В 1917 США, понимая стратегическое значение этих островов на пути к Панамскому каналу [ Panama Canal], приобрели эти острова за 25 млн. долларов. С 1927 островитяне являются гражданами США. В 1970 здесь прошли первые выборы губернатора, который до этого назначался президентом США. Роль конституции выполняет Исправленный основной закон 1954 года [Revised Organic Act of 1954]. С 1973 острова имеют представителя с правом совещательного голоса в Палате представителей [ House of Representatives].

  • 12 Massachusetts

    Штат на северо-востоке США в группе штатов Новой Англии [ New England]. Официальное название - Содружество Массачусетс [Commonwealth of Massachusetts]. Площадь 27,3 тыс. кв. км. Население 6,3 млн. человек (2000). Столица и самый крупный город - Бостон [ Boston], крупнейший центр Новой Англии. Другие крупные города: Вустер [ Worcester], Спрингфилд [ Springfield], Лоуэлл [ Lowell], Нью-Бедфорд [ New Bedford], Кеймбридж [ Cambridge], Броктон [ Brockton], Фолл-Ривер [ Fall River], Куинси [ Quincy], Ньютон [ Newton]. Граничит со штатами Вермонт [ Vermont], Нью-Хэмпшир [ New Hampshire] и Мэн [ Maine] на севере, Род-Айленд [ Rhode Island] и Коннектикут [ Connecticut] - на юге, штатом Нью-Йорк [ New York] - на западе, на востоке имеет выход к Атлантическому океану. На востоке - Приатлантическая низменность [Atlantic Coastal Plain], на западе отроги Аппалачских гор [ Appalachian Mountains] - горы Таконик [ Taconic Mountains] и Беркшир-Хиллс [ Berkshire Hills], прорезанные р. Коннектикут [ Connecticut River] и ее притоками. Высшая точка - Маунт-Грейлок [ Greylock, Mount]. На юго-востоке - песчаная низменность, в океан выдается мыс Кейп-Код [ Cape Cod]. У южного побережья расположены острова Мартас-Виньярд [ Martha's Vineyard], мысе Нантакет [ Nantucket Island], Элизабет [Elizabeth Islands]. Умеренный влажный климат. Массачусетс имеет богатое событиями прошлое и оказал огромное влияние на развитие страны. Первыми европейцами, поселившимися на землях будущего штата, были пилигримы [ Pilgrims], прибывшие на "Мэйфлауэре" [ Mayflower] и основавшие в декабре 1620 Плимутскую колонию [ Plymouth Colony]. За ними последовали другие переселенцы. "Дорчестерская компания" [Dorchester Co.] основала в 1623 колонию Глостер [ Gloucester] на мысе Кейп-Энн [Cape Ann], а в 1626 - Номкиг [Naumkeag], будущий г. Сейлем [ Salem]. В 1629 была создана Компания Массачусетского залива [ Massachusetts Bay Company]. Первая крупная группа переселенцев-пуритан [ Puritans] прибыла сюда в 1630 под руководством Дж. Уинтропа [ Winthrop, John], основавшего Бостон как столицу колонии [ Massachusetts Bay Colony] и возглавлявшего местную иерархию в течение двух десятилетий. Вновь прибывавшие иммигранты постепенно стали расселяться вглубь континента, силой вытесняя индейцев [ Pequot War] (1637). В 1643 была создана конфедерация колоний для координации обороны, наиболее эффективно проявившая себя во время Войны короля Филипа [ King Philip's War] (1675-76). В 1684 устав колонии был упразднен, и в 1686 Массачусетская и Плимутская колонии были включены в состав Доминиона Новая Англия [ Dominion of New England], просуществовавшего до 1689. В 1691 на части территории современного Массачусетса была создана Провинция Мэн [Province of Maine]. Эпоха господства пуритан завершилась судебными процессами над сейлемскими (салемскими) "ведьмами" [ Salem Witchcraft Trials] (1692). Начало XVIII в. - период бурного экономического роста и расширения Массачусетса, развития промышленности и внешней торговли. Ширился протест против налогового гнета со стороны метрополии и тормозивших развитие колонии законов [ Molasses Act, Sugar Act, Stamp Act, Tea Act, Townshend Acts]. Кульминацией этого протеста были события в Бостоне: Бостонская резня [ Boston Massacre] (1770) и "Бостонское чаепитие" [ Boston Tea Party] (1773). Бостонский порт был закрыт, а экспедиция британских войск спровоцировала битву при Лексингтоне и Конкорде [ Lexington and Concord]. После победы американцев при Банкер-Хилле [ Bunker Hill, Battle of] англичане эвакуировались из Бостона (1776). Массачусетс, шестой по счету штат, дал молодой республике таких деятелей, как Джон Адамс [ Adams, John], Сэмюэл Адамс [ Adams, Samuel], Дж. Хэнкок [ Hancock, John]. В начале XIX в. штат серьезно пострадал от эмбарго и ограничений на внешнюю торговлю. Недовольные англо-американской войной [ War of 1812] граждане даже поднимали на Хартфордском конвенте [ Hartford Convention] вопрос о выходе из состава США. После войны в штат вернулось прежнее процветание, продолжалось развитие промышленности, сельского хозяйства и транспортной сети, ускорился рост городов. Первые 200 лет истории Массачусетса его население практически полностью состояло из потомков выходцев из Англии. С 1840-х начался приток иммигрантов из Ирландии [ Irish-Americans], в основном поселившихся в Бостоне; выходцы из Англии больше не доминировали в жизни штата. Позднее в этом же районе стали селиться итальянцы, польские и российские евреи, португальцы, французы и англоязычные канадцы, после второй мировой войны - негры. В Массачусетсе, одном из главных оплотов аболиционизма [ abolition], начало Гражданской войны [ Civil War] было встречено с энтузиазмом, штат внес существенный вклад в победу Севера. На конец столетия приходится мощный всплеск индустриального развития штата. В 1900-10 многие фабрики уже устарели и закрылись, текстильная промышленность постепенно переместилась в южные штаты. Возросла роль сферы услуг, банковского дела и страхования; в первые десятилетия XX в. продолжались процессы урбанизации (более 60 процентов жителей штата живут в городах с населением свыше 25 тыс. человек). Великая депрессия [ Great Depression] прежде всего отразилась на районах, уже пострадавших от закрытия текстильных и обувных фабрик. Во время второй мировой войны штат значительно расширил кораблестроение и машиностроение. В послевоенный период Массачусетс часто играл роль национального лидера в социально-политических переменах. С 50-х гг. большое место в экономике стали занимать новые отрасли, в том числе электроника. Массачусетс первым принял ряд мер по охране окружающей среды, созданию эффективных систем городского транспорта (в Бостоне), коммунальных услуг и др., внес огромный вклад в культуру и образование. Основные проблемы штата в начале 90-х гг. - спад в промышленности, рост безработицы и преступности, ухудшение условий жизни в крупных городах, снижение уровня социальной помощи. Конституция Массачусетса была принята в 1780 и является старейшей действующей конституцией штата [ state constitution]. Родина Дж. Кеннеди [ Kennedy, John Fitzgerald (JFK)], Массачусетс - традиционный оплот Демократической партии [ Democratic Party].

