Porque vivir una vida haciendo lo que sueñas que una limitada por lo que los demás piensan…

Сегодня я выбрала известный роман “12 стульев” двух советских писателей - Ильи Ильфа и Евгения Петрова. Без сомнения, данная книга содержится в культурном коде любого русского человека, все знают цитаты и диалоги из нее, а особенно из фильмов, которые были сняты по этому произведению.

Но выбранный отрывок интересен еще и тем, что из него вы узнаете 7 разных фраз и слов, которые означают одно - человек умер. Богатство русского языка на ярком примере, так сказать.

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: ца́рствие небе́сное - the Kingdom of Heaven; согласи́ться - выразить, подтвердить своё согласие - to agree; преста́виться - умереть - to die, pass away; отда́ть бо́гу ду́шу (to give your soul to God) - умереть - to die, pass away; смотря́ кака́я - it depends on what; в те́ле - упитанный, толстый - well-fed, fat; покрупне́е - bigger; похуде́е - thinner, skinny; счита́ться - слыть, быть известным в качестве кого-нибудь - to consider, known as; ви́дный - (разг.) значительный, известный, рослый, статный - prominent, conspicuous, distinguished; возвы́шенный - высокий - high; е́жели - если - if; не дай бог - God forbid; помере́ть - умереть - to die, pass away; сыгра́ть в я́щик (kick the bucket) - умереть - to die, pass away; торго́вый - trade, commercial, merchant; бы́вшей купе́ческой ги́льдии - former merchant guild; приказа́ть до́лго жить - умереть - to die, pass away; чин - служебный разряд у военных и гражданских служащих - rank; дво́рник - janitor, wiper; крестья́нин - peasant; переки́нуться - умереть - to die, pass away; но́ги протяну́ть (stretch your legs) - умереть - to die, pass away; могу́чий - мощный, сильный - powerful; железнодоро́жный конду́ктор - railway conductor; нача́льство - brass, authority; дать ду́ба - умереть - to die, pass away.
