USAGE:

(1.) Русское "быть уверенным в чём-либо" передается в английском языке конструкциями с прилагательными sure и certain. I'm sure (that) обозначает высокую степень уверенности, оставляя, однако, возможность того, что высказанное мнение может не подтвердиться, в отличие от I'm certain, которое выражает абсолютную уверенность в справедливости утверждения, основанную на реальном знании фактов и обстоятельств, возможно, неизвестных собеседнику. Такое же различие относится к наречиям surely и certainly: I'm sure he didn't write it/Surely he didn't write it, he is not that sort of person. Не может быть/Я не думаю, чтобы он это написал, не такой он человек. ср. I'm certain he didn't write it/He certainly didn't write it, I wrote it myself. Он это, безусловно, не писал, это написал я сам. (2.) Конструкции to be sure (that) и to be certain (that) не различаются по значению в отрицательных предложениях: I'm not sure/certain how to spell the word (where he put is, that it is so). (3.) Конструкции to be sure to do smth и to be sure of doing smth передают различное отношение говорящего к действию. To be sure to do smth передает уверенность, определенность того, что действие будет совершено и соответствует русскому обязательно: He is sure to come/He will definitely come. Конструкция to be sure of doing smth обозначает только намерение, мнение говорящего, однако говорящий может и ошибаться: Before the game started he was sure of winning, but ten minutes he began to doubt it. Перед началом матча он был уверен в победе, но уже через 10 минут стал в этом сомневаться. (4.) Sure в конструкции с последующим придаточным sure that (where, why, etc) употребляется только при одушевленном подлежащем. В безличных предложениях употребляется только certain. Cp. I am sure that our team will win the game, но It is certain that our team will win the game. (5.) To be sure с последующим инфинитивом to be sure to do smth соответствует в русском языке словам обязательно, безусловно, непременно: he is (was) sure to phone you to-night и подразумевает действие в будущем; конструкция to be sure to do smth отличается от конструкции to be sure and do smth; последняя обозначает настоятельную просьбу, увещевание и употребляется только в форме повелительного наклонения: Be sure and phone me. Смотри, обязательно позвони мне. These are very useful books, be sure and buy one. Это очень полезные книги, непременно купи себе такую

5 Sequence of tenses

Согласование времен

↑ Indirect speech

Временная форма, в которой употребляется сказуемое придаточного предложения, может зависеть от формы сказуемого главного предложения. Эта зависимость называется согласованием времен. Чаще всего согласование времен наблюдается в сложных предложениях с глаголами речи. Cр.: John told me that he had seen (*saw) Mary last week. — Джон сказал мне, что видел Мэри на прошлой неделе.

1) Согласование времен главного и придаточного предложения происходит не всегда. О случаях, когда происходит согласование времен, см. Rules for using sequence of tenses.

2) Правила согласования.

Если глагол в главном предложении употреблен в настоящем времени, то временная форма глагола в придаточном предложении выбирается по смыслу. Если глагол в главном предложении употреблен в прошедшем времени, то время в придаточном предложении "сдвигается назад" по следующим правилам:

а) Настоящее и будущее время ( Present time, Future time) заменяются прошедшим временем (Past time).

He said he would definitely come. (= I will definitely come). — Он сказал, что обязательно придет.

He asked whether I could do that. (= Can you do that?). — Он спросил, не могу ли я это сделать.

б) Настоящее совершенное ( Present perfect) заменяется прошедшим совершенным (Past perfect). (Соответственно, настоящее совершенное продолженное - на прошедшее совершенное продолженное).

He suggested it had been lost. (= It has been lost). — Он предположил, что оно потерялось.

She said she 'd been wondering what to do with me. ( = I've been wondering what to do with you.). — Она сказала, что думает, что со мной делать.

в) Прошедшее ( Past time) либо остается неизменным, либо заменяется прошедшим совершенным (Past perfect).

She said he saw you at the inquest. (= He saw you at the inquest). — Она сказала, что он видел тебя на суде.

He said he had missed you. (= I missed her). — Он сказал, что скучал по тебе.

г) Прошедшее совершенное ( Past perfect) не изменяется.

She recalled she had lived in just such a cottage. (= I had lived in just such a cottage). — Она вспомнила, что жила когда-то в таком домике.

•

I may come, but I am not sure. — Возможно, я приду, но я не уверен.

USAGE:

(1.) В значении разрешения глагол may 1. редко употребляется в отрицательных предложениях, в которых он имеет значение категорического запрета. В утвердительных предложениях may обозначает разрешение что-либо сделать, в вопросительных - просьбу разрешить что-либо сделать. Просьба дать разрешение не делать что-либо передается глаголом must: must I come again? можно мне не приходить еще раз? Отрицательный ответ на просьбы с may, означающий запрещение, также передается глаголом must: May I write the test in pencil? No, you mustn't. Можно писать контрольную работу карандашом? Нет, нельзя. (2.) Разрешение не делать что-либо передается глаголом needn't или отрицательной формой модального глагола have: you needn't (или you don't have to) come можете не приходить. (3.) May 2. в значении возможности, вероятности события чаще употребляется в утвердительных предложениях и, как правило, в настоящей ситуации, т. к. у глагола may нет формы будущего времени. В отрицательных предложениях для выражения сомнения, относящегося к будущему времени, чаще используются слова probably, perhaps: he will probably not come он, возможно, не придет; We'll probably not go abroad this summer. Этим летом мы, видимо, не поедем за границу. "Do you think I dare ask him? " - "Perhaps not. " "Как вы думаете, стоит ли рискнуть и обратиться к нему? " - "Может быть, не стоит. " He won't perhaps say so, but will definitely think so. Он, возможно, никогда не скажет этого, но безусловно так подумает. He will perhaps/probably never agree to it. Он на это вряд ли согласится. /Он на это вероятно/наверное никогда не согласится. (4.) Сочетание may (might) as well do smth соответствует русскому словосочетанию можно с таким же успехом: you may as well stay at home ты с таким же успехом можешь остаться дома; you may as well say so вполне можно и так сказать.

