I guess the story happend a long time ago, while it was narrated in 1995
- so they've just converted the then-dollar amount to the today's (or
1999's) purchase power. In other words, a cup of coffe costed 15 cents
in 1935 but 2 bucks in 1999 (a fictious figure), so 15 cents of 1935
would make 2 bucks in 1999 dollars.

If the text was written in 1999, it simply refers to how much an
amount made in the past would be worth in "today's money."  It's
pretty common to say things like XXX made over 10 million USD in
1956, which would be worth nearly a billion today, etc....

I think it is not an exchange rate but I was not sure, whether it is the

Thank you all for your advice, you helped me a lot :-)

Hello Czechlisters,


This is Robert from Mlada Boleslav.  I would be interested in going to the
get-together on Wednesday, but I would first like to know if anybody knows of
any cheap pensions or other places of accommodation where I could spend the
night (or else even the possibility that I could "crash" at the house of one of
the Prague Czechlisters on Wednesday night before going back to MB in the
morning).  My problem is that if I depend on the last bus leaving Prague to MB
that means I will have to leave our friendly gathering rather early---which
usually means right at the point when the conversations start to get really
interesting:-(.  Does anybody have any other suggestions?, i.e. does anybody
live in the area of MB who could drive me back?

Thanks in advance:-)

Robert

Hello Czechlisters,

We are again getting together with a few translator friends this
coming Wednesday (sorry, can't make it any other day), 30th November,
5.30 pm, at the Thanh Long restaurant on Ostrovni 23 (just round the
corner from Maj/Tesco's), where they do very nice Thai curries,
Indonesian nasi goreng and Vietnamese meals at reasonable prices.
Round table at the back.

So come and join us for some language fun and games (exchanging tips
about language problems, translation issues, internet resources,
travel resources, etc etc etc), if you are into that kind of thing.
Bring your vocabulary book :-O.

It means the dollar figure is not adjusted for inflation, so it's a
dollar at its value in 1999, and not revised to reflect its value in
2005, or whenever.

Yes.  This is a good explanation.

If they are in 1999 and talking about money made before 1999, then it
means the figure is adjusted for inflation.  If they are in 2005 and
talking about money made in 1999, then they mean the figure has not
been adjusted for inflation.  What it means depends whether you're in
2005 looking back at 1999 (unadjusted), or in 1999 looking back at
some earlier year (adjusted).

Jamie

Thanks Jamie for your explanation. The inflation seems to be another
important factor to be considered as in:

By age 62, the worker would retire with a fund of $128,460 in today's 2000
dollars, after inflation.

Thanks for the suggestion, Melvyn.  I'm still not sure what they are
though and the client was stopro either!  We ended up just calling
them beans, but I'd welcome a more precise explanation if anyone has
one...

I don't see that anyone has answered this part.  If
it's not too late, to help, I parse it as:

". . . [an amount] such that after deduction of any charges
             which any of these people are required
                     to pay or withold  (i.e., to hold
in reserve for later payment to the gov't[*n1])
                             in respect to or calculated
with reference to such amount [*n2]
the remainder [i.e., amount minus charges = remainder]
actually paid will be the agreed amount."

*** The antecedent for "such amount" is "in an amount"
n1: the U.S. has a witholding system: so the charges
are ones _either_ paid or witheld for later payment
n2: "in respect to or calculated with reference to" is
arguably redundant (actually, there's law about the
difference between taxes "on" certain amounts, and
taxes "measured by" or "calculated on" amounts -- but
for present purposes, ignore it); you can probably
treat it as being simply "s ohledem"

In short, the deal is: (1) we've agreed to a certain
amount that X should get, net after everything.  (2) We
know that there will be taxes or other charges on
anything paid to X.  (3)  We can do the math on how
much the tax and charges will be.  (4)  Any math that
we can do forward, we can do backwards.  (5)
Therefore, the *beginning* amount has to be more than
the *agreed NET* amount, by just exactly as much as
will work out in the math.

