Урок 38. 1. My congratulations! Your book has been published! This information was published not long ago though; we decided to turn to new facts before we were forbidden to work in this field. It isn’t worth getting fresh with your co-workers even if your book has already been published and has caused a sensation. I get cold feet when I see that heaven and earth have been moved in my house, nevertheless my book hasn’t been published yet. 2. His car was damaged badly during the accident a few weeks ago and after that he began to be religious about driving. Since childhood I’ve been religious about everything that deals with healthy way of life. You can’t feel strongly about his plans, can you? He does nothing in fact and just goes through emotions but to tell the truth, very skillfully. 3. To tell the truth, I don’t feel strong about our government because it just goes through emotions and keeps on taking care of its interest. 4. He never keeps his temper and always vents his bad spirit on unprotected and meek/ mild beings. We have never been allowed to vent our bad spirit on buyers. We are never allowed to vent our bad spirit on freshmen. If I get fresh with you and vent my bad spirit on you, you will feel sorry for it! 5. I seldom pay attention to passers-by. I’m seldom paid attention to. I’ve just paid attention to that handsome young man who is standing by the window and going through emotions. I’m so happy: I’ve been paid attention to! Why am I never paid attention to? I had paid attention to her before she began to tell about her problems. You have been paid attention to since birth. You were paid attention to at the competition, which took place in Moscow last year. Урок 39. 1. He always plays up to teachers. He always tried to keep up with the Joneses and played up to the rich. Judging by her step and way of behaving she tends to keep to herself nevertheless she is considered a big shot and she is always played up to. 2. Tramps are always offended and abased. You have been offending me since I came into this room. Hardly had I opened the mouth when I got it in the neck, honestly speaking, no offence intended though. If you offend him, I’ll understand that you have taken a turn for the worse. 3. I can’t keep up with fashion because I don’t earn enough. This money had been earned honestly before he was accused of stealing. It looks as if you took a turn for the better: last year you earned a lot of money and spent everything on charity, didn’t you? 253
