  • 110 workmen's compensation

    Общее название программ, которые осуществляются в штатах и предусматривают возмещение ущерба работнику или членам его семьи в случае получения им производственной травмы, профессионального заболевания или его смерти в результате несчастного случая на производстве. В законах предусматривается ответственность работодателя за нарушение техники безопасности, а также выплата пособий, включая оплату лечения и компенсацию за потерю трудоспособности. Такие пособия оплачиваются из страховки, которую работодатель приобретает для каждого работника. В XIX в. опасность определенной работы была частью риска, на который работник соглашался при найме; в соответствии с существовавшим правилом ["fellow servant" rule] он не мог предъявить иск к работодателю, если причиной получения травмы была его собственная небрежность. В 1908 Конгресс отменил это правило для железнодорожников, приняв Национальный закон об ответственности работодателей [National Employers' Liability Act]. В 1911 в штате Висконсин была принята первая программа социального страхования [ social security], которая предусматривала выплату обязательного пособия по нетрудоспособности; с 1949 такие законы есть во всех штатах. Федеральное законодательство предусматривает программы выплаты пособий федеральным служащим, а также другим категориям работников, выплата пособий которым не предусмотрена законами штатов (в начале 1990-х к этим категориям относилось около 15 процентов работников, в том числе моряки торгового флота и работники частных компаний в округе Колумбия [ District of Columbia]). Основные законодательные акты в этой области: Закон о компенсации федеральным служащим [Federal Employees Compensation Act] (1916), Закон о компенсации портовым грузчикам и другим портовым работникам [Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act], а также Закон о пособиях при болезнях легких [Black Lung Benefits Act], предусматривающий выплаты шахтерам. Осуществлением этих федеральных программ занимается Управление программами пособий по нетрудоспособности [Office of Workers' Compensation Programs] при Министерстве труда США [ Department of Labor, U.S.], частично - Администрация социального страхования [ Social Security Administration].

  • 111 go postal


    •• Выражение to go postal представляет собой типичный пример языковой моды (см. статью vogue words, buzz words and catch phrases). Это словесное поветрие распространилось в 1990-х годах и – не столь уж частый случай в Америке – вызвало не просто полемику, а даже определенные социальные последствия, о чем несколько ниже. По смыслу оно не привнесло в язык ничего нового – это синоним таких выражений, как to go berserk, to go haywire или (с несколько иным оттенком) to go ballistic. Именно так оно определяется на Интернет-сайтах, следящих за новыми явлениями в английском языке (в известных мне словарях оно пока не зафиксировано).
    •• Сайт The Phrase Finder (http://www.phrases.org.uk/):
    •• go berserk. Originated in the USA in the 1990s, where there were several incidents of people going berserk and shooting numerous members of the public in post offices.
    •• Сайт Logophilia (www.logophilia.com):
    •• a euphemism for becoming stressed out to the point of losing it completely (это определение практически полностью соответствует смыслу русского выражения крыша поехала – см. статью об этом выражении в русско-английской части словаря).
    •• На мой взгляд, наиболее точное представление о смысле, происхождении и коннотациях этого выражения дает определение с сайта хьюстонского Университета Райс (Rice University).
    •• Сайт New Words in English (www.owlnet.rice.edu):
    •• postal, adj. extremely hostile. [From the observation of postal workers going insane and killing fellow co-workers. Found most often in expressions go postal and get postal].
    •• Теперь яснее, почему вокруг этого выражения, как у нас говорят, сыр-бор разгорелся. Приведу цитату из статьи в газете «Сан-Франциско кроникл»: “Going postal” is no longer just slang for crazed mass murder. It’s now a key phrase in a new computer game so violent that it has postal workers, well, up in arms. Called “Postal,” it features a gun-toting character who goes berserk. Throughout the game, players often hear a woman screaming, “He’s going postal!” Далее газета сообщает, что с осуждением подобного стереотипа, создающего ложное представление о тружениках американской почты, выступил руководитель почтового ведомства США (Postmaster General). Более того: Mail carriers’ union members are boycotting the game. Но, как это ни странно, во всяком случае для тех, кто считает США страной торжествующей политкорректности (см. статью policy, politics, politician), выражение to go postal закрепилось в речи.
    •• Несколько слов о его переводе.

    •• Выражение to go postal представляет собой типичный пример языковой моды (см. статью vogue words, buzz words and catch phrases). Это словесное поветрие распространилось в 1990-х годах и – не столь уж частый случай в Америке – вызвало не просто полемику, а даже определенные социальные последствия, о чем несколько ниже. По смыслу оно не привнесло в язык ничего нового – это синоним таких выражений, как to go berserk, to go haywire или (с несколько иным оттенком) to go ballistic. Именно так оно определяется на Интернет-сайтах, следящих за новыми явлениями в английском языке (в известных мне словарях оно пока не зафиксировано).
    •• Сайт The Phrase Finder (http://www.phrases.org.uk/):
    •• go berserk. Originated in the USA in the 1990s, where there were several incidents of people going berserk and shooting numerous members of the public in post offices.
    •• Сайт Logophilia (www.logophilia.com):
    •• a euphemism for becoming stressed out to the point of losing it completely (это определение практически полностью соответствует смыслу русского выражения крыша поехала – см. статью об этом выражении в русско-английской части словаря).
    •• На мой взгляд, наиболее точное представление о смысле, происхождении и коннотациях этого выражения дает определение с сайта хьюстонского Университета Райс (Rice University).
    •• Сайт New Words in English (www.owlnet.rice.edu):
    •• postal, adj. extremely hostile. [From the observation of postal workers going insane and killing fellow co-workers. Found most often in expressions go postal and get postal].
    •• Теперь яснее, почему вокруг этого выражения, как у нас говорят, сыр-бор разгорелся. Приведу цитату из статьи в газете «Сан-Франциско кроникл»: “Going postal” is no longer just slang for crazed mass murder. It’s now a key phrase in a new computer game so violent that it has postal workers, well, up in arms. Called “Postal,” it features a gun-toting character who goes berserk. Throughout the game, players often hear a woman screaming, “He’s going postal!” Далее газета сообщает, что с осуждением подобного стереотипа, создающего ложное представление о тружениках американской почты, выступил руководитель почтового ведомства США (Postmaster General). Более того: Mail carriers’ union members are boycotting the game. Но, как это ни странно, во всяком случае для тех, кто считает США страной торжествующей политкорректности (см. статью policy, politics, politician), выражение to go postal закрепилось в речи.
