Spring
0"О весна без конца и без края", как когда-то воскликнул поэт... Нет, наверное, ни одного человека, который равнодушно относился бы к этому времени года. Кто-то спать не может, переполненный новыми силами, надеждами и томлением, кто-то терпеть не может весну за излишний адреналин или изматывающий авитаминоз, но, так или иначе, она с нами. Мы уже пережили vernal equinox — весеннее равноденствие (ver — "весна" на латыни, а aequus и nox — латинские корни, отразившиеся в русском языке в [...]

Hung up
0Time goes by so slowly... Every little thing that you say or do I'm hung up I'm hung up on you Waiting for your call Baby night and day I'm fed up I'm tired of waiting on you Time goes by so slowly for those who wait No time to hesitate Those who run seem to have all the fun I'm caught up I don't know what to do Time goes by so slowly... Time goes by [...]

Paradise (Not For Me)
0I can't remember When I was young I can't explain If it was wrong My life goes on But not the same Into your eyes My face remains [I've been so high] I've been so down [Up to the skies] Down to the ground I was so blind I could not see Your paradise Is not for me Autour de moi Je ne vois pas Qui sont les anges Surement pas moi Encore une fois Je suis [...]

It Was A Very Good Year
0When I was seventeen It was a very good year It was a very good year For small town girls And soft summer nights We'd hide from the lights On the village green When I was seventeen When I was twenty-one It was a very good year It was a very good year For city girls Who lived up the stairs With all that perfumed hair And it came undone When I was twenty-one When I was [...]

Wit and Wisdom of Ireland
0May you live as long as you want and never want as long as you live. Живи так долго, как хочется, и не хоти так долго, как живется. As you slide down the bannisters of life, may the splinters never point the wrong way. Пусть занозы не торчат не в ту сторону, когда ты катаешься по перилам жизни. May you be in Heaven half an hour before the Devil knows you are dead. Пусть ты окажешься на [...]

Quotes about Time
0Many famous people dwelled about time. These are a few examples of what was said about it. *** "Time has no divisions to mark its passage; there is never a thunderstorm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins, it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols." (Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain") "У времени нет границ; не гремит гроза и не [...]

Measuring Time
0Простенький текст для практики чтения и общей информации. Since 1883 time has been standardized across the world. Starting from the zero meridian in Greenwich, the world is divided into twenty-four time zones. Each time zone should be fifteen degrees of longitude, but the time zone lines are not straight, because nations often want to use a single time zone. The zero meridian passes through the Royal Greenwich Observatory, which was built in 1675 and still stands on [...]