    pret. sing. bjó, 2nd pers. bjótt, mod. bjóst; plur. bjoggu, bjöggu, and mod. bjuggu, or even buggu; sup. búit, búið, and (rarely) contr. búð; part. búinn; pret. subj. bjöggi, mod. byggi or bjyggi; pres. sing. indic. bý; pl. búm, mod. búum: reflex. forms býsk or býst, bjósk or bjóst, bjöggusk, búisk, etc.: poët. forms with suffixed negative bjó-at, Skv. 3. 39: an obsolete pret. bjoggi = bjó, Fms. ix. 440 (in a verse); bjöggisk = bjósk, Hom. 118. [Búa is originally a reduplicated and contracted verb answering to Goth. búan, of which the pret. may have been baibau: by bûan Ulf. renders Gr. οικειν, κατοικειν; Hel. bûan = habitare; Germ. bauen; Swed. and Dan. bo. The Icel. distinguishes between the strong neut. and originally redupl. verb búa, and the transit. and weak byggja, q. v.: búa seems to be kindred to Gr. φύω, εφυσα (cp. Sansk. bhû, bhavâmi, Lat. fui); byggja to Lat. făcio, cp. Swed.-Dan. bygga, Scot. and North. E. to ‘big,’ i. e. to build; cp. Lat. aedificare, nidificare: again, the coincidence in sense with the Gr. οικος, οικειν, Lat. vicus, is no less striking, cp. the references s. v. bú above. Búa, as a root word, is one of the most interesting words in the Scandin. tongues; bú, bær, bygg, bygð, byggja, etc., all belong to this family: it survives in the North. E. word to ‘big,’ in the Germ. bauen ( to till), and possibly (v. above) in the auxiliary verb ‘to be.’]
    A. NEUTER, to live, abide, dwell, = Gr. οικειν, Lat. habitare; sú synd sem í mér býr, Rom. vii. 17, 20; í mér, þat er í mínu holdi, býr ekki gott, 18; hann sem býr í ljósinu, 1 Tim. vi. 16; fyrir Heilagan Anda sem í oss býr, 2 Tim. i. 14; Látið Christs orð ríkulega búa meðal yðar, Col. iii. 16; þá trú … sem áðr fyr bjó í þinni ömmu Loide, 2 Tim. i. 5; þat hit góða sem í oss býr, 14; hann sem býr í ljósinu, þar einginn kann til að komast, 1 Tim. vi. 16; hence íbúð, living in, etc.; in many of those passages some Edd. of N.

