Here’s Scarlett, in the garden of a friend’s house in London on a sunny summer morning, the kind of mornings that are unusual in England. Scarlett is twelve years old (‘Thirteen in November,\u201d she tells me), and is trying to understand the world around her. She asks questions about everything, all the time.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u0130ngiltere’de al\u0131\u015f\u0131lmad\u0131k t\u00fcrden g\u00fcne\u015fli bir yaz sabah\u0131, Londra’da bir arkada\u015f\u0131n\u0131n evinin bah\u00e7esinde, i\u015fte kar\u015f\u0131n\u0131zda Scarlett. Scarlett on iki ya\u015f\u0131nda (“Kas\u0131m’da On \u00dc\u00e7” diyor bana) ve etraf\u0131ndaki d\u00fcnyay\u0131 anlamaya \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yor. S\u00fcrekli her konuda soru soruyor.<\/p>\n
I tell her that I want to ask her a question, and I ask her why she’s called Scarlett, and what the name means, and if it comes from anywhere in particular, and she says: \u201cNo, it’s just a stupid name my parents chose because they liked it. It doesn’t mean anything.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ona bir soru sormak istedi\u011fimi s\u00f6yl\u00fcyorum ve neden ad\u0131n\u0131n Scarlett oldu\u011funu ve ad\u0131n\u0131n ne anlama geldi\u011fini ve \u00f6zellikle herhangi bir yerden geliyorsa soruyorum ve \u201cHay\u0131r, bu sadece ailem aptalca bir isim. Ailem be\u011fendi\u011fi i\u00e7in se\u00e7ti. Hi\u00e7bir \u015fey ifade etmiyor.\u201d<\/p>\n
I wonder if her parents named her after the heroine of a favourite film, perhaps, but then again, I know her dad and this sounds unlikely. I think they probably chose it just because they liked the sound of it.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Acaba ailesi ona favori filmlerinin kad\u0131n kahraman\u0131n\u0131n ad\u0131n\u0131 m\u0131 verdi, merak ediyorum ama yine de babas\u0131n\u0131 tan\u0131yorum ve bu pek olas\u0131 g\u00f6r\u00fcnm\u00fcyor. San\u0131r\u0131m sadece kula\u011fa ho\u015f geliyordu.<\/p>\n
Scarlett is worried about changing school after the summer. She worries that she’s too short for her age and that the other children at the school will make fun of her. She shows me some pictures of the school she is at now and her classmates. I look at the picture and it shows children of all heights and shapes and sizes. Some are tall, some are short, some are fat and some are thin. Some are black and some are white, and most of them are somewhere in between. Some have red hair and some have blond hair, some have long hair and some have short hair.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Scarlett yazdan sonra okulu de\u011fi\u015ftirme konusunda endi\u015feliydi. Ya\u015f\u0131na g\u00f6re \u00e7ok k\u0131sa oldu\u011fundan okuldaki di\u011fer \u00e7ocuklar\u0131n onunla dalga ge\u00e7ece\u011finden endi\u015feleniyor. Bana \u015fu anda bulundu\u011fu okulun ve s\u0131n\u0131f arkada\u015flar\u0131n\u0131n baz\u0131 resimlerini g\u00f6steriyor. Resme bak\u0131yorum ve her boy, \u015fekil ve b\u00fcy\u00fckl\u00fckteki \u00e7ocuklar\u0131 g\u00f6steriyor. Baz\u0131lar\u0131 uzun, baz\u0131lar\u0131 k\u0131sa, baz\u0131lar\u0131 \u015fi\u015fman ve baz\u0131lar\u0131 zay\u0131f. Baz\u0131lar\u0131 siyah, baz\u0131lar\u0131 beyaz ve \u00e7o\u011fu arada bir yerde. Kimisi k\u0131z\u0131l, kimisi sar\u0131, kimisi uzun, kimisi k\u0131sa sa\u00e7l\u0131.<\/p>\n
I tell her not to worry about the new school, tell her that she’ll be OK, and ask her about the new subjects she’ll be studying. She tells me that she’s worried about learning French, and I tell her not to worry, that it isn’t a very difficult language. She tells me that she already knows five languages.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ona yeni okul i\u00e7in endi\u015felenmemesini, iyi olaca\u011f\u0131n\u0131 s\u00f6yledim ve okuyaca\u011f\u0131 yeni dersleri sordum. Bana Frans\u0131zca \u00f6\u011frenmek konusunda endi\u015feli oldu\u011funu s\u00f6yl\u00fcyor ve ben de ona endi\u015felenmemesini, \u00e7ok zor bir dil olmad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 s\u00f6yl\u00fcyorum. Bana zaten be\u015f dil bildi\u011fini s\u00f6yledi.<\/p>\n
\u201cFive languages!\u201cI shout. \u201cThat’s impossible! How do you already know five languages?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cBe\u015f dil!\u201d diye ba\u011f\u0131rd\u0131m. \u201cBu imkans\u0131z! Nas\u0131l be\u015f dili nas\u0131l biliyorsun?’<\/p>\n
‘Because I’ve got five languages in my body,\u201d she says.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201c\u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc v\u00fccudumda be\u015f dil var\u201d dedi.<\/p>\n
I ask her what she means, and she starts to tell me the story of her family. Some of the story I already know. I’ve already heard stories about her grandfather. He was from Scotland; he was a sailor, but not a very good sailor, so he only got as far as Portsmouth, a big navy town on the south coast of England, not very far from Scotland at all. When he got to Portsmouth, he stopped there, left the navy and became a boxer. He lost fights and drank a lot. However, he still managed to see the world by meeting a woman who came from Laos. Nobody really knows how this woman had ended up in Portsmouth, but she still lives there, and I tell Scarlett that she should try and find out her grandmother’s story.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ona ne demek istedi\u011fini sordum ve bana ailesinin hikayesini anlatmaya ba\u015flad\u0131. Baz\u0131 hikayeleri zaten biliyorum. B\u00fcy\u00fckbabas\u0131 hakk\u0131nda hikayeler duydum. \u0130sko\u00e7yal\u0131yd\u0131; o bir denizciydi, ama \u00e7ok iyi bir denizci de\u011fildi, bu y\u00fczden sadece \u0130ngiltere’nin g\u00fcney k\u0131y\u0131s\u0131ndaki b\u00fcy\u00fck bir donanma kasabas\u0131 olan Portsmouth’a kadar gidebildi, \u0130sko\u00e7ya’dan hi\u00e7 de \u00e7ok uzak de\u011fildi. Portsmouth’a vard\u0131\u011f\u0131nda orada durdu, donanmay\u0131 b\u0131rakt\u0131 ve boks\u00f6r oldu. D\u00f6v\u00fc\u015fleri kaybetti ve i\u00e7meye ba\u015flad\u0131. Ancak yine de Laos’tan gelen bir kad\u0131nla tan\u0131\u015farak evlenmeyi ba\u015fard\u0131. Kimse bu kad\u0131n\u0131n Portsmouth’a nas\u0131l geldi\u011fini ger\u00e7ekten bilmiyor, ama hala orada ya\u015f\u0131yor ve Scarlett’e b\u00fcy\u00fckannesinin hikayesini ke\u015ffetmesini gerekti\u011fini s\u00f6yl\u00fcyorus\u00f6yledim.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, she’s too old now,\u201d says Scarlett, \u201cand anyway, she’s lived in Portsmouth nearly all her life.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cHay\u0131r, o art\u0131k \u00e7ok ya\u015fl\u0131\u201ddedi Scarlett, \u201cve neredeyse t\u00fcm hayat\u0131 Portsmouth’ta ge\u00e7ti.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scarlett’s grandparents were only together long enough to produce a son \u2013 probably one of the only Scottish-Laotians in the world. They called him Bill, which is usually short for \u201cWilliam’, but his name was just \u201cBill’. Bill inherited his father’s personality and his mother’s looks, so the only thing he thought he could do was become a rock star. He never really managed to become a rock star, though, so now he works as a graphic designer.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Scarlett’in b\u00fcy\u00fckanne ve b\u00fcy\u00fckbabas\u0131 ancak bir erkek \u00e7ocuk do\u011furacak kadar uzun s\u00fcre birlikteydi \u2013 muhtemelen d\u00fcnyadaki tek \u0130sko\u00e7-Laoslulardan biri. Ona Bill ismini vermi\u015flerdi, bu genellikle William isminin k\u0131saltmas\u0131d\u0131r ama o sadece Bill\u2019di. Babas\u0131n\u0131n ki\u015fili\u011fini ve annesinin g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fc miras ald\u0131, bu y\u00fczden yapabilece\u011fini d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc\u011f\u00fc tek \u015fey bir rock y\u0131ld\u0131z\u0131 olmakt\u0131. Yine de hi\u00e7bir zaman bir rock y\u0131ld\u0131z\u0131 olmay\u0131 ba\u015faramad\u0131, bu y\u00fczden \u015fimdi bir grafik tasar\u0131mc\u0131 olarak \u00e7al\u0131\u015f\u0131yor.<\/p>\n
I don’t know Scarlett’s mum, so I ask her to tell me about her mum.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Scarlett’in annesini tan\u0131m\u0131yorum, bu y\u00fczden bana annesini anlatmas\u0131n\u0131 istedim.<\/p>\n
‘My mum’s Polish,\u201d she says. \u201cWell, not really, because she was born in Brighton, but her mum and dad are from Poland. But they’ve lived there, like, for always. But I know that her mum was from somewhere that was Germany and then became Poland, so she’s really German, I suppose. So that’s another language that I’ve got in my body.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Annem Polonyal\u0131\u201d diyor. ” Asl\u0131nda pek say\u0131lmaz \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc Brighton’da do\u011fdu ama annesi ve babas\u0131 Polonyal\u0131. Ama hep orada ya\u015fad\u0131lar. Ama annesinin Almanya olan bir yerden oldu\u011funu ve daha sonra Polonya oldu\u011funu biliyorum, bu y\u00fczden ger\u00e7ekten Alman, san\u0131r\u0131m. Yani bu benim v\u00fccudumda bulunan ba\u015fka bir dil.’<\/p>\n
I ask Scarlett if she can actually speak all the languages that she says she has \u201cin her body’, and she looks at me like I’m stupid.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Scarlett’e “v\u00fccudunda” oldu\u011funu s\u00f6yledi\u011fi t\u00fcm dilleri ger\u00e7ekten konu\u015fabiliyor mu diye sordum ve bana aptalm\u0131\u015f\u0131m gibi bakt\u0131.<\/p>\n
‘Of course not!\u201d she says. \u201cBut I’ve still got them in me!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Tabii ki hay\u0131r!\u201d diyor. \u201cAma hala i\u00e7imdeler!’<\/p>\n
We count up her \u201clanguages’: Scottish, Laotian, German, Polish.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Onun \u201cdillerini\u201d say\u0131yoruz: \u0130sko\u00e7, Laos, Almanca, Leh\u00e7e.<\/p>\n
‘That’s only four!\u201d I tell her.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Bu sadece d\u00f6rt!\u201d dedim.<\/p>\n
‘No, there’s English too!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Hay\u0131r, \u0130ngilizce de var!”<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course there is,\u201d I say. And then I look at Scottish\u2013Laotian\u2013German\u2013Polish\u2013English Scarlett and I ask her: \u201cAnd you, Scarlett, where are you from?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cElbette var\u201d diyorum. Sonra \u0130sko\u00e7-Laotca-Almanca-Polonya-\u0130ngiliz Scarlett’e bak\u0131yorum ve ona soruyorum: \u201cYa sen, Scarlett, nerelisin?’<\/p>\n
She thinks for a long time \u2013 such a long time that I think perhaps she hasn’t heard my question. But then, before I can repeat it, she looks up and at me.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Uzun bir s\u00fcre d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc \u2013 o kadar uzun bir s\u00fcre ki, belki de sorumu duymad\u0131. Ama sonra ben tekrarlayamadan o ba\u015f\u0131n\u0131 kald\u0131r\u0131p bana bakt\u0131.<\/p>\n
‘I’m from here,\u201d she says. \u201cI’m from London.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Ben bural\u0131y\u0131m\u201d diyor. \u201cLondra’dan\u0131m.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Smith’s New Nose<\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
