13 Artificial Intelligence
In my opinion, none of [these programs] does even remote justice to the complexity of human mental processes. Unlike men, "artificially intelligent" programs tend to be single minded, undistractable, and unemotional. (Neisser, 1967, p. 9)Future progress in [artificial intelligence] will depend on the development of both practical and theoretical knowledge.... As regards theoretical knowledge, some have sought a unified theory of artificial intelligence. My view is that artificial intelligence is (or soon will be) an engineering discipline since its primary goal is to build things. (Nilsson, 1971, pp. vii-viii)Most workers in AI [artificial intelligence] research and in related fields confess to a pronounced feeling of disappointment in what has been achieved in the last 25 years. Workers entered the field around 1950, and even around 1960, with high hopes that are very far from being realized in 1972. In no part of the field have the discoveries made so far produced the major impact that was then promised.... In the meantime, claims and predictions regarding the potential results of AI research had been publicized which went even farther than the expectations of the majority of workers in the field, whose embarrassments have been added to by the lamentable failure of such inflated predictions....When able and respected scientists write in letters to the present author that AI, the major goal of computing science, represents "another step in the general process of evolution"; that possibilities in the 1980s include an all-purpose intelligence on a human-scale knowledge base; that awe-inspiring possibilities suggest themselves based on machine intelligence exceeding human intelligence by the year 2000 [one has the right to be skeptical]. (Lighthill, 1972, p. 17)4) Just as Astronomy Succeeded Astrology, the Discovery of Intellectual Processes in Machines Should Lead to a Science, EventuallyJust as astronomy succeeded astrology, following Kepler's discovery of planetary regularities, the discoveries of these many principles in empirical explorations on intellectual processes in machines should lead to a science, eventually. (Minsky & Papert, 1973, p. 11)5) Problems in Machine Intelligence Arise Because Things Obvious to Any Person Are Not Represented in the ProgramMany problems arise in experiments on machine intelligence because things obvious to any person are not represented in any program. One can pull with a string, but one cannot push with one.... Simple facts like these caused serious problems when Charniak attempted to extend Bobrow's "Student" program to more realistic applications, and they have not been faced up to until now. (Minsky & Papert, 1973, p. 77)What do we mean by [a symbolic] "description"? We do not mean to suggest that our descriptions must be made of strings of ordinary language words (although they might be). The simplest kind of description is a structure in which some features of a situation are represented by single ("primitive") symbols, and relations between those features are represented by other symbols-or by other features of the way the description is put together. (Minsky & Papert, 1973, p. 11)[AI is] the use of computer programs and programming techniques to cast light on the principles of intelligence in general and human thought in particular. (Boden, 1977, p. 5)The word you look for and hardly ever see in the early AI literature is the word knowledge. They didn't believe you have to know anything, you could always rework it all.... In fact 1967 is the turning point in my mind when there was enough feeling that the old ideas of general principles had to go.... I came up with an argument for what I called the primacy of expertise, and at the time I called the other guys the generalists. (Moses, quoted in McCorduck, 1979, pp. 228-229)9) Artificial Intelligence Is Psychology in a Particularly Pure and Abstract FormThe basic idea of cognitive science is that intelligent beings are semantic engines-in other words, automatic formal systems with interpretations under which they consistently make sense. We can now see why this includes psychology and artificial intelligence on a more or less equal footing: people and intelligent computers (if and when there are any) turn out to be merely different manifestations of the same underlying phenomenon. Moreover, with universal hardware, any semantic engine can in principle be formally imitated by a computer if only the right program can be found. And that will guarantee semantic imitation as well, since (given the appropriate formal behavior) the semantics is "taking care of itself" anyway. Thus we also see why, from this perspective, artificial intelligence can be regarded as psychology in a particularly pure and abstract form. The same fundamental structures are under investigation, but in AI, all the relevant parameters are under direct experimental control (in the programming), without any messy physiology or ethics to get in the way. (Haugeland, 1981b, p. 31)There are many different kinds of reasoning one might imagine:Formal reasoning involves the syntactic manipulation of data structures to deduce new ones following prespecified rules of inference. Mathematical logic is the archetypical formal representation. Procedural reasoning uses simulation to answer questions and solve problems. When we use a program to answer What is the sum of 3 and 4? it uses, or "runs," a procedural model of arithmetic. Reasoning by analogy seems to be a very natural mode of thought for humans but, so far, difficult to accomplish in AI programs. The idea is that when you ask the question Can robins fly? the system might reason that "robins are like sparrows, and I know that sparrows can fly, so robins probably can fly."Generalization and abstraction are also natural reasoning process for humans that are difficult to pin down well enough to implement in a program. If one knows that Robins have wings, that Sparrows have wings, and that Blue jays have wings, eventually one will believe that All