Мучаюсь все с юридическим тексом, попалось предложение просто.. мозговыносящее. И вроде ошибок не должно быть, помогите, пожалуйста! То, что выделено:

Deserved punishment is a positive value, but it is not the only positive value. Seeing that people receive their negative desert may be an aim of criminal punishment for the moderate retributivist as it is for the strong retributivist; but for the moderate but not the strong retributivist, other values define the circumstances in which pursuit of that goal is properly undertakenOn the other hand, for the moderate retributivist as for all retributivists, undeserved punishment, if administered with knowledge that it is undeserved, is always a trumping disvalue.

Добрый день)
Мне нужна помощь в английском. Но не в конкретных предложениях на английском языке. Некоторое время назад я у себя в дневнике создала "английский клуб", где время от времени переписывалась с ПЧ, которые изъявляли желание. У меня уровень - ниже среднего, нуждаюсь в постоянной практике. Если у кого-то есть желание попрактиковаться вместе со мной в свободное время, отметьтесь пожалуйста.

P.S. С тех пор, как с стала время от времени переписываться здесь на английском, мне даже легче стало учить все на курсах.

Как правильно перевести?

[Teatrella]

With George and Victor, it is the same talent, only George's is strained through a finer sieve.

Если переводить дословно, то выходит что-то вроде "просеян через более тонкое ситечко"

Какой русской метафорой можно заменить это словосочетание? Что мол он более деликатен или утончён...

Заранее спасибо!

Пожалуйста, справите ошибки в моем сочинение...

My first day at the university.

I became the student. This is the new collective, the new teachers and new life. And this life isn't similar to that to which I have got used for ten years of study at the school. All ten years the First of September passed equally: the school ruler, traditional speech of the director and boring class hour. But now all in another way.

I remember when I have come to the university for the first time. There was bad weather, there was rain. But nevertheless I wasn't left by high spirits and sensation of something new.

I remember that when I came to the university, almost my group mates had already come. I still haven't remembered them yet, so that I looked at the tablet with an inscription:”philological faculty” and I also came to all.

I observed of occurring performance with big admiration. Undergraduates from various faculties acted. When I was looking at performance, I represented the future student's life.

When action in the yard had ended we moved in library. When we were going to the library someone told about it. All students came to the library. I sat down near two girls, they have not yet familiar to me. As it appeared first girl was the student of my stream, and a second of a speciality the Ukrainian language.

In library teachers told to us a little about student's life, truth they scared us a little a seat in the library all days and nights, but then it was forgotten because the way wasn't back any more and teachers have told already about our young faculty. We were explained of specificity of teaching in the faculty and what is a language laboratory. Teachers told about quantity of students in the day-time department and in the correspondence department. They named the dean and other teachers, the name and number of chairs at our faculty.

Pressure in my soul heated, because I will have known in what group and with whom I will have studied. And someone started to disclose who and in what group will have studied. I tensely listened to not pass myself. As a result I appeared in group number 11. To us named our curator and we on groups gone to our audiences.

We had a small audience, on the ground floor, so some students could not sit. I sat down on the first desk, near me sat my group mate. We exchanged glances. It stopped when our curator started to speak. She didn't tell much, only given a time table asked about our addresses and phone and we discussed some questions which exciting us.

In this day we had not classes, so we came to home to gain strength before the next day.

… Robert Shannon will be able to continue his studies only if he
gets the scholarship founded by Sir John Marshall, but his best friend
Gavin becomes his rival.

It was the first day of the Easter
Holidays. I was going fishing with Gavin. The last pleasure I allowed
myself before beginning to prepare for the Marshall.

We met early
in the morning. Gavin was waiting for me. Impossible to describe the
silent joy of our meeting... We walked side by side through the quiet
village to the lake.

“No fishing until evening, I am afraid”, Gavin murmured. “No wind and the day is too bright”.

Until
the sun went down, Gavin and I sat on an upturned boat, outside his
father's fishing hut. We spoke very little. At seven o'clock, after Mrs.
Glen, the woman of the cottage had given us some tea and boiled eggs
and milk, we pushed the boat into the water. I took the oars. When we
were far from the shore, Gavin spoke, hidden by the growing darkness.

“I understand you are sitting the Marshall, Robie?”

I was greatly surprised. “Yes… How did you know?”

“Mrs. Keith told my sister”, Gavin paused, breathing heavily. “I am trying for it too”.

I looked at him in silence. I was shocked and confused.

“But Gavin… You do not need the money!”

Gavin
frowned. "You'll be surprised." He spoke slowly. "My father has had
trouble in the business". He paused. "He has done so much for me... now
then he is worried, I would like to do something for him."

I was
silent. I knew that Gavin adored his father; and I had heard whispers
that all was not well with the Mayor's business. Yet his words came as
an unexpected blow.

"All the cleverest boys in the country are
competing," he continued. "One more won't make much difference. Besides
there is the honour of the town. It is twelve years since a Levenford
boy took the scholarship." He drew a deep breath. “One of us must win
it”.

“You may be the one, Gavin”, I said in a low voice; I knew he was a fine scholar.

Gavin
replied slowly. “I would like to win for my father’s sake. But I think
you have a better chance”. He paused. “If you win, will you go on to be a
doctor?”

