prep. often used elliptically by dropping the case, or even merely adverbially, [Ulf. af; A. S. and Engl. of, off; Hel. ab; Germ. ab; Gr. άπό; Lat. a, ab.] With dat. denoting a motion a loco; one of the three prepp. af, ór, frá, corresponding to those in loco—á, í, við, and ad locum—á, í, at. It in general corresponds to the prepp. in loco—á, or in locum— til, whilst ór answers more to í; but it also frequently corresponds to yfir, um or í. It ranges between ór and frá, generally denoting the idea from the surface of, while ór means from the inner part, and frá from the outer part or border. The motion from a hill, plain, open place is thus denoted by af; by ór that from an enclosed space, depth, cavity, thus af fjalli, but ór of a valley, dale; af Englandi, but ór Danmörk, as mörk implies the notion of a deep wood, forest. The wind blows af landi, but a ship sets sail frá landi; frá landi also means a distance from: af hendi, of a glove, ring; ór hendi, of whatever has been kept in the hand (correl. to á hendi and í hendi). On the other hand af is more general, whilst frá and ór are of a more special character; frá denoting a departure, ór an impulse or force; a member goes home af þingi, whereas ór may denote an inmate of a district, or convey the notion of secession or exclusion from, Eb. 105 new Ed.; the traveller goes af landi, the exile ór landi: taka e-t af e-m is to take a thing out of one’s hand, that of taka frá e-m to remove out of one’s sight, etc. In general af answers to Engl. of, off, ór to out of, and frá to from: the Lat. prepp. ab, de, and ex do not exactly correspond to the Icelandic, yet as a rule ór may answer to ex, af sometimes to ab, sometimes to de. Of, off, from among; with, by; on account of by means of, because of concerning, in respect of.

X. it often refers to a whole sentence or to an adverb, not only like other prepp. to hér, hvar, þar, but also redundantly to hvaðan, héðan, þaðan, whence, hence, thence.

2. the preposition may sometimes be repeated, once elliptically or adverbially, and once properly, e. g. en er af var borit at borðinu, the cloth was taken off from the table, Nj. 176; Guð þerrir af (off, away) hvert tár af ( from) augum heilagra manna, God wipes off every tear from the eyes of his saints, 655 xx. vii. 17; skal þó fyrst bætr af lúka af fé vegaiula, pay off, from, Gþl. 160, the last af may be omitted—var þá af borið borðinu—and the prep. thus be separated from its case, or it may refer to some of the indecl. relatives er or sem, the prep. hvar, hér, þar being placed behind them without a case, and referring to the preceding relative, e. g. oss er þar mikit af sagt auð þeim, we have been told much about these riches, Band. 24; er þat skjótast þar af at segja, in short, shortly. Eg. 546; þaðan af veit ek, thence í infer, know, Fms. i. 97.

XI. it is moreover connected with a great many verbs besides those mentioned above, e. g. bera af, to excel, whence afbragð, afbrigði; draga af, to detract, deduct, hence afdráttr; veita ekki af, to be hard with; ganga at, to be left, hence afgangr; standast af um e-t, to stand, how matters stand; sem af tekr, at a furious rate; vita af, to be conscious, know about (vide VII).

D. As a prefix to compounds distinction is to be made between:

I. af privativum, denoting diminution, want, deduction, loss, separation, negation of, etc., answering indifferently to Lat. ab-, de-, ex-, dis-, and rarely to re- and se-, v. the following COMPDS, such as segja, dicere, but afsegja, negare; rækja, colere, but afrækja, negligere; aflaga, contra legem; skapligr, normalis, afskapligr, deformis; afvik, recessus; afhús, afhellir, afdalr, etc.

II. af intensivum, etymologically different, and akin to of, afr-, e. g. afdrykkja = ofdrykkja, inebrietas; afbrýði, jealously; afbendi, tenesmus; afglapi, vir fatuus, etc. etc. Both the privative and the intensive af may be contracted into á, esp. before a labial f, m, v, e. g. á fram = af fram; ábrýði = afbrýði; ávöxtr = afvöxtr; áburðr = afburðr; ávíta = afvíta (?). In some cases dubious. With extenuated and changed vowel; auvirðiligr or övirðiligr, depreciated, = afv- etc., v. those words.

19 challenge

•• Challenge 1. a call to engage in a contest of skill, strength, etc.... 6. a difficulty in an undertaking that is stimulating (The Random House Dictionary).

