Помогите сократить текст, чтобы он не потерял смысл Many, many years ago in the 10th century there lived a beautiful Belarusian princess of royal blood Barbara Radziwill. She lived in a castle in Nesvizh with her two brothers, Mikalai Radziwill Chorny and Mikalai Radziwill Rudy. Her parents died when she was a little girl and her brothers took care of her. One day a ball was held in the castle. Zhygimont, the king of Poland, was invited to the ball. Zhygimont was tall and very handsome with dark hair and blue eyes. When he saw Barbara, he fell in love at first sight. Though Barbara’s brothers and Zhygimont’s mother, Bona Sfortsa, were against their love, they still continued to see each other and then married secretly. When Bona Sfortsta found out about their marriage, she was very angry and decided to kill Barbara. She gave her a poisoned ring. Soon Barbara fell seriously ill and doctors couldn’t help her. In a month she died. She was buried in Belarus but her grave was never found. Zhygimont couldn’t forget Barbara. He found a magician and asked him to help him see Barbara again. The Magician agreed but said that Zhygimont couldn’t touch the ghost of Barbara. At night, when Zhygimont saw Barbara, he couldn’t keep his word. He ran up to Barbara and tried to touch her. Barbara disappeared. Zhygimont couldn’t live without Barbara and died. Since that time the castle of Nesvizh has been visited by the ghost of the beautiful woman. People call it the Black Lady. 1. Переведите письменно следующий текст: The nature of electricity The ancient Greeks knew that when a piece of amber is rubbed with wool or fur it achieves the power of attracting light objects. Later on the phenomenon was studied, and, the word electric, after the Greek word ’electron", meaning amber was used. Many scientists investigated electric phenomena, and during the nineteenth century many discoveries about the nature of electricity, and of magnetism, which is closely related to electricity, were made. It was found that if a sealing-wax rod is rubbed with a woolen cloth, and, a rod of glass is rubbed with a silken cloth; an electric spark would pass between the sealing-wax rod and the glass rod when they are brought near one another. Moreover, it was found that a force of attraction operates between them. A wax rod repels an electrified sealing wax, however, and also an electrified glass rod is repelled, by a similar glass rod. The ideas were developed that there are two kinds of electricity, which were called resinous electricity, and that opposite kinds of electricity attract one another, whereas similar kinds repel one another. 2.
