Clinton, Lavrov push wrong reset button on ties

GENEVA, March 6 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with a red "reset button" to symbolise improved ties, but the gift drew smiles as the word "reset" was mistranslated into the Russian for "overcharge".

"I would like to present you with a little gift that represents what President Obama and Vice President Biden and I have been saying and that is: 'We want to reset our relationship and so we will do it together," said Clinton, presenting Lavrov with a palm-sized yellow box with a red button.

Clinton joked to Lavrov: "We worked hard to get the right Russian word. Do you think we got it?"

"You got it wrong," said Lavrov, smiling as the two pushed the reset button together before dinner at a Geneva hotel.

He told Clinton the word "Peregruzka" meant "overcharge", to which Clinton replied: "We won't let you do that to us."


Who's brilliant friggin' idea was it to hand the guy a big red button to begin with ?

Что можем сказать серьезно Россию.

 

that makes no sense.

 

Что
нам
сказать.

(Вот и ответ на оригинальный пост)

 

it still is syntactically incorrect.

 

Cold war is over. Doesn't matter at this point.

 

Except for the fact that it may be heating up again. Do you not read the international news??

 

which international news? the ones by british spinned BBC?

 

Same old ignorant draqon, eh? Do you really think they are the ONLY international news source in the entire world????:bugeye:

And for someone who claims to interested in Russia's future, you apparently make NO effort to keep yourself informed, do you????

Will you now run away and hide like you've done before when I challenged some of your less-than-intelligent remarks??? (And I passed up several others that I could have easily treated the same way. Would you prefer I highlight EVERY idiotic thing you post?? Just say so and I'll be happy to do it.)