birds have wings. This capability may be at the core of most human learning, but it has not yet become a useful technique in AI.... Meta- level reasoning is demonstrated by the way one answers the question What is Paul Newman's telephone number? You might reason that "if I knew Paul Newman's number, I would know that I knew it, because it is a notable fact." This involves using "knowledge about what you know," in particular, about the extent of your knowledge and about the importance of certain facts. Recent research in psychology and AI indicates that meta-level reasoning may play a central role in human cognitive processing. (Barr & Feigenbaum, 1981, pp. 146-147)Suffice it to say that programs already exist that can do things-or, at the very least, appear to be beginning to do things-which ill-informed critics have asserted a priori to be impossible. Examples include: perceiving in a holistic as opposed to an atomistic way; using language creatively; translating sensibly from one language to another by way of a language-neutral semantic representation; planning acts in a broad and sketchy fashion, the details being decided only in execution; distinguishing between different species of emotional reaction according to the psychological context of the subject. (Boden, 1981, p. 33)Can the synthesis of Man and Machine ever be stable, or will the purely organic component become such a hindrance that it has to be discarded? If this eventually happens-and I have... good reasons for thinking that it must-we have nothing to regret and certainly nothing to fear. (Clarke, 1984, p. 243)The thesis of GOFAI... is not that the processes underlying intelligence can be described symbolically... but that they are symbolic. (Haugeland, 1985, p. 113)14) Artificial Intelligence Provides a Useful Approach to Psychological and Psychiatric Theory FormationIt is all very well formulating psychological and psychiatric theories verbally but, when using natural language (even technical jargon), it is difficult to recognise when a theory is complete; oversights are all too easily made, gaps too readily left. This is a point which is generally recognised to be true and it is for precisely this reason that the behavioural sciences attempt to follow the natural sciences in using "classical" mathematics as a more rigorous descriptive language. However, it is an unfortunate fact that, with a few notable exceptions, there has been a marked lack of success in this application. It is my belief that a different approach-a different mathematics-is needed, and that AI provides just this approach. (Hand, quoted in Hand, 1985, pp. 6-7)We might distinguish among four kinds of AI.Research of this kind involves building and programming computers to perform tasks which, to paraphrase Marvin Minsky, would require intelligence if they were done by us. Researchers in nonpsychological AI make no claims whatsoever about the psychological realism of their programs or the devices they build, that is, about whether or not computers perform tasks as humans do.Research here is guided by the view that the computer is a useful tool in the study of mind. In particular, we can write computer programs or build devices that simulate alleged psychological processes in humans and then test our predictions about how the alleged processes work. We can weave these programs and devices together with other programs and devices that simulate different alleged mental processes and thereby test the degree to which the AI system as a whole simulates human mentality. According to weak psychological AI, working with computer models is a way of refining and testing hypotheses about processes that are allegedly realized in human minds.... According to this view, our minds are computers and therefore can be duplicated by other computers. Sherry Turkle writes that the "real ambition is of mythic proportions, making a general purpose intelligence, a mind." (Turkle, 1984, p. 240) The authors of a major text announce that "the ultimate goal of AI research is to build a person or, more humbly, an animal." (Charniak & McDermott, 1985, p. 7)Research in this field, like strong psychological AI, takes seriously the functionalist view that mentality can be realized in many different types of physical devices. Suprapsychological AI, however, accuses strong psychological AI of being chauvinisticof being only interested in human intelligence! Suprapsychological AI claims to be interested in all the conceivable ways intelligence can be realized. (Flanagan, 1991, pp. 241-242)16) Determination of Relevance of Rules in Particular ContextsEven if the [rules] were stored in a context-free form the computer still couldn't use them. To do that the computer requires rules enabling it to draw on just those [ rules] which are relevant in each particular context. Determination of relevance will have to be based on further facts and rules, but the question will again arise as to which facts and rules are relevant for making each particular determination. One could always invoke further facts and rules to answer this question, but of course these must be only the relevant ones. And so it goes. It seems that AI workers will never be able to get started here unless they can settle the problem of relevance beforehand by cataloguing types of context and listing just those facts which are relevant in each. (Dreyfus & Dreyfus, 1986, p. 80)Perhaps the single most important idea to artificial intelligence is that there is no fundamental difference between form and content, that meaning can be captured in a set of symbols such as a semantic net. (G. Johnson, 1986, p. 250)Artificial intelligence is based on the assumption that the mind can be described as some kind of formal system manipulating symbols that stand for things in the world. Thus it doesn't matter what the brain is made of, or what it uses for tokens in the great game of thinking. Using an equivalent set of tokens and rules, we can do thinking with a digital computer, just as we can play chess using cups, salt and pepper