perhaps you can never

Non-PRO English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
I look to the newspapers as indicators that serious steps have been taken in the last months which have changed the constitutional basis of the United States government. Perhaps you can never see a retreat. But you are in a period of resistance. Resistance is carrying the idea of the thing that you want.

Thank you very much.
Change log

Feb 20, 2023 10:12: changed "Kudoz queue" from "In queue" to "Public"

Feb 22, 2023 11:03: Clauwolf changed "Level" from "PRO" to "Non-PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): AllegroTrans, Yvonne Gallagher, Clauwolf

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Thank you again Tony TK. You are most kind and helpful! I appreciate it :)
Sofia Gutkin Feb 22, 2023:
I agree - this shouldn't be on KudoZ @Epcia33 - you are literally clogging up my KudoZ feed with all your questions. I don't even know what you want. Like the others said, get a transcriber, hire an English native or something, but please stop using other translators to do all your work for you.
Bashiqa Feb 22, 2023:
Pro or not pro Are they really questions for translators?
Cilian O'Tuama Feb 22, 2023:
If you don't think they're PRO, then vote NON-PRO.

We used to do that quite a lot ages ago, when the site seemed to strive for quality.
AllegroTrans Feb 21, 2023:
None of these questions are PRO and none of them ought to go into the glossary
Maybe a moderator could squash the older ones
TonyTK Feb 21, 2023:
@Epcia33 It might be better if you preface every question with: "Does anyone understand what she's saying?". It appears that answerers are sometimes trying to interpret what you yourself think you hear - but that's not what she actually said.

No time to listen to all the clips, but it's not uninteresting.

@Chris: it could well be a paid job. If I was doing it and couldn't decipher parts of it, I'd probably ask for help as well.
AllegroTrans Feb 20, 2023:
@ Ice Scream Totally agree. What's more, the asker is not doing really helping himself/herself by posting these short snippets, with the risk of mistakes that entails
Chris Says Bye Feb 20, 2023:
Enough already... Many years ago we agreed to produce the proceedings of an international conference, unaware of how bad the recording would be, and we PAID a professional transcriber to transcribe the text for us...
FPC Feb 20, 2023:
I don't understand what the question is. What do you want to know? "Perhaps you can never" isn't clear to you?
Bashiqa Feb 20, 2023:
Have you ever tried answering questions?
