Look, there's a saltwater taffy store on the dock, and somebody's gotta get paid to scrape the barnacles off of it. Слушайте, в доках есть кондитерский магазин, и кто-то должен получать деньги за его очистку от моллюсков.
To paraphrase the comedian Fred Allen, “On ships they call them barnacles; at the World Bank, they attach themselves to desks and are called vice presidents.” Перефразируя комика Фреда Аллена, “На судах, они называют их моллюсками; во Всемирном Банке, они прилипают к столам и называются вице-президентами”.
The World Bank is like an old ship: in its seven decades, all kinds of barnacles – sticky budgetary accretions and transaction costs – have accumulated on its hull, steadily impeding its speed and performance. Всемирный банк, как старый корабль: за те семь десятилетий его работы, все виды моллюсков – налипающие бюджетные разрастания и транзакционные издержки – накопились на его корпусе, неуклонно препятствуя его скорости и эффективности.
Were early travels inspired by observing migratory bird routes from Scotland and Ireland, which nowadays include those of the barnacle goose and pink-footed goose? Могли ли древние путешественники руководствоваться маршрутами перелетных птиц, улетавших из Шотландии и Ирландии, таких как, к примеру, современные белощекие казарки или короткоклювые утки?
Don't stand there like barnacles. Не стойте, как истуканы.
It has no bacteria on its surface, no fouling on its surface, no barnacles. На ее поверхности нет бактерий, нет гниения, нет прилипал.
No, this theory comes from an expert on barnacles and worms and pigeon breeding, and you know who I mean: Нет, эта теория предложена специалистом по ракам и червям и по разведению голубей.
He tried to climb back up the side of the hull, in the process, breaking off the barnacles and lacerating himself down to bone. Он пытался взобраться обратно по боку корпуса, срывая в процессе ракушки и царапаясь о них прямо до кости.
Here he wrote an account of his travels and worked on detailed scientific treatises about corals and barnacles and the geology and fossils of South America. Здесь он написал отчет о своих путешествиях, и здесь же работал над детальными научными трактатами о кораллах, о казарках, о геологии и окаменелостях Южной Америки.
But the Bank’s performance epitomizes how even well designed and well-built ships slow down as the barnacles build up, until they must cede the way to newer vessels. Но эффективность банка олицетворяет насколько, даже хорошо спроектированные и хорошо построенные корабли замедляют ход по мере нарастания ракушек, до момента, когда они должны будут уступить дорогу более новым судам.
