Dzięki, bo już sobie wyobrażałam eunucha wytwarzającego materiał na poczekaniu Laughing

Przydadzą mi się te Twoje lekcje angielskiego Very Happy

Ewelina

Dopiero teraz udało mi się dopaść tekst Smile

Dobre, zwłaszcza ten eunuch wytwarzający materiał Surprised

Z francuskiego wyłapałam, że to o ciuchach (haute) pour - dla, na, tete - łepek, głowa? inferieure - dolna? Ciekawie się zapowiada ... Czyżby zaczęły lubić Khaleda?

Mój francuski jest wybitnie słownikowy - czyli szukam po słownikach Razz

Ale wypadało zapowiedzieć.

It turned out that the women came to help us change. Obviously the kind of clothes Khaled wore were indeed meant for me. Eve’s dress was fairly light, but covered decently all the right places. It felt embarrassing to have to change in front of these women, but it had to be, I guess.

They paid special attention to making Eve beautiful. I felt almost like a female Arabic warrior; truth be told, the clothes were quite comfortable. The women treated me differently, showed me a different kind of respect than they showed Eve. They might have seen her as Khaled’s favourite, which thought scares us.

Later we were led out of the tent. They seemed to strike camp. Khaled approached us, his eyes smiling; his face was covered, but he pulled the fabric aside. Eve stepped behind me; in fact, I was a bit scared myself, but at least I had the freedom of movement to fight him. He showed no intention of being aggressive, however; he showed to the horses and asked, “ ’orse? Camel?” His English is dreadfully tortured with the French accent, but rather understandable. I preferred a horse, and asked for one for Eve. He shook his head and argued that a camel would be preferable for her; he showed us a pretty litter secured on the camel’s back and repeated, “Camel,” indicating Eve. Unsure as to what he may have in mind, I resigned myself to a camel, too. I’d rather not that they part us.

Before we were brought up on the camel, Khaled managed to somehow get around me to Eve and held her chin, then touched her hair. “Beauty,” he said to her and turned to me. “Beauty,” he repeated with a smile, bowing his head to me. “Vous êtes très belle.” [“You (both) are very beautiful” – chronicler’s annotation] Then we set out.

We don’t know where he is taking us.

Ufff! Przeczytałam, ale jutro, około południa przeczytam jeszcze raz, bo nie jestem czy wszystko dobrze zrozumiałam.

AMG

Zdolna jesteś, wierzę w Ciebie. Patrz, jak już dobrze Ci idzie!

Ewelina

Jak kiedyś wspomniałam, trening i potrzeba czynią mistrza. Do swojej pracy magisterskiej tłumaczyłam artykuł z niemieckiego, pomimo, że ja nie znalam tego języka, a mój Tata kategorycznie odmówił pomocy, chociaż znał. Sama się męczyłam nad luftem i kaltetechniką Wink

To ja już też jestem gotowa na ciąg dalszy. Ciekawe, gdzie je zabierają.

AMG

No to ciąg dalszy.

Third day with Khaled – 22.10. (Sarah)
He gave me a horse today, although I protested. All right, it IS more comfortable for me than reclining in the litter up on the camel all day, at least I feel I’m on the move and in control of the horse. Thankfully, we stayed beside Eve’s camel, so I could keep an eye on her. Surprisingly, Khaled started a conversation with me. He asked our names, wanted to know about our families and where we were from. He himself gives no more details on his name than we already know; he claims Ahmed to be his family, but once I asked for details, he said Ahmed were his servant. I’m not sure I understand his thinking in this respect. I wanted to know where he came from, but the answering gesture of his hand was – vague, to say the least. His eyes are like two black gems in black exotic setting; Europeans don’t tend to have such. He claims he’s not French, although it took a moment of hesitation on his part; neither does he admit being an Arab; my next detailed questions as to his origin are answered with a single ‘ailleurs’ – elsewhere. A mysterious guy, I say. On the other hand, he wants to know a lot about Eve: family, friends, steady friends, character, favourite activities, abilities – I’m not sure what he wants of her, but dadgum it if I don’t stand up and stop him once he tries anything. And nothing stops a Cartwright once she makes up her mind; just let him think of trying...

Ewelina

Nie mogę znaleźć znaczenia "dadgurn", ale Sarah chyba zaczyna ulegać urokowi Khaleda i zastanawia się kim jest? Czyżby jednak nie Arab? I jakie ma zamiary? No i dlaczego tak się o wszystko wypytuje?

AMG

"Dadgum it" i "dadburn it" to były wyrażenia dość często używane przez Hossa jako zamienniki brzydkich słów.

Ewelina

Czyżby Sarah miała coś wspólnego z Hossem ? Już sama nie wiem. Co dalej? Chociaż chyba trzeba poczekać na Rikę...

AMG a mogłabyś jeszcze potłumaczyć ten fragment "Unsure as to what he may have in mind, I resigned myself to a camel, too. I’d rather not that they part us. "

Sarah zrezygnowała z konia... na rzecz wielbłąda, czy dobrze rozumiem. I w drugim zdaniu chodzi o to, że nie chce, aby je rozdzielano? Ale czy to znaczy, że jechały razem na jednym zwierzęciu? Czy na wielbłądzie to możliwe.

A tak w ogóle może byś założyła jakiś wątek o nauce języków obcych, skoro masz z tym styczność na co dzień. Może znasz jakieś strony internetowe albo narzędzia on-line, jakie my jeszcze nie znamy, można by o takich sprawach pogadać.
