1 wonk
•• * Слово wonk не найдешь ни в Новом БАРСе, ни в ABBYY Lingvo, ни в весьма современном Larousse Chambers English French Dictionary. Значение слова легко угадывается по контексту. Merriam-Webster online ограничивается определением через синоним – nerd. American Heritage более подробен:
•• Slang 1. A student who studies excessively; a grind. 2. One who studies an issue or a topic thoroughly or excessively: “leading a talkathon of policy wonks in a methodical effort to build consensus for his programs.” (Michael Kranish, Boston Globe December 16, 1992)
•• Итак, в первом значении это ботан, во втором – человек, одержимый какой-либо ( обычно серьезной) темой или проблемой. Чаще всего это слово действительно встречается в словосочетании policy wonk. Вот пример из New York Times:
•• Сonsider the tribute President Bush paid in February to the cohort of journalists, political philosophers and policy wonks known – primarily to themselves – as Straussians.
•• На сайте www.quinion.com находим подтверждение частотности именно этого словосочетания и небесспорное уточнение, касающееся его коннотаций:
•• The word was presumably taken to Washington by Harvard graduates and formed the basis for the modern term policy wonk, which is where most of us encounter it. There it acquired the meaning of “ a policy expert, especially one who takes an obsessive interest in minor details of policy,” with a disparaging implication of someone immersed in detail and out of touch with the real world.
•• Для словаря я бы предложил вариант перевода человек, одержимый политическими проблемами, фанат большой политики.
