up-to-date and advanced people
Oct. 2nd, 2011 05:12 pmКуда там Атласу Шраггеду, тут в книжке про Нарнию обнаруживаются полезные воспитания в гораздо блоее художественной форме. Совершенно характерный отрицательный персонаж:
They were very up-to-date and advanced people. They were vegetarians, non-smokers and tee-totallers, and wore a special kind of underclothes. In their house was very little furniture and very few clothes on beds and the windows were always open.
...
"Ugh, take it away", wailed Eustace. "I hate mice. And I never could bear performing animals. They're silly and vulgar and -- and sentimental".
...
<после того, как он для развлечения дернул мыша за хвост, а мыш это дело так не оставил>
"Stop it", spluttered Eustace, "go away. Put that thing away. It's not safe. Stop it, I say. I'll tell Caspian. I'll have you muzzled and tied up".
"Why do not you draw your own sword, poltroon?" cheeped the Mouse. "Draw and fight or I'll beat you black and blue with the flat".
"I haven't got one," said Eustace. "I'm a pacifist. I don't believe in fighting".
Вот такие книжки надо детям читать. Интересно, а в фильме это пропустили, или вырезали? Или фильм до этой сказки не дошел? Непонятно только, что имеется в виду под special kind of underclothes.