•• Не так уж редко это распространенное английское слово можно перевести менее распространенным русским вызов. Хотя некоторым оно кажется в этом значении довольно неуклюжим, все же можно считать его достаточно укоренившимся в русском языке, а потому вполне подходящим в таком, скажем, примере: The level of unemployment among young people is one of the greatest challenges facing the country today. Не нравится вызов – можно воспользоваться словом проблема, правда, очень уж затертым у нас. Аналогичный пример из журнала Time: For many, getting any job after high school is one of life’s stiffest challenges. Но вот пример, где надо постараться передать еще не стертую экспрессивность этого английского слова: The English Channel is only twenty miles across but it presents a challenge even to the strongest swimmers. - Ширина Ла-Манша – всего двадцать миль, но переплыть его – задача, требующая максимума усилий (огромного напряжения сил) даже для сильного пловца. К аналогичному приему можно прибегнуть и при переводе такого предложения (из Time): The challenge facing the Nentsi – and the Russian government – is how to exploit the natural wealth of the Yamal Peninsula without destroying the cultural wealth of the Nentsi people. - От ненцев (и от российского правительства) потребуется немало усилий и изобретательности, чтобы освоить природные богатства Ямала, не разрушая культурного богатства народа.
•• Интересен вариант перевода этого слова, подсказанный приведенным в начале статьи определением: challenge – стимул и даже раздражитель.
•• А теперь о получивших очень широкое распространение в последнее время выражениях типа adverb + challenged. Насколько мне известно, мода началась с выражения vertically challenged, ставшего «политкорректным» (см. об этом явлении в статье policy, politics, politician) синонимом слова short в значении низкорослый. В статье Life Is a Struggle for the Vertically Challenged автор Джозеф Блокер (Joseph Blocher) пишет: Being short is not just a physical attribute; it is a way of life. Далее идут примеры дискриминации, неудобств и проблем в общении, с которыми сталкиваются в США люди невысокого роста (этот перевод кажется мне в большинстве случаев вполне приемлемым). По этой модели образовано несколько выражений, относящихся к людям с физическими или иными недостатками, например, physically challenged (Physically Challenged Golf Association – Ассоциация для игроков в гольф с физическими недостатками или, если считать, что русское слово инвалид не является в нашей культуре обидным, Ассоциация гольфистов-инвалидов) и даже просто challenged (Challenged Athletes Foundation – Фонд поддержки спортсменов-инвалидов; challenged children – дети с затруднениями/проблемами в развитии). Постепенно, однако, как и все проявления политкорректности, эти выражения стали вызывать у некоторых американцев раздражение и переосмысливаться иронически. Отсюда, например, довольно забавное переложение сказки о Красной Шапочке: Vertically Challenged Red Riding Hood (я бы перевел это название еще более утрированно: «Вертикально озадаченная девочка в красном головном уборе»). Самое главное для переводчика – уловить, используется ли выражение этого типа всерьез или с иронией, а также меру иронии. Что же касается вариантов перевода, то их разброс может быть очень велик: приходится, в частности, учитывать, есть ли необходимость в соблюдении «политкорректности» в русском тексте. В большинстве примеров, приведенных выше, такая необходимость, пожалуй, есть. А вот в названии Интернет-сайта Assistance for the Technologically Challenged я ее не вижу. Возможный перевод – Для тех, кто не в ладах/в трудных отношениях с техникой (встречается примерно в том же значении electronically challenged). Photo Travel: Tour of Italy for the Financially Challenged – здесь for the financially challenged служит синонимом выражения on a budget: – Путешествие по Италии для людей с ограниченными финансами/средствами или По Италии с минимумом расходов. Очень интересный пример – использование выражения этого типа в намеренно политически некорректном, резко критическом смысле: Madeleine Albright: Ethically Challenged (название статьи известного публициста Уильяма Блюма). Я бы перевел «Этическая глухота Мадлен Олбрайт».

20 conscience money

1) сумма подоходного налога, анонимно присылаемая на имя канцлера казначейства ( министра финансов) налогоплательщиком, первоначально уклонившимся от её уплаты

Did you ever wonder who are those people who pay "conscience money" to the Chancellor of the Exchequer? While such payments are reported names are never revealed. (‘Daily Worker’) — Интересовались вы когда-нибудь, кто же эти люди, анонимно посылающие канцлеру казначейства подоходный налог, от уплаты которого они первоначально уклонились? О подобных случаях возращения денег газеты сообщают, но имена никогда не называются.

2) деньги, выплачиваемые (для успокоения совести) на благотворительные нужды

Sir Robert Chiltern: "I don't say that I suffered any remorse... But I have paid conscience money many times. I had a wild hope that I might disarm destiny. The sum Baron Arnheim gave me I have distributed twice over in public charities since then." (O. Wilde, ‘An Ideal Husband’, act II) — Сэр Роберт Чилтерн: "Не скажу, чтобы я когда-нибудь испытывал угрызения совести... Но я много раз пытался откупиться и умилостивить судьбу. За эти годы я пожертвовал на благотворительные цели вдвое больше, чем получил от барона Арнгейма."

Undershaft: "...I am not one of those men who keep their morals and their business in watertight compartments. All the spare money my trade rivals spend on hospitals, cathedrals and other receptacles for conscience money, I devote to experiments and researches in improved methods of destroying life and property." (B. Shaw, ‘Major Barbara’, act I) — Андершафт: "...я не из тех людей, у которых мораль и профессия совершенно изолированы друг от друга. Все лишние деньги, которые мои конкуренты для успокоения совести жертвуют на больницы, соборы и прочее, я трачу на опыты и исследования, совершенствующие методы уничтожения жизни и собственности."
