Source text - Czech
Protože ukládaný trest se pohybuje v rozmezí trestní sazby kvalifikované skutkové podstaty zločinu znásilnění podle ustanovení § 185 odst. 2 trestního zákoníku (sazba 2 - 10 let), je zřejmé, že takto uložený trest je, co do druhu uložené trestu, tak jeho samotné výměry – pokud soud porovná způsob provedení činu, osobu poškozené (mladá žena, charakterizovaná jako zvlášť zranitelná oběť) a s tím související důsledky jednání odsouzeného, včetně absence upřímné lítosti odsouzeného (v podrobnostech blížeji s odkazem na odůvodnění rozsudku na č.l. 14 až 16 spisu) – zcela slučitelný s právním řádem České republiky a nepřicházelo tak v úvahu jeho případné přizpůsobení.
Translation - English
Since the sentence is within the statutory sentencing range for the aggravated felony of rape contrary to S 185 (2) Criminal Code (between 2–10 years), it is obvious that both in its nature and its length, the sentence is – when the Court compares the manner in which the act was carried out, the characteristics of the victim (young woman, described as a vulnerable victim) and thereto related consequences of the convicted person’s actions, including the convicted person’s lack of genuine remorse (for more details refer to sentencing remarks, case file, p. 14–16) – entirely consistent with the legal order of the Czech Republic, and any adjustment of the sentence was out of question.

-What do you think?
-I think it's been a long shift.
We give this bum three hours,
then we knock off.
-He was a vet.
-I salute his service.
Now he's a dead bum.
People are shooting bums all the time.
We might as well look for the tooth fairy.

-Why'd the kid jump through the window?
-Who knows? He was high.
-Did you ask him?
-Why am I the bad guy here?
I'm asking about the kid because
maybe he's related to the victim.
-You're not a bad guy.
You're just a bad cop.
-Who are you talking to?
Translation - Czech
-Tak co myslíš?
-Že tahle směna nebere konce.
Dáme tomu pobudovi tři hodiny
a pak to zabalíme.
-Byl to veterán.
-Čest jeho hrdinství.
Teď je to mrtvej pobuda.
Pobudy střílí kdekdo.
To můžeme rovnou hledat vílu Amálku.

-A proč proskočil tou výlohou?
-Vím já? Asi byl sjetej.
-Zeptal jste se ho?
-Proč jsem já tu za ničemu?
Ptám se na toho kluka,
protože to možná souvisí s obětí.
-Nejste ničema,
jen polda k ničemu.
-Jak to se mnou mluvíte?

Bio

I am a conference interpreter, court interpreter, and translator based in London. I work from English and Spanish into Czech, my mother tongue.


Experienced, 15 years a translator, + years a court interpreter. Qualified, with Diploma in Public Service Interpreting and Diploma in Translation, background in linguistics (I read Czech at Charles University in Prague). Vetted for UK government work. Registered with the National Register of Public Service Interpreters, Chartered Linguist (CIOL), a ProZ.com Certified PRO.


I translate law, as well as less rigid writing on politics, marketing, business, or humanities. I research, think through, check consistency, edit, and polish (often in Trados). A book or two in my translation are soon to be published. I also possess the technical and linguistic skills to subtitle films and TV series and localize websites and apps.


I interpret in courts, conference settings, business meetings, and even cultural events – here, preparation is key. DPSI examiners regarded me the best candidate in my year. Czech interpreter in Sheffield.
