Al, your translation doesn't make any sense because you'd have to be dead to say it.

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

Tatiana, your translation would be ok if it didn't have "again" at the end. It sounds like "one more time," whereas here the speaker means again and again.

Спасибо, Улий! Только мне показалось live to be 300, это ДОжить до трёхсот лет, а здесь его возраст, допустим, 50 + 300. Или это не надо понимать буквально? Как в reverso.

Yeah, it just sounds more natural to say "If I live to be 300" https://www.google.com/search?site=&source=hp&q=%22if+I+live+to+be+300%22&oq=%22if+I+live+to+be+300%22&gs_l=psy-ab.3...67321134.67327417.0.67327709.26.21.0.0.0.0.108.1462.19j1.20.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..6.15.1108.0..0j0i131k1.vWy4p2C6KSY

AL, вы ничего не изменили, добавив "even" :))

Holy Molyadded a comment 7 years ago

В том смысле, что это слова уже неживого человека :))

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

AL remove that ridiculous translation, you're going to confuse anyone who thinks those tenses are correct here.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 7 years ago

Ага, размечтались! AL когда-нибудь что-нибудь убирал? ALа везде должно быть много...
