" I have a dream..."

This phrase belongs to the fighter against racism in the United States Martin Luther King. He used it speaking about equal rights of all Americans and believing that his dream of just society would come true. To my mind, Obama`s election as a president is a good example that black Americans have followed his call for assertive selfhood, taking part in the ranks of professionals, intellectuals and political leaders. NO to racism, YES to common sense!

 

What is your attitude to the problem? Do you think Obama will make the United States flourish?

Translation of films

          Everyone knows that one of the component of any foreign film is its translation. We can say for sure that 80 % of the success of the film falls to the share of translation. In fact, the translation of high quality (in the first place) means having a good command of a native tongue.  Actually, in the article I`d like to draw your attention the author names several components: enough time for translation, its detailed editing and of course, profound knowledge of languages and wide outlook. Unfortunately, today we have a great volume of work (I mean, films for translation) and not enough good specialists to do it. Thus, we have that what we have.
