Перевод текста. good morning. let's have a general talk this morning with all of you taking part. what things in life do you dislike? come on, i want to hear your ideas. frieda, will you begin, please. well, i don't quite know what to say, but, to begin with, i don't like london, i am tired of london. i remember, sir, a sentence of dr. johnson's "when a man is tired of london he is tired of life." johnson and dickens and shakespeare (at least in his youth) certainly liked london. oh, london; s all right, but there are too many people, too many buses, too many taxis, and too much noise. yes, but, on the other hand, there are good libraries and museums and theatres. i know that you are fond of shakespeare, jan; and in one or other of the theatres there is always a shakespeare play. yes, i like shakespeare's plays, and the library certainly helps me with my work; but when i have time, i like to get out of london and walk in the country and swim or play football. what do you say to that, frieda? need you leave sometimes london too? i agree with jan. i like london for some things, but after a time i get tired of it. my home is a quiet little place in switzerland among the mountains, and when i am in the noise of london i always want to be among the mountains and the trees, or at some quiet seaside place (there are some lovely ones in england) with the sea and the yellow sand and the sunshine. lucille, do you like these quiet places? i certainly do not! i feel half dead in them. i know these quiet seaside places with miles of sand and no one on it except me, two or three noisy children and an old man or two. i once stayed at one of them - but only once. never again for me! there was one small hotel with a sad-looking waiter. we had uneatable cabbage every day and undrinkable coffee every evening. the people in those places all go to bed at nine o'clock because there is nothing else to do. well, lucille, we certainly know what you don't like. what do you like? i like galety and life and fun. i want to meet people, young and gay and interesting people. i like good hotels, with good food and good wine. i like theatres with bright music. i like flying, and motoring, if the car is a fast one. what do you say, olaf? i don't dance - and i don't want to dance, i enjoy going to the theatre when there is a good play there, a play by shakespeare or shaw or galsworthy. i don't like "bright: musical" rubbish. i like people, people with "ideas", people with character. but i don't like a lot of people all together. and pedro, what do you say? it is very interesting to hear these different speakes and different ideas. i like mountains and the quiet seaside for a time, for a weel or two perhaps, but after that i feel that i should see a man or a woman - not just trees and mountains and sea, and so i come back to london or paris or vienna or warsaw, to rio de janeiro or buenos aires. there i find what i want, the really enjoyable things of life, interesting people, books, goos music, good plays, good pictures. those are what i like.
