Polish term or phrase: "zabytek klasy zero"
"Każda epoka zostawiła w tym mieście wspaniale dzieła, w postaci ponad 300 obiektów, takich jak kościoły, place, kamienice, 10 z nich nosi miano zabytków klasy zero." - Bylabym wdzieczna za sugestie jak przetlumaczyc te "zabytki klasy zero". Znalazlam informacje, ze ta klasyfikacja obowiazywala tylko do lat 70., wiec szukam jakiegos luznego tlumaczenia, nie terminu.

Grade A building
Explanation:
lub Grade I building - nawiązujac do skali uzywanej w UK, z ewentualnym zaznaczeniem, że chodzi o klasę wg kategorii obowiązujacych w Polsce.

Dla zainteresowanych przytoczę fragment z książki Christian Douglas Kozlowskiej "Difficult Words in Polish-English translation"

'zabuytek klasy 0' - We do not know as yet how to translate this into English. Untill the proper equivalent is found (if it does exist) we could say: 'a top grade building of historical and architectural interest', or perhaps 'an architecture gem', or 'a Grade A building'

Dzieki za pomysl z "architecture gem". To chyba najlepsze bo nie nawiazuje do zadnej scislej klasyfikacji. Poza tym przepraszam za brak punktow, to moje pierwsze pytanie tu, wiec nie calkiem orientuje sie jak to dziala.

disagree  M.A.B.: No cóż, to nie oddaje polskiej specyfiki oryginału. A dlaczego skala z UK a nie z USA? Co więcej, zabytkami (nieruchomymi) nie są tylko budynki, lecz też np. cmentarze. http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zabytek

  -> To tylko przykład sposobu przetłumaczenia - zgadzam się z Panią Kozlowską, że po prostu nie ma dobrego angielskiego odpowiednika, który można by uniwersalnie stosować Jedyna zaleta Grade A czy I jest to że daje czytelnikowi porównanie z czymś znanym pozdr
agree  juanitka: chyba jednak tędy droga - należy szukać najbliższego ekwiwalentu
