Subject: please help - tricky sentence! Hi guys,Am struggling with this sentence, was wondering if you could give me any variants - as a whole it is: But I'm having the most trouble with this bit: чтобы вот так же...и на такой же блестящей иномарке...и чтобы такая же телка рядом...Глупые. Know it's long, but any ideas gratefully received..... Cheers, |

| .. they were consumed with an incessant desire to be like them, to drive their cars, to sleep with their women.. |
| TM: телка - chick? |
|
imho "...to have all that: a fancy foreign car, a classy bird on the passanger seat... all of it!.. How silly!" |
| Rather "as good as theirs" then "their" |
|
телка - chick babe legs betty bird piece of *** |
| It arose both envy and a perverse desire - имхо |
|
wouldn't go for 'perverse desire'... it's somehow too... er... perverse? )) perhaps 'a base/lowly desire' can one say 'lowly desire'? or am I гоню пургу, как обычно?)) |
|
Why even "lowly "? Just "dumb stubborn desire" |
|
И вызывало зависть и тупное дурное стремление непременно добиться, чтобы вот так же...и на такой же блестящей иномарке...и чтобы такая же телка рядом...Глупые from somewhere deep inside arose envy and the foolish desire to have what they have... a flashy foreign car.... and a nice pair of legs on the side... foolishness. |

kinsman, я ж не спора ради, а стилистики для))) кстати, а почему мы так вот снаскоку решили, что "тупное" - это непременно очепятанное "тупое", а не "преступное"??? |
|
Imho "Poor jerks..." will do here for "Глупые." |
| Actually guys, I did type it wrong - it should be tupoe (sorry Shumov, thanks for believing in me!) : ) |