shakers, knives, forks, and spoons. Using the right software, one system (the mind) can be mapped into the other (the computer). (G. Johnson, 1986, p. 250)19) A Statement of the Primary and Secondary Purposes of Artificial IntelligenceThe primary goal of Artificial Intelligence is to make machines smarter.The secondary goals of Artificial Intelligence are to understand what intelligence is (the Nobel laureate purpose) and to make machines more useful (the entrepreneurial purpose). (Winston, 1987, p. 1)The theoretical ideas of older branches of engineering are captured in the language of mathematics. We contend that mathematical logic provides the basis for theory in AI. Although many computer scientists already count logic as fundamental to computer science in general, we put forward an even stronger form of the logic-is-important argument....AI deals mainly with the problem of representing and using declarative (as opposed to procedural) knowledge. Declarative knowledge is the kind that is expressed as sentences, and AI needs a language in which to state these sentences. Because the languages in which this knowledge usually is originally captured (natural languages such as English) are not suitable for computer representations, some other language with the appropriate properties must be used. It turns out, we think, that the appropriate properties include at least those that have been uppermost in the minds of logicians in their development of logical languages such as the predicate calculus. Thus, we think that any language for expressing knowledge in AI systems must be at least as expressive as the first-order predicate calculus. (Genesereth & Nilsson, 1987, p. viii)21) Perceptual Structures Can Be Represented as Lists of Elementary PropositionsIn artificial intelligence studies, perceptual structures are represented as assemblages of description lists, the elementary components of which are propositions asserting that certain relations hold among elements. (Chase & Simon, 1988, p. 490)Artificial intelligence (AI) is sometimes defined as the study of how to build and/or program computers to enable them to do the sorts of things that minds can do. Some of these things are commonly regarded as requiring intelligence: offering a medical diagnosis and/or prescription, giving legal or scientific advice, proving theorems in logic or mathematics. Others are not, because they can be done by all normal adults irrespective of educational background (and sometimes by non-human animals too), and typically involve no conscious control: seeing things in sunlight and shadows, finding a path through cluttered terrain, fitting pegs into holes, speaking one's own native tongue, and using one's common sense. Because it covers AI research dealing with both these classes of mental capacity, this definition is preferable to one describing AI as making computers do "things that would require intelligence if done by people." However, it presupposes that computers could do what minds can do, that they might really diagnose, advise, infer, and understand. One could avoid this problematic assumption (and also side-step questions about whether computers do things in the same way as we do) by defining AI instead as "the development of computers whose observable performance has features which in humans we would attribute to mental processes." This bland characterization would be acceptable to some AI workers, especially amongst those focusing on the production of technological tools for commercial purposes. But many others would favour a more controversial definition, seeing AI as the science of intelligence in general-or, more accurately, as the intellectual core of cognitive science. As such, its goal is to provide a systematic theory that can explain (and perhaps enable us to replicate) both the general categories of intentionality and the diverse psychological capacities grounded in them. (Boden, 1990b, pp. 1-2)Because the ability to store data somewhat corresponds to what we call memory in human beings, and because the ability to follow logical procedures somewhat corresponds to what we call reasoning in human beings, many members of the cult have concluded that what computers do somewhat corresponds to what we call thinking. It is no great difficulty to persuade the general public of that conclusion since computers process data very fast in small spaces well below the level of visibility; they do not look like other machines when they are at work. They seem to be running along as smoothly and silently as the brain does when it remembers and reasons and thinks. On the other hand, those who design and build computers know exactly how the machines are working down in the hidden depths of their semiconductors. Computers can be taken apart, scrutinized, and put back together. Their activities can be tracked, analyzed, measured, and thus clearly understood-which is far from possible with the brain. This gives rise to the tempting assumption on the part of the builders and designers that computers can tell us something about brains, indeed, that the computer can serve as a model of the mind, which then comes to be seen as some manner of information processing machine, and possibly not as good at the job as the machine. (Roszak, 1994, pp. xiv-xv)The inner workings of the human mind are far more intricate than the most complicated systems of modern technology. Researchers in the field of artificial intelligence have been attempting to develop programs that will enable computers to display intelligent behavior. Although this field has been an active one for more than thirty-five years and has had many notable successes, AI researchers still do not know how to create a program that matches human intelligence. No existing program can recall facts, solve problems, reason, learn, and process language with human facility. This lack of success has occurred not because computers are inferior to human brains but rather because we do not yet know in sufficient detail how intelligence is organized in the brain.

