That sounds so wrong. I hope she doesn't do drugs. |
I'm thinking (and hoping) that it's just a misunderstanding of the phrase 'to get high' -_- |
OMG, are you serious? she meant "reach" the furthest goal she can in this sport.
I know you are english native speakers but really...it is not very difficult to go beyond the meaning of that sentence and put it into context |
That was why I had to ask. I thought she meant something along those lines, and as I said, " high as in ranked high?" And yes, it is difficult to figure out what someone is trying to say when you're functioning on four hours of sleep
Sorry if it sounded as if I was being rude; I'm genuinely curious as to the meaning. Does she mean 'rank high' or perform at a high level, or perform cleanly - no offence intended. I would actually like to know what she means. |
Actually I was quoting more Hoops and Grand Fouettes than you since you tried to "get" the meaning of the sentence. But of all possible meanings, and if we are talking about an RG gymnast, to do drugs is the last anyone could come up with.
You could argue a bad translation or whatever but believe Carol is doing drugs to get high in a church...
Btw, by "she", who do you mean, Carol or albita?? I can hear and try to translate literally if you want |
albita. I haven't watched the documentary yet, but I shouldn't have too much trouble understanding it. But thank you for offering _________________ My youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/xxJodelleFerlandxx?feature=mhee

I didn't watch the documentary yet. but i agree with Ybalka,once in a million when we don't discuss about my favourite Kondakova,it happens that we agree on something.- RG gymnast and drugs don't go together !
I read this sentence few times and i don't think it "sounds so wrong",
It sounds like a very ambitious gymnast who has such a strong desire to success and to rank high that she is doing some weird things like training in unheated places,a church.."
And a little OT, the only drug i have in my life is RG |

the actual english speakers are outnumbered on this forum, so im not surprised that some people may say things the wrong way and come on people, how could u ever put "drugs" and "gymnast" in the same sentence... |

Does anybody know the name of the song that starts in the background at 17:20? It's so familiar, but I just can't recognize it at the moment... Thank you! _________________ http://www.hot.ee/rhythmicgymnastics/ |
