How to translate?

Our cheef invited us to a presentation. He said that all employees have to attend it. Unfortunately, I cannot attend the presentation. His answer was:

"You should do your best to attend the presentation."

How to translate this phrase?

Ну это же очевидно: "Ты должен сделать свое наилучшим образом чтобы посетить презентецию"

А если серьезно:
"Очень постарайся попасть на презентацию"

Огромадное спасибо!

Я догадывался, что это именно так

Вообще-то, "do your best" значит "сделать все от тебя зависящее".

Не знали?

А try your best?
Я вообще по идиомам предлагал общение открыть...

Here it is an example from “Everyday English talks for mariners”.

- I’ve come to say goodbye.
- Does it mean you are not going to load our vessel now?
- I’m afraid we haven’t got any more cargo for your vessel in the port at the moment.
- That’s too bad. If you don’t load any cargo by 9 o’clock tomorrow, we’ll be on demurrage.
- Don’t worry about that. I’ll do my best to get some cargo by midnight. Bye
- See you soon.

Теперь, когда начальник будет строго спрашивать "как дело продвигается", смело говори
I'll do my best!


Я тоже не знала, пока к репетитору не начала ходить на бизнес-инглиш.
А она обожает всякие идиомы и все время их значимость повторяет.

Dear ssp.
I wonder it is a cross-breed of usual domestic cat & siamese one at your avatar isn’t it? Am I right?

As for me I‘d prefer to keep at home cross bread of usual red cat and siamese. Their color becomes peachy and it looks very nice. But their character is very cruel so my sister’s cat has scratched all of my neighbors. He usually lies at the entrance of the building and everyone tries to stroke him but he scratches them at ones.

Если я правильно понял, Вы любите кошек...
Может Вы на них будете оттачивать Ваш английский?

Эта... по-моему, утвердительные предложения не начинаются с "I wonder"...

Начинаются. Только надо добавить if во второй части предложения. Ну, и конечно, вопросительный знак не уместен.
