"From rags to riches" ist in der Tat die in den USA gebräuchliche Form.

Ob es sich bei "from dishwasher to millionaire" nun tatsächlich um eine Rückübersetzung aus dem Deutschen handelt - wie deine Lehrerin zu vermuten scheint - habe ich nicht recherchiert.

Ich kann dir nur sagen, daß ich bei "dishwasher" zunächst die Maschine assoziiere.
Vermutlich geht das vielen Sprechern so.

Meine Empfehlung daher: Nimm "from rags to riches."

Diese Redewendung ist eher DENGLISCH, eine Rückübersetzung aus dem Deutschen, auch wenn sie verständlich ist.

Die Redewendung lautet normalerweise:

from rags to riches.

Ist halt ein Sprichwort, die übersetzt man normalerweise nicht wörtlich, weis es bei dem beispiel nicht genau, ich glaube aber dass beides geht

Rags to riches ist die bessere Form ;) Der US-Kinderfilm "Rags" spielt sogar mit der Redewendung, wo der Protagonis Rags als Tellerwäscher anfängt und so weiter...

Hilfe bei meiner Englisch-Hausaufgabe

Hallo ich habe eine Englischhausaufgabe für morgen auf und zwar habe ich einen Essay vorliegen, der unstrukturiert ist und nicht fließend ist. Deshalb muss ich diesen Essay in seine richtige Reihenfolge bringen und mit Bindungwörtern fließender schreiben. Ich würde mich sehr freuen wenn Ihr mir dabei helfen würdet.

(1) Barack Obama living the American Dream; Martin Luther King dying for it because he dared to challenge a society where segregation of races was accepted; a confident black middle class, but blacks are still discriminated against: how realistic is the American Dream?

(2) My view of the American Dream is complicated - I can see two sides to it. There is the idea that anyone can be succesful in American society, i.e that it doesn´t matter how poor you are.

(3) Through hard work you can create a better life for yourself. This is believed in it, and many of them have been succesful.

(4) Part of this idea is that anyone can become a millionaire or even a president of the USA. Most people know that is much more difficult than it sounds. Most US presidents in recent years have been very rich. Running for President costs a lot of money. All Americans are supposed to be equal, but some are definitely more equal than others.

(5) It certainly helped George Bush Jr. that he had a rich daddy when he wanted to become President.

(6) If people have to be rich to be President, it´s obvious that presidents will have less sympathy for the poor. The basic idea is that "If they´re poor, that´s because they haven´t worked hard enough."

(7) There is the other side, too.

(8) Things have changed enormously since the 1950s. In the 1950s the election of a non-white president was unthinkable, and nowadays the mayors of many big cities are black.

(9)Discrimination makes sure that some are more equal than others. As an old song from the 1950s goes, "If you´re black, stay back. If you´re brown, stick around. If you´re white, you´re all right.

(10)For me, the only sensible approach to the American Dream is to say that it helps people by giving them the belief that they can improve their lives through hard work. The popular idea that anybody can become a millionaire or US president is missleading. These are impossible goals for most people, even if they do work very hard.

Hab ich Mediation über "American Dream" richtig gemacht?

Hallöchen,

ich brauch unbedingt Hilfe, und zwar musste ich eine Mediation vom deutschen ins englischen schreiben, über diesen Artikel:

http://www.zeit.de/2012/43/Amerikanischer-Traum-Reportage-USA

Die Mediation soll eine Rede vor amerikanischen Studenten sein. Bei einer Mediation muss man ja auch "verharmlosen" und ich weiß nicht so Recht ob ich das richtig gemacht habe und ob ich allgemein alles beachtet habe was man bei einer mediation beachten soll...ich wäre auch sehr dankbar darüber wenn auch auf grammatikalische Fehler hingewiesen wird!! :D Ich bin für jede Hilfe sehr dankbar :D Vielen vielen Dank schon mal :)))

Dear fellow students, I want to talk about the American Dream and wheter the American Dream is still alive. For my presentation I used the articel "Dream America" by Carolin Emcke, which is published on the 24th of october 2012 in "Die Zeit", a well-regarded German news-paper.

The Americans believe, that everyone can reach something on his own. This belief exists for a long time and because of that, it seems like the American Dream exists from the beginning of the world. The idea behind the American Dream is, that everyone, no matter which origins, religion, have the same opportunity to achieve success. This is why the United States called "the country with unlimited opportunities". But nowhere you can find the inventor of the American Dream. In the Charta from 1176, where the Americans declared themselves indepentent of Britain, you can find the terms freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But the term "American Dream" is not named. The first one, who defined the American identity as a dream, was John Truslow Adams. He wrote a book, in which he gives people hope for achieving success, if they work hard. He defines the American Dream not only as a material success. The American Dream includes also the acceptance in the society and self-awarness. But will the American Dream survive the financial crisis? And do the unemployed still stand fast the American Dream? Or is the American Dream just a dream? Adams writes in his book, that the Americans achieved the American Dream with the Westward Movement, with the independence of the Americans and with hard work. There are still Americans, who believes the formula: "from rags to riches." Thank you for listining.