16 foreign words and phrases
•• Начну с цитаты из книги Success with Words, выпущенной в 1983 году журналом Reader’s Digest: English is a hybrid language dependent on a multitude of borrowings from many sources for its enormous vocabulary and unique richness of connotation. В отличие от французов и русских, англичане и американцы не впадают в панику, когда их язык заимствует новое слово из французского, русского или любого другого языка, не борются «за чистоту родной речи». Автор книги English As A Global Language Дейвид Кристал пишет: English is a kind of vacuum cleaner of language – it sucks in vocabulary from any language it can get. Помимо тысяч и тысяч слов, полностью ассимилированных английским, немало и таких, которые по-прежнему ощущаются как иностранные, но тем не менее понятны любому культурному англосаксу. Иногда они пишутся курсивом, иногда никак не выделяются. В наших учебных заведениях их обычно «не проходят». Поэтому я решил собрать в отдельную словарную статью те из них, что наиболее, на мой взгляд, употребительны и заслуживают внимания в том числе и устного переводчика. Список, конечно, субъективный, но некоторое представление об «иностранных штучках», которые сплошь и рядом встречаются в письменных текстах и могут встретиться в устной речи, он дает.
•• О транскрипции. Она во многом условна, ведь встречается самое разное произношение иностранных слов. Предлагаемые варианты не всегда идеальны с точки зрения языка происхождения, но их можно считать принятыми в речи образованных носителей английского языка.
•• Начнем, как говорил Пушкин, ab ovo, то есть в данном случае с латыни. И хотя поэт давно сказал, что «латынь из моды вышла ныне», в англоязычном мире латынь – всюду. Кстати, обратим внимание, что в современном английском языке наметилась тенденция – произносить латинские слова и выражения в соответствии с правилами английского произношения. Например, bona fides (i произносится как в открытом слоге).
•• ad hoc - вариантов перевода этого словосочетания очень много: специальный ( ad hoc committee в международных организациях – специальный комитет), специализированный, несистемный, для данного случая, особый, даже импровизированный. Характерно употребление этого слова в негативном, «критическом» значении. Пример из Webster’s Third New International Dictionary: a coordinated policy instead of ad hoc decisions. Нельзя, однако, согласиться с переводом, предлагаемым в Новом БАРСе, ad hoc hypothesis – произвольная (надуманная) гипотеза. Такое значение – чисто контекстуальное;
•• ad hominem - чаще всего в словосочетании ad hominem arguments. Имеется в виду, что вместо разумных аргументов говорящий «переходит на личности»;
•• a fortiori - тем более;
•• a priori , a posteriori - в переводе эти выражения в общем-то не нуждаются. Кстати, в английской речи они встречаются не так часто, как в речи образованных русских. Произносятся примерно так же, как у нас. Означают в реальном употреблении что-то вроде на первый взгляд и задним числом;
•• alma mater , alumna , alumnus - словосочетание alma mater хорошо известно у нас, а слово alumnus и все, что с ним связано, – гораздо меньше. В переводе с латыни alma mater – вскармливающая мать, или просто кормилица. Смысл метафоры – университет дает человеку пищу для ума. Alumnus – воспитанник, ею вскормленный (женский род – alumna). Множественное число от мужского рода – alumni, от женского – alumnae. Американцы очень любят поговорить на эти темы, поддерживают связь с университетами, в которых они учились, через Alumni Associations – ассоциации выпускников и, что самое главное в Америке, оказывают своим университетам материальную помощь. Как писал А.П.Чехов своему брату, «если действительно хочешь кому-нибудь помочь, помоги материально»;