    II. metaph. and with prepp.; b. um e-t, or b. yfir e-u, almost in an uncanny sense, to brood over hidden schemes, designs, resentment, or the like; búa um hverfan hug, to be of a fickle mind, Skv. 3. 39; b. eigi um heilt, to brood over something against one, to be insincere, Fms. xi. 365; b. um skoll, to brood over some deceit, id.; b. um grun, to be suspicious, ii. 87: in good sense, b. um eitt lunderni, to be of one mind, Jb. 17; b. um þrek, hug, to have a bold heart, Lex.

    B. ACTIVE, to make ready: the sense and form here reminds one of the Gr. ποιειν: [this sense is much used in Old Engl., esp. the part. bone, boon, or boun, ready, (‘boun to go,’ Chaucer, etc.); in later Engl. ‘boun’ was corrupted into ‘bound,’ in such naut. phrases as bound for a port, etc.: from this part, the ballad writers formed a fresh verb, to boun, ‘busk ye, boun ye;’ ‘busk’ is a remnant of the old reflex, búask, see Dasent, Burnt Njal, pref. xvi. note, and cp. below III.]
    I. to make ready, ‘boun,’ for a journey; b. ferð, för sína; and as a naut. term, b. skip, to make ready for sea; bjoggu þeir ferð sína, Fms. ix. 453; en er þeir vóru búnir, Nj. 122; ok vóru þá mjök brott búnir, they were ‘boun’ for sea, Fms. vii. 101; bjó hann skip sitt, Nj. 128; en skip er brotið, svá at eigi er í för búanda á því sumri, i. e. ship unfit to go to sea, Grág. i. 92; b. sik til göngu, to be ‘boun’ for a walk, Ld. 46; b. sik at keyra, to make one ready for …, Nj. 91.

    II. particular use of the part. pass, ‘boun,’ ready, willing; margir munu búnir at kaupa, ready, willing to buy, Fms. vi. 218; hann kvaðsk þess fyrir löngu búinn, Ld. 66, Fms. iii. 123; nefna vátta at þeir eru búnir ( ready) at leysa kvið þann af hendi, Grág. i. 54; vóru allir til þess búnir, Fms. xi. 360: compar., engir menn sýna sik búnari ( more willing) til liðveizlu, Sturl. i. 103: the allit. phrase, vera boðinn og búinn til e-s, vide bjóða VI: denoting fitted, adapted, ek em gamall, ok lítt b. at ( little fit to) hefna sona minna, Nj. 200; þótt ek sé verr til b. en hann fyrir vanheilsu sakir, Fms. vii. 275; eiga við búið (mod. vera við búinn), to keep oneself ready, to be on one’s guard, Bs. i. 537.

    β. neut. búið is used almost adverbially, on the point of, just about to; ok búið við skipbroti, Ísl. ii. 245; búið við váða miklum, Fms. ix. 310; sagði at þá var búit við geig mikinn með þeim feðgum, Eg. 158: this is rare and obsolete in mod. usage; and the Icel. now say, liggja við mér lá við að detta, where an old writer would have said, ek var búinn at detta; the sense would else be ambiguous, as búinn, vera búinn, in mod. usage means to have done; ég er búinn að eta, I have done eating; vera búinn að e-u (a work, business of any kind), to have done with it; also absol., eg er búinn, I have done; thus e. g. vera b. að kaupa, fyrir löngu b., b. at græða, leysa, etc., in mod. sense means to have done, done long ago; only by adding prepp. við, til (vera við búinn, til búinn) the part. resumes its old sense: on the other hand, búinn in the sense of having done hardly ever occurs in old writers.

