11 reinvent
•• * Глагол to reinvent до недавнего времени отсутствовал в словарях. Его нет даже в таком полном издании, как Webster’s Third New International Dictionary. Что странно: по крайней мере во фразеологизме to reinvent the wheel это слово встречается уже давно. American Heritage Dictionary не очень убедительно пытается разбить значение этого выражения на два:
•• 1. To do something again, from the beginning, especially in a needless or inefficient effort: “School districts need not reinvent the wheel every time they try to improve their schools.” (Washington Post) 2. To recast something familiar or old into a different form: “ Call it reinventing the wheel or recasting old ideas, but these contemporary versions have a spirit and style all their own.” (New York Times)
•• По-моему, во втором примере значение идентично первому, и употребление этого выражения имеет явно отрицательный оттенок (как и в случае его русского эквивалента изобретать велосипед).
•• В 1990-е годы слово reinvent оказалось востребованным в соответствии с законами языковой моды и утратило отрицательный оттенок, во всяком случае на первых порах. Произошло это с подачи Ала Гора, который первым стал говорить о необходимости to reinvent the government. Вот характерная цитата:
•• “ Reinventing Government” is not just a cutesie name dreamed up by Al Gore to describe what he did to the federal government. (Henry Lamb)
•• C тех пор написаны целые тома на эту тему. Перевод вроде бы не представляет трудностей – можно, например, воспользоваться русским глаголом переосмыслить – кстати, я не нашел его в словаре Ожегова – ( переосмыслить функции власти/ государства) или сказать новый взгляд на... В принципе же интересен вопрос, зачем вообще нужно такое новомодное словоупотребление, если есть другие вполне подходящие слова, например to reform. Думаю, что дело как раз в некоторой усталости от таких известных слов – желание назвать в общем-то известные вещи по-новому является одной из пружин не только языковой моды, но и развития языка вообще. Кстати, American Heritage дает опять-таки неоправданно дробное описание значения слова to reinvent:
•• 1. To make over completely: “She reinvented Indian cooking to fit a Western kitchen and a Western larder.” (Irene Sax, Food and Wine August 1990) 2. To bring back into existence or use: reinvented the concept of neighborliness.
•• По сути это, конечно, просто оттенки одного значения. А вот перевод в обоих случаях неочевиден. В первом примере можно, наверное, сказать она предложила новый/ собственный/ обновленный вариант ( новую интерпретацию) индийской кухни. Во втором действительно напрашивается глагол возродить.
•• Интересно употребление этого слова в отношении людей, как правило в варианте to reinvent oneself: Our continuing series on people reinventing themselves through their work (National Public Radio)- <...> о людях, которые начинают новую жизнь, сменив занятие или реализуют себя в новом деле.
