Ce articol de rahat.
He shot me a puzzled look. “What crisis?”
“The global financial crisis!”
“Oh, that. I scratch my head and try to remember it. It’s something we see on TV. We perceive it as distant from us.”
Oh RLY! Daia in ultimii 2 ani vanzarile la magazine (alimentare mostly) au scazut la jumate... poate chiar la o treime.
...Europe’s poorest (and only Communist) country would appear to have nothing at all to boast of.
Cre ca domn redactor ar fi trebuit sa citeasca wikipedia nainte. In Moldova nu mai sunt comunistii la putere de prin Iulie 2009.
“We never think of going to the bank for a loan or using a credit card,” Roman told me. “We operate on a cash-only system here.”
Hahaha! Creditele in Moldova se dau greu ca dracu - foarte greu; asa ca tot moldoveanu opereaza pe sistemul de cash-only
adica mere la
camatari (10% pe luna).
"Zbang! Un deget!"Roman affirmed this. “I keep all the money I have in a drawer. What I have is mine. We spend only what we have. And so I sleep well at night.”
I-ar tine la soseta numa ca moldovenii astia au bani de hartie si s-ar face ca dracu.
Voi face o traducere adaptata la urmatorul citat
Roman was dressed in stylish Western jeans and a denim jacket. He drives a Ford and, with his wife, owns a three-bedroom apartment (for which they paid cash) in the fashionable district around Chişinău’s version of the Arc de Triomphe, the Holy Gates. He represents, in sum, the debt-free middle class that arose across the former Soviet Union roughly during the time the credit boom was sweeping much of the West.
Roman era imbracat in niste blugi din Turcia sau Ucraina si o pufoaica de la Ucraineni. Conduce o masina straina (furata - nu poa sa iasa din tara cu ea) si impreuna cu nevasta-sa (probabil ca grasa) ii proprietar pe un apartament de 3 camere (cumparat probabil fix dupa revolutie cand fugeau cativa rusi din tara) situati la "Portile Orasului" (periferie, la iesire). El reprezinta smecherul ce a profitat dupa revolutie si acu are o masina cu care sa se dea mare.
“I feel sorry for people in the West,” he said. “Their financial system worked well for decades, and now it’s collapsed. You know, I feel blessed to have been born here.”
Traducere + mind reading:
Imi pare rau pentru oamenii din vest (ca deh, au plecat 2 milioane de moldoveni la munca in vest). Candva aia (vesticii) aveau de o mie de ori mai multi bani decat noi... acu au doar de o suta. Ma simt
binecuvantat ca m-am nascut aici. (futui mortii masii de muma ca m-a nascut in cloaca asta de tara... nu puteam sa fiu si eu neamtz sau macar tigan in romania).
No rly, chiar e posibil sa fie mandru ca ii moldovean. Most are... (inca n-am idee de ce).
