  • 103 exposure

    •• Exposure exposing or being exposed to air or cold or danger, etc. (Oxford American Dictionary).

    •• Известен пример с предложением He died of exposure. Слово exposure употребляется здесь в значении (Новый БАРС) подвергание внешнему воздействию (хоть и неуклюже сказано, но лучше, может быть, не придумаешь). Oxford American Dictionary предлагает такое определение exposing or being exposed to air or cold or danger, etc. Вот именно, etc.! Ведь если не знать, где и когда человек умер (в пустыне? на Северном полюсе? в средней полосе? ночью? в полдень? и т.д.), то перевести совершенно невозможно. Нужен контекст.
    •• Но слово exposure может задать переводчику загадки и другого рода. Во всяком случае, в предлагаемых ниже примерах переводчику вряд ли помогут «словарные значения» типа разоблачение, выдержка, экспозиция, обнажение, которые можно найти в большинстве словарей. Even after his prison term for rape and his subsequent exposure as an ordinary fighter, Tyson still fascinates the public (Time). Здесь значение слова exposure настолько широкое, что, кажется, оно десемантизировалось – по остроумному выражению В.Г.Гака, подверглось семантическому «опустошению». Мало этого, как видно из словарного определения, exposure значит и exposing, и being exposed. Впрочем, опытному переводчику в данном случае не составит труда найти подходящее русское слово (например, выступление) – ведь смысл предложения абсолютно ясен из контекста. Слово exposure, кстати говоря, совсем не книжное. Вот цитата из записи выступления Билла Гейтса (опубликовано в журнале Fortune): I was lucky enough when I was quite young to have an exposure to computers... Вспомним совет: нередко в переводе слов с широкой семантикой подходят слова также с широкой семантикой: Мне повезло: еще совсем молодым я познакомился с компьютерами... (русское познакомиться действительно сильно десемантизируется).
    •• Сложнее обстоит дело в другом примере: Uralmash offers exposure to a large asset base but it has only just begun to restructure (из аналитического материала для инвесторов, подготовленного инвестиционной компанией Merrill Lynch). Думаю, что и здесь употреблено удобное, но семантически «опустошенное» слово. В переводе оно может просто исчезнуть, например: Уралмаш обладает мощной базой основных фондов. Можно все-таки попробовать проникнуть в смысл выражения offers exposure: Уралмаш дает инвестору доступ к значительным основным фондам. А вот то же слово (и тоже в экономическом контексте), но уже в «отрицательном» смысле: What assets the banks do have could be wiped out thanks to their exposure to so-called “dollar forward contracts” signed with Western banks (журнал Time о положении российских банков в связи с угрозой девальвации). Оно может быть передано с использованием слов ответственность или риск: Те реальные активы, которыми банки действительно обладают, могут исчезнуть вследствие ответственности банков по так называемым форвардным долларовым контрактам, заключенным с западными банками/Банки подвергли свои активы колоссальному риску, заключив так называемые долларовые форвардные контракты с западными банками.
    •• * Exposure – одно из тех английских слов, которые можно разбирать бесконечно. В «Моем несистематическом словаре» приводятся примеры, при переводе которых возникают контекстуальные варианты. Можно привести и множество других аналогичных примеров. Разумеется, двуязычный словарь не может включать большое количество контекстуальных переводов. Но варианты более или менее закономерные, которые могут пригодиться переводчику довольно часто, надо включать. Для слова exposure одним из таких вариантов (в рамках значения the condition of being subject to a force or influence) является русское контакт. Вот пример из статьи в New York Times о распространении эпидемии атипичной пневмонии в Канаде:
    •• For two weeks the tone of health care officials and local news media coverage had been increasingly upbeat that the disease was largely contained to a fixed number of people linked to a single chain of exposures beginning at one hospital.
    •• Один из последующих абзацев подтверждает, что exposure и contact в данном случае синонимичны:
    •• The new cluster originated when one member of the group contracted the virus at Scarborough Grace Hospital, where the entire Ontario outbreak began, and he passed it on to members of his family. He died and several group members were apparently infected at his funeral, where they came into contact with the man’s sick relatives before they were put in quarantine.
    •• Кстати, стоит обратить внимание на закрепившееся соответствие:
    •• SARS – Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – синдром атипичной пневмонии.
    •• Чаще по-русски говорят просто атипичная пневмония. Это тот случай, когда при одновременном появлении или открытии какого-либо явления в разных странах речь идет не столько о переводе с одного языка на другой, сколько о назывании (именовании) данного явления в соответствии с терминологическими традициями данного языка. В этом случае возможно существенное расхождение.

