Улий, I dare say that your translation does not cover "одновременно" part.

Do you approve my 2 versions?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 years ago

The first one is good, but the second one should read “get satisfaction... FROM IT at the same time”

Russ Sadded a comment 5 years ago

But the original question did not have anything pointing at IT. It is in generally saying получаю удовольствие и впадаю в грусть ...

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 5 years ago

It’s hard to explain. There’s a concept in English called VALENCE which refers to the number of grammatical elements with which a particular word, especially a verb, combines in a sentence. In this case, the full expression is “to derive/get satisfaction from/out of something.” To the English ear, if you don’t mention the FROM or OUT OF, the sentence sounds MARKED - even if it’s grammatically possible. One way to fix your sentence, is to replace GET with a verb that doesn’t have the same valence as GET in this context, like FEEL: “I feel satisfaction and sadness at the same time,” for example.

Having said that, your sentence is perfectly correct without FROM/OUT OF - it would just sound better with it.
