I'll map an approximate English language translation this way: "вновь" = "anew" "снова" = "again" "опять" = "all over (again)" "ещё раз" = "one more time" And here are a few examples of usage from literature and songs: 1/ И сердце бьется в упоенье, И для него воскресли вновь И божество и вдохновенье, И жизнь, и слезы и любовь А. С. Пушкин [I remember a wonderful moment As before my eyes you appeared, Like a vision, fleeting, momentary, Like a spirit of the purest beauty. A. Pushkin ] 2/ Снова выплыли годы из мрака И шумят, как ромашковый луг. Мне припомнилась нынче собака, Что была моей юности друг. С. Есенин [Again the years of the past had emerged from the darkness And loud, as a chamomile meadow, they rollick. I was reminded today of a dog Who was a dedicated friend of my youth. S. Yesenin] 3/ И вот они опять, знакомые места, Где жизнь отцов моих, бесплодна и пуста, Текла среди пиров, бессмысленного чванства, Разврата грязного и мелкого тиранства; Где рой подавленных и трепетных рабов Завидовал житью последних барских псов, А.Н. Некрасов [And here it is again, a familiar place, where the lives of my forefathers, barren and empty, were passing among feasts, wanton arrogance, debauchery, dirty and petty tyranny, where a swarm of suppressed and trembling slaves envied the lives of the most pitiful master's dogs A. Nekrasov] 4a/ Ещё раз тебе повторяю: "Не бывать тому!" [I'll repeat it one more time, "That is not to be!"] 4b/ "Вдоль дороги - лес густой с бабами-ягами, а в конце дороги той - плаха с топорами. [...] Эх, раз, еще раз, еще много-много раз..." В. Высоцкий, а refrain from a Gypsy song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj3pd-a-js8 [Along the road is a thick forest peppered with Baba-Yagas, and at the end of the road - an executionist's head block with axes. Ah, once again, many, many times again ...] 3 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||
