    Меняй. А свет выключил?

  3. A

    Зачем? Я аккуратно, там всего два провода.

    What for? I'll be careful, there are only two wires.

  4. B

    Стой! Если бы я не спросил, тебя бы сейчас током ударило.

    Stop! If I hadn't asked, you'd have got an electric shock just now.

  5. A

    А вас когда-нибудь било током?

    Have you ever had a shock?

  6. B

    Один раз, в твоём возрасте. Так что сначала выключи, потом работай.

    Once, at your age. So switch it off first, then work.
