Питам, защото или съм забила тотално, или не се сещам за друг еквивалент освен детективски разкази (съответно романи) и мистерии (въобще не ми харесва).

Аз бих ползвал "детективски роман", ако преводът е по-"официален".
Mr Northrop called in the technician again. This time, I think, he wasn't very eager to have me overheard what he was saying, but even from where I was standing, I could hear the conversation. Sometimes human beings forget how sharp the senses of robots can be.
After all, I was very upset. I wanted to be a writer and I didn't want Mr. Northrop telling me what I could write and couldn't write. Of course, he was a human being and I had to obey him, but I didn't like it.
"What's the matter now, Mr. Northrop?" asked the technician in a voice that sounded sardonic to my ears. "Has this robot of yours been writing a story again?"
"Yes, he has," said Mr. Northrop, trying to sound indifferent. "He's written another mystery story and I don't want him writing mysteries."
"Too much competition, eh, Mr. Northrop?"
"No. Don't be a jackass. There's just no point in two people in the same household writing mysteries. Besides, the Three Laws of Robotics get in the way. You can easily imagine how."
"Well, what do you want me to do?"
"I'm not sure. Suppose he writes satire. That's one thing I don't write, so we won't be competing, and the Three Laws of Robotics won't get in his way. I want you to give this robot a sense of the ridiculous."
"A sense of the what?" said the technician, angrily. "How do I do that? Look, Mr. Northrop, be reasonable. I can put in instructions on how to run a Writer, I can put in a dictionary and grammar. But how can I possibly put in a sense of the ridiculous?"
As my sense of balance returned and my speech became clear, an odd thing happened. I suddenly understood how _silly_ human beings were. They had no laws governing their actions. They had to make up their own, and even when they did, nothing forced them to obey.
Human beings were simply _confused;_ one had to laugh at them. I understood laughter now and could even make the sound, but naturally I didn't laugh out loud. That would have been impolite and offensive. I laughed inside myself, and I began to think of a story in which human beings _did_ have laws governing their actions but they hated them and couldn't stick to them.
I also thought of the technician and decided to put him into the story, too. Mr. Northrop kept going to the technician and asking him to do things to me, harder and harder things. Now he had given me a sense of the ridiculous.

Уви, днес не ми е ден за обяснителни (или поне разбираеми) включвания. Може би по-нататък.
Различни хора - различни варианти и разбирания...
Проведох една дискусия с брат ми, докато пишех поста и той ме светна по въпроса с интересно предложение. Ето какво беше то: 
иначе Симон, Томас, Йоханес, kj доколкото знам го произнасят между "ш" и "х" - Шерсти. 
Things that appear to be are not, and things that are not appear to be.
Въпреки американската действителност с индианците аз смятам, че може да става дума за британец и индиец. Защото не вярвам в индиански контекст да си казват: "Той не го мисли наистина".In part of an old movie I once saw, a cavalryman was belittling an Indian. After the soldier got through, someone said to the Indian, “Don’t pay any attention to him. He really doesn’t mean it.” The Indian replied, “Then apparently he’s just saying things to please his friends.” Too much of the time, this is what happens. You say things that will please your friends. You tell them what you think they want to know.
He started the lathe. It made a very strange sound. The power looked like that from an ancient upright vacuum cleaner. Reduction was accomplished through gears that could only have come from one of those hand-operated coffee mills that used, with their great urn-shaped hoppers and scroll-spoked, cast-iron scarlet flywheels, to grace chain markets before they became supered. The frame was that of a treadle-operated sewing machine, complete with treadle, which, never having been disconnected, now disappeared in a blur of oscillation that transferred itself gently to everything in the place. One could not see it, but it was there in the soles of the feet, in the microscopic erection of the fibers in a dusty feather boa, in the way sun-captured dust motes marched instead of wandered. The lathe’s spur-center seemed to have been the business end of a planing attachment from some forgotten drill press; it was chucked into a collet that seemed to have been handmade out of rock maple. The cup center, at the other end, turned freely and true in what could be nothing else but a roller-skate wheel. Noat set his ground-down screwdriver on the long tool rest, which was of a size and massiveness that bespoke a history of angle-bracketship aboard a hay wagon. On the white wood a whiter line appeared, and a blizzard of fragrant dust appeared over Noat’s heavy wrists. He carried the tool along the rest, and the whiter-upon-white became a band, a sheet. When he had taken it from end to end, he stopped the machine. The wood was still square, but with all its corners rounded.
, е мястото да се похваля, че от 1:25 ч. на 2 ноември е поводът на моята радост, избликнала така:me wrote:Първият голям превод е OVER, DONE WITH, FINISHED, COMPLETED, fulfilled, executed, terminated; eliminated, liquidated и друга академична лексика (всъщност последното очаквам да се осъществи).
Не съм изчислила по всички работни файлове колко време съм отседяла пред тоя компютър, колко време съм превеждала на концерти, преди концерти, във влакове, в самолети, на благотворителни разпродажби, в Добрич, в Шотландия, в Бяла, в Созопол, посред нощите в Pineda de Mar
КЪ-РАЙ!!! След ~ седем месеца и две седмици, след много протакане и накрая летене.
~ 268 стандартни страници оригинал, разделени на 12 части. Последната за близо 12 часа - най-бързо. Което не значи, че предните 11 са били 11х12, а МЪНОГО ПОВЕЧЕ ВРЕМЕ.
Не искам да чувам за фразови глаголи с bring, come, put.
Не искам да чувам за "безметежни" игри на думи помежду другото.
Имам някои попадения, макар че през повечето време почти всичко ми изглеждаше като... падения.
Колко са ми по-зле разширените вени и очите не знам. Но обещавам с всяка следваща партида да скъсявам работното време!
Превключвам режими на екрана, превключвам различно тъмни фонове на файловете, колкото често се налага. Все някаква полза е имало.
Няколко малки подробности:
- към 1 ч. и 19 мин. съм слагала правилните български затварящи кавички поне през втората половина от превода
- neighbour не е какво да е, а ближният ти! Английският има само думата съсед!!! Ние имаме ближен!!! ^_^
- fair game няма общо с fair play
- pin е просто... кегла O_o
- relate to... май чак сега си давам сметка какво най-добре значи.
А текстът беше лесен.
Right.
Още някои любопитни речникови прищевки:
- staff e... жезъл
- спиците се свързват в главина
- при думата (10) rut пише коловоз, т.е. колей... - или е отявлен "славизъм", или е грешка
- а при думата (6) ramrod пише освен всичко друго - дотиквач, което също ме навежда на чешки мисли
- любимото ми е: библейският цитат трябва да е (6) Strait (а не straight) is the path & narrow is the gate. В противен случай е... противен случай. Google твърди нещо за strEight, но А си е А.
Help! и със сигурност не е Фабрика за котки; и звукът явно не е мяукане и врясък... You may say that you are analyzing, but you're really not; you're comparing.