‘Well, Mr Smith, if you prefer a different type of nose, we have a large selection available.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Pekala, Bay Smith, farkl\u0131 bir burun tipini tercih ederseniz, geni\u015f bir yelpazemiz var.”<\/p>\n
‘I think this nose is a bit too small.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Bence bu burun biraz fazla k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck.’<\/p>\n
‘Small noses are very fashionable this year, Mr Smith, very fashionable.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck burunlar bu y\u0131l \u00e7ok moda Bay Smith, \u00e7ok moda.”<\/p>\n
‘Do you think it suits me?\u201d asked Mr Smith.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Sence bana yak\u0131\u015f\u0131yor mu? diye sordu Bay Smith.<\/p>\n
‘I think it looks very nice,\u201d said the shop assistant.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Bence \u00e7ok g\u00fczel g\u00f6r\u00fcn\u00fcyor,” dedi ma\u011faza g\u00f6revlisi.<\/p>\n
‘OK, I’ll take it!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Tamam alaca\u011f\u0131m!’<\/p>\n
On the airbus home, Mr Smith called his wife on his wristphone.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bay Smith otob\u00fcsle eve giderken bileklik telefonundan e\u015fini arad\u0131.<\/p>\n
‘Hello dear! Do you like my new nose?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Merhaba hayat\u0131m! Yeni burnumu be\u011fendin mi?’<\/p>\n
Mrs Smith looked at her husband’s new nose on the videophone monitor on the wall in the kitchen. \u201cI think it’s a bit too small, dear,\u201d she said.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bayan Smith, mutfakta duvardaki g\u00f6r\u00fcnt\u00fcl\u00fc telefon ekran\u0131nda kocas\u0131n\u0131n yeni burnuna bakt\u0131. “Bence biraz fazla k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck, can\u0131m,” dedi.<\/p>\n
‘Small noses are very fashionable this year,\u201d replied Mr Smith, \u201cvery fashionable.\u201d It’s all so easy now, thought Mr Smith. A hundred years ago, it was impossible to change your body. Or almost impossible \u2013 there was the old-fashioned \u201cplastic surgery’, but it was expensive, painful and dangerous. Ugh! Now, thanks to our 22nd-century genetic engineering, we can change our bodies when we want!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“K\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck burunlar bu y\u0131l \u00e7ok moda,” diye yan\u0131tlad\u0131 Bay Smith, “\u00e7ok moda.” Art\u0131k her \u015fey \u00e7ok kolay, diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc Bay Smith. Y\u00fcz y\u0131l \u00f6nce, bedeninizi de\u011fi\u015ftirmek imkans\u0131zd\u0131. Ya da neredeyse imkans\u0131z \u2013 eski moda \u201cplastik cerrahi\u201d vard\u0131 ama pahal\u0131, ac\u0131 verici ve tehlikeliydi. Ah! \u015eimdi 22. y\u00fczy\u0131l genetik m\u00fchendisli\u011fimiz sayesinde v\u00fccudumuzu istedi\u011fimiz zaman de\u011fi\u015ftirebiliyoruz!<\/p>\n
He looked at his new small nose in the mirror and thought about how fashionable he was. He was very happy with his new nose. The only problem now, he thought, was that he needed some new hair to go with his new nose.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Aynada yeni k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck burnuna bakt\u0131 ve ne kadar \u015f\u0131k oldu\u011funu d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc. Yeni burnundan \u00e7ok memnundu. \u015eimdi tek sorun, diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc, yeni burnuna uymas\u0131 i\u00e7in yeni sa\u00e7lara ihtiyac\u0131 vard\u0131.<\/p>\n
He looked on the internet for some new hair, but the internet was so slow. Eventually he decided to go to Bodyco in person.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u0130nternette yeni sa\u00e7 arad\u0131 ama internet \u00e7ok yava\u015ft\u0131. Sonunda Bodyco’ya \u015fahsen gitmeye karar verdi.<\/p>\n
‘Good morning, Mr Smith,\u201d said the Bodyco shop assistant. \u201cHow can I help you today?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bodyco ma\u011faza asistan\u0131, “G\u00fcnayd\u0131n Bay Smith,” dedi. “Bug\u00fcn size nas\u0131l yard\u0131m edebilirim?’<\/p>\n
Mr Smith remembered the robot shop assistant in the Bodyco shop a few years ago. The robot was friendlier and more efficient, but too many robots made too much unemployment and the robot was replaced by a human.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bay Smith, birka\u00e7 y\u0131l \u00f6nce Bodyco ma\u011fazas\u0131ndaki robot ma\u011faza asistan\u0131n\u0131 hat\u0131rlad\u0131. Robot daha dost\u00e7a ve daha verimliydi, ancak \u00e7ok fazla robot \u00e7ok fazla i\u015fsizlik yaratt\u0131 ve robotun yerini bir insan ald\u0131.<\/p>\n
‘I’d like some new hair, please.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Yeni sa\u00e7 istiyorum, l\u00fctfen.”<\/p>\n
‘Certainly, Mr Smith. What type of hair would you like? Short, blond hair goes well with a small nose. How about short, blond hair?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Elbette, Bay Smith. Ne t\u00fcr sa\u00e7 istersin? K\u0131sa, sar\u0131 sa\u00e7lar k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck bir burunla iyi gider. K\u0131sa, sar\u0131 sa\u00e7a ne dersin?<\/p>\n
Mr Smith looked at his hair. It was old and grey. Yes, he thought, short and blond. When he was young he had short, blond hair. He wanted to look young again.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bay Smith sa\u00e7lar\u0131na bakt\u0131. Eski ve griydi. Evet, diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc, k\u0131sa ve sar\u0131\u015f\u0131n. Gen\u00e7ken k\u0131sa, sar\u0131 sa\u00e7lar\u0131 vard\u0131. Yeniden gen\u00e7 g\u00f6r\u00fcnmek istiyordu.<\/p>\n
‘Yes, I’ll have short blond hair, please. Could it be a bit curly as well?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Evet, k\u0131sa sar\u0131 sa\u00e7lar\u0131m olacak, l\u00fctfen. Biraz k\u0131v\u0131rc\u0131k da olabilir mi?’<\/p>\n
‘Curly?\u201d asked the shop assistant.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘K\u0131v\u0131rc\u0131k?” ma\u011faza g\u00f6revlisine sordu.<\/p>\n
‘Yes, you know, curly \u2013 not straight!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Evet, biliyorsun, k\u0131v\u0131rc\u0131k – d\u00fcz de\u011fil!’<\/p>\n
‘Yes, Mr Smith, I know what “curly” means, but curly hair isn’t very fashionable this year.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Evet Bay Smith, “k\u0131v\u0131rc\u0131k”\u0131n ne anlama geldi\u011fini biliyorum ama k\u0131v\u0131rc\u0131k sa\u00e7 bu y\u0131l pek moda de\u011fil.<\/p>\n
‘Isn’t it?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘De\u011fil mi?’<\/p>\n
‘No, it isn’t.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Hay\u0131r, de\u011fil.’<\/p>\n
‘But I like curly hair!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Ama k\u0131v\u0131rc\u0131k sa\u00e7\u0131 severim!”<\/p>\n
‘Very well, Mr Smith \u2013 short, blond, curly hair. Would you like anything else? We have a special offer on ears this week.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Pekala, Bay Smith – k\u0131sa, sar\u0131, k\u0131v\u0131rc\u0131k sa\u00e7l\u0131. Ba\u015fka bir \u015fey ister misiniz? Bu hafta kulaklara \u00f6zel bir teklifimiz var.’<\/p>\n
‘Ears?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\u201cKulaklar m\u0131?\u201d<\/p>\n
‘Yes, Mr Smith. The things you hear with.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Evet, Bay Smith. Duyman\u0131z\u0131 sa\u011flayan \u015feyler.\u201d<\/p>\n
