119 -pagare-
Nota d'uso1 Con il verbo to pay il servizio, il lavoro o il bene pagato è preceduto da for: Devo pagarti i libri, I have to pay you for the books (non I have to pay you the books); Ha pagato lui la cena, he paid for (the) dinner (non he paid the dinner); La traduzione deve ancora essere pagata, the translation still has to be paid for (non the translation still has to be paid).2 Davanti alla somma pagata e a termini che indicano una somma ( conto, debito, tassa, multa, affitto, ecc.), non si usa alcuna preposizione: Ho pagato soltanto 10 sterline, I paid only 10 pounds; Ha pagato l'appartamento 100.000 euro, he paid 100,000 euros for the flat; Dovetti pagare una multa salata, I had to pay a hefty fine; Chi ha pagato il conto?, who paid the bill?Se si nomina anche chi riceve il pagamento, nel caso 2 to pay è un verbo che regge un doppio complemento oggetto: Non gli ho ancora pagato l'affitto, I haven't paid him the rent yet; Mi hanno pagato molto poco per la recensione, They paid me very little for the review. -
120 -to restructure o to renovate?-
Nota d'usoIl verbo ristrutturare, in campo edilizio, non va sempre tradotto letteralmente con “to restructure”. Quando si tratta di lavori di miglioramento in un appartamento o in un edificio si utilizza comunemente il verbo “to renovate” o, più informalmente, “to do up”: Sto ristrutturando la mia casa, I'm renovating (o doing up) my house. Un'alternativa più formale è “to refurbish”: L'appartamento è stato completamente ristrutturato, the flat has been fully refurbished. Il verbo “to restructure”, usato in questo contesto, implicherebbe un'alterazione radicale dell'edificio.English-Italian dictionary > -to restructure o to renovate?-
