Прислали мне тут ссылку на английский перевод моего рассказа "Диалоги с животными". Забавно почитать себя же на другом языке - вроде бы и слова и выражения всё те же, но что-то исчезло, а что-то наоборот добавилось. В английском я не настолько силен, чтобы распознать ошибки перевода, но общее ощущение, как мне кажется, передано верно.

Кстати, на днях появится продолжение диалогов.

I put a key in the door and hear her meaow. Long and happy. Full illusion of happiness of sweet cat whem loving owner comes home.

But it's not so. I open the door.

- Meaow! – Vaska (this a name for male , but it's a female), Vaska lays on the floor and begins to rub it with her wool.

- (Me) What ara crying, my favorite pet? We you bored?

- (Vaska) Aha, bored... Did you bring food? – and puts his black muzzle into my bag.

- Food? What food? Hey, go out of the bag!

- What?? Cat's certainly! Where is it?!

- Cat's – are they from cats?

- No, from owners! I didn't understand where are they?

- You didn't eat all nuts. Go away.

- I don't like them...

- It's food for energetic cats.

- I'm sick from them.

- You drink some water.

- Did you give it to me?

- Yes.

- Was it yesterday? I've drank it all. Cats drink 300 ml of water everyday. And it must be fresh, but not yestarday's.

- Shut up.

- Ooooh? And what is it in the bag? MIIILLLKKK!!!!!! MEAOW!! ))))))))

- Ha, no!

- What?! In the bag, you've brought! Meaow! Yeah! Milk!

- Orange is such fruit! If you don't believe smell it.

- Smells untestable.

- And what do you find in fruits...?

- And have you ever eaten vegetables.

- And what is it?

- Look in refrigator. Cabbage for example:)

- Fooo.

- Ok. stop rubbing. I know that it's not because you love me... Come and eat some "Darling" nuts (I pat some food into her spot).

- Yeah give it to me.

- Mrrrr... I am speaking not with but with nuts. Stop it and let me eat.

- Ok. Here is some water.

- And there is really no milk?

- Really. I'll buy some tomorrow.

Large cat's muzzle comes from the door:
