English to Russian: an article on the history of coffee
General field: Other
Detailed field: Food & Drink
Source text - English
Coffee History
According to a coffee history legend, an Arabian shepherd named Kaldi found his goats dancing joyously around a dark green leafed shrub with bright red cherries in the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula. Kaldi soon determined that it was the bright red cherries on the shrub that were causing the peculiar euphoria and after trying the cherries himself, he learned of their powerful effect. The stimulating effect was then exploited by monks at a local monastery to stay awake during extended hours of prayer and distributed to other monasteries around the world.
Coffee was born.

Despite the appeal of such a legend, recent botanical evidence suggests a different coffee bean origin. This evidence indicates that the history of the coffee bean began on the plateaus of central Ethiopia and somehow must have been brought to Yemen where it was cultivated since the 6th century.
Upon introduction of the first coffee houses in Cairo and Mecca coffee became a passion rather than just a stimulant.

История кофе
Как гласит легенда, история кофе началась на юге Аравийского полуострова, где однажды арабский пастух по имени Калди заметил, что его козы радостно скачут вокруг кустарника с темно-зелеными листьями и ярко-красными ягодами. Калди вскоре понял, что именно ярко-красные плоды этого кустарника были причиной странной эйфории, охватившей его коз, и, попробовав этих ягод, он сам ощутил их бодрящий эффект. Это свойство ягод затем стали использовать монахи местного монастыря, чтобы не спать во время долгих часов молитвы, и их примеру последовали в других монастырях по всему миру.
Так был рожден кофе.

Однако несмотря на привлекательность подобных легенд, последние данные ботаники указывают на иное место происхождения кофейных зерен. Согласно этим данным, история кофейного зерна началась на плато центральной Эфиопии, откуда его каким-то образом завезли в Йемен, где кофе выращивают с 6-го века.
А с тех пор как в Каире и Мекке открылись первые кофейни, кофе из простого возбудителя превратился в настоящую страсть.
English to Russian: an article on violence against women
General field: Social Sciences
Detailed field: Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Source text - English
Violence against women takes many forms – physical, sexual, psychological and economic. These forms of violence are interrelated and affect women from before birth to old age. Some types of violence, such as trafficking, cross national boundaries. Women who experience violence suffer a range of health problems and their ability to participate in public life is diminished. Violence against women harms families and communities across generations and reinforces other violence prevalent in society. Violence against women also impoverishes women, their families, communities and nations. Violence against women is not confined to a specific culture, region or country, or to particular groups of women within a society. The roots of violence against women lie in persistent discrimination against women. Up to 70 per cent of women experience violence in their lifetime.

Translation - Russian
Насилие в отношении женщин принимает различные формы - физическое, сексуальное, психологическое и экономическое. Эти формы насилия взаимосвязаны, и их влияние на жизнь женщин начинается еще до рождения и продолжается до старости. Некоторые виды насилия, такие, как торговля людьми, выходят за пределы государственных границ. Подвергшиеся насилию женщины, как правило, страдают от широкого круга болезней, в результате чего снижается их способность участвовать в общественной жизни. Продолжающееся из поколения в поколение насилие разрушает семьи и общины и способствует росту других видов насилия в обществе. Насилие в отношении женщин является причиной их бедности, а также бедности их семей, общин и народов. Насилие в отношении женщин не ограничивается определенной культурой, регионом, страной, или отдельными группами женщин в обществе. Его корни лежат в постоянной дискриминации в их отношении. До 70 процентов женщин испытывают в своей жизни насилие.
