Dear Dad, $chool i$ really great (школа про$то $упер). I am making lot$ of friend$ (я дружу $о многими: «делаю кучи дру$ей») and $tudying very hard (и учу$ь у$иленно). With all my $tuff ($ моей нагру$кой), I $imply can't think of anything I need (я про$то не могу думать о чем-то, в чем я нуждаю$ь), $o if you would like (и е$ли ты хочешь), you can ju$t $end me a card (ты можешь по$лать мне открытку), a$ I would love to hear from you (так как я хочу получить изве$тие от тебя: «у$лышать от тебя»).
Love ($ любовью), Your $on (твой $ын) $hlomo
The Reply (ответ):
Dear Shlomo, I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy (я знаю, что астроNOмии, экоNOмики и океаNOграфии) are eNOugh to keep (довольNO, чтобы сделать: «держать, удерживать») even an hoNOr student busy (даже почетNOго студента занятым; honor – честь; honor student – особо хорошо успевающий студент, получающий известную долю независимости /в выборе того, чем ему заниматься/. При этом полагаются на его добросовестность – «честь»). Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge (NO не забудь, что погоня за знанием) is a NOble task (благородNOе дело: «задача»), and you can never study eNOugh (и ты не можешь никогда учиться достаточNO).
Love your father, NOach

A man walked (один человек пришел: «вошел») into a lawyer's office (в адвокатскую контору) and inquired (спросил, осведомился) about the lawyer's rates (о расценках, сколько берет). "$50.00 for three questions (за три вопроса)," replied the lawyer (ответил адвокат). "Isn't that awfully steep? («разве это не ужасно дорого»; steep – высокий, крутой)" asked the man (спросил этот человек). "Yes," the lawyer replied, "and what was your third question? (а каков ваш третий вопрос)"

A Jewish lady calls the newspaper (звонит в газету) and asks for the obituary section (отдел некрологов).
The obit guy asks (парень из отдела некрологов спрашивает), "What can I do for you? (что я могу сделать для вас = чем могу помочь»)"
"I'd like to place an obituary (я хотела бы поместить некролог)."
"Awright (= all right – хорошо, ладно: «все в порядке»), how would you like it to read? (как бы вы хотели, чтобы он звучал: «читался»)"
"Irving Cohen died (умер)."
"That's it? (это /все/) Irving Cohen died?"
"That's it."
"But you get four lines in the obit (но у вас четыре строчки для некролога). It's included in the price (это включено в цену)."
"All right. Irving Cohen died... Cadillac for sale (кадиллак на продажу = продается кадиллак)."
