READING HISTORY
A Laconic Answer
The Spartans (спартанцы) lived in that part of southern Greece called Laconia. Sometimes people call them Spartans and sometimes Laconians. Those people were very brave and their way of life (1) was very simple. One of their rules (правила) was that they must always speak very briefly (кратко) using no more words than were necessary. To this day (2), we often call a short answer laconic; that is, such an answer as a Laconian might give.
There was in northern Greece a land called Macedon, ruled over (3) by a king, Philip by name. Philip wanted to become head of all Greece. He had a great army and conquered state after state. But although his strength was so great, Laconia remained free. When Philip reached Laconia he sent a letter to the brave Spartans saying, "If I conquer your country, I will level your great city to the ground". (4) In a few days he saw the answer brought to him. On opening the letter he found only one word written in it. That word was IF.
PROVERBS
Life is not all cakes and ale. Жизнь прожить - не поле перейти. (букв. Жизнь - это не только пироги и пиво.)
Accidents will happen in the best regulated families. Несчастья случаются и в лучших семействах. (Ср.: В семье не без урода.)
There is many a slip between the cup and the lip. Между чашей и губами много неожиданностей. (Ср.:Не говори гоп, пока не перепрыгнешь.)
QUOTATIONS
The foolish and the dead alone (5) never
change their opinions.
James Russel Lowell (USA, 1819-1891)
Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.
Benjamin Franklin (USA, 1706-1790)
The three things most difficult are -to keep a secret, to
forget an injury () and to make good use of (6)
free time.
Chilo (Greece, 560 B.C.)
POETRY
Life if mostly froth and bubble; (7)Two things stand like stone;
Kindness in another's trouble,
Courage in our own.
AdamLingsay Gordon (Australia, 1833-1870)
Примечания
(2) to this day - до наших дней
(3) ruled over - находящаяся под властью. Ruled здесь причастие II от глагола to rule править.
(4) level your great city to the ground - сравняю ваш великий город с землей. Вы встречали слово level в значении уровень, но здесь это гла-гол.
(5) The foolish and the dead alone ... - Только глупцы и мертвецы ...
