1 New York City

[ˏnju:ˊjɔ:rksɪtɪ] г. Нью-Йорк, крупнейший город США — 7,3 млн. жителей ( без пригородов). Прозвища: «большое яблоко» [*Big Apple], «имперский город» [*Empire City], «город развлечений» [*Fun City]. Житель: ньюйоркец [New Yorker]. Ассоциации: Манхаттан, Бродвей, Статуя Свободы, Уолл-стрит, штаб-квартира ООН, Бруклин, Брайтон-Бич и др. Хотя формально Нью-Йорк состоит из пяти районов: Манхаттан [*Manhattan], Куинс [*Queens], Бруклин [*Brooklyn], Бронкс [*Bronx] и Ричмонд/Статен-Айленд [Richmond II/*Staten Island], каждый житель Нью-Йорка считает, что центром города, его «сити», является Манхаттан. Напр., жители Флашинга [Flushing] в Куинсе говорят о поездке «в город» [to the city], имея в виду Манхаттан. Некоторые жители Бруклина годами не пересекают Ист-Ривер [*East River] и считают, что они живут в относительно тихом городке вдали от сутолоки «большого города» [Big Town]. А на Статен-Айленде есть фермеры, которые ни разу в жизни не отваживались на путешествие в Манхаттан. Тем не менее, все они считают себя ньюйоркцами и очень гордятся тем районом, в котором живут. Для туристов Нью-Йорк — это Манхаттан, преимущественно центральная его часть, между 34- й и 96-й улицами. В этом относительно небольшом районе сосредоточены самые фешенебельные отели, роскошные рестораны, самые знаменитые театры, кино, музеи, лучшие магазины. Нью-Йорк — это центр большого бизнеса, крупнейший финансовый центр мирового масштаба. Наличие в нём штаб-квартиры ООН делает его и политической столицей мира. Этническая пестрота его населения общеизвестна: есть такие уголки в городе, где не услышишь английского. Нью-Йорк — центр всех средств массовой информации. Из издаваемых ныне трёх ежедневных газет по крайней мере две — «Нью-Йорк таймс» [*‘New York Times’] и «Нью-Йорк дейли ньюс» [‘New York Daily News’] имеют общенациональное распространение. Нью-Йорк — центр культурной жизни США. В творческой жизни невозможно сделать карьеру, не получив признания в Нью-Йорке. В мире театра каждый актёр, драматург, режиссёр, художник, певец, танцор, музыкант и композитор испытывают на себе притягательную силу Бродвея. Живописцы, скульпторы, писатели всех жанров, карикатуристы, куплетисты, мастера и шарлатаны, все устремляют свой взор на Нью-Йорк. Нью-Йорк — центр туризма, американцы считают своим долгом побывать в этом современном Вавилоне, поглазеть на небоскрёбы, походить по фешенебельным и не столь уж фешенебельным магазинам, попробовать экзотические блюда в многочисленных ресторанах и кафе этнических районов — этих островков разных культур [culture islands], и затем, вернувшись домой, ещё раз повторить: «Нью-Йорк интересно посмотреть, но жить там не хочется» [‘New York is a great place to visit but you wouldn’t want to live there’].

