Вот Саша! Три варианта 😉

Uly, the Perfect is not needed here, I would translated it like "We must be able to say no without hesitation."

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago

Alex, I didn’t use the perfect anywhere.

Alexander Аkimovadicionou o comentário 5 years ago

I see you deleted it - "We should have..."

Улий жжёт, как всегда! 😉

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago

Alex, yes! I misread the Russian initially and mended my ways 😂

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago

Now that I’ve been tasked by Zoya’s secretary to vet the Russian that comes through here as well!

Alex, that sounds like a future proposition: “The contract has a two week cancellation clause. Alex is on vacation and we need his approval to continue with the contract. But he’ll be back next week, so we should be able to say no in time if he decides it’s not for us.”

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago

=I don’t see any impediment to saying no (in the future) before the cancellation period ends

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago

I think this post is a general statement, not a future proposition.

Alex Sosadicionou o comentário 5 years ago

Улий, слово "должен" в русском языке зачастую ассоциируется с будущим временем. Например: "сержант говорит новобранцу: Ты должен быть храбрым солдатом. Это значит - что, когда родина-мать потребуют, новобранцу необходимо проявить свою храбрость. то есть, проявить её предстоит в будущем. В данным примере всё тоже самое: необходимо говорить "нет" в будущем, когда того потребуют обстоятельства.

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago

Alex, it’s not DOLZHEN that makes this sound futuristic, it’s IN TIME. Also, BE ABLE TO doesn’t have the same meaning as KNOW HOW TO or LEARN TO.

Alex Sosadicionou o comentário 5 years ago

in time -

Alex Sosadicionou o comentário 5 years ago

In time - вовремя, по-русски значит, когда придёт время. Время придёт, то есть придёт в будущем. В будущем, и только в будущем, возможно, настанет такая необходимость.

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago

Another example: [about a bomb] A: The time bomb is set to go off 20 minutes from now. B: Our team is the best - we should be able to stop it in time.

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago

ВОВРЕМЯ is more correctly ON TIME, IN A TIMELY MANNER

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago

SHOULD = I predict...

⁌ ULY ⁍adicionou o comentário 5 years ago

“We’re leaving an hour early - we should get there in time for the wedding. Otherwise we’ll just go to the reception.” = I predict we’ll get there in time for the wedding ceremony.
