"She is a keeper"

[nastya12]

Я бы даже сказал не бибилейское, а Тарантиновское

да, в данном случае Тарантиновское.... классный Тарантино!

...У меня, наверное, вопрос к тем, кто хорошо помнит русскую версию.Меня недавно спрашивали, но я не знаю или не помню, и самой интересно. Как звали Pumpkin и Honey Bunny (пара, которая грабила ресторанчик) в нашем Pulp Fiction? Вот этих -

Honey Bunny: I love you, Pumpkin.
Pumpkin: I love you, Honey Bunny.
Pumpkin: Everybody be cool this is a robbery!

во втором. IMHO, здесь "it's a keeper"= "это место на Guemes Islands стоит того, чтобы его запомнить и к нему вернуться"

Недавно встретил фразу "This site is a keeper" в том контексте, что site стоит занести в Favorites и почаще там бывать. Кстати к вопросу, американизм ли это, я видел "is a keeper" пару раз в канадских online-газетах. Английские сайты тоже встречались, но ссылки были в основном на форумы и разные homepages.

А вообще мне этот топик жутко понравился. Надо, наверное, культуру подымать, в театр какой-нибудь сходить, что-ли.

...нее... тогда уж лучше в кино, а то в театре никаких новеньких expressions и не услышишь...

На самом деле мне не столько топик, сколько оффтопик понравился, так что поход в театр планировался как воспитательное а не образовательное мероприятие. Впрочем пошел я таки в кино, на "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Следуя Webstery (хотя Ниро Вульф и любил растапливать им камин, но все же)

keeper имеет несколько значений
1 : one that keeps: as a : PROTECTOR b : GAMEKEEPER c : WARDEN d : CUSTODIAN e chiefly British : CURATOR
2 : any of various devices for keeping something in position
3 a : one fit or suitable for keeping; especially : a fish large enough to be legally caught and kept b : a domestic animal considered with respect to how easy it is to care for *an easy keeper*
4 : an offensive football play in which the quarterback runs with the ball
соответственно 1 и 3 значения допустимы. Правильное следует из контекста, который не приведен.

It means she is one worthy of courtship.
One worthy to marry.

If it is pleased to you,

I will now tell you of the "origions" of "she is a keeper"

Fishing. Fishing is the origions of "she is a keeper"

From "fishing" phrase is used to bring attention to "fish" that are 1) captured, kept, and taken home 2) too small, too large, wrong species, to be "thrown back" to the waters.

"She is a keeper" is phrase used to bring attention to the woman who like the fish in 1 is of desired quality

I hope this is understood,

Ummmm.... no.

[Amber Morgan]

Phrase "She is a keeper" compares woman to fish.

Fish are taken from the hook or tossed back to the river, no?

Amber

[Amber Morgan]

sorry

but the saying comes from comparing the woman to fishing

That is pretty clear. I was referring to your deft use of English language, in jest.

[Pink Monkey]

That is pretty clear. I was referring to your deft use of English language, in jest.

Deft or daft?

Anyway - your reply should have been:

That is being pretty clear. Your deft use of English language was referred to by me, in jest.

It is hoped by me that it is understood by you.

[Amber Morgan]

Deft Daft may I venture Drab

You are both correct

Thank you

[Pink Monkey]

Amber Morgan, I was just having fun. I wasn't making fun of you. Au contraire, your English is very good I apologise if I offended you.

[Amber Morgan]

[ color=..blue][/..color ] Pink Monkey No
worries I was not offended I was happy I should be careful to be
polite I do not belong here I am an American just learning your
language which I find to be of great beauty and depth In the future I
would like to find a russian conversation partner in the Tacoma area
so I can help them with the nuance of english and they can help Me
with the basics of Russian I am not taking Russian language classes
They are not offered at my school But the Russian speakers in the
language lab were kind to Me and gave Me this link after
interrogation:.mrgreyen: I have found much help here following
the links and cant help but to speak on occassion if I have the
correct answer from the english perspective Though I really have been
learning more about my own language and how to learn language from
this privet board I will support the board soon enough when I am able
I often have difficulty with my own language It is not hard to read
speak or write it but often its logic is full of fallacy and goes
against its own rules I am never offended with cracks at the english
language So often they are very true and good to hear Keep them coming
please and Thanks Nile and Monkey for poking fun at Me you dont
know how greatly it lightened my mood:.radio%: :.shink:
