English to Ukrainian: The Reading Public. A Book Store Study by S. Leacock General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English "Wish to look about the store? Oh, oh, by all means," he said. Then as he rubbed his hands together in an urbane fashion he directed a piercing glance at me through his spectacles.
"You’ll find some things that might interest you," he said, "in the back of the store on the left. We have there a series of reprints – Universal Knowledge from Aristotle to Arthur Balfour – at seventeen cents..."
With that he waved his hand to an assistant and dismissed me from his thought. In other words, he had divined me in a moment. The sales manager of the biggest book store for ten blocks cannot be deceived in a customer. And he knew, of course, that, as a professor, I was no good. I had come to the store, as all professors go to book stores, just as a wasp comes to an open jar of marmalade. He knew that I would hang around for two hours, get in everybody’s way, and finally buy a cheap reprint of the Dialogues of Plato, or the Prose Works of John Milton, or Locke on the Human Understanding, or some trash of that sort.
I had no intention of standing in the place and listening as a spy. In fact, to tell the truth, I had become immediately interested in a new translation of the Moral Discourses of Epictetus. I had hardly read more than the first three chapters when my attention was diverted by a conversation going on in the front of the store.
Translation - Ukrainian «Хочете оглянути магазин? О, неодмінно, сер», – сказав він. Потім, затираючи руки, у ввічливій манері він скерував на мене крізь свої окуляри пронизливий погляд.
«Ви знайдете дещо, що зацікавить вас, – сказав він, – у кінці магазину зліва. Там у нас є серія перевидань – «Універсальні знання починаючи з Арістотеля і закінчуючи Артуром Бальфуром» – сімнадцять центів за книгу».
Він помахав рукою до продавця і забув і думати про мене. Інакше кажучи, він вмить здогадався, хто я. Керуючий найбільшим в радіусі десяти кварталів книжковим магазином не може помилитися у клієнті. І, звичайно, він знав, що я, як професор, не цікавий для нього. Я прийшов до магазину так само, як усі професори приходять до нього, подібно до того, як оса підлітає до відкритої банки з джемом. Він знав, що я залишуся тут на дві години, буду вертітися у всіх під ногами і врешті-решт куплю дешеве видання: «Діалоги» Плато, або «Прозові твори» Джона Мільтона, або ж «Розвідка про людське розуміння» Лока, або ще якусь подібну дурницю.
У мене не було наміру стояти на місці і підслуховувати, як шпигун. Власне кажучи, мене дуже зацікавив новий переклад книги «Моральні дискурси» Епіктета. Ледве-но я прочитав трохи більше трьох перших розділів, як мою увагу прикула розмова, що відбувалася на вході до магазину.
