Adverts

This advert of jbs mens underwear would attract the attention of men and propably of many women, because this advert want men to buy their product and maybe also women. With the sexy naked woman actually every man would get an eye full. A sexy woman sitting naked on the toilet just with an underpants of JBS between their legs and her attractive long brown hair covering the shapely breasts. In her hands she is holding a Motor Sport magazine but her look stresses directly on the viewer of this advert. Peripherally she is sitting in a quite nice bathroom which is able to catch also women's looks. With the phrase "Men don't want to look at naked men" JBS encapsulates exactly to what almost every man would agree but noone of them ever wasted much thought on. Many men think by buying a JBS underwear such a woman would think they're attractive. All in all it's a very succeeded advert which attracts many attention and so can convince a lot of people for JBS mens underwear.

TRANSLATION

Translation 3:

1. Translate the passage into German!

In „Looking for Richard“, äußert der Schauspieler und Regisseur Al Pacino seine große Hoffnung für seinen Film – um seinen Enthusiasmus für die Theaterstücke der Dichter an ein breiteres Publikum auszudehnen. Auf eine andere Art und Weise, das ist was Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom) mit dieser radikalen Vorgehensweise mit „Romeo & Julia“ versucht zu machen. Luhrmann hat diesen Spielfilm mit dem schwerfälligen, elitären Shakespeare „Sprachreiniger“ nicht mit Absicht hergestellt aber hat - unter Berücksichtigung von lebhafter, moderner Bildersprache mit einem pochenden Rock-Soundtrack und coolen Schauspielern – auf ein Publikum, welches Shakespeare normalerweise, wahrscheinlich als Hausarbeit betrachtet, um in der Schule ertragen zu werden gezielt, nicht ein leidenschaftliches Drama um die Leinwand zu entzünden.

Mach keinen Fehler, diese Version von „Romeo & Julia“ ist nicht das Ebenbild von Franco Zeffirellis unvergesslichem Klassiker von 1968. Obwohl Leonardo DiCaprio und Claire Danes ein erfolgreiches Paar bilden, brennt ihre Romanze nicht so wie die Liebesaffäre mit der weißglühenden Intensität von Leonard Whiting und Olivia Hussey. Jedoch ist die Interpretation so fundamentalistisch anders von alldem was vor dieser kam, dass keine Gefahr der Wiederholung besteht. Bei demselben Vorkommnis hat es zwei verschiedene Versionen von Richard III. in den letzten zwölf Monaten gegeben, und niemand beschwert sich.

Für diejenigen die nicht wissen, dass „Romeo & Julia“ die Geschichte von zwei Jugendlichen, deren Liebe unter einem schlechten Stern steht, erzählt, welche im Geheimen füreinander nachgeben und heiraten. Ihre Familien, die Montagues und die Capulets, welche hitzige Feinde über Jahrzente gewesen sind, sind in einen Irrgarten der Gewalt verfangen und gerade als Romeo und Julia ihr Ehegelübde sagen, brechen neue Gewalttaten zwischen den beiden Stämmen aus.

2. Write out typical „theatre, Shakespeare, literature“ vocabulary!
