“The Tailors and the Snail” Four and twenty tailors Went to kill a snail, The best man among them Durst not touch her tail; She put out her horns Like a little Kyloe cow, Run, tailors, run, Or she'll kill you all e'en now.

S. Marshak Однажды двадцать пять портных Вступили в бой с улиткой В руках у каждого из них Была иголка с ниткой! Но еле ноги унесли, Спасаясь от врага, Едва завидели вдали Улиткины рога.

S. Marshak 1 kept the general structure and poetic rhythm 2 increased the number of tailors 3 sped up the rhythm of the poem, dramatized the poem

K. Chukovsky Наши-то портные Храбрые какие: «Не боимся мы зверей, Ни волков, ни медведей!» А как вышли за калитку Да увидели улитку – Испугалися, Разбежалися! Вот они какие, Храбрые портные!

K. Chukovsky increased the number of the lines -repeated the lines - changes the plot - stressed the irony - made fun of boasting - added the didactic tone

The comparison of translations The characters, the idea, the irony of the poem 1. The similar things to the originals 2. The different things to originals The title, the actions of the characters 3. The differences between translations Marshak developed the plot of the poem. Chukovski created his own one.

Conclusions: - Both writer’s translations reflected features of Russian folk literature. -The songs and poems translated by Chukovsky are hardly considered to by translations. He only used the general idea of the English poems to create his own ones. -Marshak preserved the sense, the mood and the rhythm of the original poems. Changing the plot of the poems he made them funny. He kept the general structure and poetic rhythm of the original. Both writers kept the original intonation, irony and imagination. Both writers highlighted the main function of folk works. That is to bring up children through humour.

Nowadays these poems are considered to be an important part of Russian classical literature
