Hogy Gyurcsány Feri bácsi öszödi beszédje angolul?

Politikus hazudik. Meglepődtél?

Amúgy vannak olyan kulturális nyelvi sajátosságok, amiket nagyon nehéz lefordítani. (azt a hétszázát, böszmeség)

Szó szerinti fordításból meg nem értenék meg.

Általában valamilyen angol kifejezéssel helyettesítik, de nem biztos hogy visszaadja az eredeti hangulatát, jelentését. A magyar nyelv e téren kétségkívül igen gazdag.

Corruption, has feudal roots.

In fact, I believe the whole corrupt practice of guanxi is rooted in China's long tradition of renzhi -- rule of men rather than the rule of law.

President is has called for a curb on official extravagance: No red carpet treatment, no luxury banquets and no fancy office buildings. But these are the symptoms not the root of the problem.

To stamp out corruption, he will have to not only observe the rule of law but also introduce genuine political reforms that would allow checks and balances, transparency, and independent scrutiny. Such remedies, although proven elsewhere, may be too strong for him to take.

I don't doubt that the authorities will net more tigers. But there will be hundreds and thousands more at large and countless flies, thriving in China's politically and culturally rich breeding ground for corruption.
