Radek Zelenka/David Nykl Appreciation, Thunk, Translation Thread

[Icie]

Heya gang, our Czeck speakers up for a translation request?

"The first life that your arrogance costs Rodney McKay I swear I will mark upon your flesh as it is marked upon your soul."

It's for a fanfic in case you haven't guessed, can you tell he's a tad upset?

I don't think I'd be able to translate THAT... I'm not poetic enough...


and I don't want certain someone to have stupid comments either...

[silverdamascus]

Hehe play nice kids. Am glad peeps like the dialogue though, always worry about putting words into the mouth of an established character people love. It can be a challenge for someone!

On an easier note anyone know the Czech word for "******"?

[watcher652]

Two more from Duet. Radek took his glasses off. Rodney clearly isn't happy.








Uh, the two statements have nothing to do with each other.

[Icie]

LMAO! I was wondering why isn't Rodney happy about Radek's glasses... LOL!

ZELENKA: "Thouhg I do miss them sometimes, I think the snazzy mic looks better than the glasses."
MCKAY: "I don't believe this."

MCKAY: "How could you do this to me?"

[Erin Olenko]

I prefer him without the glasses (also with)....he looks sexier without them.
And personal experience...the glasses usually get in the way when you are kissing their owner.

Come on people or am I to loose faith in you all? You'll have to drop the white coats and start growing pony tails and adopting american accents if this goes on!

The other phrase I can work without having in Czech but this one I can't people so rally round kids and lets go, lets go, lets go.

"Angel of Atlantis."

I'm assuming Atlantis is the same word but I need the grammer and if any little genius happens to know how close to the Czech word the Russian word for angel is you can hold the lab coats for a week.

Come on kids, gotta get this finished.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

[d3u5]

"Angel of Atlantis." - "Atlantidský anděl", or "Anděl Atlantidy"

[silverdamascus]

Hehehe sorry CeeKay! Alright, whiney uppity American accents. Better?
Whoo! D3, way to go, thanks for that.

[d3u5]

Hehehe sorry CeeKay! Alright, whiney uppity American accents. Better?
Whoo! D3, way to go, thanks for that.

Oh, I think now that better should be "Anděl z Atlantidy". I exact translation "Angel from Atlantis"...

[d3u5]

Whoo! D3, way to go, thanks for that.

Oh, I think now that better should be "Anděl z Atlantidy". In exact translation "Angel from Atlantis"...

[silverdamascus]

Ta very much D3. I probably should have given you the context, I don't quite know whats best for working with translations.

Zelenka's just had a talk with Dr Weir whose helped him feel a bit better, she tells him good night and as she walks out the door he tells her "Sleep well, Angel of Atlantis."

...okay, now I explain it that may seem a bit cheesy, ah well. Hope that helps with deciding which translation it should be. How you guys can cope with languages like this I've no idea

"Sleep well, Angel of Atlantis." would be "Spi sladce, ty můj atlantický anděli" or just "Atlantický anděli".

...yeah it's really hard and grammar sux, but it's my native language )

[silverdamascus]

Hehe bummer, ta greatly for taking the time to translate though.

Anyone prefer Zelenka's hair the kinda shorter one we see at first opposed to the longer one later on? Good to see it longish though, holding up the standard for men with long hair (despite Kavanaghs attempts to ruin the reputation) long before Dex arrived!