•• bona fide - добросовестный, добросовестно. Часто употребляется и как существительное в форме bona fides – надежность. I wanted to prove my bona fides. – Я хотел доказать, что мне можно доверять. ...new democracies eager to assert their bona fides as members of the democratic community (Wall Street Journal). – ...новые демократии, которым не терпится доказать, что они достойны войти в сообщество демократических государств;
•• caveat , caveat emptor - чаще всего употребляется лишь первое слово, в широком значении предостережения. Let me add one caveat означает примерно Только обязательно учтите... caveat emptor, то есть buyer beware означает, что магазин не дает каких-либо гарантий товара, он продается as is (т.е., возможно, с небольшими дефектами). На таких условиях продают, например, floor samples (образцы из демонстрационного зала) в магазинах мебели или аудио/видеотехники;
•• cum laude - с отличием. Есть три степени отличия при окончании университета: cum laude, magna cum laude и summa cum laude. Третье – самое высокое отличие. Употребляется так: She graduated summa cum laude from Stanford;
•• curriculum vitae (CV) - примерно то же самое, что résumé . По-русски – краткие биографические данные, сведения о прежних местах работы. Подробно о резюме см. в книге «Мир перевода-1» (изд-во «Р.Валент»);
•• e pluribus unum - из множества – одно, единство в многообразии. Национальный лозунг США. Однако на долларовых купюрах все-таки другой лозунг – In God we trust;
•• Ibid , ibidem - там же (в сносках, ссылках, дающихся в научных трудах, статьях);
•• inter alia - помимо прочего, в том числе;
•• mutatis mutandis - с учетом необходимых изменений;
•• nolo contendere - то же самое, что и no contest. В американской судебной системе обвиняемый в ходе следствия или судебного заседания должен сделать заявление о своей виновности или невиновности (plea). Он должен выбрать между guilty, not guilty и nolo contendere, т.е. не оспариваю. В зависимости от того, насколько убедительно обвинение, обвиняемый (или его адвокат) может попытаться смягчить будущий приговор, признав или не оспаривая свою вину по менее жесткой статье уголовного кодекса (plead guilty/no contest to a lesser charge). Нередко это является предметом активных закулисных переговоров между обвинением и защитой (plea bargaining);
•• per se - как таковой;
•• prima facie - на первый взгляд. Употребляется в основном в юридической сфере: prima facie evidence – достаточно достоверные (для обвинения) доказательства;
•• quid pro quo - как у нас иногда (в просторечии) говорят, дашь на дашь. Употребляется чаще всего в таких контекстах: What is the quid pro quo? – Что мы за это получим? (т.е. в обмен на нашу услугу, уступку). I am proposing a quid pro quo. – Предлагаю сделку (компромисс) / Предлагаю пойти навстречу друг другу;
•• sine die - на неопределенный срок. Пример: to adjourn sine die – закрыть заседание, не назначая дату следующего;
•• sine qua non - употребляется часто как сложное существительное: this is a sine qua non – это обязательное условие;
•• sui generis - сам/само по себе;
•• Несколько полезных выражений французского происхождения (мода на них не проходит, а иногда вспыхивает с еще большей силой, поэтому совсем не знающим французского стоит выучить хотя бы какой-то минимум):
•• à la carte - по выбору из меню (в отличие от комплексного обеда – prix fixe dinner или в Америке, как ни странно, просто menu – dinner menu, lunch menu);
•• amour-propre - самолюбие. Заполняет определенную лакуну в английском языке. Конечно, это понятие можно выразить различными способами, но существительного, сжато выражающего это понятие, нет ( self-esteem все-таки скорее чувство собственного достоинства);
•• bête-noire - предмет ненависти. X is his bête-noire. – Он ненавидит такого-то (если сказать He hates X, то будет слабее: Он его терпеть не может);
•• bon voyage - говорят не реже, чем have a good trip или have a safe trip. Счастливого пути!
