Question

Переведите пожалуйста The animals had their breakfast, and then Snowball and Napoleon called them together again. "Comrades," said Snowball, "it is half past six and we have a long day before us. Today we begin the hay harvest (сенокос). But there is another matter that must be done first." The pigs now revealed that during the past theree months they had taught themselves to read and write from an old spelling book which had belonged to Mr Jones's children. They explained that by their studies of the past three months the pigs had succeeded in reducing the principles of Animalism to seven commandments. These seven commandments would now be written on the wall; they would form an unalterable law by which all the animals on Animal Farm must live for ever after. With some difficulty (for it is not easy for a pig to balance himself on a ladder) Snowball climbed up and set to work. The commandments were written on the wall in great white letters that could be read thirty yards away. They ran thus: THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS 1. WHATEVER GOES UPON TWO LEGS IS AN ENEMY. 2. WHATEVER GOES UPON FOUR LEGS, OR HAS WINGS, IS A FRIEND. 3. NO ANIMAL SHALL WEAR CLOTHES. 4. NO ANIMAL SHALL SLEEP IN A BED. 5. NO ANIMAL SHALL DRINK ALCOHOL. 6. NO ANIMAL SHALL KILL ANY OTHER ANIMAL. 7. ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL. Snowball read it aloud for the benefit of the others. All the animals nodded (кивали) in complete agreement, and the cleverer ones at once began to learn the commandments by heart. It was soon found that many animals such as the sheep, hens and ducks were unable to learn the Sevev Commandments by heart. After much thought Snowball declared that the Seven Commandments could be reduced to a single saying, namely:"Four legs good, two legs bad." This, he said. contained the essential principle of Animalism.

Answer 1

Животные позавтракали, а потом Снежок и Наполеон снова созвали их вместе. - Товарищи, - сказал Снежок, - уже полшестого, а у нас длинный день впереди.

Сегодня мы начинаем сенокос. Но есть еще один вопрос, который необходимо решить в первую очередь. "Свиньи нам показали, что в течение последних трех месяцев

они научились читать и писать по старому букварю, который принадлежал детям мистера Джонса. Они рассказали  о своих  исследованиях прошлого.

За три месяца свиньям удалось свести принципы Анимализма к семи заповедям. Эти семь заповедей будут теперь написаны на стене; они образуют непреложный закон, по которому все животные на ферме животных должны жить вечно с этих пор. С некоторым трудом (ибо свинье нелегко балансировать

самой на лестнице) Снежок забрался наверх и принялся за работу. Заповеди были написаны на стене большими белыми буквами, которые можно было прочитать с тридцати ярдов.

Они гласили следующее:

СЕМЬ ЗАПОВЕДЕЙ

1. ЧТО ходит НА ДВУХ НОГАХ, ЭТО ВРАГ.

2. ВСЕ, ЧТО ходит НА ЧЕТЫРЕХ НОГАХ ИЛИ ИМЕЕТ КРЫЛЬЯ, ЯВЛЯЕТСЯ ДРУГОМ.

3. НИ ОДНО ЖИВОТНОЕ НЕ ДОЛЖНО НОСИТЬ ОДЕЖДУ.

4. НИ ОДНО ЖИВОТНОЕ НЕ ДОЛЖНО СПАТЬ В ПОСТЕЛИ.

5. НИ ОДНО ЖИВОТНОЕ НЕ ДОЛЖНО УПОТРЕБЛЯТЬ АЛКОГОЛЬ.

6. НИ ОДНО ЖИВОТНОЕ НЕ ДОЛЖНО УБИВАТЬ ДРУГИХ ЖИВОТНЫХ.

7. ВСЕ ЖИВОТНЫЕ РАВНЫ МЕЖДУ СОБОЙ.

Снежок прочел всё вслух на благо остальных. Все животные кивали в полном согласии, и более умные сразу начали учить

заповеди наизусть.

Вскоре выяснилось, что многие животные, такие как овцы, куры и утки, не смогли выучить семь заповедей наизусть. После долгих раздумий Снежок заявил, что семь заповедей можно свести к одной поговорке, а именно: "четыре ноги-хорошо, две-плохо." Это, - сказал он основной принцип Анимализма.

Answer 2

The Seven Commandments of Animalism

In the novel "Animal Farm" by George Orwell, the animals had their breakfast, and then Snowball and Napoleon called them together again. Snowball addressed the animals, stating that it was half past six and they had a long day ahead of them. He announced that they would begin the hay harvest that day, but there was another matter that must be done first. The pigs revealed that they had taught themselves to read and write from an old spelling book which had belonged to Mr. Jones's children. They explained that by their studies of the past three months, the pigs had succeeded in reducing the principles of Animalism to seven commandments. These seven commandments would now be written on the wall and would form an unalterable law by which all the animals on Animal Farm must live forever after.

The seven commandments were as follows: 1. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. 2. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. 3. No animal shall wear clothes. 4. No animal shall sleep in a bed. 5. No animal shall drink alcohol. 6. No animal shall kill any other animal. 7. All animals are equal.

Snowball read the commandments aloud for the benefit of the others, and all the animals nodded in complete agreement. However, it was soon found that many animals, such as the sheep, hens, and ducks, were unable to learn the Seven Commandments by heart. After much thought, Snowball declared that the Seven Commandments could be reduced to a single saying, namely: "Four legs good, two legs bad," which he said contained the essential principle of Animalism
