Useful prescriptions

 

And guess a book

 

I read the prescription. It ran:

- 1 lb. beefsteak, with 1 pt. bitter beer every 6 hours

- 1 ten-mile walk every morning.

- 1 bed at 11 sharp every night

And don't stuff up your head with things you don't understand.

Dear friends!

 

Let's translate three sentences from Russian into English:

 

1. Кто не курит и не пьет - тот здоровеньким помрет.

 

2. Занимайся физкультурой - вырастешь здоровой дурой!

 

3. Тот кто витамины пьет, до самой смерти доживет.

 

Have fun!

I`d like to add this list:

Кто поет цыгански песни, тот народу интересней!

Не плачь моя шарманочка, идет плясать цыганочка!

Где мой табор кочевой? Кто пойдет плясать со мной!?

По английски говорю, по цыгански я пою!

Говорят я англичанка, а в душе я всеж цыганка.

Не скучает наша Molly, такова цыганска доля!

Затрясу я тут плечами, засверкаю я очами!

Now I am sitting at the Uchinskoe. The sun is under clouds but wind is still warm.

I see you're very interested in Gypsy people. I guess you're a Gypsy baron yourself.

This is your photo. You look nice.

Did you have a swim? Is the water warm? It's a forbidden zone, you know. If you're stopped by the police, say: "Sorry, we are not locals. We've lost our way in the forest," and they will let you go.

 

Have a good time!

[Serdar 2]

When hot day there are hundreds 'not locals'. I did not have a swim just the rest on coast + cycling.

Tomorrow I am going to get there again.

Very good! But... Sorry, I'll correct it a little. (Who - это "он" - 3 лицо, so you should use "does")

 

"He who doesn't smoke and doesn't drink, that will die with colour pink."

 

You will ask: "Why he?" There're a lot of proverbs in the English language which begin with "He...", for example:

 

"He gives twice who gives quickly"- Тот дает вдвое, кто дает быстро.

 

"He laughs best who laughs last" - Хорошо смеется тот, кто смеется последним.

 

"He who makes no mistakes makes nothing" - Не ошибается тот, кто ничего не делает.

 

As you see,"he" isn't translated into Russian here.

 

I liked your translation. You can order any prize. What would you like to get?

I didn't see your post. Please read what is written for Serdar and correct your sentence yourself. You can order a prize too.

You are living, drinking pills, while fate will not show you bills.

Very good! But "bills"! not "bill" Here's is your prize. I know you like horses.

This horse is as clever as you are. Now you can go for a ride every day.
