English to Russian: An entry from Tom Felton's online blog
Source text - English 20th August 2004
Not much happening at the moment for me apart from working and the usual stuff. Have you ever tried to hire a video/dvd for your mum without her being there? A friend and I went to the video shop and I told my mum I would get a video for her as she wasn't doing much that night. She said to get one without violence, bad language, drugs, shoot outs etc!! You know a nice tame one! But she'd seen all the tame ones so I had to keep phoning her from the shop asking her if she'd seen all these films I'd picked. Eventually found one about a family in a castle and she liked it, so good result. My film was rubbish but hers was OK! Some you win, some you lose!
Only a week to go before the big exam results! And I will be in Oxford! So what do I do? Get my mum to go to school and pick up the envelope with the results and phone me or wait til I get home! Haven't decided what to do yet!
Lots of people still asking stuff like family stuff. I have 3 brothers, no sisters. Jonathan is 24, Chris is 23 next week, Ashley is 21 in 3 weeks time. I don't have any pets because my mum works full time and it wouldn't be fair to leave a pet. There's usually someone in our house but much as I would love a dog, we can't do it at the moment.
Favourite animal for me - a tiger. Favourite fish - carp of course! and I never eat fish!
Just to let you know I do not have an e mail address so DON'T RESPOND TO ANYONE SAYING THEY ARE ME. Please don't give out any of your personal information to anyone on the net or Instant Messenger or take phone calls from anyone saying it's me. If fans get a phone call, it's from my mum and she's genuine.
Just like to say thank you to lots of people. Thanks to Samantha Vorig from Illinois for the embroidered T F.Hope the cake that Asta made in Lithuania was good! Rohini's picture was really good of me next to my pond. Shame about the Hershey Kisses but they would melt!
Thanks to Aranya in India for the letter ( nice envelope!). Happy carping to Christine in Malaysia and thanks for the friendship bracelet - really loved your poem.
Katarsyna in Poland sent me a brilliant drawing of a bear and a 4 leaf clover - hope it brings me luck! Thanks very much. Also Rebecca from Meadow Brook in Arizona sent me a nice letter with lovely drawings.
A couple of questions asked of me. Do Daniel and I get on? Answer is yes - we talk films quite a lot. Leila in Fureau, France asked what role I would like to play if offered after Harry Potter films- I would love to play an action film with lots of special effects and a fit girl in it would be rather nice!
New photos coming your way soon - hopefully by Tuesday. Happy summer holidays
Последнее время моя жизнь не очень богата событиями, если не считать работы и повседневных дел. Вам случалось когда-нибудь выбирать видеофильм для вашей мамы, не взяв её с собой? Мы с другом пришли в салон видеопроката, и я сказал маме по телефону, что возьму какую-нибудь киношку для неё – всё равно ей было нечем заняться вечером. Она попросила что-нибудь без насилия, ругани, наркотиков, стрельбы и т.д.!! Хорошенькую такую нуднятину! Но все нудные фильмы она уже смотрела, и мне пришлось названивать ей из видеопроката и перечислять всё, что я выбрал. Наконец я нашёл что-то о семействе, живущем в замке, и мама одобрила. Результат отличный: тот фильм, который я взял для себя, оказался полной ерундой, а мамино кино – вполне ничего! Нет худа без добра!
Осталась всего неделя до результатов главного экзамена! И я в Оксфорде! Как мне лучше сделать: попросить маму зайти в школу, забрать конверт с результатом и позвонить мне – или же подождать моего возвращения? Я ещё не решил!
Многие всё ещё расспрашивают меня о семье. У меня 3 брата, сестёр нет. Джонатану 24, Крису исполнится 23 на следующей неделе, Эшли будет 21 через 3 недели. У меня нет домашних зверюшек, потому что у мамы полный рабочий день, и оставлять животных дома было бы нехорошо. У нас дома обычно кто-нибудь есть, но, как бы мне ни хотелось собаку, мы пока не можем её завести.
