  -> Thanks, tschingite!

disagree  Alexander Onishko: плагиат \\\ фразы " for a chocolate bar" - обратите внимание - аскер просил перевод ТОЛЬКО этой фразы
4 hrs
  -> Хм, плагиат чего, извините, Александр? ОК, обратил. Я предложил вариант всей конструкции. Что плохого? Она отличается от Вашей, если внимательно посмотрите. Фраза - за шоколадку - совпадает, я не спорю. Хотите считать плагиатом - дело Ваше. Но смешно же)
