Hi guys! So, I've been talking with someone online from Russia lately, and I really
wanted to share this link with her: http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=8Lm6pEhykhs&feature=channel_video_title But, her English is not good enough to really understand what is being said, so I was wondering if any of you guys would help me and an translate it for me. I also noticed that the "Interactive Transcript" button only translates to German and Italian, so there's a chance that we'd be able to have the user upload the russian one as well. So, here it guys: From this distant vantage point the earth may not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot, That's here, that's home, that's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, everyone you've ever heard of, Every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate, or joy and suffering, Thousands of confident religions, ideologies and economic doctrines, Every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creater and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasent, every young couple in love, every mother and father, every hopeful child, every great hunter and explorer, Every teacher of morales, every corrupt politician, every super star, every supreme leader, Every saint and sinner in the history of our species, Lived there, on the moat of dust, suspended in a sun beam. The earth, is a very small stage In a vast cosmic arena, Think of the rivers of blood Spilled by all those generals emperors, so that in glory and triumph, they can become the momentary masters, of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel, by the scarcely distinguishable of some other corner, How frequent their misunderstandings. How eager they are to kill one another How fervent their hatreds, Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, The delusion that we have some privileged position in the universe, Are challenged by this point of pale light, Our planet, is a lonely speck, in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity in all this vastness, there is no hint tha help will come from elsewhere. To save us, from ourselves. The earth is the only world now to harbor life so far, There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit? Yes, Settle? Not yet. Like it our not, the earth is where we make our stand. It has been said, that astronomy is a humbling and character building experience, There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human folly, than his distant image, of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, And to preserve, and cherish, the Pale Blue Dot. The only home, we've ever known. *End* Yes, I know it's a lot to write out, but any help would be appreciated. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Here's a rough translation, while it won't win any literary awards, it should be enough to get the point across.
Отсюда, из этой далекой точки, Земля, кажется, не представляет никакого особенного интереса. Но для нас, все совсем по другому. Представьте еще раз эту точечку - это здесь, это дом, это мы. Тут, все кого вы любите, все кого вы знаете, все о ком вы когда-либо слышали, все люди когда-либо существовавшие, прожили тут свои жизни. В совокупности, радости и страдания, тысячи религий, идеологий и экономических доктрин, все охотники и собиратели, все храбрецы и трусы, все создатели и разрушители цивилизации, все короли и крестьяне, все молодые влюбленные пары, все отцы и матери, все дети полные надежд, все великие изобретатели и исследователи, все учителя морали и нравственности, все коррумпированные политики, все супер-звезды, все верховные лидеры, все святые и грешники за историю человечества жили там, на этой пылинке, зависшей в луче солнечного света. Земля - лишь маленькая сцена в большой космической арене. Подумайте о реках крови пролитой всеми генералами, императорами, чтобы во имя славы и торжества, они могли стать хоть на миг, владыками лишь небольшой частички этой пылинки. Подумайте о нескончаемых жестокостях причиненных одними жителями уголка этой маленькой точки другим, едва отличимым от них, жителям в другом ее уголке. Как многократны недоразумения между ними. Как сильно они стремяться убивать друг друга. Как горяча их ненависть. Наше позерство, наши надуманная важность, наше глубокое заблуждение, что мы обладаем привилегированной позицией во вселенной, оспариваются этой бледной точечкой света. Наша планета - одинокая песчинка в огромной всеобволакивающей космической темноте. Во мраке космических просторов, нет ни намека на то, что можно ожидать помощи извне, чтобы спасти нас от нас самих. Земля - единственный мир где приютилась жизнь. Некуда больше, по-крайней мере в ближайшем будущем, человеческому роду переселиться. Погостить - да, поселиться - пока нет. Нравиться вам это или нет, Земля - наш оплот. Астрономия, что говориться, делает нас скромнее и формирует характер. Пожалуй нет лучшего примера человеческой глупости и безрассудства, чем этот маленький символ нашего мира. Мне кажется, он подчеркивает нашу ответственность быть добрее друг с другом, хранить и лелеять, Бледную Голубую Точку - единственный дом, который у нас есть.

I'd hate to start a new thread on this, but I don;t know where else to post this.
I've been speaking to a Russian lately, and she said this: "я с тебя херею, фигею". I tried looking it up with many different sources, but "херею, фигею" doesn't even seem to be a word! Perhaps someone could shed some light on the subject? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I found this:
Вместо «Я херею» мы часто говорим «Я в трансе. Фигеть: см. восхищаться, удивляться, становиться невменяемым, уставать, сходить с ума 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That's rather confusing. Where did you find this information anyway? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Usually you can find this type of information by googling словарь yourwordhere.
фигеть, хереть: см. восхищаться, удивляться, становиться невменяемым, уставать, сходить с ума You should also probably know that both words are slang but хереть is a curse word, while фигеть could well be used by preschoolers in polite company. The above definition is most likely what your friend meant, and is/was inoffensive towards you per se, but be aware that this is also somewhat incomplete, as it can be used in another (usually) offensive manner. Be aware of the difference: хирЕть – слабеть, худеть херЕть – наглеть, толстеть фигеть - наглеть The first is a somewhat rare archaic, but nonetheless literary word, whereas the second one is a very common slang slash curse word. You'll most likely hear the second word and it's less curse-like companion as охерел/офигел meaning обнаглел. You could also hear "что-то ты похерел" meaning "gained weight", or "что-то ты похирел/захирел" meaning you look sick or sickly thin. (No such meanings for фигеть). P.S. If you feel that you're at a sufficiently high level of Russian and you enjoy using slang and cursewords, I'd recommend Энциклопедия хулиганствующего ортодокса by Иосиф Раскин or some other such resource that will show you the culture behind русский мат while providing you with lots of primarily dirty jokes, limericks, and anecdotes, as well as some etymology and explanations of those. Or you can stick to classics of literature, and leave picking up slang to firsthand communication, that's cool too. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
