5. NUMERALS

5.1 Translate the following text.

a.Что лучше – часы, которые показывают правильное время лишь раз в год, или часы, что показывают верное время ежедневно дважды? (Which is better, a clock that is right only once a year, or a clock that is right twice every day?).

b.«Конечно, последние лучше», – ответишь ты без сомнения. (“The latter”, you reply, unquestionably).

c.Очень хорошо, а теперь – смотри. У меня есть двое часов: одни совсем не ходят, а другие – отстают на минуту в день. Какие бы ты предпочел? (Very good, now attend. I have two clocks: one doesn’t go at all, and the other loses a minute a day: which would you prefer?).

d.«Те, что отстают», отвечаешь ты, – «вне сомнения». (“The losing one”, you answer, “without a doubt”). А теперь, будь внимателен: те часы, что отстают на минуту в день, должны отстать на двенадцать часов, или на семьсот двадцать минут к тому времени, как вновь покажут правильное время, т. е. они будут идти верно лишь раз в два года. Тогда как другие, очевидно, показывают правильное время всякий раз, как подходит то время, которое они показывают, что случается дважды в день. Итак,

ты опроверг сам себя. (Now observe: the one which loses a minute a day has to lose twelve hours, or seven hundred and twenty minutes before it is right again, consequently it is right once in two years, whereas the other is evidently right as often as the time it points to come round, which happens twice a day. So you’ve contradicted yourself once.)

5.2 Translate the text – pay attention to the translation of the numerals.

We find ourselves today between a forest and an ocean – a forest of new knowledge and an ocean of need. We are generating more new knowledge in one year than we generated in a full decade less than half a life-span ago. In fact, if you look upon the last 50,000 years of man’s existence in terms of life-spans, the speed of our progress – the pace of change is readily apparent. Because 800 modern life-spans would bridge more than 50,000 years. But of those 800 people 650 would have spent their lives in caves or something worse; only the last 70 had any truly effective means of communicating with one another; only the last six ever saw a printed word; only the last six had any real means of measuring heat and cold; only the last four could measure time with any precision; only the last two used an electric motor; and many of the items that make up our material world were developed within the life-span of the 800th person.

Сегодня мы находимся между небом и землей – небом знаний и землей потребно-

стей. (We find ourselves today between a forest and an ocean – a forest of new knowledge and an ocean of need.) Мы создаем гораздо больше нового за год, чем делали это за целое десятилетие менее, чем 35–45 лет назад. (We are generating more new knowledge in one year than we generated in a full decade less than half a life-span ago.)

Действительно, если рассмотреть последние 50 000 лет существования человечества в единицах продолжительности жизни, то скорость нашего прогресса, темп перемен,

будет очевиден. (In fact, if you look upon the last 50,000 years of man’s existence in terms of life-spans, the speed of our progress – the pace of change is readily apparent.)

Потому что 800 сроков современной продолжительности жизни составили бы более

50 000 лет. (Because 800 modern life-spans would bridge more than 50,000 years.) Но из этих 800 человек 650 провели бы свою жизнь в пещерах или жилищах еще хуже;

(But of those 800 people 650 would have spent their lives in caves or something worse;)

лишь у последних 70 были бы действительно эффективные средства коммуникации друг с другом; (only the last 70 had any truly effective means of communicating with one another); только последние шесть когда-либо увидели бы печатное слово и имели бы приспособления для измерения температуры; (only the last six ever saw a printed word;) only the last six had any real means of measuring heat and cold); только послед-

ние четыре могли бы измерять время хоть с какой-нибудь точностью; (only the last four could measure time with any precision;) лишь последние два использовали бы электродвигатель; (only the last two used an electric motor); и многое из того, что со-

ставляет наш материальный мир, было разработано в течение жизни восьмисотого человека! (and many of the items that make up our material world were developed within the life-span of the 800th person.)

Reginald T. Brooks (b. Wandsworth, London, England, 1918; d. London, 1985) wrote this hymn in 1954 for the 150th anniversary of the British and Foreign Bible Society; it was first published in the 1964 Methodist Hymnal. The text has been altered for publication in the Psalter Hymnal. More comprehensive than the similar text at 277, Brooks’s hymn helps us offer thanks to God for the various ways in which the Word comes to us: through creation (st. 1); through Christ, the incarnate Word (st. 2); through the Bible, God’s written Word, published in many languages (st. 3-4); and through the Holy Spirit, who speaks to us within (st. 5).

Brooks was an ordained minister in the United Reformed Church in England and served as a radio and television producer for the Religious Broadcasting Department of the BBC. Always known as R. T. Brooks, he was educated at the London School of Economics and studied theology at Mansfield College, Oxford, England.

Liturgical Use:
The entire song is suitable for festive use at high points in the church year and for special events such as ordination, profession of faith, missions, Reformation, and more. Stanzas 1 through 3 (and perhaps 4) are suitable before the sermon, and stanza 5 is a fitting post-sermon response.
