Как перевести? (ru-en)

Приятно поговорить с умным человеком, особенно с самим собой.

    It’s nice to talk to an intelligent person - especially when that person happens to be you.

Uly, "happens to be your one's own self' (?)

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 6 years ago

That doesn’t quite sound right.

...happens to be you

If I had to express the original Russian sentiment in English, this is what I would say word for word. It’s a little longer, but it’s very idiomatic.

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 6 years ago

For example, Leo translated it quite literally and it just doesn’t say anything, let alone express the humor of the original sentiment.

To me "when that person happens to be you" sounds as "когда этот человек - ты"

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 6 years ago

And isn’t that another way of saying the original statement?

Elena Bogomolovaдобавил комментарий 6 years ago

No, the meaning is that "when this person is yourself". May be "yourself" is the right word?

⁌ ULY ⁍добавил комментарий 6 years ago

You could say YOURSELF, but it’s totally unnecessary. The context makes it clear that YOU is YOURSELF here.

Mouth-watering. Red. Pair fantastically with food or enjoyed on their own. The gift you buy for someone special and can’t help but keep for yourself. Check, check, check, and check! Yup looks like this pack checks of all the boxes as the perfect gift for the red lover in your life, even when that person happens to be you!

If you wrote “even for yourself” here, it would take all the wit out of it.
