#3 - Lietuvos Valstybinės Šventės: Lithuanian National Commemorations

Сегодня проверим себя по известному всем роману “Идиот” Федора Михайловича Достоевского. Текст достаточно легкий, но буду диктовать и знаки препинания. Нам понадобятся: точка (.), запятая (,), вопросительный (?) и восклицательный (!) знаки и многоточие (...)

Я прочитаю отрывок дважды. В первый раз медленно, по несколько слов, но обязательно ставьте эпизод на паузу, чтобы всё успеть. Второй раз читаю быстрее, чтобы вы проверили, всё ли правильно записали. 

Отправьте мне сообщение со словами “восьмой диктант готов” и я пришлю вам текст для проверки. Ну и не забывайте ставить лайки и оставлять комментарии, мне будет очень приятно.

Пишите грамотно, говорите свободно! Хорошего дня, друзья!

Zǎochūn Chéng Shuǐbù Zhāng Shíbā Yuánwài
早春呈水部张十八员外
Hán Yù （Táng）
韩愈（唐）
Tiān jiē xiǎo yǔ rùn rú sū，
天街小雨润如酥，
Cǎo sè yáo kàn jìn què wú。
草色遥看近却无。
Zuì shì yì nián chūn hǎo chù，
最是一年春好处，
Jué shèng yān liǔ mǎn huáng dū。
绝胜烟柳满皇都。

Light drizzle moistens the imperial road like butter,
The grass appears green from afar, yet vanishes up close.
It is the loveliest time of the whole spring year,
Far surpassing the misty willows that fill the capital city.

Have you ever been so confused you didn't know what to do or say? If so, you might find these words helpful.

If you're shocked by something, you can say you are "flabbergasted." No one knows where this word comes from, but it might come from "aghast," which means "horrified."

So if you got home and found that everything you own had been stolen, you might say, "I'm flabbergasted that they were able to steal everything without being seen!"

If something is very complicated and confusing, you can say you are "bewildered." This word probably comes from "to wilder," an old word that means "to make someone become lost."

So if the police were not able to find out anything about what happened, they might say, "We're bewildered — we have no idea who took your things."

Another word that could be used is "flummoxed," which also means "confused." People don't know for sure, but it may have come from "flummock," an old word that meant "to make untidy or confuse."

So you could say to the police, "I'm just as flummoxed as you are — I can't understand how they could have stolen everything."

If something is difficult to understand, you can say it's "perplexing," or makes you feel "perplexed." So the police might say, "I'm sorry, but we might not be able to find your things. This is a very perplexing case!"
