    Русское прилагательное умный называет факт присутствия ума у человека, но не уточняет, в какой форме, области и ситуации проявляется ум. В отличие от русского, английские эквиваленты часто указывают на сферу применения ума (bright), на форму его реализации (smart, shrewd) и степень наличия ума (clever, wise) и т. п.
    1. intelligent — умный, смышленый, разумный, сообразительный, способный, хорошо соображаюший, понятливый (обладающий умственными способностями, хорошим пониманием и умением продумывать то, что происходит): an intelligent child — понятливый ребенок/разумный ребенок; an intelligent question — умный вопрос; an intelligent answer— разумный ответ Her son was a sensitive and highly intelligent young man who was fond of reading poetry. — Ее сын был умным и тонко чувствующим молодым человеком, который любил поэзию. You have to be very intelligent! o go to the university. — Надо обладать хорошим умом, чтобы учиться в университете. Monkeys are very intelligent animals. — Обезьяны очень умные животные. Some scientists claim that dolphins are more intelligent than humans. — Некоторые ученые утверждают, что дельфины умнее человека./Некоторые ученые заявляют, что дельфины разумнее человека.
    2. clever — умный ( способный к учению и быстро схватывающий новые сведения): a clever man (child) — умный человек (ребенок); a clever dog — умная собака; a clever action — умный поступок; a clever speech — умная речь; clever words — разумные слова;! о be clever — быть умным; to become/to get/to grow clever— поумнеть; to be clever enough lo do smth — быть достаточно умным, чтобы сделать что-либо Не was clever enough nol to answer her. — У него хватило ума не отвечать ей. My sister was always the cleverest student in her class. — Моя сестра всегда была самой умной ученицей в классе. Не can do all kinds of tricks — he is a really clever dog. — Он очень умный пес, он умеет делать разные фокусы./Зто поистине умный пес, он умеет делать разные фокусы. It was clever of you to guess where I was going. — Хорошо, что ты сообразил/догадался, куда я иду.

    Из-за поворота выкатил встречный «ЗИЛ» Жорки Борбаряна... «Э-и-ей, дядя Митя!» — крикнул Жорка, высовывая голову из окна, и в голосе его, конечно, было восхищение сноровкой старшего товарища. Дядя Митя только успел ему сделать ручкой. Жорку он уважал. Подпирает молодёжь, на ходу подмётки рвёт (Аксенов 10). From round a bend Zhorka Borbaryan's Zil came at them...."Heh-e-eh, Old Mitya!" Zhorka shouted, sticking his head out of the window, his voice, of course, full of delight at his old mate's technique. Mitya had time only to wave. He had a great respect for Zhorka. These youngsters were pushing their way in-brazen they were (10a).
