If you remember, we had the following text last week. I asked you to work on it. Did you listen to what I said? Great students!!
All right, let us take a look at the text once more:
The text:
I don’t like her!
Bob goes to a new school.
One day, he comes back from the school.
“Bob, do you like your new teacher?” his mother asks him.
“I don’t like her,” Bob says in reply.
“Why?” asks his mother.
“Because, first she says that three and three is six. Then, she says that two and four is six too! So, I don’t like her!!”
You already know the new words, don’t you? If not, please visit the Useful Drills 129 again!
Ok, here we go:
I don’t like her = من او را دوست ندارم! /mæn u: ra: du:st næda:ræm/.
This is the formal translation, or the book style, which is ok.
However, there is an easier way to translate this.
I don’t like her = دوسش ندارم! /du:sesh næda:ræm/.
Bob goes to a new school. = باب به مدرسه جدیدی می رود. /ba:b beh mædreseh ye jædidi mi rævæd/.
One day, he comes back from the school. = یک روز او از مدرسه بر می گردد. /yek ru:z u: æz mædreseh bær mi gærdæd/.
“Bob, do you like your new teacher?” his mother asks him. = مادرش از او می پرسد: “باب – آیا معلم جدیدت را دوست داری؟” /ma:dæræsh æz u: mi porsæd, “ba:b, a:ya: moællem e jædidæt ra: du:st da:ri?”
“I don’t like her,” Bob says in reply. = باب در جواب می گوید: “دوسش ندارم!” /ba:b dær jæva:b mi gu:yæd: “du:sesh næda:ræm/.
“Why?” asks his mother. = مادرش می پرسد: “چرا؟” /ma:dæræsh mi porsæd: “chera:?”
“Because, first she says that three and three is six. Then, she says that two and four is six too! So, I don’t like her!!”
“برای اینکه او اول می گوید که سه به اضافه سه می شود شش. بعد می گوید که دو به اضافه چهار هم می شود شش . پس من دوسش ندارم!”
/bæra: ye in keh u: ævvæl mi gu:yæd keh seh beh eza:feh ye seh mi shævæd shesh. Bæd mi gu:yæd keh do beh eza:feh ye chæha:r hæm mi shævæd shesh. Pæs mæn du:sesh næda:ræm!”
NOTE: In all sentences above, you may replace جدید with تازه /ta:zeh/. They are almost the same.
All right,
It was very easy, wasn’t it? Good!
So, because both you and I did great today, I have a very small gift for you! Please don’t forget to see Useful Drills page now!
See you next week and Khoda Hafez!
