  **[|source]** Оце мене на чужині Нудьга і осінь. Боже милий, Де ж заховатися мені? Що діяти? Уже й гуляю По цім //Аралу,// і пишу. Віршую нищечком, грішу. Бог зна колишнії случаї В душі своїй перебираю Та списую; щоб та печаль Не перлася, як той москаль, В самотню душу. Лютий злодій Впирається-таки, та й годі. || Like for the duty, they surrounded <span style="background-color: #fffff0; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">Me here in the foreign land <span style="background-color: #fffff0; display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; text-align: justify;">Boredom and autumn.

We do not have real practice in any other subject, so having a real practice in English was a novel and exciting experience. When I found out that our task was to translate from Ukrainian into English, I became a bit discouraged. Of course, translating from English into Ukrainian would be much easier. Also, I was afraid I could spoil the poetry of Taras Shevchenko. However, soon I realized that more complex experience is more challenging and exciting and started working. Luckily, everyone could choose a poem independently. I chose one which was not very renowned but corresponded perfectly with with my mood. It truly impressed me and I tried to convey the same mood to the translation. The process of translating turned to be surprisingly easier than I thought, even some rhymes appeared. For some period I was thinking about it, but eventually I translated most of the poem in one evening. Overall, I was pleased with the result, and also I enjoyed translations of my classmates. media type="custom" key="25963308"
