Oversættelse

Hej.

Nogen der har lyst til at kigge min oversættelse igennem?

På forhånd tak.

Dansk del:

Selv ser hun det ikke som nogen ulykke, at vi forlader industrialismens tanke om en skarp opdeling af tiden i ottertimersblokke med arbejde, søvn og hvile. Sådan har hun alligevel aldrig selv skelnet mellem arbejde og fritid, men i sin bog gør hun meget ud af, at vi i det mindste tager stilling til, hvordan vi forholder os til tid. At vi f.eks. indimellem, når det brænder på, forsøger at stoppe tiden.

"Når nogle suges ind i en præstationsspiral, hvor tingene går hurtigere og hurtigere, er det ikke godt for tankerne. Specielt ikke for en forsker, men jeg ser det ikke så sjældent ske for nogle af mine forskerkolleger, og så råder jeg dem altid til at tage hjem i en uge. Ikke fordi de skal rejse til udlandet eller holde ferie. De skal bare være derhjemme og gøre sig stor umage for at tænke på ingen verdens ting. Det er ikke så let, men efterhånden kommer tankerne og eftertankerne tilbage. Man må simpelthen helt væk i en periode", siger Bodil Jönsson.

Hun går også meget ind for, at man skifter den ene livsløgn ud med den anden. Hendes store forbillede i den retning er hendes egen farmor, som aldrig var i tidsnød. Hun havde altid, når nogen havde brug for hende. Ifølge Bodil Jönsson er der tale om et valg.

Engelsk del (min oversættelse):

She herself does not see it as a problem that we are leaving the industrialism’s thought about a sharp division of time into eight-hour blocks with work, sleep and rest. She herself has never differentiated between work and spare time like that, but in her book she stresses that we at least make up our minds about how we relate to time – e.g. that we sometimes try to stop time when we are in a hurry.

“When some are being sucked into a spiral of performance, where things move faster and faster, it isn’t very good for the thoughts. Especially not for a scientist, yet I see often see it happen for some of my scientific colleagues, and then I always advise them to go home for a week. Not because they should travel abroad or take a vacation. They should just stay at home and take great care not to think about anything. It isn’t easy, but gradually the thoughts and the reflections come back. One simply has to be completely gone for a period of time”, says Bodil Jönsson.
She also fervently approves of changing one life lie out with another. Her great role model in that regard is her own grandmother, who was never pressed for time. She always had time, when someone needed her. According to Bodil Jönsson, it is a matter of choice.
