Английские штампы - Диалекты

 

Работа над английскими штампами в привязке к разным эмоциям и ситуациям естественным образом навела меня на мысль о штампах диалектных. Это тема не настолько актуальна, как первая, однако она сегодня весьма полезна при просмотре тех же сериалов, снятых в разных англоязычных странах, а кроме того, любопытна и забавна сама по себе.

 

Я представил себе, как один и тот же типичный диалог может прозвучать в устах средних американцев, лондонцев, шотландцев, негритосов, ирландцев, жителей Нью-Йорка, калифорнийцев, техасцев, австралийцев и валлийцев.

 

Представим себе, как двое друзей, Элис и Бен, встречаются в кофейне и обсуждают предстоящий день. Понятный нам диалог на нейтральном английском звучит так:

 

Alice: Hi, Ben! How’s your day going so far?
Ben: Pretty good, thanks! I’ve just finished a project at work, so I’m feeling accomplished. How about you?
Alice: Not bad. I’ve been running errands all morning, but now I can finally relax. Have you had lunch yet?
Ben: Not yet. I was thinking of grabbing something quick. Any recommendations?
Alice: There’s a new Italian place down the street. It’s supposed to be amazing.
Ben: Sounds perfect. Let’s check it out together!

 

А теперь – дискотека!
