Subject: "как ты лодку назовешь, так она и поплывет" помогите найти эквивалент пжлст"как ты лодку назовешь, так она и поплывет" |
Ну понятийного точно нет эквивалента. Только если лингвистический. a shot: What you call a boat, so it will float! |
nomen omen ("the name is a destiny") |
ага, что-то типа your name shapes your destiny! thnx a lot =) |
Кое-кто уже перевел: There is this Russian cartoon named The Adventures of Captain Vrungel. The characters set out for a deep sea trip and name their boat Victory. As the boat pushes off, they marrily sing "As you name the boat, so shall it float". Two first letters immediately (and unknowingly for them) drop off turning Victory (in its Russian equivalent) into Disaster. Funny as cartoon is, this is what happens when we define things for ourselves. Our definitions lock us into certain way of action that are defined by our definition. |
Надо бы для начала книжку А.С. Некрасова "Приключения капитана Врунгеля" почитать... http://lib.ru/NEKRASOW_A/vrungel.txt Там, кстати, речь шла про ЯХТУ. |
