блеснули политическим умом

прошу прощения, пра палитику

Парламент Украины отменил закон о расширении использования языков нацменьшинств, в том числе русского

прелестно.

неполиткорректное

тупые, трусливые, хитрожопые сволочи. Такие же, как российские депутаты, ясное дело. Что неудивительно, ясное дело. Но противно.

я таки надеюсь, что оно пойдёт не в этом направлении. я таки надеюсь, что у них будет лучше, чем у нас, что этот шанс не пропадёт.

Про Стартрек)

посмотрела The Deadly Years, блин, до чего же страшная серия 0_________о Прям как свой собственный стараниями подсознания полузабытый кошмар просматриваешь
Ну Спока жалко как фсегда, а вот на Кирка вообще просто невозможно смотреть. Интересно, не под впечатлением ли от этой серии был придуман Денни Крейн?

self-evident)

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

ыыыы, божи мой, фся команда Энтерпрайза под кайфом, один Кирк мучаеццо без прихода Низнаю, чем эта серия закончиццо, но она прекрастна заранее жалко Спока, однако(

UPD Вау, какое оно прекрасное
'In return, they give you complete health and peace of mind.'
'That's... paradise.'
'We have no need or want, Captain.'
'It's true Eden, Jim. There's belonging. And love.'
'No wants, no needs. We weren't meant for that, none of us. Man stagnates when he has no ambition, no desire to be more than he is.'
'We have what we need.'
'Except the challenge.'

SOCHI (The Borowitz Report)—Minutes after the Russian men’s hockey team fell to Finland 3-1, a devastated President Vladimir Putin told reporters, “This must be what an actual election feels like.”

СОЧИ (Боровиц Репорт) - Минуты спустя после поражения российской хоккейной команды в матче с Финляндией со счётом 3:1 крайне расстроенный президент Владимир Путин заявил журналистам: "Вот так, наверное, и чувствуешь себя после настоящих выборов"

плохие стехи

It's too late to worry
It's too late
It's too late to be sorry
It's way too late
It's too late for asking
Oh, it is too late
When the light gets dusky
Well it is too late
When the air is clear and the wind is wet
With the breath of spring
When you have to bet, when you have to bet
With no chance to win

а вот ещё

рек по Бостон Лигал) В основном про Брэда, плюс совершенно чудесные канонные Дэнни и Алан)
Sometimes a Cigar by Lyrastar
кусочек)

He picks up the phone and dials.
For once Denny doesn't answer with his names.
"Hello?"
Too late, Brad notices it's almost eleven o'clock.
"Denny?"
"Alan."
Alan? "Alan, is Denny there?"
"The adjoining pillow. Won't be a sec."
"Denny Crane."
"Denny. Brad Chase. I didn't wake you, did I?"
"No, not even sleepy. We just finished tying the knot."
"Tying the knot? With Alan?" Some things made more sense when he was getting drunk and passing out every night. "You wouldn't be pulling my leg?"
"Course not, man! It was my idea. I…I mean, Alan asked me to sleep with him, but I came up with the idea of us getting hitched."
In the background, Brad hears Alan snort.
"Well, Denny, I don't know what to say except congratulations, and I appreciate your trust in confiding in me. I'd send a gift, but I suppose you don't need another toaster." He tries for the weak joke to cover his confusion. He really thinks things were simpler during the Desert Storm when all you had to know to understand the world was that oil and America were good and everything else could take its chances.

И вообще кстате у этого автора несколько оч. качественных фиков по Бостон Лигалу)

creepy

как же этого слова не хватает в русском языке))) Или оно уже в нём есть?)) У Стругацких вот есть много вещей которые именно creepy. А ещё тут решила промеж себя, что Стартрек по крипи-фактору куда как опережает Доктора Кто) Особенно когда серии про детишек, вроде Charlie X и Miri (которая как раз таки сильно напомнила тех же Стругацких). И ещё он куда мрачнее чем ДК, имхо)

@темы: кино, Sprachfimmel, какой такой доктор?

