- use every possible means•USAGE:(1.) Существительное means во всех своих значениях имеет только одну форму, сходную с формой множественного числа. В своем первом значении means соответствует русскому средства, также имеющему только форму множественного числа. В этом значении means согласуется с глаголом во множественном числе: her means are small у нее небольшие средства. (2.) В значении means 2. соответствует русским "средство, способ", которые в русском языке имеют обе формы числа. В этом значении means может согласовываться с глаголами, как в единственном, так и множественном числе: the quickest means of travel is by plane самое быстрое средство передвижения - самолет; every means has been tried были испробованы все пути/все средства; this is a dangerous means это опасное средство. В равной степени возможны и другие употребления: all (such) means are always unpleasant такие средства всегда неприятны; all possible means have been tried были использованы все возможные способы (средства). К подобным существительным относятся headquarters, crossroads: there is a dangerous crossroads at the bottom of the hill у подножья холма есть опасный перекресток; there are three crossroads before you turn right до того места, где вам надо повернуть направо, три перекрестка. Следует обратить внимание на различие значений сочетаний by all means и by all possible means или by all the means in our power. By all means означает конечно и часто употребляется для выражения безусловного разрешения в ответ на просьбу: Can I borrow your umbrella? - By all means. Можно мне взять ваш зонтик? - Конечно/безусловно/пожалуйста; by all means get yourself a new pair of gloves, but don't spend too much money конечно, купи себе новые перчатки, но не трать слишком много денег на это. Сочетание by all possible means соответствует фразе всеми возможными путями/средствами: we must help him by all possible means мы всеми средствами должны ему помочь. (4.) Словосочетание by no means или not by any means обозначает категорическое отрицание и в этом значении эквивалентно английскому definitely not: Is it all you've got to say? -By no means. Это все, что вы можете сказать? - Конечно же нет. Grig is by no means my favourite composer. Григ далеко не самый мой любимый композитор -