For example, if for every $100 X gets, the tax laws say
X must pay or withold 20% ($20), then we know X would
only get $80 net.  In order to make sure that X *NETS*
the agreed $100, the amount to use at the beginning has
to be $125 -- because that way, when 20% is witheld
(20% of $125 being $25), the remainder (the net) will
be $100, the agreed amount.

As for the other questions, I take the first one
(authorizations) to mean that if licensee's government
has rules that would keep licensee from paying as
agreed, then licensee should do whatever is possible to
get the government to let licensee pay (get whatever
authorization, in whatever form is necessary: a permit,
a waiver, a declaration that a certain exception
applies, whatever).

Your last paragraph was marred by the author's attempt
to do too much: it would be to effect (make) filings,
and to obtain approvals.

Hi there,
I have been well and truly ambushed by a franchising agreement
concerning the operation of a large petrol station chain.
Specifically, the part that is giving me problems is an appendix that
specifies the technical maintenance duties which the franchisee is
responsible for.  I'd be extremely grateful if there are are any
techies out there who cold help me with the following terms (not much
context I'm afraid - it's basically just a list of duties)

Ho Coilin,

> drobnych oprav vodoinstalace a sanity

Perhaps 'sanitary installations'

> pravidelne cisteni a vymena filtru a vyustku u vzduchotechniky a

It indeed seems to be "vyustka" in singular nominal form. Is it actually
'vent' or some kind of an outlet? Well, 'induction unit' is probably okay,
being a specific kind of air discharge device (e.g.
http://irc.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/pubs/cbd/cbd109_e.html).

> udrzovani *cistych a pruchozich mrizek* vsech chladicich ventilatoru
pocitacovych a komunikacnich pristroju a UPS - any ideas on the words
between asterisks?

It's likely to mean "udrzovani mrizek v cistote a pruchozi" = 'keep/maintain
grates (or whatever you choose) clean and passable (or something like
that)'.

> drobnych oprav *prostredky postupne spotreby* ???

Old distinction between major and minor assets, PPS being the latter. I'm
not so fluent at accounting terms, but it's those inventory items whose cost
of acquisition is/can be deducted from taxable income all in the year of
acquision.

> periodicke redni cejchovani kuchynskych vah - should this perhaps
be "periodicke *uredni* cejchovani..."

Definitely a typo. Not sure about an English equivalent, maybe 'authorized
calibration'.

> cisteni kanalizacnich vpusti - cleaning of sewerage drains?

Yes. Is 'sewer drain' better, actually?

> vyvazeni kalu - does this simply mean "removing" sediment or should a
more specific verb be used?

It depends. Could be simply 'disposal of', but the word in Czech indicates
involvement of a vehicle, basically a truck. 'Removal' should be reserved
for the process within a clarifier tank, and the better word for "kal" is
'sludge' here although it is a kind of sediment too.

> opravy osvetleni podhledu - repairs of ceiling lighting?

Sounds exactly like that to me.

> opravy atiky prestreseni ???

I think that "prestreseni" is simply 'roofing' ('over an area' as opposed to
'on top of a house') and there is an 'attic' to be 'repaired'.

> opravy vzduchotechniky, jeji vnitrni cisteni, serizovani a *doplnovani
chladicich naplni- - "replenishing refrigerants"

Sounds perfectly like it to me.

> vymenu filtracnich naplni - exchange of filtering material???

I imagine that "filtracni napln" is some loose mass, like sand, gravel or
granules, so yours above could be it.

> odvoz a likvidaci odpadu *bezodtokov� j�mky* - drainless sump?

Sounds like it, but quite certainly rather unauthentic. 'Closed sump' may
work a bit better. Sometimes "jimka" renders simply as 'tank'.

> drobnych oprav elektro, vnitrniho osvetleni vcetne osvetleni vchodu a
chladicich vitr�n - should this not be "drobnych oprav elektra..."

