Я Вас любил

Я Вас любил: любовь ещё, быть может,

В душе моей угасла не совсем;

Но пусть она Вас больше не тревожит;

Я не хочу печалить Вас ничем.

Я Вас любил безмолвно, безнадежно,

То робостью, то ревностью томим;

Я Вас любил, так искренно, так нежно,

Как дай Вам Бог любимой быть другим.

А.С. Пушкин

 

 


Translation 1:

 

I loved you, in my heart there is an amber

Of love not wholly faded it may be.

But do not let it hurt you to remember

I wouldn't have you suffer pain for me.

I loved you in a hopeless silent fashion

Racked now by shyness, now by jealous fear. ..

I loved you with such pure and tender passion.

God grant another love you so, my dear.

Translation 2:

 

I loved you once. My love for you, it may be,

Within this heart of mine is still aglow;

But let it not concern you any longer;

I wouldn't have it pain you any more.

I loved you once - so hopelessly, in silence,

By shyness now, then jealousy beset.

My love for you has been so true, so tender,

As God may grant, another's may prove yet.

In Russia most shops are open from 8 or 9 a.m. till 7 p.m. on Monday to Saturday, although some stay open much later. There are also round-the-clock shops, which work even at night. Many shops are open on Sunday.

We buy different things at different shops. For example, we can buy meat at thebutcher’s, bread at the baker’s, vegetables and fruit at the greengrocer’s, groceries – at the grocer’s. If we need some medicine, we go to a drug-store (or to the chemist’s). But there are also shops where we can buy practically everything. Such shops are called department stores and supermarkets. The customers just walk there and choose what they want – all things for sale are on special counters. Having filled your basket you go to the cash desk, where there is а short queue. When there is your turn the prices of your purchases are added up. You pay money to the cashier and she gives you back the change.

Supermarkets are brightly-lit and well laid out. The goods are tidily arranged on trays and long shelves on which the prices are clearly marked. There’s plenty of room for the customers to walk about.

In the supermarkets most of the goods are sold ready-weighed, ready-packed and wrapped. You can find wide selection of everything here from shoe polish to eggs. In the women's clothing department, for ехаmрlе, you can buy dresses, costumes, blouses, skirts, coats, beautiful underwear, etc. In the men’s clothing department you can choose suits, trousers, overcoats, ties, etc. In the knitwear department one can buy sweaters, cardigans, short-sleeved and long-sleeved pullovers, woolen jackets. In the perfumery they sell face cream and powder, lipstick, lotion and shampoo.

Besides, there are markets and whole-sales markets where it is also possible to buy food as well as other different things such as chemicals, clothes, toys and so on.

My mother looks after the house and does most of the cooking. I help her about the house and do the shopping.

I like to do my shopping at big supermarkets. There are several department stores under one roof at all supermarkets. Prices vary from department to department. They sell а wide assortment of confectionery and bakery, wines, fruits and vegetables, smoked meat and sausage, dairy products, butcher’s meat, poultry, а lot of jеwеllеry, electrical appliances, perfumery, household goods, sport goods and foot wear, knitted and leather goods, textiles, stationary, etc. There are departments, known as "bargain sales", where they sell goods at reduced prices. It is important for housewives because the prices are going up constantly.