‘I know what ears are! What type of ears are on offer?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Kulaklar\u0131n ne oldu\u011funu biliyorum! Ne t\u00fcr kulaklar sunuluyor?<\/p>\n
Mr Smith went out of the shop with new short, blond, curly hair and two new ears.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bay Smith yeni k\u0131sa, sar\u0131, k\u0131v\u0131rc\u0131k sa\u00e7l\u0131 ve iki yeni kulakla d\u00fckkandan \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131.<\/p>\n
After this, his interest in his new body started to grow. In the next few weeks he bought new eyes (green \u2013 unusual, but fashionable), new hands, new arms, new knees and new feet. Mrs Smith was happy because Mr Smith’s new feet didn’t smell as bad as his old feet.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bundan sonra yeni v\u00fccuduna olan ilgisi artmaya ba\u015flad\u0131. Sonraki birka\u00e7 hafta i\u00e7inde yeni g\u00f6zler (ye\u015fil \u2013 al\u0131\u015f\u0131lmad\u0131k ama modaya uygun), yeni eller, yeni kollar, yeni dizler ve yeni ayaklar sat\u0131n ald\u0131. Bayan Smith mutluydu \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc Bay Smith’in yeni ayaklar\u0131 eski ayaklar\u0131 kadar k\u00f6t\u00fc kokmuyordu.<\/p>\n
His body was now completely different.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Art\u0131k v\u00fccudu tamamen farkl\u0131yd\u0131.<\/p>\n
‘Am I the same man I was a few weeks ago?\u201d thought Mr Smith. \u201cI have a new nose, new hair, new ears, new eyes, hands, arms, knees and feet. But I have the same brain \u2013 so I think I’m the same man.\u201d He thought he was the same man but he wasn\u2019t sure.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Birka\u00e7 hafta \u00f6nce oldu\u011fum adam m\u0131y\u0131m?” diye d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc Bay Smith. \u201cYeni bir burnum, yeni sa\u00e7lar\u0131m, yeni kulaklar\u0131m, yeni g\u00f6zlerim, ellerim, kollar\u0131m, dizlerim ve ayaklar\u0131m var. Ama ayn\u0131 beyne sahibim – bu y\u00fczden san\u0131r\u0131m ben de ayn\u0131 adam\u0131m.” Ayn\u0131 adam oldu\u011funu d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcnd\u00fc ama emin de\u011fildi.<\/p>\n
One morning, he woke up and his new nose didn’t work.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bir sabah uyand\u0131 ve yeni burnu \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmad\u0131.<\/p>\n
‘What\u2019s the matter?\u201d asked Mrs Smith.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Sorun ne?” diye sordu Bayan Smith.<\/p>\n
‘My new nose doesn’t work \u2013 it’s blocked.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Yeni burnum \u00e7al\u0131\u015fm\u0131yor – t\u0131kal\u0131.’<\/p>\n
‘Maybe you’ve got a cold,\u201d suggested Mrs Smith.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Belki \u00fc\u015f\u00fctt\u00fcn,” diye \u00f6nerdi Bayan Smith.<\/p>\n
‘That\u2019s impossible! This is a genetically engineered Bodyco nose! It doesn’t get colds!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Bu imkans\u0131z! Bu, geneti\u011fiyle oynanm\u0131\u015f bir Bodyco burnu! \u00dc\u015f\u00fctmez!’<\/p>\n
But it was true \u2013 the new nose did not work. It was blocked and Mr Smith couldn’t smell anything.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ama do\u011fruydu \u2013 yeni burun i\u015fe yaramad\u0131. Burnu t\u0131kal\u0131yd\u0131 ve Bay Smith hi\u00e7bir koku alam\u0131yordu.<\/p>\n
He went back to the Bodyco shop.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bodyco ma\u011fazas\u0131na geri d\u00f6nd\u00fc.<\/p>\n
‘Good morning, Mr Smith,\u201d said the assistant. \u201cWhat would you like today?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“G\u00fcnayd\u0131n Bay Smith,” dedi asistan. “Bug\u00fcn ne yapmak istersin?’<\/p>\n