2 New York City

(город) Нью-Йорк

Один из крупнейших и уникальных городов мира; финансовый, политический и культурный центр США. Расположен при впадении р. Хадсон [ Hudson River] в Атлантический океан. В административных границах занимает площадь свыше 300 кв. миль. 8 млн. жителей (2000) (первый по численности населения город в США) при самой высокой плотности населения в стране - 24 327 человек на кв. милю; причем население МСА [ MSA] Нью-Йорк - северный Нью-Джерси - прилегающие районы Коннектикута и Лонг-Айленда [ Long Island] составляло в 2000 около 21,2 млн. человек. В момент покупки острова Манхэттен [ Manhattan] у индейцев губернатором колонии Голландской Вест-Индской компании П. Минуитом [ Minuit, Peter] в 1626 население колонии насчитывало около 200 человек. К 1646 в г. Новом Амстердаме [ New Amsterdam] было уже 800 жителей. Одновременно на севере острова был построен г. Хаарлем [Haarlem, Harlem]. Оба поселения, связанные грунтовой дорогой, к 1686 получили статус города [ town] и соединились. В 1700 население г. Нью-Йорка составляло уже 7 тыс. человек, а в 1800 - 60 тыс. Все это время Нью-Йорк развивался в пределах Манхэттена, и лишь в 1874 и 1895 части округа Уэстчестер на севере вошли в состав города как его район Бронкс [ Bronx, the], а в 1898 в черту города были включены районы Бруклин [ Brooklyn] и Куинс [ Queens] на Лонг-Айленде и Ричмонд [ Richmond] на о. Стейтен [ Staten Island]. Ныне в городе пять административных районов [ borough]: Манхэттен, Бронкс, Бруклин, Куинс и Ричмонд. Многие сотни тысяч людей, работающих в Нью-Йорке, живут в пригородах, расположенных к северу от города (города Уайт-Плейнз, Йонкерс, округ Уэстчестер, округа штата Коннектикут), к западу (штат Нью-Джерси), а также на Лонг-Айленде, совершая в город ежедневные поездки [ commuter]. Город является "плавильным котлом" [ melting pot theory] в миниатюре: свыше 2,5 млн. жителей города являются иммигрантами, и примерно столько же - дети иммигрантов. Здесь живут люди свыше 60 национальностей, многие из которых составляют общины и говорят на своих языках. Нью-Йорк - крупнейший в США центр образования и культуры. Кроме всемирно известного Колумбийского университета [ Columbia University], в городе еще свыше 90 университетов и колледжей, около 1 тыс. муниципальных и свыше 900 частных школ; крупнейшие культурные центры США, в том числе всемирно известные: театр "Метрополитен-опера" [ Metropolitan Opera Company], концертный зал Карнеги-холл [ Carnegie Hall], Художественный музей "Метрополитен" [ Metropolitan Museum of Art] и др. Здесь расположены 100 больниц и 5 научно-исследовательских медицинских центров. В городе издается влиятельная газета "Нью-Йорк таймс", работают 13 теле- и 117 радиостанций. Важнейший транспортный центр: два крупных аэропорта, два железнодорожных вокзала, один из крупнейших в США морских портов [Port of New York]. Традиционно служил воротами для иммигрантов, приезжающих в США. Центр финансовой деятельности: кроме двух основных фондовых бирж страны, здесь расположены правления десятков ведущих банков и страховых компаний США [ Wall Street]. Здесь также расположены Центральные учреждения Организации Объединенных Наций и дипломатические представительства государств-членов ООН.

3 bridge-and-tunnel crowd

амер.; разг.; неодобр.; = btc приезжие; провинциалы (о жителях предместий, приезжающих в крупные города по выходным; первоначально о приезжающих в центр Нью-Йорка, на остров Манхэттен; чтобы попасть на него, нужно проехать по мосту или через туннель)

We have to laugh every time we hear club owners bellyaching that they do not want the bridge and tunnel crowd mucking up their all-star venues. — Нам смешно всякий раз, когда очередной владелец ночного клуба заводит старую песню о том, что в его заведении тусуются одни звёзды, и он не желает видеть там приезжих.

All I can say is "bridge and tunnel crowd". I am from London and I can see that the crowd is full of out-of-towners, imagine what a New Yorker must think. — Могу добавить только одно: здесь уйма приезжих! Хотя я сам из Лондона, и то вижу, что посетители в основном не местные. Что уж говорить о нью-йоркцах!

16 Manhattan

Манхэттен

Административный район [ borough] г. Нью-Йорка, занимающий одноименный остров, купленный голландцами у индейцев в 1626 за бусы и другие украшения на сумму в 24 доллара. Вытянут на 21,5 км с юга на север с максимальной шириной в 3,7 км. Центральный район г. Нью-Йорка, вокруг которого исторически складывался весь город [ New York City], делится на Южный Манхэттен [ Lower Manhattan] и Северный Манхэттен [ Upper Manhattan]. К югу от 65-й улицы по 14-й улице делится на Нижний Манхэттен [ Downtown Manhattan] и Средний Манхэттен [ Midtown Manhattan]. К северу от 65-й улицы до северной оконечности острова - Верхний Манхэттен [ Upper Manhattan]. На Манхэттене сосредоточены все основные деловые, финансовые, административные и культурные учреждения Нью-Йорка. Здесь расположены и важнейшие достопримечательности города: его исторические памятники [ Battery Park, Wall Street], небоскребы [ Woolworth Building, Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, World Trade Center( комплекс разрушен в результате террористических актов 11 сентября 2001 September 11]), культурные учреждения [ New York Public Library, Metropolitan Opera Company, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Radio City Music Hall], деловой центр - Фондовая биржа [ New York Stock Exchange] и правления многочисленных корпораций [Citicorp, Chase Manhattan Corp.], муниципальный центр города [Civic Center], а также отели [ Waldorf-Astoria, Plaza Hotel], крупнейшие универмаги и торговые районы города [ Macy's, Bloomingdale's], музеи [ Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim Museum, Frick Collection], учебные заведения [ Columbia University, New York University, Hunter College], Центральные учреждения Организации Объединенных Наций [ United Nations Headquarters]. Манхэттен соединен крупнейшими в мире мостами и автомобильными тоннелями с другими районами города [ George Washington Bridge, Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn - Battery Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel]. На востоке Манхэттен отделен от Лонг-Айленда [ Long Island] проливом Ист-Ривер [ East River], на западе - от штата Нью-Джерси р. Хадсон [ Hudson River]. Крупнейший порт [ New York Port Authority]. Исторически развивался с юга на север. Первым европейцем, побывавшим в устье р. Хадсон, был флорентийский мореплаватель Джиованни да Верразано в 1525, но первым нанес на карту этот лесистый остров в устье реки английский мореплаватель Генри Хадсон, состоявший на службе у голландцев. Остров был населен индейцами, которые называли его Ман-а-хат-та - Небесный остров. В момент покупки острова у индейцев губернатором колонии Голландской вест-индской компании Питером Минуитом [ Minuit, Peter] население колонии насчитывало около 200 человек. К 1646 в Новом Амстердаме [ New Amsterdam] было уже 800 жителей. Одновременно на севере острова был построен г. Хаарлем [Haarlem, Harlem]. Оба поселения, связанные грунтовой дорогой, соединились к 1686, и получили статус города. В 1700 население г. Нью-Йорка составляло уже 7 тыс. человек, а в 1800 - 60 тыс. Все это время Нью-Йорк развивался в пределах Манхэттена, и лишь в конце XIX в. черту г. Нью-Йорка вошли и другие районы города

[br]

b. 9 April 1806 Portsea, Hampshire, England

d. 15 September 1859 18 Duke Street, St James's, London, England

[br]

English civil and mechanical engineer.

[br]

The son of Marc Isambard Brunel and Sophia Kingdom, he was educated at a private boarding-school in Hove. At the age of 14 he went to the College of Caen and then to the Lycée Henri-Quatre in Paris, after which he was apprenticed to Louis Breguet. In 1822 he returned from France and started working in his father's office, while spending much of his time at the works of Maudslay, Sons \& Field.

From 1825 to 1828 he worked under his father on the construction of the latter's Thames Tunnel, occupying the position of Engineer-in-Charge, exhibiting great courage and presence of mind in the emergencies which occurred not infrequently. These culminated in January 1828 in the flooding of the tunnel and work was suspended for seven years. For the next five years the young engineer made abortive attempts to find a suitable outlet for his talents, but to little avail. Eventually, in 1831, his design for a suspension bridge over the River Avon at Clifton Gorge was accepted and he was appointed Engineer. (The bridge was eventually finished five years after Brunel's death, as a memorial to him, the delay being due to inadequate financing.) He next planned and supervised improvements to the Bristol docks. In March 1833 he was appointed Engineer of the Bristol Railway, later called the Great Western Railway. He immediately started to survey the route between London and Bristol that was completed by late August that year. On 5 July 1836 he married Mary Horsley and settled into 18 Duke Street, Westminster, London, where he also had his office. Work on the Bristol Railway started in 1836. The foundation stone of the Clifton Suspension Bridge was laid the same year. Whereas George Stephenson had based his standard railway gauge as 4 ft 8½ in (1.44 m), that or a similar gauge being usual for colliery wagonways in the Newcastle area, Brunel adopted the broader gauge of 7 ft (2.13 m). The first stretch of the line, from Paddington to Maidenhead, was opened to traffic on 4 June 1838, and the whole line from London to Bristol was opened in June 1841. The continuation of the line through to Exeter was completed and opened on 1 May 1844. The normal time for the 194-mile (312 km) run from Paddington to Exeter was 5 hours, at an average speed of 38.8 mph (62.4 km/h) including stops. The Great Western line included the Box Tunnel, the longest tunnel to that date at nearly two miles (3.2 km).

Brunel was the engineer of most of the railways in the West Country, in South Wales and much of Southern Ireland. As railway networks developed, the frequent break of gauge became more of a problem and on 9 July 1845 a Royal Commission was appointed to look into it. In spite of comparative tests, run between Paddington-Didcot and Darlington-York, which showed in favour of Brunel's arrangement, the enquiry ruled in favour of the narrow gauge, 274 miles (441 km) of the former having been built against 1,901 miles (3,059 km) of the latter to that date. The Gauge Act of 1846 forbade the building of any further railways in Britain to any gauge other than 4 ft 8 1/2 in (1.44 m).

The existence of long and severe gradients on the South Devon Railway led to Brunel's adoption of the atmospheric railway developed by Samuel Clegg and later by the Samuda brothers. In this a pipe of 9 in. (23 cm) or more in diameter was laid between the rails, along the top of which ran a continuous hinged flap of leather backed with iron. At intervals of about 3 miles (4.8 km) were pumping stations to exhaust the pipe. Much trouble was experienced with the flap valve and its lubrication—freezing of the leather in winter, the lubricant being sucked into the pipe or eaten by rats at other times—and the experiment was abandoned at considerable cost.

Brunel is to be remembered for his two great West Country tubular bridges, the Chepstow and the Tamar Bridge at Saltash, with the latter opened in May 1859, having two main spans of 465 ft (142 m) and a central pier extending 80 ft (24 m) below high water mark and allowing 100 ft (30 m) of headroom above the same. His timber viaducts throughout Devon and Cornwall became a feature of the landscape. The line was extended ultimately to Penzance.

As early as 1835 Brunel had the idea of extending the line westwards across the Atlantic from Bristol to New York by means of a steamship. In 1836 building commenced and the hull left Bristol in July 1837 for fitting out at Wapping. On 31 March 1838 the ship left again for Bristol but the boiler lagging caught fire and Brunel was injured in the subsequent confusion. On 8 April the ship set sail for New York (under steam), its rival, the 703-ton Sirius, having left four days earlier. The 1,340-ton Great Western arrived only a few hours after the Sirius. The hull was of wood, and was copper-sheathed. In 1838 Brunel planned a larger ship, some 3,000 tons, the Great Britain, which was to have an iron hull.

