a pretty ordinary childhood=довольно обычное детство

Но если не углубляться в тонкости между "самым обычным" и "довольно обычным" детством, то возможный вариант.

Tatiana, you have a typo EARLY, not YEARLY.

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

Elena, see how easy that was?))

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

Worry about your OWN mistakes - you have plenty of them - a whole dictionary full!

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 5 years ago

Uly, I found this question at last. Btw is that translation worth correcting?

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

Absolutely! It’s very natural.

Good to know, because it somehow sounds funny to me, unlike, for example, "The movie is nothing to write home about."

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

Nope, it’s actually very expressive in this context. It implies that you would have changed your childhood for anyone else’s because it was so uneventful.

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

Is my interpretation correct?

⦿ ULYadded a comment 5 years ago

Ok, then I added my own translation)
