(2.) В американском варианте английского языка shop - только маленький магазин, торгующий каким-либо одним товаром. Все другие магазины в американском варианте называются stores. Универсальный магазин в обоих вариантах английского языка называется a department store или a supermarket. В современной системе торговли появились целые районы магазинов, часто соединенных между собой - shopping centres, shopping molls. (3.) Торговые точки передаются разными словами в зависимости от их расположения и вида - shop, store, stand, stall, counter. Shop и store - магазины, располагающиеся в специально отведенном для них помещении внутри здания или занимающие все здание: All big stores are open from 8 a.m. Все большие магазины открываются с восьми часов утра. Could you run down to the shop and (buy) get me some cigarettes? Ты бы не сбегал в магазин мне за сигаретами? There is a shop that sells milk just round the corner. Тут за углом есть магазин, где продается молоко. Stall - ларек, киоск, стол на рынке, стойка, лоток - находятся вне здания, на улице, как правило, с открытой передней стенкой или открытые со всех сторон: market stalls столы на рынке; Janet has a fruit and vegetables stall at the market. У Дженет место на рынке для продажи фруктов и овощей. Stand - имеет два значения: (1) стойка, прилавок, отдел - используется для названия отделов внутри магазина в пределах главного зала; имеет доступную для обозрения витрину, в которой выставлены товары: small wares stand отдел штучных товаров; information stand справочный стол; grocery stand бакалейный отдел; (2) ларек, киоск, располагающиеся вне здания, как отдельная торговая точка, имеют открытую витрину: a newspaper stand газетный киоск; a hamburger stand киоск с горячими сосисками.