The synn. quis, aliquis, and quidam designate an object not denoted by name; quis leaves not merely the object, but even its existence, uncertain; hence it is in gen. used in hypoth. and conditional clauses, with si, nisi, num, quando, etc.; aliquis, more emphatic than quis, denotes that an object really exists, but that nothing depends upon its individuality; no matter of what kind it may be, if it is only one, and not none; quidam indicates not merely the existence and individuality of an object, but that it is known as such to the speaker, only that he is not acquainted with, or does not choose to give, its more definite relations; cf. Jahn ad Ov. M. 9, 429, and the works there referred to).

19 aliquis

ălĭquis, aliquid; plur. aliqui [alius-quis; cf. Engl. somebody or other, i.e. some person [p. 88] obscurely definite; v. Donald. Varron. p. 381 sq.] ( fem. sing. rare).— Abl. sing. aliqui, Plaut. Aul. prol. 24; id. Most. 1, 3, 18; id. Truc. 5, 30; id. Ep. 3, 1, 11.— Nom. plur. masc. aliques, analog. to ques, from quis, acc. to Charis. 133 P.— Nom. and acc. plur. neutr. always aliqua.— Dat. and abl. plur. aliquibus, Liv. 22, 13;
oftener aliquis,
id. 26, 15; 26, 49; Plin. 2, 48, 49, § 131.—Alicui, trisyl., Tib. 4, 7, 2), indef. subst. pron., some one, somebody, any one, something, any thing; in the plur., some, any (it is opp. to an object definitely stated, as also to no one, nobody. The synn. quis, aliquis, and quidam designate an object not denoted by name; quis leaves not merely the object, but even its existence, uncertain; hence it is in gen. used in hypoth. and conditional clauses, with si, nisi, num, quando, etc.; aliquis, more emphatic than quis, denotes that an object really exists, but that nothing depends upon its individuality; no matter of what kind it may be, if it is only one, and not none; quidam indicates not merely the existence and individuality of an object, but that it is known as such to the speaker, only that he is not acquainted with, or does not choose to give, its more definite relations; cf. Jahn ad Ov. M. 9, 429, and the works there referred to).

Lewis & Short latin dictionary > aliquis

20 aliquod

ălĭquis, aliquid; plur. aliqui [alius-quis; cf. Engl. somebody or other, i.e. some person [p. 88] obscurely definite; v. Donald. Varron. p. 381 sq.] ( fem. sing. rare).— Abl. sing. aliqui, Plaut. Aul. prol. 24; id. Most. 1, 3, 18; id. Truc. 5, 30; id. Ep. 3, 1, 11.— Nom. plur. masc. aliques, analog. to ques, from quis, acc. to Charis. 133 P.— Nom. and acc. plur. neutr. always aliqua.— Dat. and abl. plur. aliquibus, Liv. 22, 13;
oftener aliquis,
id. 26, 15; 26, 49; Plin. 2, 48, 49, § 131.—Alicui, trisyl., Tib. 4, 7, 2), indef. subst. pron., some one, somebody, any one, something, any thing; in the plur., some, any (it is opp. to an object definitely stated, as also to no one, nobody. The synn. quis, aliquis, and quidam designate an object not denoted by name; quis leaves not merely the object, but even its existence, uncertain; hence it is in gen. used in hypoth. and conditional clauses, with si, nisi, num, quando, etc.; aliquis, more emphatic than quis, denotes that an object really exists, but that nothing depends upon its individuality; no matter of what kind it may be, if it is only one, and not none; quidam indicates not merely the existence and individuality of an object, but that it is known as such to the speaker, only that he is not acquainted with, or does not choose to give, its more definite relations; cf. Jahn ad Ov. M. 9, 429, and the works there referred to).

Vulg. Luc. 8, 46.—

► In the following passages, with the critical authority added, aliquis seems to stand for the adj.
aliqui, as nemo sometimes stands with a noun for the adj. nullus:
nos quibus est alicunde aliquis objectus labos,
Ter. Hec. 3, 1, 6 Fleck.;
Et ait idem, ut aliquis metus adjunctus sit ad gratiam,
Cic. Div. in Caecil. 7, 24 B. and K.:
num igitur aliquis dolor in corpore est?
id. Tusc. 1, 34, 82 iid.:
ut aliquis nos deus tolleret,
id. Am. 23, 87 iid.: sin casus aliquis interpellārit, Matius ap. Cic. Fam. 11, 28, 8 iid.:
si deus aliquis vitas repente mutāsset,
Tac. Or. 41 Halm:
sic est aliquis oratorum campus,
id. ib. 39 id.:
sive sensus aliquis argutā sententiā effulsit,
id. ib. 20 id. A similar use of aliquid for the adj. aliquod was asserted to exist in Plaut. by Lind. ad Cic. Inv. 2, 6, 399, and this is repeated by Klotz, s. v. aliquis, but Lemaire's Index gives only one instance: ni occupo aliquid mihi consilium, Plaut. Men. 5, 2, 94, where Brix now reads aliquod.

Cic. Brut. 44:
