Trying your hand at translation

I. Act as an interpreter. Translate the sentences from Russian into English and from English into Russian. Dialogue I

A. Как часто вы слышали несколько избитую фразу: «Молодым вез­де у нас дорога!..»

B. You're right, there are lots of options in life, but there are also all kinds of problems with making choice and putting all the ideas into practice.

A. Что вы имеете в виду?

B. Lots of things: how to choose the right career for you, how to get ac­cepted by a university, where you can go to study your specific sub­ject, and finally where you can work after you finish your course.

A. Да, говорят, что в мире существует более 2000 профессий. Какая из них — твоя? Очень важно, занимаешься ты любимым делом или «отбываешь наказание» на работе... Я хотела бы стать моде­льером верхней женской одежды. Но сейчас так трудно посту­пить в вуз...

B. I know, and the University of Technology and Design is a prestigious place to study.

A. В качестве первого этапа меня устроил бы и колледж, где есть специальность «модельер».

B. Yes, this career is in great demand today and it pays well. If you make good quality, fashionable clothes, then customers will keep coming back to you.

A. В этой профессии привлекательно и то, что она открывает перс­пективы для творчества. Так интересно придумывать что-то са­мой!

B. Oh I know, but whatever you decide to do, remember that you must work hard to get that job. Nowadays, on the whole, I think that we come across a lot of amateurs in life.

A. Итак, будем профессионалами?!

B. Oh yes indeed, and we'll be in great demand. I'll study at the Faculty of Law and I am going to put a lot of effort in and give a great deal of my attention to subjects like history, foreign languages and law. Every­one always needs a good lawyer, don't they?