‘I want a new nose,\u201d said Mr Smith.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bay Smith, “Yeni bir burun istiyorum” dedi.<\/p>\n
‘You already want a new nose?\u201d said the surprised shop assistant. \u201cBut you\u2019ve only had this one for a month! Don’t worry, small noses are still fashionable!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“\u015eimdiden yeni bir burun mu istiyorsun?” dedi \u015fa\u015fk\u0131n ma\u011faza g\u00f6revlisi. “Ama buna sadece bir ayd\u0131r sahipsin! Merak etmeyin, k\u00fc\u00e7\u00fck burunlar hala moda!’<\/p>\n
‘No, you don’t understand,\u201d said Mr Smith. \u201cI want a new nose because this one doesn’t work!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Hay\u0131r, anlam\u0131yorsunuz, dedi Bay Smith. \u201cYeni bir burun istiyorum \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc bu \u00e7al\u0131\u015fm\u0131yor!’<\/p>\n
‘That’s impossible,\u201d said the shop assistant. \u201cYou have a genetically engineered Bodyco nose. It can’t go wrong!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Bu imkans\u0131z,” dedi ma\u011faza g\u00f6revlisi. “Genetik olarak tasarlanm\u0131\u015f bir Bodyco burnunuz var. \u0130\u015fler ters gidemez!’<\/p>\n
‘But it has gone wrong,\u201d replied Mr Smith. \u201cIt’s blocked and I can’t smell anything.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Ama i\u015fler ters gitti,” diye yan\u0131tlad\u0131 Bay Smith.\u201d T\u0131kand\u0131 ve hi\u00e7bir \u015feyin kokusunu alam\u0131yorum.\u201d<\/p>\n
‘What have you used your nose to do, Mr Smith?\u201d asked the shop assistant.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Burnunuzu ne yapmak i\u00e7in kulland\u0131n\u0131z Bay Smith? ma\u011faza g\u00f6revlisine sordu.<\/p>\n
‘What have I done with my nose? That’s a stupid question! I haven’t done anything unusual with my nose. I’ve used it to breathe and to smell, as usual!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Burnumu ne yapt\u0131m? Bu aptalca bir soru! Burnumla ola\u011fand\u0131\u015f\u0131 bir \u015fey yapmad\u0131m. Her zamanki gibi nefes almak ve koklamak i\u00e7in kulland\u0131m!’<\/p>\n
‘If you have not used your nose correctly, Mr Smith, it is possible that it will not work correctly.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Burnunuzu do\u011fru kullanmad\u0131ysan\u0131z Bay Smith, d\u00fczg\u00fcn \u00e7al\u0131\u015fmamas\u0131 olas\u0131d\u0131r.”<\/p>\n
‘That’s absurd!\u201d shouted Mr Smith. \u201cI want my money back! I want a refund!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
‘Bu \u00e7ok sa\u00e7ma! diye ba\u011f\u0131rd\u0131 Bay Smith. “Param\u0131 geri istiyorum! Para iadesi istiyorum!’<\/p>\n
‘I’m afraid that we do not give refunds, Mr Smith. There was no guarantee with this nose.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Korkar\u0131m para iadesi yapm\u0131yoruz Bay Smith. Bu burnun garantisi yoktu.’<\/p>\n
Mr Smith was so angry that he didn’t know what to say. He walked out of the shop and didn’t say anything.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bay Smith o kadar sinirliydi ki ne diyece\u011fini bilemedi. D\u00fckkandan \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131 ve hi\u00e7bir \u015fey s\u00f6ylemedi.<\/p>\n
But now he had a big problem: a useless nose. Fashionable, yes. Useful, no.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ama \u015fimdi b\u00fcy\u00fck bir sorunu vard\u0131: i\u015fe yaramaz bir burun. Modaya uygun ama faydas\u0131z.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, his problems started to grow. The next morning he woke up and found he couldn’t hear anything. Then his new blond hair went grey. Then his new knees didn’t move. Then he couldn’t see a thing with his unusual green eyes. His fingers fell off, one by one.
