I'm wondering what they do in the winter.

Good! That’s what they all mean 👍🏼

Slavik, the progressive doesn’t sound quite right here. I think this refers to what they generally DO in the winter.

Absolutely!)

this sounds as if you know what they do and this beats you (is it so?) while the Russian phrase means you don't know what they do in the winter...

BEATS ME means I have no idea, can’t imagine.

[roommate] A: I just got a message from your mother, of all people, asking me to call her. Do you have any idea what she wants? B: Beats me. I haven’t spoken to her since our argument last week. She probably just wants to know if I’m OK.

Slavik, “I don’t know” is correct, but DOING is out of place.

"I don't know" sounds neutral, while ума не приложу - colloquial and emphatic

Ah. Good to know

Ума не приложу ~ понятия не имею

"I don't know" - что бы там reverso ни говорил, это все равно как по-русски сказать "не знаю" вместо "ума не приложу". Огромная разница.

Это перевод не из reverso

К примеру вот эта фраза:
Ума не приложу, как с тобой быть, Мэгги. Well, Meggie, I don't know what to do with you.
Из книги "Поющие в терновнике"

А вот эта из книги "Зернышки в кармане"
Как теперь управимся, ума не приложу. How we're going to manage now, I don't know!

В обоих случаях это перевод с английского на русский. Переводчики любят приукрасить/усилить эмоции (и это не вредит), но не наоборот.

Вот эта фраза из фильма "Шерлок"
Ума не приложу, откуда пошли слухи! - I don't know how those rumours started!
Ладно, я конечно могу продолжать и дальше, но это не имеет смысла.

Неудивительно, что это опять EN-RU
Slavik Sokuradded a comment 5 anos atrás
grumbler, по вашим словам это перевод 100% не верный и мне его убрать?
Slavik Sokuradded a comment 5 anos atrás
Как по мне "Ума не приложу" это просто синоним к слову "Я не знаю"
Slavik Sokuradded a comment 5 anos atrás
grumbler,
grumbleradded a comment 5 anos atrás
по смыслу, перевод, несомненно, верный.
эмоциональная нагрузка, на мой взгляд, совершенно разная.
др. пример: уходи, проваливай, пошел прочь - это тоже все синонимы.
