Radek Zelenka/David Nykl Appreciation, Thunk, Translation Thread

[Atlantis1]

Thank you for the great translations. Sheppard gets some major competition from Dr Zelenka for me.

I'm looking forward to the last half of season one.

Here's a question: Think I could get away with posting the Czech version of Zelenka's speech in my sig, or would the translation be considered a spoiler for Rising?

Not really a spoiler, but it's awful large for a sig, isn't it?

[Elite Anubis Guard]

lol great thread and the pair of them are great together!

Not if she does it like this:

"Na dne more mame "failsafe" mechanismus. Obrovskou silou vytrhl kotvu mesta ze dna oceanu. My jsme .. Zhrozili jsme .. jsme .. Zhrozili jsme se. Neuveritelny. Co se to deje, a ten hluk. Cele mesto se traslo jako pri zemetreseni. To bylo neco neuveritelnyho. A najednou se hneme.
Cele mesto stoupalo, stoupalo nahoru, nahoru k hladine.
To, to bylo neco neuveritelnyho. A veze prorazily hladinu a vyjeli jsme nahoru, nahoru. Vody, vlny vodopady. Vsechno tece z tech vejsek a vystrelili jsme nahoru uplne navrsek a najednou Slunce. Slunicko proste proudilo do vsech voken. Dosmrti, dosmrti na to nezapomenu"

..I would think.

Zelenka's great Thanks for the translations. I was wondering if he actually said stuff in character or a bunch of silly nonsense that only people who spoke the language would laugh about.

What's that "actors" thing though? I guess he was being silly on that one?

[astronomicalchick]

On the bottom of the sea we have a failsafe mechanism. With a lot of power it ripped off the town's anchor from the bottom of the ocean. We were .. we were afraid .. were .. were we were afraid. Unbelievable. What has happened, and that noise. Th whole the city was shaking as in an earthquake. That was something unbelievable. And suddenly we were moving. The whole city was rising, rising up, up to the surface. That, that was something unbelievable. And the towers were going through the water surface and we were going up, up. Waters, waves, waterfalls. All the water was falling down from the heights and we were shooting up , absolutely to the surface, and suddenly Sun. Sun was simply shining through all windows. I will rememeber it till my death.

That's so poetic! I love it. I love this thread and I love Zelenka. You're right Shadow he is competition for McKay,I love them both! And I love it when they're together on screen.

[astronomicalchick]

It looks pretty good as is. Except a few minor grammatical things.
It ripped off the town's anchor from the bottom of the ocean.
The whole city was shaking as IN an earthquake.
All [the water] was falling down from the heights and we were shooting up (or we shot up), absolutely on (or to) the top/surface.

Part of it could also be the way Zelenka talks. That's just the way things look more "right" to me.

Now that I've seen the ep, Zelenka was so adorable. "Security clearance?" hehe

Actually, Shadow, I like Venti's (sorry can't spell) wording better. Just with my poet's hat on... it's beautiful... and expresses that moment so well.

Guess that's why I'm not a poet. Ah well. I tried....

Ah,and you torture minions so...imaginatively...

[ShadowMaat]

Ah,and you torture minions so...imaginatively...

Torture IS an art, and there is a certain poetic justice to some of it, but not all art is poetry.

I thought Becky's version was pretty good, myself.

Hilarious!!!!

So here is the translation

I indeed haven’t expected this

Suddenly, a lot of letters and emails. Very nice letters. From many people. Where did it come from?

Thanks for your support, cz fans! You are great.

I looking forward to answer your questions soon – also about the shooting of S2 of SGA here in Vancouver. Meanwhile I have a lot of work and I’m quite busy. See you soon.

Thanks, and take care.
