    ASSOCIATIONS AND IMAGERY:
    Любовь в английском сознании воспринимается как слабость, как падение куда-либо. Впечатление, которое производит любимый человек, подобно удару или нокауту, что видно из следующих выражений: Just looking at him makes me go weak at the knees. Один взгляд на него вызывает у меня слабость в ногах. /От одного взгляда на него у меня колени дрожат. I fell for Molly in a big way. Я серьезно втюрился в Молли. Do you remember the first time you fell in love. Ты помнишь, когда/как ты влюбился в первый раз? I'd never met anyone like Jack - he just swept me off my feet. Я никогда не встречала такого человека как Джек - он меня просто сразил наповал. She has a crush on him. Она втюрилась в него. I was bowled over by his charm and good looks. Я была просто сражена его красотой и обаянием. Anyone can see they are head over heels in love. Любому видно, что они по уши влюблены. That girl is an absolute knock out. Эта девчонка полный отпад. He's drop-dead gorgeous. Он убийственно красив. He's always had a bit of a weakness for brunettes. Он всегда был неравнодушен к брюнеткам. /У него слабость к брюнеткам. Ассоциации также могут быть связаны с состоянием невмеяемости: He is mad about her. Он по ней с ума сходит. It's surprising but dad is crazy about Mom. Удивительно, но мой отец до сих пор с ума сходит по маме/безумно влюблен в маму. Сексуальная любовь ассоциируется с огнем или жаром: I bumped into an old flame yesterday. Вчера я столкнулся со своей бывшей пассией. It was a fiery passionate relationship. Мы оба сгорали от страсти. His eyes burned with desire. В глазах его горел огонь желания. His touch inflamed her senses. От его прикосновения ее бросило в жар. She gave him a smouldering look. Она бросила не него испепеляющий взгляд. /От ее взгляда от него буквально дым пошел. The movie includes some steamy sex scenes. В этом фильме есть несколько весьма страстных сексуальных сцен/таких сцен, что дым коромыслом. Sare felt herself melting into his arms. Сара почувствовала, что просто тает в его объятиях

  • 19 εἰρήνη

    Grammatical information: f.
    Meaning: `peace, time of peace' (Il.), cf. Trümpy Fachausdrücke 183ff., later `peace-treaty', in the LXX also `(wish) of blessing' as Hebraism (Wackernagel IF 31, 263f. = Kl. Schr. 2, 1240f.); as name of a goddess daughter of Zeus and Themis (Hes.).
    Other forms: ἰράνα (Dor., Boeot., Arc. etc.), also ἰρήνα (Gort. IIa: χ[ἱ]ρήνας gen.; asp. sec.), ἰρείνα Thess.), εἰρήνα (Delph. IVa, Pi., B.), εἰράνα (NWGgr. etc.), εἴρηνᾰ (Aeol., gramm.), Εἰρήνα, - άνη (EN, Lycia)
    Compounds: As 1. member in εἰρηνο-ποιός (X.) a. o.
    Derivatives: εἰρηναῖος `peaceful' (Hdt.), εἰρηνικός `belonging to peace' (Att. hell.; after πολεμικός; Chantraine, Études sur le vocab. grec 151); denomin. verb εἰρηνεύω `keep peace, live in peace' (Pl.) with εἰρήνευσις (Iamb.), εἰρηνέω `id.' (Arist., after πολεμέω). - On the Lacon. PN Ϝειράνα s. Kretschmer Glotta 7, 332, Bechtel Άντίδωρον 155.
    Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
    Etymology: The many dialect forms cannot be combined under one form but must be loans with incomplete adaptation (Leumann Hom. Wörter 277 w. n. 27). The original anlaut is perh. after a hesitating suggestion of Wackernagel IF 25, 327 n. 1 (Kl. Schr. 1023 a. 1) a in Ionic and elsewhere pronounced open ἰ̄ρ-, which was in Attic first rendered by ἐ-, later by εἰρ-; the Attic orthography became dominant. The meaning of - ρήνη, -ρά̄νᾱ etc. is uncertain; cf. Schwyzer 189. - No etymology; Pre-Greek origin is very prob. already because of the ending ( Άθήνη, Μυκήνη etc.); thus e. g. Chantraine Formation 206). - Further see Brugmann and Keil Sächs. Ber. 68: 3, 4 (1916); Kretschmer Glotta 10, 238f.; further Trümpy l.c.
