Tatiana Gerasimenkoasked for translation 4 years ago
How to translate? (en-ru)

Ты из кожи вон лезешь, чтобы доказать, что ты к ней равнодушен, а она только руки потирает - смотрите, мол, он от меня без ума.

  1. 1.

    You’re going out of your way to show her that you can take her or leave her while she just rubs her hands together with a knowing smirk, like “you see - he’s absolutely nuts about me.”

You're going out of your way to prove her that you don't care about her, but she's just rubbing her hands together like "there you go - he IS obsessed with me".

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 4 years ago

From an English point of view, I don’t understand the gesture of rubbing your hands together.

Russ Sadded a comment 4 years ago

Uly, it's something like "I got you!" or "I'm gonna get you anyway"
Though you are saying you dont care, I know you are mine!

Russ Sadded a comment 4 years ago

Another example, perhaps too literal, but imaging you are hungry and barbecuing a duck slowly. After an hour or so the duck is ready. Now you are rubbing your hands together anticipating how you gonna eat it in a minute or so.

Oh, you mean like when you hold your hands in a praying position 🙏 and move them up and down against each alternately?

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 4 years ago

Saying она только руки потирает they mean that he's playing into her hands when trying to prove otherwise.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 4 years ago

If I was writing that, I would add something to make it clear: rubbing her hands together with a sinister smirk.

Russ Sadded a comment 4 years ago

Yes, Uly, you understood correctly - holding hands together as in praying and moving then alternatively up and down or back and forth.
As for Tatiana's "trying to prove otherwise" it's not necessarily. Doesn't have to be "otherwise". It's usually - "I'm gonna get you" OR "I got you, baby".

The evil hands - exactly! Solved.

Osatio’s “translation” threw me off. I wish (s)he would remove it! It’s too simplistic.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 4 years ago

Their translation is just my comment they copied, edited and pasted.)

Is that’s clever! 😡

Чем бы дитя ни тешилось, лишь бы не плакало)))))

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 4 years ago

Uly, спасибо большое за перевод! 🙏

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 4 years ago

Russ, я могла неправильно использовать prove otherwise, но я всего лишь имела в виду, что чем больше он старается доказать, что она ему безразлична, тем больше он фактически доказывает обратное. 😔

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 4 years ago

Tatiana, your PROVE OTHERWISE made absolutely perfect sense in your statement and especially in reference to this post.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 4 years ago

Большое спасибо, Uly! Для меня это очень важно. 🙏🙏🙏
