Tatiana.Помогите, пожалуйста, мне с переводом, уже неоднократно спрашиваю перевод, но никто не хочет помочь, очень нужно знать.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 7 years ago

У меня уже поздний вечер. А что именно, где ссылка?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Tatiana: "we're asking you" doesn't work here. In such formal requests, we use "we ask that you (please)..." Also, I think the crux of this statement is that they want to avoid people giving long, drawn-out answers, so "as soon as possible" doesn't work either. If anything, it would be "as quickly as possible."

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Elena, if they're addressing a group (which I think they are), the correct form would be "responseS" - in the shortest time POSSIBLE.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Елена: о каком переводе вы говорите? Ссылка есть?

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 7 years ago

Улий, спасибо большое!
У Елены ОО была целая серия запросов. Не знаю, на все ли ей ответили. Можно пройтись по её профилю при желании.)

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

Uly, thank you. I think it may not be necessarily addressed to a group of people or companies. It may be addressed to one company.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Elena, my point was that it should be “responses” plural, assuming there’s more than one person responding.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Татьяна, не за что)

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

Uly, and thank you for
"...we only have so much time ..."
I didn't know that it means "limited time"...)

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Yes, that's actually the best way to express it. In this context (and with the appropriate intonation) "so much" means столько, not так много.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Tatiana, to me a preliminary response is it temporary, unofficial one as opposed to a final, binding one. I think this refers to a quick response.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 7 years ago

Uly, Is 'a quick response as quickly as possible' okay?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

It’s OK, but it’s a lot of repetition