Моё любимое животное – тигр. Любимая рыба – конечно, карп! но я их не ем!
Просто чтобы вы знали: у меня нет электронного адреса, так что НЕ ОТВЕЧАЙТЕ ТОМУ, КТО ГОВОРИТ, ЧТО ЭТО Я! Пожалуйста, не давайте никакой персональной информации в сети, Instant Messenger'е или по телефону тому, кто представляется моим именем. Если фэнам звонят от меня, это может быть только моя мама - настоящая.
Хотелось бы многих поблагодарить. Спасибо Саманте Воридж из Иллинойса за вышивку T F Hope. Пирог, который сделала Аста из Литвы, был вкусный! Рисунок Рохини очень хорошо смотрится рядом с моим прудом. Так жаль, что конфеты «Hershey Kisses» растаяли!
Спасибо Аранье из Индии за письмо (красивый конверт!). Кристине из Малайзии - удачной ловли карпов и спасибо за браслет дружбы – мне в самом деле понравились твои стихи.
Катарсина из Польши прислала великолепный рисунок: медведь и четырёхлистный клевер. Надеюсь, он принесёт мне удачу! Большое спасибо. Ребекка из Медоу-Брук (Аризона) тоже прислала мне славное письмо с прекрасными рисунками.
Ещё парочка заданных мне вопросов. Ладим ли мы с Дэниелом? Ответ положительный – мы с ним довольно часто обсуждаем фильмы. Лейла из Фуа (Франция) спрашивает, какую роль я хотел бы сыграть после фильмов о Гарри Поттере, если бы мне предложили. Я бы с удовольствием сыграл в боевике с кучей спецэффектов и стройной девушкой в качестве партнёрши – это было бы здорово!
Ждите новые фотографии – надеюсь, будут ко вторнику. Удачных каникул!
First, I would like to make it clear about my specialization.
I am NOT Jack of all trades and master of none. I am Jack of these trades:
-Advertising / Public Relations,
-Politics,
-Linguistics,
-Mass Media / Multimedia
and master of these:
-Literature,
-Cinema, Film, TV, Drama,
-Games / Video Games (Computer Games). :)
In earnest, I graduated as a linguist, translator and interpreter (B.A. Degree in linguistics). Politics, mass media etc. is what I am taught to translate, and I do it well (as anything I undertake to do). But translating of literature, films and computer games is really a love of mine! That is what I do best and would really like to do all my life.
As for Music, it is my second profession: I graduated from a music college. Besides, I am acquainted with many musicians (by the way, linguists too), both theorists and performers, who can always be my competent revisers. So you can be sure that I am a professional in this field as well.
English to Russian translating is preferable.
Now about quality and rates.
I suppose that quality of the job done should be directly proportional to its rate, and I can guarantee very high quality of my work for you, at appropriate prices. I examine all potential job offers, and if I find YOUR rate for the WHOLE amount of job (e.g. translating of a book) reasonable, I will probably accept it. Also, I do not mind translating for charities if not too busy. As I have said, I am a professional and I know the worth of my job. However, DISCOUNTS within reasonable limits are POSSIBLE.
I believe that quality of the job done is usually inversely proportional to the speed at which the job is done. So if you are seeking for so-called ,,fast translators at dumping rates,, and are not interested in high quality of the translation - please keep seeking. Only persons who have such job as Schumacher brothers, can do it well ,,even,, at high speed. :)
As the proverb sais, haste makes waste, and it is YOUR MONEY that may go to waste, and YOUR BUSINESS that may suffer if you accept such method of translating.
And the last. If you all the same want high quality translation to be done in a short period of time, this will cost more than usual job: the faster the speed is, the greater amount of nerves is frayed, the larger the costs of the translator are. In other words, time is money.
So if you are here to get high-quality translation, you have come to the right page!

Here are my rates (just in case, because I am not sure if they are shown in my profile with all these changes of the design).