•• carte blanche - по-русски тоже иногда говорят карт-бланш, т.е. безусловные полномочия, разрешение на использование любых средств. Синоним – license;
•• coup de grâce - завершающий (добивающий) удар. Не путать с контрольным выстрелом (finishing shot) из практики русских киллеров. Coup de grâce делается для того, чтобы прекратить мучения погибающего, а не «для верности»;
•• déjà vu - для знающих французский американское произношение этого выражения звучит диковато, особенно , но в Англии и Америке его любят. Оно означает это не ново, все это уже было (см. интересный пример словоупотребления в статье bitter). Сейчас в моду вошло выражение been there, done that, примерно в том же значении;
•• de rigueur - обязательный, требуемый этикетом или нормой. Заполняет лакуну в английском языке. Пример из журнала New Yorker:...the vaguely leftist attitudes that were de rigueur for sixties social scientists. – ...левизна, считавшаяся в шестидесятые годы обязательной для социологов. См. в русской части словаря слово обязательно;
•• enfant terrible - несносный ребенок, «неудобный» человек;
•• fait accompli - свершившийся факт. Иногда употребляют английский вариант established fact, но чаще – французский;
•• faute de mieux - за неимением лучшего;
•• faux pas - неудачный шаг, необдуманное решение (как правило, без катастрофических последствий);
•• laisser-faire - см. статью liberal, liberalism, laissez-faire;
•• nom de guerre , nom de plume - псевдоним (во втором случае относится к писателям);
•• nouveau riche - нувориш, неожиданно разбогатевший человек;
•• par excellence - в высшей степени. He is a gentleman par excellence. - Он – воплощение джентльменства (употребляется очень часто; синонимично слову ultimate в таком, например, контексте: He is the ultimate deal-maker);
•• pièce de résistance - главное блюдо; в переносном смысле – главное событие;
•• pied-à-terre - пристанище, «площадка», второй дом (часто небольшая квартира в городе у человека, имеющего основное жилье в другом месте);
•• prêt-à-porter - готовое платье. В отличие от haute couture - одежда, сшитая в единственном экземпляре или в очень ограниченном количестве (так называемая « высокая мода») и made to order/measure (одежда, сшитая на заказ). Кстати, у последнего есть слегка устаревший, но по-прежнему встречающийся синоним bespoke (a bespoke suit);
•• raison d’être - смысл (причина) существования; оправдание/обоснование чего-либо;
•• roman à clef - произведение, в котором за персонажами легко угадываются реальные лица; «роман-намек»;
•• tête-à-tête - один на один, лицом к лицу. В дипломатической практике употребляют также выражение one on one/one to one;
•• tour de force - проявление силы, яркое проявление способностей. Часто говорится о блестящем выступлении музыканта, работе художника и т.п.
•• Немецкие заимствования не так часты, как французские, но среди них есть довольно важные, которые нужно знать.
•• - fest - не слово, а суффикс, который, как оказалось, легко сочетается с односложными английскими словами. Помню заголовок в газете Daily News после теледебатов двух кандидатов в президенты: A Slugfest . Это можно перевести как обмен ударами. Интересно, что этого слова как бы не существует – оно отсутствует даже в Новом БАРСе. Но вот свежий пример: Absent compelling national themes, Campaign ‘98 will be a race-by-race slugfest (Business Week). – Если не появится серьезных общенациональных тем, предвыборная кампания 1998 года выльется в жесткую борьбу за каждое место в Конгрессе. О двух людях, помирившихся после долгой ссоры, говорят: Their meeting was a lovefest . – Это были сплошные взаимные объятия. В смысловой основе этого суффикса сохранилось значение фестиваль, праздник. Отсюда, например, songfest - праздник песни;
•• glitch - поломка, техническая неисправность, неожиданная трудность;
•• katzenjammer - перепой, похмелье; какофония, неразбериха;
•• kitsch - китч. В английском словоупотреблении относится не только к массовому псевдоискусству, но и разного рода барахлу (junk), которым переполнены магазины для туристов;
•• spiel - словари предлагают довольно разнообразный набор переводов – болтовня, разглагольствование, заговаривание зубов, жалобы, реклама и т.д. В глубинном значении этого слова – смысловой компонент стандартности, назойливости: He gave me his usual spiel about investment opportunities in Thailand. – Он, как обычно, долго и нудно рассказывал мне о том, как выгодно можно вложить деньги в Таиланде;
•• verboten - казалось бы, зачем это немецкое слово, когда в английском языке есть множество выражений, обозначающих запрет? Тут и banned, и prohibited, и taboo, и out of the question, и no-no. Но verboten выражает ироническое, скептическое отношение к запрету. Пример из Time: [Bob] says he took the pictures... never realizing it was verboten (в заметке о том, как имеющая скандальную славу фигуристка Тоня Хардинг продала право на фотографирование своей свадьбы бульварному журналу);
•• weltanschauung - мировоззрение. Одно из немецких слов, которые нужно знать и не владеющим немецким языком;
•• zeitgeist - дословно дух времени, в переносном смысле – модное, актуальное в данный момент, «у всех на устах». Вошло в моду в журналистике в 1990-е годы.
•• Испанские слова и выражения проникали в английский язык несколькими волнами. Сейчас в США растет число эмигрантов из Латинской и Центральной Америки – или, как их называют в США, Hispanics. В Нью-Йорке, Хьюстоне, Лос-Анджелесе и других местах их скопления слова, приведенные ниже, понятны большинству людей.
