How would one say the following?

There are 11 births per 1,000 people.
There are 16 deaths per 1,000 people.
Overall, the population growth rate is negative .484%

Есть 11 рождествах из 1,000 человек.
Есть 16 смертельных случаев из 1,000 человек.
В целом, темп прироста населения - отрицательные .484 проценты.

Спасибо!

What do you mean by "приростра"? And how do you imagine a negative growth by 484 per cent? ;-))

[ex-denisie.livejournal.com]

When 384 % of migrants also die! =)))

With painfull torture death.

11 рождений на 1000 человек
16 смертей на 1000 человек
Итого, темп прироста населения - отрицательный .484 процента.

где вы в русском видели такой способ записи дробных чисел?!

Re: ¿?

[buddah-gautama.livejournal.com]

Да, логично...:)

Re: ¿?

[ex-denisie.livejournal.com]

да меня самого передергивают, когда вижу в книжках таких горе-переводчиков что-то вроде "$10,000,000" или "5 3/8 пункта"...

=)

I have to remind that the working language of this community is English. Besides, "5 3/8 пункта" looks perfectly OK to me. What exactly is wrong with that?

Re: ¿?

[ex-denisie.livejournal.com]

Everything is to be translated, also numbers.

Re: ¿?

[oryx_and_crake]

You did not answer my question: what exactly is wrong with "5 3/8 пункта"?

Re: ¿?

[ex-denisie.livejournal.com]

Writing fractional numbers in such way is not in Russian language tradition. When americans for example can "feel" 3/8, russian people need to calculate this fraction to understand properly its value.
It must be translated as "5,375" I think.

Re: ¿?

[oryx_and_crake]

Very funny. May I ask how are you going to "translate" 1/3 then? As 0,3333333333333333333333333333333333? What about 1/(square root(2))? (sorry, cannot reproduce the square root here)

Re: ¿?

[ex-denisie.livejournal.com]

1/3 is ok, 1/5 is also ok, 1/sqrt(2) is not commonly used and should be written as algebraical expression...

I mean this typical american style of writing fractional numbers like "23 3/16 points" or "12 3/4 miles"

Re: ¿?

[oryx_and_crake]

I don't see anything "typically american" in it.

It's not problem of language, just a problem of translation

Re: ¿?

[wolk-off.livejournal.com]

I agree, I agree, but pray don't forget that English is the working language here :)

Рождаемость - 11 на 1,000 человек, смертность - 16 случаев на 1,000 человек
В целом, прирост населения отрицательный.

Или так. На 1,000 человек приходится 11 рождений
На 1,000 человек приходится 16 смертей.
В целом, прирост населения отрицательный.

[ex-denisie.livejournal.com]

опять: что это за запятые?!

[mr-uef.livejournal.com]

...отрицательный, и составляет 0,484%.

[padruka1988.livejournal.com]

спасибо!!

[ex-denisie.livejournal.com]

One more important thing.
When writing numbers in Russian never ignore leading zero and use comma:

"0,484 процентов"
Such and only such way!

[miketaran.livejournal.com]

0,484 процентA

[ex-denisie.livejournal.com]

Right!
