How to translate? (ru-en)

Он казался очень интересным собеседником. Мы проболтали два часа и даже не заметили этого. Нам даже не приходилось находить темы для разговора, они появлялись сами собой. Так мы стали хорошими друзьями, наша дружба длится уже более 25 лет

    He proved a very interesting conversationalist. We spent two hours chatting without even noticing the time. We didn't need to struggle to come up with things to talk about - one topic just segued into another. We became good friends and 25 years later, we're still friends.

    he turned out to be a very interesting interlocutor. We even didn’t mentioned we had already been talking for two hours.

Согласна с Аней, «оказался» здесь звучало бы убедительнее.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 лет назад

Согласен только с «оказался», остальное оставляет желать лучшего((

Both translations need work.

Margarita, if you don't mind a few corrections, I'll help you fix your translation: (1) "He PROVED/TURNED OUT to be a very interesting conversation partner." If you say SEEMED, it means that you're not sure. (2) We talked for two hours and didn't even REALIZE IT/WITHOUT even REALIZING IT. (3) We didn't NEED to COME UP with ANY topics - they just POPPED UP. (4) So we became good friends AND our friendship has lasted _ more than 25 years.

Aня: (1) INTERLOCUTOR is an outdated word - most people don't even know what it means. (2) We DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE... (MENTION = УПОМИНАТЬ). (3) We didn't need to find TOPICS for _ conversation - they AROSE SPONTANEOUSLY/ON THEIR OWN/ORGANICALLY/NATURALLY (by themselves = в одиночестве). (5) Our friendship HAS LASTED more than 25 years.