Kann mir jemand in Englisch helfen?

Hallo,

Ich soll stilistische Mittel aus der Rede von Obama ,,Yes we can" raussuchen und erklären. Ich habe bisher Anpaher und allusion, aber mein Lehrer will das wir auch eine Personifikation und Alliteration raussuchen, jedoch finde ich gar keine.

Kann mir bitte jemand helfen?

In the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds ; when we've been told that we're not ready, or that we shouldn't try, or that we can't, generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up the spirit of a people. Yes we can. It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom through the darkest of nights. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballot ; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land. Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. And so tomorrow, as we take this campaign South and West; as we learn that the struggles of the textile worker in Spartanburg are not so different than the plight of the dishwasher in Las Vegas; that the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in America's story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea -Yes. We. Can.

Danke im Voraus

Kann jemand freundlicherweise über meinen Englisch Aufsatz schauen?

Fair trade seeks to give workers in poorer countries a fair share of the profit from the goods that they produce. Is it important to buy fair trade products?

**Today, less and less companies produce in western countries. Instead, productions of material goods have been shifted from industrialized to so-called low-wage countries. This has concrete reasons: companies can be produced at lower costs and they can at the same time sell their products at a good price for consumers. That sounds good at first, but there is a catch. The consequences of cheap production are exploitation of people and workers and also of the environment and resources. People live in abject poverty. Often their children have to work because wages do not cover living expenses. Thereby these people have no access to basic health care and education. Not only does a broad crowd of the producer for our goods exposed cheap labor they are also in contact with a lot of toxic chemicals. That applies to the production of denim fabrics for example. To address this situation and to think of the interests of the developing nations, you can help with the purchase of Fair Trade products. Fair Trade offers a direct and easy way to improve the situation of producers. By buying fair trade products, consumers can contribute to socially, economically or environmentally sustainable production and at the same time also to take a stand against modern slavery. Sure, Fair Trade has disadvantages. The seal is also assigned if only a part complies with the production of the fair trade conditions. In addition there are reduced choice of products and fair trade is mostly more expensive as normal products. It is also important to noted that certification by seal is very expensive for companies. That means that products without Fair Trade seal could be fairly traded.

Nonetheless we are living in a world with a growing gap between rich and poor countries. The simple choice of what cocoa or coffee you buy can mean the difference between life and death for some of the world's poorest people. If people spend their money for Fair Trade products as for commercial companies that companies goes bankrupt and they are compelled to produce Fair Trade. Demand determines supply. As people who belong to the ‘’rich’’ of this world, it should be a concern for us to help the poor. To pay attention to our consumer behavior is a first and very helpful step towards justice. ** #### Headline ####

DRINGEND Hilfe bei Blog comment gebraucht?

Hallo,

ich muss zu diesem Blog post ein Blog comment schreiben und weiß nicht weiter, da ich den Text kompliziert finde. Hat jemand bitte Ideen für mich? Es müssen 150-180 Wörter sein.

In the emotionally charged immigration debate, the voice of economic experts often remains unheard. They maintain that immigration is here to stay. The increasing mobility of people is part of our globalised world and globalised economy. Immigration is simply a question of supply and demand. As long as the rich world creates jobs, workers from poor countries will keep pouring in to fill them, and immigration makes economic sense. Due to aging populations and a sinking birthrate in advanced economies, immigration is increasingly becoming an economic necessity. Moreover, well-qualified immigrants are the quickest and easiest way to fill the skills gap.

Lyrik: Worum geht es in diesem Gedicht?

Hallo,

ich lese gerne Gedichte in meiner Freizeit, doch manchmal verstehe ich nicht wirklich, was der Autor aussagen möchte.

Was würdet ihr sagen, ist die Aussagen von diesen Gedicht?

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand 
And Eternity in an hour.

A Robin Redbreast in a Cage
Puts all Heaven in a Rage.
A dove house fill’d with doves and pigeons
Shudders Hell thro’ all its regions.
A Dog starv’d at his Master’s Gate
Predicts the ruin of the State.
A Horse misus’d upon the Road
Calls to Heaven for Human blood.
Each outcry of the hunted Hare
A fiber from the Brain does tear.

He who shall train the Horse to War
Shall never pass the Polar Bar.
The Beggar’s Dog and Widow’s Cat,
Feed them and thou wilt grow fat.
The Gnat that sings his Summer song 
Poison gets from Slander’s tongue.
The poison of the Snake and Newt
Is the sweat of Envy’s Foot.

A truth that’s told with bad intent
Beats all the Lies you can invent.
It is right it should be so;
Man was made for Joy and Woe;
And when this we rightly know
Thro’ the World we safely go.

Every Night and every Morn
Some to Misery are Born.
Every Morn and every Night
Some are Born to sweet delight.
Some are Born to sweet delight,
Some are Born to Endless Night.