•• aficionado - любитель, болельщик;
•• bodega - винный погребок, бар;
•• chicano - американец мексиканского происхождения;
•• desperado - псевдоиспанское слово: разбойник, сорвиголова, отчаянный/конченый человек;
•• fiesta - после знаменитого романа Хемингуэя это слово и у нас в переводе не нуждается;
•• hacienda - по-русски гасиенда. То же самое, что фазенда (см. известные сериалы);
•• incommunicado : to hold someone incommunicado – держать в изоляции. Тоже псевдоиспанский: в испанском языке это слово пишется с одним m;
•• macho - имеет два значения: подчеркнуто мужественный (Al Pacino might be the original lovable macho – Boston Globe) и агрессивный, жесткий, как сказали бы сейчас – крутой (Khrushchev had to put on this big macho act – слова Ричарда Никсона);
•• patio - внутренний дворик;
•• pronto - мигом, немедленно;
•• sierra - горы, горная местность. Интересно, что одна из крупнейших американских экологических организаций называется Sierra Club;
•• taco , tortilla - в последние лет десять-пятнадцать мексиканская кухня вошла в моду в США, особенно в заведениях быстрого обслуживания (fast food restaurants). Особенно популярны тако – пирожки (tacos) и тортилья – лепешки (tortillas), сделанные из бездрожжевой кукурузной муки;
•• vigilante - переводы, предлагаемые в Новом БАРСе (член «комитета бдительности») и в Oxford Russian Dictionary ( дружинник), следует признать неудачными. Типичный vigilante – герой многих фильмов с участием Чарлза Бронсона (настоящая фамилия – Buchinsky). Это человек, берущий закон в свои руки.
•• Наконец, несколько примеров проникновения в английский язык (в основном, хотя и не только, в нью-йоркский его вариант) слов из языка идиш, на котором говорили многие иммигранты из Восточной Европы, появившиеся в Америке в первые десятилетия ХХ века. Сейчас этот язык исчезает (в Израиле говорят на иврите, осовремененном древнееврейском языке, в то время как идиш происходит от одного из диалектов верхненемецкого языка), но следы его остаются, разнообразя экспрессивные возможности американцев.
•• bagel - мягкий бублик;
•• chutzpah - нахальство, наглость. Заполняет лакуну в английской лексике (такие значения, как наглость, предельная степень самоуверенности, непросто выразить обычными средствами языка в сжатом виде);
•• kibbutz - в Израиле что-то вроде колхоза. Говорят, не очень эффективно, но, как оказалось, жизнеспособно (пока, во всяком случае);
•• kibitz - болтать, «трепаться» или давать «советы постороннего» (то же самое, что backseat driving – так говорят о советах, от которых может быть больше вреда, чем пользы). Не путать со следующим словом;
•• kosher - кошерный (т.е. соответствующий традиционным для верующих евреев правилам приготовления пищи). В переносном смысле употребляется в значении приемлемый, соответствующий правилам. Not quite kosher. – Что-то тут нечисто;
•• - nik - популярный, особенно лет двадцать назад, суффикс (в идиш он пришел из русского). Вспомним: beatnik, refusenik и т.п.;
•• schlemiel - неудачник, человек, у которого все валится из рук;
•• schlock - халтура;
•• schmaltz , schmaltzy - дешевая сентиментальность; слащавый;
•• schmuck - это довольно распространенное заимствование из идиш может содержать очень разный эмоциональный и оценочный заряд, от которого зависит перевод. Если, скажем, отец говорит сыну (любя и без зла) You little schmuck, то это, пожалуй, Ах ты, паршивец! А слова бизнесмена о недобросовестном партнере He’s a real schmuck. – Он просто мерзавец. Есть и еще одно, распространенное русское слово, которое подошло бы в обоих случаях, но для меня оно остается непечатным;
•• shtick - обычно говорится о художественных или исполнительских способностях примерно на уровне нашей самодеятельности. After drinks, Bill did his impersonation shtick. – После коктейля Билл развлекал нас своими пародиями на знаменитостей.
•• Забавное итальянское слово:
•• cognoscenti - знатоки (употребляется в основном с ироническим оттенком, а не как книжное слово, как не совсем точно утверждается в Новом БАРСе). Пример из текущей публицистики: The couch cognoscenti will hardly notice; and they certainly won’t care (Chris Floyd). – Знатоки, часами сидящие у телевизоров, вряд ли заметят это – и наверняка не расстроятся;
•• literati - скорее из латыни, чем из итальянского. Тоже ироничное, по-русски можно было бы сказать литературный бомонд. Отсюда придуманное слово glitterati - просто бомонд.
