Take two: Where is the hope?
An dàrna turas: Càit a bheil an dòchas?
Let's have a look at this conversation again.
Bhite an dòchas an dèidh an Dàrna Cogaidh gun cuirte an saoghal an òrdugh agus gum faicte sìth airson greiseag co-dhiù.
It would have been hoped that after the Second World War the world would be put in order and peace would be seen for a while at least.
Cha bhite an dùil gum faicte a leithid de chogadh is de ghort san linn seo.
It would not have been expected to see so much war and famine in this century.
'S dòcha nach bite, ach saoil an e an t-eadar-lìon as coireach?
Maybe not, but I wonder if the internet is to blame?
Dè tha thu a' ciallachadh?
What do you mean?
Gheibhte cogadh is gort fad linntean air feadh an t-saoghail roimhe seo, ach chan fhaicte e cho bitheanta san Iar.
War and famine would be found [existed] throughout the world for centuries before now, but would not be so commonly seen in the West.
Cha chluinnte a' bheachd sin ro thric. Tha sealladh farsaing againn air an t-saoghal gu lèir ri linn an eadar-lìn.
That opinion wouldn’t be heard too often. We have a wide view of the whole world because of the internet.
Ach, a chàirdean, 's ann mu dheidhinn dòchas a tha an Cuspair seo. Tha an cuspair a th' againn an-dràsta dòrainneach.
But, friends, this Topic is about hope. Our current topic is harrowing/boring.
Càit a bheil an dòchas?
Where is the hope?
Cha chluinnear dòchas anns na naidheachdan. Son an fhìrinn innse, cha chluinnte agus chan fhaicte mòran dòchais anns na naidheachdan a-riamh!
Hope is not heard in the news. To tell the truth, you would never (in the past) hear or see much hope in the news!
Fuirichibh mionaid! Tha e agam! STAD.
Wait a minute! I've got it! STAD [STOP].
Uill, thàinig sin gun dùil! Cò air a tha thu a-mach a-nist?
Well, that came unexpectedly! What are you on about now?
S-T-A-D! Sianal telebhisein an dòchais! STAD! Chan fhaicear agus cha chluinnear ach naidheachd mhath. Gheibhear dòchas ann am pailteas an sin!
S-T-A-D [STOP]! A television channel of hope! STAD [STOP]! Only good news can be seen and heard. Hope can be found in abundance there!