Gavin was the only person on earth to whom I could tell
the truth. I said: “I wish with all my heart to be a medical biologist,
you know, a doctor who does research”. There was a long pause.

“Yes”,
Gavin said thoughtfully. “It is bad that we have to fight each other
over the scholarship. But, it will not affect our friendship, of
course”.

Yet I felt a sudden sadness in my heart. I thought: “Gavin and I… One of us must be defeated”.

Rudolf Steiner, a young piano salesman, was a true adventurer. Few
were the evenings when he did not go to look for the unexpected. It
seemed to him that the most interesting things in life might lie just
around the corner. He was always dreaming of adventures.

Once
when he was walking along the street his attention was attracted by a
Negro handing out a dentist's cards. The Negro slipped a card into
Rudolf's hand. He turned it over and looked at it. Nothing was written
on one side of the card; on the other three words were written: "The
Green Door". And then Rudolf saw, three steps in front of him, a man
throw away the card the Negro had given him as he passed. Rudolf picked
it up. The dentist's name and address were printed on it.

The
adventurous piano salesman stopped at the corner and considered. Then he
returned and joined the stream of people again. When he was passing the
Negro the second time, he again got a card. Ten steps away he examined
it. In the same handwriting that appeared on the first card "The Green
door" was written upon it. Three or four cards were lying on the
pavement. On all of them were the name and the address of the dentist.
Whatever the written words on the cards might mean, the Negro had chose
him twice from the crowd.

Standing aside from the crowd, the
young man looked at the building in which he thought his adventure must
lie. It was a five-storey building. On the f irst floor there was a
store. The second up were apartments.

After finishing his
inspection Rudolf walked rapidly up the stairs into the house. The
hallway there was badly lighted. Rudolf looked toward the nearer door
and saw that it was green. He hesitated for a moment, then he went
straight to the green door and knocked on it. The door slowly opened. A
girl not yet twenty stood there. She was very pale and as it seemed to
Rudolf was about to faint. Rudolf caught her and laid her on a sofa. He
closed the door and took a quick glance round the room. Neat, but great
poverty was the story he read.

"Fainted, didn't I?" the girl asked weakly. "Well, no wonder. You try going without anything to eat for three days and see."

"Heavens!"
cried Rudolf, jumping up. "Wait till I come back." He rushed out of the
green door and in twenty minutes he was back with bread and butter,
cold meat, cakes, pies, milk and hot tea.

"It is foolish to go without eating. You should not do it again," Rudolf said. "Supper is ready."

When
the girl cheered up a little she told him her story. It was one of a
thousand such as the city wears with indifference every day — a shop
girl's story of low wages; of time lost through illness; and then of
lost jobs, lost hope and unrealised dreams and — the knock of the young
man upon the door.

Rudolf looked at the girl with sympathy.

"To think of you going through all that," he exclaimed. "And you have no relatives or friends in the city?"

"None whatever."

"As a matter of fact, I am all alone in the world too," said Rudolf after a pause.

"I am glad of that," said the girl, and somehow it pleased the young man to hear that she approved of his having no relatives.

Then the girl sighed deeply. "'I'm awfully sleepy," she said.

Rudolf rose and took his hat.

"How did it happen that you knocked at my door?" she asked.

"One of our piano tuners lives in this house. I knocked at your door by mistake."

There was no reason why the girl should not believe him.

In the hallway he looked around and discovered to his great surprise that all the doors were green.

In the street he met the same Negro. "Will you tell me why you gave me these cards and what they mean?" he asked.

Pointing
down the street to the entrance to a theatre with a bright electric
sign of its new play, "The Green Door", the Negro told Rudolf that the
theatre agent had given him a dollar to hand out a few of his cards
together with the dentist's.

"Still it was the hand of Fate that showed me the way to her," said Rudolf to himself.

The Partnership
Partnerships are voluntary combinations of from 2 to 20 persons formed for the purpose of carrying on business with a view of profit. This type of organisation represents a logical development from the one-person business since the obvious method by which such a firm may acquire further capital is to form a partnership. The motive, however, may not be financial and partnerships are often formed in order to bring new ability and enterprise into the business.
The partners usually share in the task of running the business, but a partner need not play an active role. A per¬son who joins a partnership, supplying capital and sharing in the profits, but taking no part in the management is known as a dormant or sleeping partner. Partnerships are a com¬mon form of business organisation in such professions as law, accountancy, surveying, and medicine.
The advantages of this type of firm are similar to those of the one-person business. It is a flexible organisation which allows a greater degree of specialisation than the one-person business. Partners usually specialise in one or more aspects of the business; one may be responsible for buying, one for selling, one for production, and so on. Since it has greater access to capital, it can achieve greater size than the sole proprietor.
The great disadvantage, like that of the one-person business, is the fact that the liability of the partners is unlim¬ited and they are all fully liable for the acts of the other part¬ners. There are, however, some limited partnerships which have to be registered with the Registrar of Companies. In such firms some partners (e.g. dormant partners) may have their liability limited to some specified sum, but at least one of the partners must have unlimited liability. The survival of a partnership depends upon the continued harmonious relationship between a number of people in situations which often give much cause for disagreement. Thus, where trading risks are very great, the partnership is not a very stable type of organisation.