  • 107 Elder, John

    [br]
    b. 9 March 1824 Glasgow, Scotland
    d. 17 September 1869 London, England
    [br]
    Scottish engineer who introduced the compound steam engine to ships and established an important shipbuilding company in Glasgow.
    [br]
    John was the third son of David Elder. The father came from a family of millwrights and moved to Glasgow where he worked for the well-known shipbuilding firm of Napier's and was involved with improving marine engines. John was educated at Glasgow High School and then for a while at the Department of Civil Engineering at Glasgow University, where he showed great aptitude for mathematics and drawing. He spent five years as an apprentice under Robert Napier followed by two short periods of activity as a pattern-maker first and then a draughtsman in England. He returned to Scotland in 1849 to become Chief Draughtsman to Napier, but in 1852 he left to become a partner with the Glasgow general engineering company of Randolph Elliott \& Co. Shortly after his induction (at the age of 28), the engineering firm was renamed Randolph Elder \& Co.; in 1868, when the partnership expired, it became known as John Elder \& Co. From the outset Elder, with his partner, Charles Randolph, approached mechanical (especially heat) engineering in a rigorous manner. Their knowledge and understanding of entropy ensured that engine design was not a hit-and-miss affair, but one governed by recognition of the importance of the new kinetic theory of heat and with it a proper understanding of thermodynamic principles, and by systematic development. In this Elder was joined by W.J.M. Rankine, Professor of Civil Engineering and Mechanics at Glasgow University, who helped him develop the compound marine engine. Elder and Randolph built up a series of patents, which guaranteed their company's commercial success and enabled them for a while to be the sole suppliers of compound steam reciprocating machinery. Their first such engine at sea was fitted in 1854 on the SS Brandon for the Limerick Steamship Company; the ship showed an improved performance by using a third less coal, which he was able to reduce still further on later designs.
    Elder developed steam jacketing and recognized that, with higher pressures, triple-expansion types would be even more economical. In 1862 he patented a design of quadruple-expansion engine with reheat between cylinders and advocated the importance of balancing reciprocating parts. The effect of his improvements was to greatly reduce fuel consumption so that long sea voyages became an economic reality.
    His yard soon reached dimensions then unequalled on the Clyde where he employed over 4,000 workers; Elder also was always interested in the social welfare of his labour force. In 1860 the engine shops were moved to the Govan Old Shipyard, and again in 1864 to the Fairfield Shipyard, about 1 mile (1.6 km) west on the south bank of the Clyde. At Fairfield, shipbuilding was commenced, and with the patents for compounding secure, much business was placed for many years by shipowners serving long-distance trades such as South America; the Pacific Steam Navigation Company took up his ideas for their ships. In later years the yard became known as the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Ltd, but it remains today as one of Britain's most efficient shipyards and is known now as Kvaerner Govan Ltd.
    In 1869, at the age of only 45, John Elder was unanimously elected President of the Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland; however, before taking office and giving his eagerly awaited presidential address, he died in London from liver disease. A large multitude attended his funeral and all the engineering shops were silent as his body, which had been brought back from London to Glasgow, was carried to its resting place. In 1857 Elder had married Isabella Ure, and on his death he left her a considerable fortune, which she used generously for Govan, for Glasgow and especially the University. In 1883 she endowed the world's first Chair of Naval Architecture at the University of Glasgow, an act which was reciprocated in 1901 when the University awarded her an LLD on the occasion of its 450th anniversary.
