3 closure
•• * В «Моем несистематическом словаре» это слово попало в статью vogue words, buzz words and catch phrases. Как всегда бывает с модными словами, оно обрастает новыми оттенками значений, причем существующие словари не всегда могут оказать существенную помощь переводчику. В опубликованной в Washington Post статье Political Opinion, Not Pathology, by Arie W. Kruglanski and John T. Jost оно употребляется в значении определенность, однозначность. Начало статьи:
•• In the May issue of Psychological Bulletin, we published a review that statistically summarizes dozens of studies conducted over 50 years dealing with psychological differences associated with left- vs. right-wing thinking. Based on this literature, we found that the likelihood of adopting conservative rather than liberal political opinions is significantly correlated, among other psychological dimensions, with a sense of societal instability, fear of death, intolerance of ambiguity, need for closure, lower cognitive complexity and a sense of threat.
•• Такая интерпретация слова closure подтверждается предложением в конце статьи:
•• The need to achieve closure and to resolve ambiguity, for example, are heightened under conditions of destabilizing uncertainty (for example, with the outbreak of terrorism, economic turmoil or political instability).
•• Как видим, closure здесь – антоним ambiguity.
•• Можно ли считать это отдельным значением или окказиональным словоупотреблением, требующим контекстуального перевода? Вопрос спорный.

4 a strange bed-fellow
человек, с которым случайно свела судьба; временный союзник; см. тж. adversity makes strange bedfellowsLawrence was published with the Georgians, but there could have been no stranger bed-fellow. (W. R. McAlpine ‘Contemporary English Literature’, ‘D. H. Lawrence as Poet’, Kenk) — Лоуренса опубликовали вместе с поэтами эпохи королей Георгов. Он оказался в их компании совершенно случайно.
With Juan Peron gone, the danger was that his followers, who ranged from conservative businessmen to radical students... would realize what impossibly strange bedfellows they made. (‘Time’) — После смерти Хуана Перона возникла опасность, что его сторонники от консерваторов бизнесменов до радикалов студентов... поймут, какую невозможно разношерстную компанию они собой представляют.
