Trecho

Cada passagem no idioma que você está aprendendo, com a tradução logo abaixo.

Do práce jsem nastoupil, sotva jsem vyšel z obecné školy.

I went to work when I was just out of grammar school.

Dostal jsem místo písaře kurzovní tabule v makléřské kanceláři.

I got a job as quotation-board boy in a stock-brokerage office.

S čísly jsem byl rychlý.

I was quick at figures.

Ve škole jsem udělal tři roky počtů za jeden.

At school I did three years of arithmetic in one.

Obzvlášť dobrý jsem byl v počítání zpaměti.

I was particularly good at mental arithmetic.

Jako písař kurzovní tabule jsem zapisoval čísla na velkou tabuli v sále pro

As quotation-board boy I posted the numbers on the big board in the customers’

zákazníky.

room.

Jeden ze zákazníků obvykle sedával u telegrafního přístroje a vyvolával ceny.

One of the customers usually sat by the ticker and called out the prices.

Nemohly přicházet tak rychle, abych nestačil.

They couldn’t come too fast for me.

Čísla jsem si vždycky pamatoval.

I have always remembered figures.

Bez sebemenší námahy.

No trouble at all.

V té kanceláři pracovala spousta dalších zaměstnanců.

There were plenty of other employes in that office.

S ostatními chlapci jsem se samozřejmě spřátelil,

Of course I made friends with the other fellows,

ale práce, kterou jsem dělal,

but the work I did,

když byl trh živý,

if the market was active,

mě zaměstnávala od deseti dopoledne

kept me too busy from ten A.M.

do tří odpoledne

to three P.M.

natolik, že jsem si moc nepopovídal.

to let me do much talking.

Nestojím o to,

I don’t care for it,

ostatně,

anyhow,

v pracovní době.

during business hours.

Ale rušný trh mi nebránil přemýšlet o práci.

But a busy market did not keep me from thinking about the work.

Ty kurzy pro mě nepředstavovaly ceny akcií,

Those quotations did not represent prices of stocks to me,

tolik a tolik dolarů za akcii.

so many dollars per share.

Byla to čísla.

They were numbers.

Samozřejmě,

Of course,

něco znamenala.

they meant something.

Neustále se měnila.

They were always changing.

Jen to mě mělo zajímat —

It was all I had to be interested in —

změny.

the changes.

Proč se měnila?

Why did they change?

Nevěděl jsem.

I didn’t know.

Bylo mi to jedno.

I didn’t care.

Nepřemýšlel jsem o tom.

I didn’t think about that.

Prostě jsem viděl, že se mění.

I simply saw that they changed.

Jen na to jsem musel myslet pět hodin denně a v sobotu dvě:

That was all I had to think about five hours every day and two on Saturdays:

že se neustále mění.

that they were always changing.
