1. Gold's Gym is a Fitness Club and you can by a t-shirt with the logo on it 2. bedhead is when you wake up- it is what your hair looks like (messy and like a mad scientist sometimes) 3. 4.0 engineer - probably an engineer who when he was at the university got the highest possible grades all the time. in teh american system a 4.0 is a perfect 5 in the russian system |
| Спасибо. Не будете ли вы любезны дать русский эквивалент именно обращения (причем, насколько видно из контекста, довольно грубого) bedhead? Т.е. это прямая речь: "..., bedhead!" Еще раз спасибо! |

| bedhead in Russian? hmmmm ... думаю не переводится и лучше обяснить как-то |
| T-shirt - Т-футболка, футболка |
|
Как же это можно объяснить, если это ОБРАЩЕНИЕ? Все остальное - это просто повествование и вполне понятно после ваших объяснений (за которые отдельное спасибо). Но здесь... |

what do you call your hair in the morning? maybe утренные волос, pillow hair? or somehow explain in russian that is just morning hair... all messy and funny try also "bed-head" - there are some ideas there which may help |
| Как вы думаете, если перевести обращение bedhead как "чучело", нормально? |
| i think it works.... dont see why not but i am never sure with these things... (which is why i avoid translating advertisements and things) |
| The thing is that it is not advertisement, it's fiction! May I ask is english your native language? |

2 margaux yes it is my native language and i know it is not an advertisment but you often find such annoying problems with things which do not translate when you work with advertising translations and your native language? Russian i am guessing? |
| Right! And the last remark, i.e question: what nuance, what additional sence does this "Oh" give to this notorius "four-point-Oh engineer"? Thanks a lot for the answer. |
