[upthera44]

 Я перевел маленький рассказ Михаила Веллера. У меня есть пара вопросов, которые я отметил с вопросительными знаками в тексте. И в общем был бы рад любим идеям, отзывам и комментариям. Спасибо всем заранее!

Распределение is the soviet phenomenon, when you after finishin your college must go and work according yr profession where you are sent by yr college for some 3 years or so. After, you are free to do whatever you like. It's cause the education was free & the citizens must like pay back.

Неотложка is emergency, acute care.

About children-adults-adults-children.

These adults tell children how they, adults WOULD have achieved what children must achieve, IF these adults COULD have achieved it. Maybe I was wrong with "have" but the whole sense is this.

Not exactly.
In most cases the place where you had been sent defined your fate for more than 3 years. In SU people had no rights to chose a place to live or to work. You could try to find a new job after 3 years but all good jobs were limited and there were plenty of long waiting lists for good positions.

Спасибо всем за помощь. I will be working on this more in the near future and hopefully make some improvements and re-post it.