A lot of people say "elektro" for anything to do with electrical equipment,
so this form is fairly common exactly as it's put above. 'Small/minor
repairs of electrical equipment'

I shot quite fast, so maybe someone will correct me on some of the points.
Hope it still helps...

Plumbing fixtures (includes sinks, toilets, taps, pipes, etc...)

Anyway, shouldn't this be "pravidelne cisteni a vymena vyustek"?

vyustek (pl vyustky) are diffusors - the last part of an AC ducting where
the air enters (or leaves) the room, they're those alien spaceship looking
discs, or rectangular things with louvres on, etc.


udrzovani *cistych a pruchozich mrizek* vsech chladicich ventilatoru

the mrizky must be kept clean and free of obstructions (the word order is
somewhat confusing here..), I'd go for grilles


drobnych oprav *prostredky postupne spotreby* ???

must be something that's gone after it's used up, no idea what could it be

Could be...

cisteni kanalizacnich vpusti - cleaning of sewerage drains?
OK, or "gullies"




vyvazeni kalu - does this simply mean "removing" sediment or should a
more specific verb be used?

Yep, but it's called "sludge"

opravy osvetleni podhledu - repairs of ceiling lighting? podhled is false
ceiling, or soffit, I'd go for "ceiling-mounted lighting"

opravy atiky prestreseni ???

atika is the part of wall that rises above the roof line (typically with
modern flat roofs), I've always been at a loss of a proper English word
Millenium has "attic gable", but don't think that's correct... prestreseni
is simply roofing structure (the thing above the petrol dispensers)


opravy vzduchotechniky, jeji vnitrni cisteni, serizovani a *doplnovani
chladicich naplni- - "replenishing refrigerants" why not, or cooling
liquids, since it's not a fridge...

vymenu filtracnich naplni - exchange of filtering material??? OK

odvoz a likvidaci odpadu *bezodtokov� j�mky* - drainless sump? OK

drobnych oprav elektro, vnitrniho osvetleni vcetne osvetleni vchodu a
chladicich vitr�n - should this not be "drobnych oprav elektra..."

Technically yes, the authior was thinking of elektro(zarizeni) probably..

drobnych oprav *prostredky postupne spotreby* ???

must be something that's gone after it's used up, no idea what could it be
at a petrol station, try playing with "consummables"

So am I right in thinking this should actually be "drobnych oprav
prostredku postupne spotreby" or is there some weird use of the
instrumental going on here?

Coilin

Hi Coilin,

I didn't notice the wrong case the first time I read it. You're right. The
object should be in the genitive...

Which reminds me, does anybody know where to find a table for such
conversions of USD (though GBP might be handy as well) purchasing
power through time since, say, 1920es, but the longer and more
detailed the better? The best I recall was a graph at the endpaper of
Samuelson & Nordhaus's Ekonomie, but I never googled too deep and
obviously there MUST be something...

BTW, a friend recently drew my attention to this:
http://pdata.webpark.cz and especially
http://pdata.webpark.cz/dokumenty/prekladatelstvi.doc in the
section "Uzitecne informace pro jazykovou praxi". His comment
is "Nasel jsem to nahodou p�i googlovani - jsou to rady stareho
praktika. Graficka uprava ovsem otresna." For me, the flashing
colours, length and current lack of time preclude anything deeper
than skimming, with the resulting feel that "nepretrzita 49leta
cinnost v oboru" brings certain moaning about fallen-ness (sp?) of
the world (cf. some articles in JTP publications or _fejetony_ by
Ivan Klima); and anyway not being a _praktik_ I can't really
appreciate or even judge it. But those who are might be interested.

Sorry if it has been brought up before.

I'm not sure, but I think it means that the contract transfers to the
the licensee's successor, and that in the event of a lawsuit the
licensor can tap the money and property of the licensee as compensation.

Maybe some  more knowledgeable person will confirm or refute what I
say here.
