7 pathetic
•• pathos, pathetic
•• Pathos quality in speech, writing, etc., which arouses a feeling of pity, sympathy or tenderness.
•• Pathetic able to be considered sad, pitiful, or contemptible (A.S. Hornby).
•• Эти слова и их отличия от русских пафос, патетический хорошо описаны в Словаре «ложных друзей переводчика» под редакцией В.В.Акуленко. Но, поскольку этот словарь малодоступен, а ошибки в переводе этих слов (с английского и с русского) очень часты, приведу несколько примеров оттуда, точно характеризующих эти отличия:
•• 1. To a higher being, if there is such, our little faces one and all appear, no doubt, pathetic. – Высшему существу, если оно есть, все наши лица представляются, несомненно, жалкими;
•• 2. A lady sang a sentimental ballad in Spanish, and it made one or two of us weep – it was so pathetic (Jerome K. Jerome). – Одна дама спела по-испански чувствительную балладу, и некоторые из нас даже заплакали – это было так трогательно.
•• Общий компонент в разных оттенках значения слова pathetic – способность вызывать жалость. Иногда – до смешного (жалкая личность), причем в разговорном употреблении «жалость» переходит в презрение: You’re pathetic. – Ты (просто) ничтожество. Гораздо реже – трогательно, меланхолично. Например, her pathetic beautiful eyes (W.S. Maugham) – ее красивые, печальные глаза; her pathetic look (W.S. Maugham) – ее скорбный взгляд и т.д. В значении проникнутый сильными чувствами, исполненный пафоса, близком к русскому патетический, это слово встречается неизмеримо реже. Слово pathos в английских текстах встречается редко и означает способность вызывать жалость. Русское пафос передается или словом spirit (revolutionary spirit) или словами idea, message, etc. Пафос шекспировской драмы «Ромео и Джульетта» составляет идея любви (В.Белинский). – It is the idea of love that gives Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliette” its emotional impact. Русское патетический – passionate, emotional.