The Great Britain was screwdriven and was launched on 19 July 1843,289 ft (88 m) long by 51 ft (15.5 m) at its widest. The ship's first voyage, from Liverpool to New York, began on 26 August 1845. In 1846 it ran aground in Dundrum Bay, County Down, and was later sold for use on the Australian run, on which it sailed no fewer than thirty-two times in twenty-three years, also serving as a troop-ship in the Crimean War. During this war, Brunel designed a 1,000-bed hospital which was shipped out to Renkioi ready for assembly and complete with shower-baths and vapour-baths with printed instructions on how to use them, beds and bedding and water closets with a supply of toilet paper! Brunel's last, largest and most extravagantly conceived ship was the Great Leviathan, eventually named The Great Eastern, which had a double-skinned iron hull, together with both paddles and screw propeller. Brunel designed the ship to carry sufficient coal for the round trip to Australia without refuelling, thus saving the need for and the cost of bunkering, as there were then few bunkering ports throughout the world. The ship's construction was started by John Scott Russell in his yard at Millwall on the Thames, but the building was completed by Brunel due to Russell's bankruptcy in 1856. The hull of the huge vessel was laid down so as to be launched sideways into the river and then to be floated on the tide. Brunel's plan for hydraulic launching gear had been turned down by the directors on the grounds of cost, an economy that proved false in the event. The sideways launch with over 4,000 tons of hydraulic power together with steam winches and floating tugs on the river took over two months, from 3 November 1857 until 13 January 1858. The ship was 680 ft (207 m) long, 83 ft (25 m) beam and 58 ft (18 m) deep; the screw was 24 ft (7.3 m) in diameter and paddles 60 ft (18.3 m) in diameter. Its displacement was 32,000 tons (32,500 tonnes).

The strain of overwork and the huge responsibilities that lay on Brunel began to tell. He was diagnosed as suffering from Bright's disease, or nephritis, and spent the winter travelling in the Mediterranean and Egypt, returning to England in May 1859. On 5 September he suffered a stroke which left him partially paralysed, and he died ten days later at his Duke Street home.

American mechanical engineer.

[br]

The son of a lawyer, he entered an academy in Cape Cod and, at the age of 19, the English Academy at Andover, Massachusetts, for five terms. He was then in the employ of Samuel L. Fenton of Charlestown, Massachusetts. He served a three-year apprenticeship, then went to the Windsor White River Division of the Vermont Central Railroad. He was Resident Engineer of the Cheshire Railroad at Walpote, New Hampshire, from 1847 to 1849, and then worked in independent practice as a civil engineer and surveyor until his death. He was involved with nearly all the railroads running out of Boston, especially the Boston \& Maine. In April 1863 he was appointed Chief Engineer of the Hoosac Tunnel, which was already being built. He introduced new engineering methods, relocated the line of the tunnel and achieved great accuracy in the meeting of the borings. He was largely responsible for the development in the USA of the advanced system of tunnelling with machinery and explosives, and pioneered the use of compressed air in the USA. In 1869 he was Chief Engineer of the Burlington \& Missouri River Railroad in Nebraska, laying down some 240 miles (386 km) of track in four years. During this period he became interested in the building of a Congregational College at Crete, Nebraska, for which he gave the land and which was named after him. In 1873 he returned to Charlestown and was again appointed Chief Engineer of the Hoosac Tunnel. At the final opening of the tunnel on 9 February 1875 he drove the first engine through. He remained in charge of construction for a further two years.

Open University - OU

Eine britische Fernuniversität, die 1969 gegründet wurde und vor allem Berufstätigen im Fernstudium Kurse auf verschiedenem Niveau bietet, insbesondere wissenschaftliche und berufliche Fortbildungsprogramme. Studenten jeder Altersgruppe, selbst solche ohne die erforderlichen Schulabschlüsse, können das Studium nach vier oder fünf Jahren mit dem Bachelor's degree und dem Master's degree abschließen. Teilnehmer studieren von zu Hause - teilweise mittels audiovisueller Medien - schicken ihre Arbeit ein und erhalten eine Rückantwort von ihrem tutor (Dozent). Studenten können auch am Direktunterricht mit wöchentlichen Seminaren in Studienzentren und an Sommerschulen teilnehmen. Nach dem erfolgreichen Vorbild der Open University gibt es inzwischen auch in anderen Teilen der Welt ähnliche Fortbildungsprogramme
