Hey!

Today I want to speak about my favorite character ) Of course, you know him. In Russian we speak and write Робин Гуд. So, during long time I was thinking that the same in English - Robin Good. And here is a logic. He was a good brave man that's why we call him Robin Good. In English class in middle school we read a short story about him. That day didn't change my life in general but I still remember this shocking discovery. Robin is not good, he just wears a hood.For russians Robin Hood ( Робин Худ ) sounds weird, because a word "худ " means "худой" ("thin") and also it is a synonym of "bad". Real hero can't be bad, that's why, I think, translator decided to change his name.
