Whopper против "воппера", или Не бургером единым жив человек |
На что дама ему отвечает:
- If you like that kinda burger.
Тут нужно сразу же пояснить суть языковой игры.
И особено пояснить для тех проживающих за рубежом русскоговорящих, которым просто и некогда, да и незачем вникать в такие языковые тонкости. Незачем вникать, покуда это не влияет на зарплату, на воможность платить за medical insurance, и делать взносы за знаменитый даже в наших краях американский mortgage. (Это я изложил почти всю мифологию, царящую в наших кругах невыездных русских о жизни в вожделенной Северной Америке)
Возвращаясь к языковой игре: слово whopper в словаре официально переводится типа как "наглая ложь; "бессовестная ложь" и "громадина".
Вот о "громадине" сначала немного подробнее...
Дело в том, что whopper есть с некоторых пор и в русском языке - благодаря распространенной в России сети ресторанов Burger King. (фото из ресторана)
Они там так и называют этот знаменитый, "культовый" гамбургер: "уоппер" или "воппер", прямо русскими буквами. Прижилось видимо, ага.
Этот вуоппер и правда - огромный, я видел. Хотя сам гамбургеры не ем, а предпочитаю селедку с вареной картошечкой, посыпанной укропчиком, например.
Ну так что же, вопер и вопер, почему бы и нет?
Мало ли в русском языке сейчас заимствований из английского? Заимствований зачастую "кривых", некрасивых и небесспорных.
Как вам, например такое: "детейлинг". Если точнее: детейлинг автомобилей. Брррр...
Если вернуться к слову whopper, означающему "наглая ложь", то в том диалоге, получается, босс как бы говорит дамочке, мол, "гонишь ты, сестрёнка, врёшь, заливаешь, да ещё как!" или что-то в этом роде.
А вот дальше... А дальше и начинается, собственно, языковая игра, которую в пространстве русского языка лично я могу передать только в силу своего таланта, знания языка и воображения. А знатоки меня, может и поправят.
Дамочка-магнатша этой своей ответной репликой "If you like that kinda burger" как бы и иронизирует одновременно, и осаживает дядьку-босса. А заодно и показывает свою "нешитость лыком", если вы понимаете, о чём я.
Если выражаться по-умному, то whopper идиоматический превратился в whopper из фастфуда, съедобный такой.
Как красиво, а! В восприятии носителей языка эта языковая игра должна бы, поди просто блестяще смотреться, вкусно так, аппетитно! Эх, как жаль, что я не носитель английского языка... (шутка).
И я просто восхищён работой авторов сценария, ну и восхищён английским языком в целом.
Чисто из спортивного интереса хотелось бы узнать у проживающих в англоязычном контексте местных русскоговорящих читателей, какова была бы реакция настоящих носителей языка на такую языковую игру? Ну, типа если в обиходной ситуации этак зарядить вслух выражение " It's a whopper". И посмотреть, какая будет реакция. Желательно, конечно, чтобы этот носитель был человек образованный, начитанный, ну преподаватель истории или философии из университета, или просто из high scool. Интересоваться этим вопросом у автослесаря или вывозящего мусор водителя не имеет, пожалуй, смысла. При всём уважении к людям рабочих профессий, впрочем.
И напоследок приношу извинения русскоговорящим, проживающим за границей на ПМЖ.
Прошу простить за упоминание пресловутой селедки с вареной картошкой. Да, это было жестоко, да. Знаю из достоверных рассказов, что такой истинно русской еды там, за бугром, русскоговорящим поесть удаётся не то, что нечасто. А просто-таки почти никогда.
А хочется.
Тянет что-то в душе, воспоминаниями гложет...
Ну, что тут сказать, выбор у есть у каждого, кто-то селедочку кушает, а кто-то mortgage выплачивает...

at/on ... metro station |
Добрый день! Подскажите, допустим ли вариант 'on' в предложениях типа «It's located on Mayakovskaya metro station». В интернете нахожу только at...может не так смотрю?
Спасибо.

My writing is mostly about finding music or listening to music, but it also has a lot of other content that is related to learning and practicing English. It's VERY long though. I don't expect anyone to read all of it.
It's a reference guide that is specifically designed for English learners.
