Episode 4: J'aime le français (I like French)

Здравствуйте. Это шестой эпизод подкаста «Глубинный народ», взгляд на культуру России из провинции.


Тьютор «Айтоки» Ксения Назарова попросила студентов подобрать хороший перевод слова «тоска». 
https://www.italki.com/en/quiz/quiz/384168

В повести Толстого «Смерть Ивана Ильича» (перевод на английский Эйлмера и Луизы Мод) слово это переводилось с помощью французского заимствования ennui. 

Некоторые считают, что тоска является одним из ключевых концептов русской культуры.

В романе Пушкина «Евгений Онегин» читаем:
«Недуг, которого причину
Давно бы отыскать пора,
Подобный англицкому сплину,
Короче: русская хандра
Им овладела понемногу;
Он застрелиться, слава богу,
Попробовать не захотел,
Но к жизни вовсе охладел».

Я недавно перечитал «Мёртвые души» Гоголя. Эта великолепная книга написана по-русски, о России и для русских. Вот замечательная цитата из неё:
«Почему слышится и раздаётся немолчно в ушах твоя тоскливая, несущаяся по всей длине и ширине твоей, от моря до моря, песня? Что в ней, в этой песне? Что зовёт, и рыдает, и хватает за сердце? ... Русь! чего же ты хочешь от меня?»

Главный герой книги «Москва-Петушки» Ерофеева утверждал:
«Я не верю, чтобы кто-нибудь ещё из вас таскал в себе это горчайшее месиво... Больше всего в нём скорби и страха ..., и ещё немоты».

Одна из причин тоски -- огромные людские потери в войнах, что отразилось в народных песнях, таких как «Чёрный ворон».

Молодая певица Дарья Виардо также поёт о русской тоске:

Родом из Норильска, она, как говорится, в теме.

Ещё совсем недавно в провинции не было времени для тоски. Люди были всегда заняты по хозяйству. Об этом рассказывают герои нового фильма «Русская тоска».

You've just gotten a new job! That means you'll be earning a bit more — so you go out to celebrate and buy yourself that nice car you've been looking at.

Or perhaps you've finally finished paying off your mortgage, so you let yourself eat at restaurants more often, and start getting a nicer coffee on the way to work every day.

Then you look at your bank account and wonder where all the money went!

Something called "lifestyle creep" might be to blame.

Lifestyle creep, also called "lifestyle inflation," is when you find yourself with some more money — for example, after getting a new job or paying off a mortgage — but then spend more as a result.

You find a new lifestyle creeping up on you like a monster from behind the sofa!

It's easy to do: you feel you've earned the right to enjoy yourself and treat yourself to some small luxuries.

But experts warn that this can quickly get in the way of your financial goals — if you're saving for retirement, for example.

And if you get used to the changes you've made to your lifestyle, you could even end up in a worse position than you were in before.

Of course, we all need to treat ourselves from time to time. But if you find you're not saving any more even as your income has increased, that may be a sign that you need to make a change, according to finance expert Robin Aiken.

The trick is to stick to a budget, even as you begin to earn more.

You can still enjoy nice things, says financial planner Paco de Leon, but try to avoid too much impulse buying — that's buying something without giving it much thought.

With some smart saving, you can make that extra income go a long way — and keep the monster behind the sofa!
