can do it? In that case please do it. It will be interesting.

What is your point? Copypaste the Russian text to translate.ru, press the button and copypaste result back? Doesn't it ( result ) looks somewhat strange for you? e.g. "foliage under legs" ?

Поправка на поправленную поправку занесена в каталог поправок!
TATY, спасибо!

By the way I found in the dictionary the phrase like the one above:

translate into
1) переводить ( на какой-л. язык ) Please translate this passage into good English. — Пожалуйста, сделайте литературный перевод этого абзаца на английский язык.

So everything is correct. Anyway I have a question: are both these versions correct? I mean the versions "translate to English" and "translate into English" or only one of them is correct?

Any language is a proper noun as well as 1. inanimate 2. an abstract concept, so 'into' is more grammatically correct.

"Translate into English" is the correct construction. [/b]
