Question

Помогите пожалуйста с английским.Перевести текст и ответить на вопросы к нему.Food has many meanings for us. But when a group of people gather together the process of eating is always more about nourishment. When we lived in tribes everyone may have crowded round the carcass. But you can be sure that it was the warrior man who ate first and took the best bits.And the women and children were served last and got leftovers.It has never been the tradition in Britain for children to be brought upclose to their parents.If the children had not been sent away to school they ate in the kitchen or in the nursery.In Victorian times family meals were held on special occasion.But these again were occasions where power and importance were demonstrated.The father took precedence over all others.Childrenwere not allowed to speak until spoken to.And they had to follow a set of rules as proper behavior at the table.Today many parents still impose the rule that a child must ask permission to leave the table.This rule certainly suggests that children have been forced to come to the table and would really prefer to eat elsewhere.Вопросы:1.What did "food" mean when we lived in tribes? 2.When are children and women are served?3.What tradition was in Britain?4.Who took precedence over others?5. What weren't children allowed to do? 6. What rule do many people still impose

Answer 1

Еда много значит для нас. Но когда группа людей собирается вместе, процесс еды уже больше, чем просто питание. Когда мы жили племенами, каждый мог столпиться вокруг туши. Но, будьте уверены, это был воин, который ел первым и выбирал лучшик куски. И женщины и дети ели последними и получали остатки. В Британии никогда не было традицией находиться рядом со своими родителями. Если дети не были посланы в школу, они ели на кухне или в детской. В викторианскую эпоху семейные обеды устраивались лишь по особому случаю. Но это вновь были случаи, когда демонстрировались сила и значительность. Отец брал превосходство над всеми остальными. Детям не разрешалось разговаривать, пока с ними не заговорят. И они должны были следовать ряду правил надлежащего поведения за столом. На сегодняшний день многие родители всё еще устанавливают правило, по которому ребёнок не может выйти из-за стола без разрешения. Это, конечно, предполагает, что дети были вынуждены сесть за стол и действительно предпочли бы поесть в другом месте. 

Answer 2

1. When we lived in tribes, "food" meant nourishment and survival. It was a means of sustenance for the whole community.

2. In traditional settings, children and women were served last and got leftovers after the men, particularly the warrior man, had eaten and taken the best bits.

3. In Britain, it was not the tradition for children to be brought up close to their parents. If the children had not been sent away to school, they ate in the kitchen or in the nursery.

4. In Victorian times, the father took precedence over all others during family meals. It was a demonstration of power and importance.

5. Children were not allowed to speak until spoken to during family meals in Victorian times, and they had to follow a set of rules for proper behavior at the table.

6. Many parents still impose the rule that a child must ask permission to leave the table, suggesting that children have been forced to come to the table and would really prefer to eat elsewhere.