•• * Известный преподаватель и переводчик, когда-то учивший меня на курсах переводчиков ООН, Никита Григорьевич Санников обратил мое внимание на то, что в соответствующей статье «Моего несистематического словаря» не хватает рекомендаций по переводу, в частности слов и выражений на латыни. Он разрешил мне воспользоваться классификацией и примерами, приведенными в его замечательной брошюре «Английское контрактное право», изданной, к сожалению, мизерным тиражом.
•• Итак, возможны три основных варианта передачи латинских вкраплений: заимствование путем транслитерации, перевод наравне с исконными английскими словосочетаниями и перенос в русский текст на латинице.
•• Первая группа немногочисленна:
•• alma mater - альма-матер;
•• de facto - де-факто;
•• de jure - де-юре;
•• modus vivendi - модус вивенди, и некоторые другие.
•• Интересно, что в этом случае латинские словосочетания иногда приобретают в русском языке значения, отличные от буквального перевода исходного латинского оборота. Так, modus vivendi, согласно Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online: a feasible arrangement or practical compromise; especially: one that bypasses difficulties. Примерно то же самое и в русском языке. Alma mater, как и в русском языке, не «кормящая мать», а school, college, or university which one has attended or from which one has graduated (в английском есть и второе значение: the song or hymn of a school, college, or university).
•• Гораздо многочисленнее категория оборотов, которые должны переводиться на русский так же, как и исконные английские слова. Это, во-первых, сокращения:
•• A.D. ( anno Domini) - нашей эры;
•• p.m. ( post meridium) – в зависимости от контекста переводится как <...> часов дня или вечера, встречается и старинное пополудни;
•• e.g. ( exempli gratia, хотя читается по-английски: for instance/ example) - например;
•• i.e. ( id est, читается that is) - то есть;
•• viz. ( videlicet, читается namely) - а именно;
•• cf. ( confer, читается compare) - ср. ( сравнить).
•• Далее, обязательно переводятся на русский язык слова, которые являются общепринятым способом выражения определенных понятий или обозначения предметов и явлений (тот случай, когда русский язык удержался от заимствования, а английский – нет):
•• corrigenda ( errata) - список опечаток;
•• dramatis personae - действующие лица;
•• exit ( exeunt) - уходит ( уходят) – ремарка в пьесах;
•• per capita - на душу населения;
•• per diem - суточные.
•• Наконец, это обороты, которые получили широкое распространение как характерные для того или иного стиля синонимы английских словосочетаний:
•• ad nauseam ( to a disgusting extent) - до тошноты;
•• inter alia ( among other things) - в том числе, среди прочего;
•• vice versa ( the other way round) - наоборот;
•• per se ( of itself) - сам по себе, как таковой;
•• sine die ( indefinitely) - на неопределенный срок.
•• В чтении по-английски названий судебных дел нет твердых правил. Иногда это зависит от традиции, сложившейся в отношении того или иного известного дела. Например, Brown v./vs. (т.е. versus) the Board of Education – рассмотренное Верховным судом США дело, решение по которому положило конец сегрегации в американских школах, обычно читается как Brown and или against the Board of Education. Другое «рубежное» дело (решенное Судом в пользу разрешения абортов) – Roe v. Wade обычно читается как Roe versus (но иногда просто по первой букве – v.) Wade. В названиях дел первым всегда указывается истец ( plaintiff), затем – ответчик (defendant).
•• Третья категория – слова, выражения и фразы, которые воспроизводятся в тексте перевода на латинице (ad referendum, pacta sunt servanda, rebus sic stantibus, prima facie), но это происходит в основном при переводе научных текстов, как правило, из области права. Перевод этих оборотов обычно не приводится, так как предполагается, что специалисту известно, о чем речь (хотя бы приблизительно). Тем, кто не хочет полагаться на приблизительное знание, советую обратиться к хорошему словарю. Самый полный из них – «Латинско-русский словарь юридических терминов и выражений» М. Гамзатова (подробнее о нем см. в Приложении).
•• Заодно хотелось бы дать небольшое уточнение: в «Моем несистематическом словаре» sui generis предлагается переводить как сам по себе. Такой перевод иногда возможен, но более корректен вариант единственный в своем роде. На это обратил мое внимание коллега, работающий в Международном комитете Красного Креста, который (в своих английских и французских текстах) именует себя организацией sui generis, имея в виду, что он ни на кого не похож – это не межправительственная и не неправительственная организация. По-русски – организация, единственная в своем роде.
