XXI. a) Translate the following fragments into Russian (in writing)!
A.There are many people whom the theatre fills with an excitement which no familiarity can stale. It is to them a world of mystery and delight; it gives them entry into a realm of the imagination which increases their joy in life, and its illusion colours the ordinariness of their daily round with the golden shimmer of romance. W. S. Maugham
B.In the Theatre we are proud to serve, ideas merely play like summer lightning over, a deep lake of feeling; the intellect may be quickened there, but what is more important is that the imagination of the spectator begins to be haunted, so that long after he has left the play-house the actors are still with him, still telling him of their despair and their hope. J. B. Priestley
