Ольга: at THE time

Katerina Padded a comment 7 лет назад

а какой вариант лучше? в разговоре

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 лет назад

Valery, your sentence would apply if someone were talking about a specific decision, which, given the circumstances, was the only right thing to do at the time. Is that what the Russian means, or is it more general as in Aleksandr's translation?

Ольга, это не та фраза, по отношению к прошлому говорят "at THE time", а не "that time"

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 лет назад

Катерина, я не уверен, но мне кажется, что вариант Александра верен.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 лет назад

... если речь о том, что что-то было принято когда-то в прошлом.

I’m not clever, baby, I’m American and I was only trying to help you.

Katerina Padded a comment 7 лет назад

Спасибо большое за помощь ; )

Olga, learn English!

Jane Leshadded a comment 7 лет назад

If you don't need help, Olga, it would be cool to see a correct translation from you.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 лет назад

Jane, so which do you think is the correct translation?

Anna Sevastyanovaadded a comment 7 лет назад

Uly, good evening. I think that Alexander's translation is correct.

Jane Leshadded a comment 7 лет назад

Uly, тогда это было уместно sounds pretty general to me. I don't think this phrase implies some specific decision. So Alexander's variant is correct I believe. Btw, I thought Valeriy's translation is good too in this context, but now, after your remark, I see the difference, so thanks =)

Thank you Anna and Jane!