Вербальные анахронизмы))

статья при них в современных сериалах, Нью-Йоркер, естессно)
Сохраню целиком, ибо узнала многа интересного) Например, происхождение идиомы, на знании которой настаивает мой британский учебник Вообще все примеры настолько обиходные, что просто поразительно, как недавно они оказываеццо вошли в язык)) Ну может за исключением breaking news - понятно, что это дитя новостных каналов, и meritocracy, нащщот которого у мну всегда были смутные сомнения)))



More than ever before, the makers of movies and television shows set in the historical past take care to get period details right. What we see on the screen tends to have been conscientiously researched. Medieval peasants, Civil War-era soldiers and politicians, and Old West cowboys and Indians no longer wear obviously machine-sewn clothes made of obviously synthetic fabrics. Houses and streets contain furnishings and vehicles actually in use in the era portrayed. There is some recognition of the fact that, in days of yore, men wore hats year-round, often got dirty, and didn’t necessarily shave every day. We live in a golden age of production design—but only for what we see, not for what we hear. sсript-wise, anything goes, including the lexical equivalents of a jukebox in a frontier saloon or a zip-up toga on a Roman senator.

I’ve been watching episodes of “Masters of Sex,” a dramatic series about William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the famous midcentury sex researchers. It’s a good show, every bit as entertaining and clever as Emily Nussbaum says it is. But what drives me nuts about it—and about a good many other high-end cable period pieces, such as “Deadwood” and “Downton Abbey”—is the gratuitous proliferation of verbal anachronisms.

A few examples from “Masters of Sex,” which is set in St. Louis in the early nineteen-fifties:

“I’m going to pass on the bacon.” People played a lot of bridge back then, but “pass on,” as a metaphor for skipping or refusing something, was not yet in use.

“This is way more than you owe me.” No. No way. No one used “way” this way in 1953, not even Valley Girls. (Valley Girls had not yet been invented.) “This is much more than you owe me” would be way more authentic.

“If this place were a meritocracy, they’d be throwing money at you.” The word “meritocracy” was coined in 1958. It would not make its way to flyover country for several more years after that.

“Breaking news.” As far as the general public is concerned, this phrase is an artifact of 24/7 cable-TV news. In the fifties, the closest civilian equivalent would have been, “We interrupt this program to bring you a special bulletin.”

“Trust me, you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” Nobody said “Trust me” back then. Everybody said “Believe me.”

“Heavy!” As an interjection exclaiming that some idea or experience is portentously important (as opposed to simply denoting an object that weighs a lot), “Heavy!” is post-1965 hippie slang. It would not have been used in this sense a decade earlier, any more than “Bummer!” would then have been used to denote a bad experience or, indeed, anything at all except a hobo.

“If the Reds nuke us…” As a (usually derogatory) term for Communists or the Soviet Union, “Reds” passes period muster. “Nuke,” especially as a verb, does not.

“I’m so sick of Establishment thinking.” The late, great British journalist Henry Fairlie repurposed “Establishment” as a noun and adjective, referring to the adepts and/or ideas of a self-perpetuating, dominant élite, in a 1955 essay for The Spectator. The roughly parallel nineteen-fifties bugaboo was “conformism.”

“It’s a game-changing offer.” William Safire, the late Times columnist and conductor of the paper’s “On Language” department, nailed down the etymology of this one in 2008. “Game-changer” made its début in 1982, in the sports sections of newspapers, referring to decisive plays in particular games, not to changes in the rules or methods of play. The term made its metaphorical way into business jargon during the nineties and came to rest in politics after the turn of the century. “In early 2003,” Safire wrote,

White House officials began telling journalists “nuclear weapons are a game-changer” and to transform Iraq would be “a geopolitical game-changer.” By June of the next year, President Bush made it official, with definition attached: “A free Iraq in the heart of the Middle East is going to be a game-changer, an agent of change.”

Game-changing, you see, does not always change the game for the better.

“The board was blindsided.” This extremely useful football term, referring to the sacking of a quarterback from out of his field of vision, did not enter the language as a metaphor for unpleasant surprises until the nineteen-seventies.

“I knew that on Day One.” Another dismal excrescence of the seventies. When Eisenhower was President, a person would say “from the start,” or “from the beginning,” or “I always knew that.”

“I’m trying to get my head around it.” More hippie slang. It’s just possible that someone might have said, “I’m trying to get my mind around it,” but even that would be a stretch.

I suppose you are more likely to notice (and to be irritated by) anachronisms like these if you are of a sufficiently advanced age to have been alive and sentient during the period covered by “Masters of Sex.” But some fraction of younger people—those who listened attentively to the talk of their parents and their parents’ friends, those who have read fifties novels and watched fifties movies—may notice, too. Anyway, why bother getting visual details right if you’re going to ignore the aural ones?

Are there no production designers for language? There ought to be.
