Ein kalter Willkommen (Übersetzung 9)
Am Mittwoch Abend sind wir zum Rathaus gegangen. Es war der letzter Tag dieses Jahres und eine große Menschenmenge/Menschenansammlung (?) hatte sich unter der Rathausurh versammelt. Die Uhr würde in zwanzige Minuten zwölf schlagen. Fünfzehn Minuten ist vergangen und dann hat die Rathausuhr um fünf vor zwölf gestoppt(?). Die große Minutenzeiger bewegte sich nicht mehr. Wir warteten und warteten, aber nichts passierte. Pötzlich schreite jemand, "Es ist zwei nach zwölf! Die Uhr hat eigentlich gestoppt(?)!" Ich guckte mir meine Armbanduhr an - Es war wahr! Die große Uhr verweigte sich, das Neujahr zu empfangen! An diesem Augenblick haben alle angefangen, zu lachen und zu singen.
Der Originaltext:
A cold welcome
On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in twenty minutes' time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing happened. Suddenly someone shouted, ‘It's two minutes past twelve! The clock has stopped!* I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.
