б) Если вероятностное прогнозирование или здравый смысл подсказывают дальнейшее развитие мысли оратора, переводчик может заменить причастие именной конструкцией:

Интересы этих народов требуют, чтобы были приняты безотлагательные меры по оздоровлению обстановки в регионе. – The interests of those peoples require the taking of immediate measures/measures that can be taken/to improve the situation in the region.
*** В полной мере здесь должны быть использованы каналы Всемирной кампании за разоружение. – Full use should be made here of the opportunities provided by the World Disarmament Campaign.
в) Возможно опустить причастие:

Нам также представляется правильным принятый Комитетом подход к выработке общих рекомендаций, согласно которому акцент будет делаться на качестве разрабатываемых им рекомендаций. – We also believe that the Committee’s approach to drawing up recommendations is correct, namely that stress will be placed on the quality of the recommendations it produces/draws up/makes/comes up with.

г) Сведение причастного оборота к прилагательному:

Такой ориентированный на деловой результат подход даст возможность добиться необходимой активизации роли нашей комиссии. – Such a determined/vigorous/single-minded approach will provide/allow for the required/needed stepping up/intensification of the role of our committee.

3. Перевод предложений, начинающихся с глаголов со значением необходимости и долженствования:

there is

Требует своего совершенствования процедура рассмотрения документов. – There is a need to improve the procedure for consideration of documents.
Необходимо всемерно повышать… - There is a need to raise in every way/it is essential to raise in every way… Необходимо более тесное международное сотрудничество… - There is a need for closer international cooperation/What is needed is closer international cooperation…
Особенно эффективно использовать there is, если переводчик не хочет вводить подлежащее или ставить глагол в пассивную форму:

Надо это сделать. – There is a need to do it/
C.f. We need to do it. (введено подлежащее) This should be done. (глагол в пассиве)
4. Перевод безличных предложений.

It is - в качестве тематического подлежащего

Проводить тренировку лучше днем или вечером. – It is best to do these exercises in the afternoon or evening.
Легче попасть в беду, чем выпутаться из нее. – It is easier to get into trouble than out of it.
5. Если прямое дополнение, обозначающее предмет действия, превращается в английском предложении в подлежащее, то сказуемое выражается при помощи пассивной глагольной конструкции.

Толкали его. – He was pushed.
Первые шаги в этой области предприняла ЮНЕСКО. – The first steps in this field were taken by UNESCO.
6. Неопределенно-личные конструкции переводятся пассивом.

Говорят, он хороший актер. – He is said to be a good actor.
Ее считают способной учительницей. – She is considered a good teacher. Нам внушали, что наша система лучше. – We have been led to believe/told that our system is better.
Иногда глагол можно заменить существительным:

Готовились праздновать Новый год. – Preparations were under way/begun for celebrating New Year.

7. Безличная конструкция с инфинитивом переводится при помощи местоимения it или личного местоимения.

Радоваться нам надо, а не плакать. – We should be happy and not cry/instead of crying.
Не надо так говорить. – You must not say that/You shouldn’t talk like that. Что делать? – What should we/you do?
8. Русское прилагательное, помещенное на начальное место в предложении с целью выделения, может потребовать при переводе на английский, помимо изменения порядка слов, использования усилительного слова или конструкции.

Прекрасный ты испекла торт! – What a fantastic cake you baked!
Видела я первые его шаги. – I saw him take his very first steps. Голодная я! – Am I starving!/Because I’m hungry, that’s why! Невероятная это была история. – It was an absolutely unbelievable story.
9. Разделение в русском предложении словосочетания с целью логического выделения одного из слов может обусловить наличие в предложении двух интонационных центров.

Замечательный у тебя муж! – What a wonderful husband you have!
Очень сильно девочка ушиблась вчера. – She really got badly bruised yesterday. Триста ты мне должен долларов, дорогой! – That’s tree hundred you owe me, kiddo!
10. Интонационное выделение слова, стоящего в непривычной для себя начальной позиции, показывает, что именно оно особенно важно для говорящего. Такой инвертированный порядок слов характерен для вопросительных предложений в разговорном стиле.

Он к вам приходит когда? – When is it he’s coming to see you?
А говорит он ей что? – So what is he telling her?
***

Ваня, мне кажется, не пришел. ( интонационное выделение имени собственного) – I don’t think Vanya came.

10 СИНТАКСИС

1. Общее правило для переводчика: русское существительное, стоящее в начале предложения в косвенном падеже, следует преобразовывать в подлежащее английского предложения, вне зависимости от его исходной синтаксической роли.
Это наиболее надежный способ построить грамматически правильное и удобопонятное предложение на АЯ.
a) Конструкция «в + Пр.п» в начале предложения:

В выступлении президента было подчеркнуто, что никакие ссылки на терроризм не дают американской администрации права выступать в роли международного судьи. – The president’s statement emphasized that no reference to/invoking of terrorism can/give the American Administration the right to act as/ take the role of an international judge.

***

В работе пресс-конференции принимали участие рабочие всех отраслей. – The work of the conference involved/included (замена глагола для достижения естественности звучания английского предложения) workers from all industries/fields/areas.

***

Во французской ноте выражался решительный протест против этих действий. – The French note strongly/vigorously protested/contained a strong protest against such actions.

***

В этом докладе много материалов на данную тему. – This report contains a lot of materials on this subject.

г) Преобразование косвенного падежа в подлежащее с заменой активного глагола на пассивный:

О конструктивной роли, которую могли бы сыграть средства массовой информации, следует помнить. – The constructive role which the media could play should be recalled.

О причинах нынешней напряженности мы уже имели возможность сказать на заседаниях этого комитета. – The reasons for the present tension have already been addressed/are a subject we have already addressed at meetings of this committee.

д) Перевод предложений, начинающихся со слов в Вин.п.:

i)используется глагол to be (глагол «широкой семантики» - «бытийный глагол»).

Крайне опасный характер приобретает теперь терроризм. Extremely dangerous now is terrorism/Of particular danger now is terrorism.

ii) используются слова that, what или something вместе с «бытийным глаголом»:

Бесспорными являются тяжелые последствия усилий ЮАР в этой области для безопасности соседних государств. – What is unquestionable/Something which is unquestionable is the serious consequences of South Africa’s steps in this area for the security of neighboring states.

ж) Перевод местоимений в Вин.п.

з) Конструкции «от + Род.п.»

От понимания того, что является причиной сползания человечества к ядерной бездне, зависит и ответ на вопрос, можно ли остановить этот страшный процесс. – Understanding the reason for the mankind’s drift towards the nuclear abyss/nuclear disaster determines ( замена глагола) the answer to the question (as to) whether it is possible to stop this frightening/horrendous/fatal process.

Или Whether of not the world can avoid nuclear catastrophe – this will determine/this is what will determine the resolution…
2. Перевод оборотов, начинающихся с причастий

а) Начинать с причастия – напрашиваться на неприятности! Перевод можно начинать со слов that, what или something

Выдвинутая в заявлении Президента от 15 февраля программа освобождения человечества кс 2000 году от ядерного и иного оружия массового уничтожения рассматривает выделение средств на цели социального и экономического развития в качестве важнейшей сопутствующей меры соглашений по ограничению вооружений и разоружению. –
