54 Pliny the Elder (Gaius Plinius Secundus)
SUBJECT AREA: Metallurgy[br]b. c. 23 AD Como, Italyd. 25 August 79 AD near Pompeii, Italy[br]Roman encyclopedic writer on the natural world.[br]Pliny was well educated in Rome, and for ten years or so followed a military career with which he was able to combine literary work, writing especially on historical subjects. He completed his duties c. 57 AD and concentrated on writing until he resumed his official career in 69 AD with administrative duties. During this last phase he began work on his only extant work, the thirty-seven "books" of his Historia Naturalis (Natural History), each dealing with a broad subject such as astronomy, geography, mineralogy, etc. His last post was the command of the fleet based at Misenum, which came to an end when he sailed too near Vesuvius during the eruption that engulfed Pompeii and he was overcome by the fumes.Pliny developed an insatiable curiosity about the natural world. Unlike the Greeks, the Romans made few original contributions to scientific thought and observation, but some made careful compilations of the learning and observations of Greek scholars. The most notable and influential of these was the Historia Naturalis. To the ideas about the natural world gleaned from earlier Greek authors, he added information about natural history, mineral resources, crafts and some technological processes, such as the extraction of metals from their ores, reported to him from the corners of the Empire. He added a few observations of his own, noted during travels on his official duties. Not all the reports were reliable, and the work often presents a tangled web of fact and fable. Gibbon described it as an immense register in which the author has "deposited the discoveries, the arts, and the errors of mankind". Pliny was indefatigable in his relentless note-taking, even dictating to his secretary while dining.During the Dark Ages and early Middle Ages in Western Europe, Pliny's Historia Naturalis was the largest known collection of facts about the natural world and was drawn upon freely by a succession of later writers. Its influence survived the influx into Western Europe, from the twelfth century, of translations of the works of Greek and Arab scholars. After the invention of printing in the middle of the fifteenth century, Pliny was the first work on a scientific subject to be printed, in 1469. Many editions followed and it may still be consulted with profit for its insights into technical knowledge and practice in the ancient world.[br]BibliographyThe standard Latin text with English translation is that edited by H.Rackham et al.(1942– 63, Loeb Classical Library, London: Heinemann, 10 vols). The French version is by A.Further ReadingThe editions mentioned above include useful biographical and other details.

55 improve the occasion
воспользоваться случаем, использовать удобный случай, улучить момент (тж. improve each (или the) shining hour) [выражение improve each shining hour создано поэтом И. Уоттсом (I. Watts, 1674-1748):Improve each shining hour,From every opening flower. (‘Divine Songs for Children’, ‘Against Idleness and Mischief’, 1720)]It was in my mind to improve the occasion, but I remembered in time that she has no mother, and is our guest, so I only said: ‘You know, dear Hatty, Timothy does not like his books touched.’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘On Forsyte 'Change’ ‘Timothy's Narrow Squeak’) — я подумала было о том, чтобы отчитать Хэтти, но вовремя вспомнила, что у нее нет матери и что она наша гостья, и сказала только: - Знаете ли, Хэтти, Тимоти не любит, когда трогают его книги.
He... made himself charming with her father and mother and improved the shining hours by tapping Theron Wynne for information on the Wynne Company coal and timber resources. (J. O'Hara, ‘The Lockwood Concern’, book I) — Джордж Локвуд... старался очаровать родителей Агнессы и между прочим не упустил возможности вытянуть у Терона Уинна сведения о запасах угля и леса, которыми располагала компания Уинна.
She was something of a grand dame and, what made it worse, spoke like one. Apparently she had improved the occasion, soon after she got to the party, by announcing to Irene: ‘I think it's so sensible of people to think out how to entertain, and strike out for themselves. If they can't give dinner-parties, why shouldn't they give bits and pieces afterwards?’ (C. P. Snow, ‘The Affair’, ch. V) — Миссис Скеффингтон почитала себя гранд-дамой и, что еще хуже, разговаривала на манер гранд-дамы. Войдя в гостиную, она очень скоро нашла случай блеснуть, заявив Айрин: - я полагаю большим достоинством умение оригинально принять гостей. Если вы не в состоянии устраивать обеды, почему бы, право, не подать после приема кой-какую закуску?

Dickens, ‘Martin Chuzzlewlt’, ch. III) — - А в то же время я должна сказать, и говорю по чистой совести, - заметила серьезно хозяйка, - что по виду и манерам она не внушает подозрений.
‘You are a funny feller. I can't make you out.’ ‘It's very simple. I'm such a blasted fool as to love you with all my heart and soul, and I know that you don't care twopence for me.’ (W. S. Maugham, ‘Of Human Bondage’, ch. 59) — - От вас прямо помрешь, ей-богу! Никак я вас не разберу. - Да все очень просто: я, как набитый дурак, полюбил вас без памяти, а вам, я знаю, до меня нет и дела.
2) усердно, вкладывая всю душу (во что-л.)I am convinced that when he sat down at his desk to turn out another of his innumerable books, he wrote as one inspired, with all his heart and soul. (W. S. Maugham, ‘A Writer's Notebook’, ‘1941’) — я убежден, что, когда Чарльз Гарвис садится за письменный стол и пишет свою очередную книгу, которых написано им без счета, он пишет ее вдохновенно, вкладывает в работу всю душу.
