(well) anyway

Толкование Перевод

1 anyway

ANYWAY
Частица anyway выполняет большое количество разнообразных языковых функций. Достаточно часто она связывает предваряемое ею высказывание с непосредственно предшествующим. Здесь можно выделить, например, такую ее функцию, как ограничение (уточнение) истинности предыдущего высказывания. В русском языке подобную функцию способны выполнять выражения по крайней мере и во всяком случае:

• "We both had careers, but..." - "What was hers?" - "She was in advertising. Not a world I liked very much. Or its men, anyway." (F: 335)

"У нас у обеих была своя специальность, но..." - "Чем занималась она?" - "Рекламой. Это была не та среда, которая мне особенно нравилась. По крайней мере, те, кто там работал."

• "The first act has apparently required you to attract me. Anyway, that's been the effect." (F: 221)

"В первом акте, очевидно, предполагается, что я должен увлечься тобой. Во всяком случае, у меня сложилось такое впечатление."

Другую функцию anyway можно было бы обозначить как введение дополнительного важного или решающего аргумента. При введении дополнительного важного аргумента эквивалентами английской частицы могут выступать да и потом, кроме того, к тому же, а при введении решающего аргумента - да и вообще, в любом случае, да и:

• "They aren't English. And absolutely under Maurice's thumb. We hardly see them anyway." (F: 218)

"Они не англичане. И делают лишь то, что скажет Морис. В любом случае, мы с ними почти не видимся."

• I knew he could be bluffing, but I had a strong idea that he wasn't - and anyway... he wouldn't risk using such an obvious place. (F: 451)

Я знал, что он, возможно, блефует, но у меня было сильное подозрение, что нет... да и потом он бы не рискнул спрятать их в таком очевидном месте.

• "What would you know about literary creation anyway, Parkinson?" (DL: 315)

" Да и вообще, что вы можете знать о литературном творчестве, Паркинсон?"

Особым случаем употребления частицы anyway является ее способность вводить актуальный аргумент, который является истинным, несмотря на то, что говорилось ранее. В следующем примере героиня подчеркивает, что хотя она и не по своей инициативе стала говорить на определенную тему, но это не значит, что она не верит в то, что говорила:

• "That theological talk last night?" - "Yes. He asked me to say that... And I do believe it a little, anyway." (F: 345)

"А как насчет вчерашней теологической беседы?" - "Да, он действительно попросил меня поговорить об этом. И, потом, я все-таки сама в это немного верю."

Кроме все-таки, передавать данное прагматическое значение английской частицы могут все равно и в любом случае:

• "I hope I didn't waken you," says Morris. - "Oh, no. Anyway, can't let you go without a word of goodbye." (DL: 91)

"Надеюсь, не разбудил вас", говорит Моррис. - "Нет, нет. Я в любом случае не мог не попрощаться с вами."

Иногда частица anyway употребляется для выражения естественности или неизбежности некоего события:

• "But it's impossible, my lady. You'll get me into trouble and I'll lose my job." - "You'll lose it anyway when you go to prison..." ( AC1: 86)

"Но это невозможно, миледи. У меня будут неприятности, и я лишусь работы." - "Ты так и так ее лишишься, когда попадешь в тюрьму."

Как видно, в данном примере в качестве эквивалента частицы употреблено русское выражение так и так, можно было бы также употребить в любом случае. Вообще, в этой функции у частицы есть достаточно много разных эквивалентов, в частности, возможно использование все равно, так или иначе или и так:

• "Have you really flown all the way from America for this conference?" - "Not exactly. I was coming to Europe anyway..." (DL: 19)

"Вы что, действительно, специально летели из Америки на эту конференцию?" - "Не совсем. Я все равно (так или иначе) собирался в Европу."

Особо стоит остановиться на функционировании частицы anyway в более объемных отрезках текста, когда частица связывает вводимое ею высказывание не с одним, а несколькими высказываниями в совокупности. Во-первых, она может маркировать переход от одной темы к другой:

• "My height is a curse... Can't get away with anything... What brings you here anyway?" (JB: 204)

"От моего роста мне одни неприятности. Ничего невозможно сделать незаметно... Ну, неважно, ты-то как здесь очутился?"

В русском языке для заполнения паузы, часто образующейся при переходе к новой теме, обычно используется частица ну и сочетания с ней, одно из которых мы видим в приведенном примере. Среди других возможных сочетаний такого рода можно назвать ну, (да) ладно и ну, не суть.
Сходным образом частица anyway используется для возврата к прежней, основной теме беседы или рассказа. Потенциальные русские эквиваленты английской частицы в этой функции в целом совпадают с предыдущими (ну, неважно, ну да ладно, короче), хотя именно здесь возможно также ну так вот:

• "... young Johns played the piano. Versatile lad, that; the oboe's his instrument, really. Well anyway, the reporter chap must have got the story wrong..." (KA: 7)

"... юный Джонс играл на фортепиано. Кстати, очень разносторонний парень; вообще-то, я думаю, лучше всего он играет на гобое. Ну так вот, этот репортер, должно быть, чего-то не понял..."

Довольно часто anyway используется для резюмирования или перехода к главному, сигнализируя о пропуске незначительных деталей. В русском языке сходную функцию выполняют слова и выражения главное, короче, словом, во всяком случае, в общем:

• I told Morris that, and it didn't make him any sweeter... Anyway, I'm going to put the whole story into my book. (DL: 296)

Я сказала об этом Моррису, что отнюдь не добавило ему любезности... В общем, я собираюсь вставить всю историю в свою книгу..

• If he's not there I'll leave a message or something. Anyway I'll see to it... that Mrs Welch doesn't get involved. (KA: 94)

Если его не будет дома, я оставлю сообщение или что-нибудь ещё. Во всяком случае, сделаю все так, чтобы миссис Велч ничего не узнала.

• He's terrible, he won't stop playing games. Anyway, I hope you know what it's all about. (F: 402)

Он невыносим, постоянно играет в какие-то игры. Короче / ну, надеюсь, ты понимаешь, что я имею в виду.
