• Упражнение 6. Прочтите цитату из речи Стивена Фрай и передайте ее на русский язык, обращая внимание на перевод эмоционально-окрашенных слов. Где необходимо используйте соответствующие приемы перевода.

"I am a lover of truth, a worshipper of freedom, a celebrant at the altar of language and purity and toler­ance. That is my religion, and every day I am sorely, grossly, heinously and deeply offended, wounded, mortified and injured by a thousand different blasphe­mies against it. When the fundamental canons of truth, honesty, compassion and decency are hourly assaulted by fatuous bishops, pompous, illiberal and ignorant priests, politicians and prelates, sanc­timonious censors, self-appointed moralists and busy-bodies, what recourse of ancient laws have I? None whatever. Nor would I ask for any. For unlike these blistering imbeciles my belief in my religion is strong and I know that lies will always fail and inde­cency and intolerance will always perish."
