peer agreement (net): +1salad "I should have such life" Explanation: @ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2006-06-27 16:00:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- My answer was influenced by a book I'm currently reading - The Joy of Yiddish by Leo Rosten. In it he discusses, among other things, how modern English is influenced by Yiddish and uses a phrase "I should have such luck" as an example. |

Wishing for a good life Explanation: Некоторая идиоматичность оригинала сохраняется, по-моему, так как среди евреев принято говорить за столом молитву (перед тем, как вкусить пищу), а общее значение молитвы - именно просьба о лучшей жизни, здоровье и т.д. ИМХО, конечно. |
