Does someone have the time to take a look here?

 

 

A hundred years after the Titanic sank, two Swedish researchers on Thursday said when it comes to sinking ships, male chivalry is “a myth” and more men generally survive such disasters than women and children. “Our findings show that human behaviour in life-and-death situation is best captured by the expression ‘every man for himself’,” the authors wrote.

“Titanic” gemisinin batmasından yüz yıl sonra iki isveç araştırmacı perşembe günü batan gemiler söz konusu olduğunda erkeklerin centilmenliğinin bir efsane olduğunu ve kadınlarla çocuklardan daha çok erkeğin genellikle öyle afetlerden sağ kurtulduğunu belirtti. Eser sahipları, “Sonuçlarımız insanın ölüm-kalım meselesindeki davranışının en iyi şekilde ‘herkes başının çaresine baksın’ sözlerinle ifade edildiğini gösterir” diye yazdı.

 

 

The report also referred to the Titanic, which sank in the North Atlantic in the early morning of April 15, 1912. The researchers called the Titanic an exception to their findings. This was because its captain, Edward Smith, threatened to shoot those men who didn’t yield to women for lifeboat seats. Capt. Smith went down with his ship.

Rapor ayrıca 15 nisan 1912 günü sabah erken saatlerde Kuzey Atlantik’te batmış olan Titanic’ten söz etti. Araştırmacılar Titanic’in keşiflerinin istisna olduğunu söyledi. Bunun nedeni kaptan Edward Smith’in cankurtaran filikalarda oturacak yer kadınlara vermeyen erkekleri silahla vurarak öldürmekle tehdit etmesiydi. Kaptan Smith gemisinle aşağıya gitti.

 

 

On the Titanic, the captain´s role was crucial. As a rule, maritime disasters bring out the worst in men.

Titanic’te, kaptan önemli bir rol oynadı. Genellikle, deniz felaketleri erkeklerin en kötüsünü gösterir.

 

 

In 1994 when MS Estonia sank in the Baltic Sea 852 people were killed. Only 5 per cent of the women onboard survived, compared to 22 per cent of the men. Men, thanks to their physical strength, have better chances of surviving than women. The crew also is more likely to survive than passengers.

1994’te MS Estonia Baltik denizde battığında 852 kişi öldü. Gemideki kadınların yüzde 5  erkeklerin yüzde 22’ye naziran hayatta kaldı. Erkeklerin fiziksel güçleri yüzünden sağ kurtulmak için daha iyi şansları var. Mürettebatın kalması da yolculuklarınkinden daha muhtemeldir.

 

 

“I don’t think a captain should go down with the ship for the sake of going down with it. But you shouldn’t leave the ship until all passengers are safe, or you know that you have done everything you can to try to save them,” Lindvall said.

Lindvall “Kaptanın gemiyle aşağıya gelmek adına gemiyle aşağıya gelmesinin gerektiğini düşünmüyorum. Ama tüm yolculuklar güvende olmadan ya da elinden gelen her şeyi yapmış olduğunu bilmeden önce gemiyi bırakmamalısın” diye söyledi.

Sure.

 

Btw, in the news of today´s plane crash they expressed it using the other way round:

 

127 kişiden kurtulan yok.

İslamabad yakınlarında düşen uçaktaki 118 yolcu ve 9 mürettebattan kurtulan olmadığı belirtiliyor.

...Greece...

 

 

Accepting Greece to European Money Union was a naive decision which was based more on cultural than economic reasons. It was a beautiful thought that Greece to whose culture the whole continent owes so much shares the common currency from its very beginning. The state of Greek economy was ignored at that point. This has been admitted afterwards and this is what we are paying for now.

 

I personally believe Europe is going to overcome the crisis. The governments have a serious intention to help Greece out also even though it is going to be a long road.

Aşk kendinden vazgeçme halidir, kendi benliğini ezmeden ´´biz´´ olabilme halidir... İnsan egosu denetlenmesi en güç şeydir. Bunu ancak aşk becerebilir, sadece aşk ile üstünden atlayabilirsiniz...

 

 

My Try:

 

Love is a state where one lets go of himself, a state where it is possible to be "us" without defeating one´s own self. Controlling one´s ego is the most difficult thing. Only love can succeed in doing this, only with love you can rise above it.

Many want to join EU because after centuries of bloodshed Europe through serious efforts and cooperation has become the cradle of peace, welfare, human rights and democracy.

What is really strange here is the English use of kill. I never paid attention to it until I tried to translate it into Turkish... Just like the accident was personified.

 

Many kinds of euphemisms are used in languages when death is the issue. Good to know ölmek is not a word too harsh for normal use.

 

si++, thank you.

           "Five people were killed in an airplane crash."

 

Is it possible to use causative + passive öldürüldü in the corresponding Turkish sentence? If the simple öldü was used would it sound out of place? What about vefat etmek, could it be used when reporting an accidental death? (Suppose the sentence was in a newspaper.)

 

Just out of curiosity, is there a special verb for those who die in the battle field?