\n<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\nNe yaz\u0131k ki, sorunlar\u0131 b\u00fcy\u00fcmeye ba\u015flad\u0131. Ertesi sabah uyand\u0131 ve hi\u00e7bir \u015fey duymad\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131 fark etti. Sonra yeni sar\u0131 sa\u00e7lar\u0131 griye d\u00f6nd\u00fc. Sonra yeni dizleri k\u0131p\u0131rdamad\u0131. Sonra s\u0131ra d\u0131\u015f\u0131 ye\u015fil g\u00f6zleriyle hi\u00e7bir \u015fey g\u00f6remedi. Parmaklar\u0131 birer birer d\u00fc\u015ft\u00fc.<\/p>\n
Eventually, Mrs Smith put him in their aircar and flew to the Bodyco shop. She carried her husband into the shop, because now he couldn’t walk.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Sonunda, Bayan Smith onu hava arac\u0131na bindirdi ve Bodyco ma\u011fazas\u0131na u\u00e7tu. Kocas\u0131n\u0131 d\u00fckkana ta\u015f\u0131d\u0131 \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc art\u0131k y\u00fcr\u00fcyemiyordu.<\/p>\n
‘Good morning, Mr Smith,\u201d said the shop assistant. \u201cWhat can I do for you today?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“G\u00fcnayd\u0131n Bay Smith,” dedi tezg\u00e2htar. “Bug\u00fcn senin i\u00e7in ne yapabilirim?’<\/p>\n
‘Mr Smith wouldn\u2019t like anything new at all today, thank you,\u201d replied Mrs Smith. \u201cBut he would like his old body back!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bayan Smith, “Bay Smith bug\u00fcn yeni hi\u00e7bir \u015feyden ho\u015flanmaz, te\u015fekk\u00fcrler,” diye yan\u0131tlad\u0131. “Ama eski bedenini geri istiyor!”<\/p>\n
‘I’m afraid we don’t give refunds, Mrs Smith.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Korkar\u0131m para iadesi yapm\u0131yoruz Bayan Smith.<\/p>\n
‘I don’t want a refund,\u201d explained Mrs Smith. \u201cI want my husband’s original body again! I liked it more than this new one!’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Bayan Smith, “Para iadesi istemiyorum,” diye a\u00e7\u0131klad\u0131. \u201cKocam\u0131n orijinal v\u00fccudunu tekrar istiyorum! Onu bu yenisinden daha \u00e7ok sevdim!’<\/p>\n
‘I’m afraid that’s very difficult, Mrs Smith,\u201d said the shop assistant. \u201cWe are an environmentally friendly company. All our old bodies are recycled.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Korkar\u0131m bu \u00e7ok zor Bayan Smith,” dedi tezg\u00e2htar. \u201c\u00c7evre dostu bir \u015firketiz. T\u00fcm eski bedenlerimiz geri d\u00f6n\u00fc\u015ft\u00fcr\u00fcl\u00fcr.\u201d<\/p>\n
‘But the new body parts that you sold him don’t work! What can he do now?\u2019<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Ama ona satt\u0131\u011f\u0131n yeni v\u00fccut par\u00e7alar\u0131 \u00e7al\u0131\u015fm\u0131yor! \u015eimdi ne yapabilir?’<\/p>\n
He could buy a reconditioned body.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Yenilenmi\u015f bir beden sat\u0131n alabilir.”<\/p>\n
‘What’s a “reconditioned” body?’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
“Yenilenmi\u015f” bir v\u00fccut nedir?’<\/p>\n
‘It’s an old body that has been modified.’<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
