- clock is fastCHOICE OF WORDS:(1.) Русскому существительному часы в английском языке соответствуют слова clock и watch, которые различаются тем, где они обычно находятся. Clock обозначает любые часы, которые не носят при себе: a wall (tower, city) clock настенные (башенные, городские) часы. Watch - любые часы, которые можно носить при себе: a pocket (wrist) watch карманные (ручные) часы. (2.) Русское существительное "часы" имеет только форму множественного числа, а его английский эквивалент имеет обе формы - и единственного и множественного числа, т. е. русской форме множественного числа "мои часы" соответствует в английском языке форма единственного числа my watch, city clock. (3.) Во множественном числе watch и clock обозначают множество этих предметов: an exhibition of old clocks and watches. Английское существительное o'clock употребляется только для указания времени на циферблате: it is two o'clock by my watch (by the hall clock) сейчас два часа по моим часам (на часах в коридоре). -
