И сразу же натыкаюсь на бородатый анекдот, с детства известный мне на русском.
Оцените и вы:
Sherlock Holmes and his friend Watson were on a camping and hiking trip. They had gone to bed and were lying there looking up the sky. Holmes said, "Watson, look up. What do you see?" "Well, I see thousands of stars". "And what does that mean to you?" " Well, I guess it means we will have another nice day tomorrow. What does it mean to you, Holmes?" "To me, it means someone has stolen our tent".
Меня терзают смутные подозрения, что анекдот этот отнюдь не аглицкого происхождения...))

в нашем языке эта фраза звучит куда мелодичней.
ваще, конечно, английский язык, это язык инструкции к телевизору. купил, было дело, шекспира несколько книжек - ни одну не осилил - шекспир по сравнению с лозинским или маршаком такая скука... :(

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip.
After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay down for the night, and went to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.
"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?"
Watson pondered for a minute.
"Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.
Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.
Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.
Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, I supect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
What does it tell you? "
Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke.
"Watson, you retard. Some bastard has stolen our tent!"
