Практикум по синхронному переводу с русского языка на английский

о происходящем в самых далеких уголках земного шара — a simple
translation of происходящем is "events," and with a fast speaker
"everywhere" will save a lot of time for "самых далеких уголках земно­
го шара."

1. 
   было бы неверным — the best solution here is "It would be wrong."
   "Incorrect" should be avoided; this sounds like a schoolteacher correcting
   a student.

5. 
   острого военного противостояния, острый стресс — the interpreter
   should not automatically think of "acute" for "острый," as more often
   than not this can mean "drastic," "critical," "urgent," "burning," or a
   good many other adjectives.
   

5. 
   десятки тысяч ядерных боеголовок — "tens of thousands" would
   sound very awkward in English, and "dozens of thousands" (since dozen
   is often a translation of десятка) is even worse. The idea is that there are
   lots and lots of them, and simply "many thousands" of nuclear warheads,
   or just "thousands of is quite enough.
   

5. 
   топчутся на месте переговоры — the negotiations are stalled, not going
   anywhere, marking time, at a standstill will all do here.
   

8) неоправданно — here "unwarranted" works much better than
"unjustified," which would require an explanation — unjustified for what
reason?
9) здание придет в упадок — edifice is much better than building, both
because it is stylistically more literary and because "building" could be the
gerund of the verb "to build" as well as a noun.