    δ. svá búit, adverbially, and proncd. as if one word, as matters stand, or even temp. at present, as yet; eigi mun hlýða svá búit, i. e. it will not do ‘so done,’ i. e. something else must be done, Eg. 507; eigi munu þér fá at unnit svá búið, i. e. not as yet, Fms. vii. 270; stendr þar nú svá búit (i. e. unchanged), um hríð, xi. 81; en berjask eigi svo búit, not fight as yet, Nj. 229; segja Eyjólfi til svá búins, they tell Eyolf the state of things, viz. that nothing had been done, Gísl. 41; þeir skildu við svá búit; þeir lögðu frá við svá búið, implying ‘vain effort,’ Germ. ‘unverrichteter Sache,’ Ísl. ii, Hkr. i. 340: at svá búnu, adverbially, as yet, at present; hann kvaðsk eigi fýsask til Íslands at svá búnu, Nj. 123, Fms. xi. 131; þenna draum segjum vér engum manni at svá búnu, this dream we will not tell to anybody as yet, Nj. 212; en at svá búnu tjár ekki, Fas. i. 364.

  • 14 víkingr

    (-s, -ar), m.
    1) freebooter, sea-rover, pirate, viking (Flóki Vilgerðarson hét maðr, hann var v. mikill);
    2) in later times, robber, highwayman.
    * * *
    m. a freebooter, rover, pirate, but in the Icel. Sagas used specially of the bands of Scandinavian warriors, who during the 9th and 10th centuries harried the British Isles and Normandy: the word is peculiarly Norse, for although it occurs in A. S. in the poem Byrnoth (six or seven times), it is there evidently to be regarded as a Norse word; and prob. so too in the poem ‘Exodus,’ in the words rondas bærun sæwicingas, over saltne mere; lastly, in ‘Widsith,’ as the name of a people, and Liðvicingas (= Liðungar? q. v.) The word ‘víkingr’ is thought to be derived from vík ( a bay), from their haunting the bays, creeks, and fjords;—or it means ‘the men from the fjords,’ the coincidence that the old Irish called the Norsemen ‘Lochlannoch.’ and Norway ‘Lochlan,’ is curious.
    B. A few selected references will illustrate the word:—Naddoddr hét maðr, hann var víkingr mikill, Landn. 26; Flóki Vilgerðarson hét maðr, hann var v. mikill, 28; slógusk í Eyjarnar víkingar ok herjuðu ok ræntu víða, 41; Úlfr víkingr ok Ólafr bekkr fóru samskipa til Íslands, 202; en er þeir lágu til hafs kómu at þeim víkingar ok vildu ræna þá, en Gautr laust stafnbúann þeirra við hjálmun-veli, ok lögðu víkingar við þat frá, siðan var hann kallaðr Hjálmun-gautr, 223; Hrafn hafnar-lykkill var víkingr mikill, hann fór til Íslands ok nam land …, 269; Ölvir barna-karl hét maðr ágætr í Noregi, hann var víkingr mikill, hann lét eigi henda börn á spjóta-oddum sem þá var víkingum títt, því var hann barna-karl kallaðr, 308; maðr hét Þorsteinn, gamall maðr ok sjónlítill, hann hafði verit rauða-víkingr (q. v.) í æsku sinni, Þorst. S.; Þorkell miðlangr, hann er rauðr víkingr ok í missætti við Hákon jarl, Fms. xi. 121; her-víkingr, a pirate, i. 225 (p. 259); víkings efni, víkinga höfðingi, konungr, Eg. 190, Fms. vi. 389, Fas. ii. 132; víkinga lið, Stj.; víkinga skip, skeið, snekkja, Hkr. i. 296, Korm. 236, Fms. i. 289; víkinga bæli, Eg. 251; víkinga rán, Fms. vi. 291; Bera kvað Egil vera víkings-efni … þegar hann hefði aldr til ok honum væri fengin herskip, Eg. 190 (and the following verse—þat mælti mín móðir, at mér skyldi kaupa fley ok fagrar árar, fara í hring með víkingum …); af Gizori má göra þrjá menn, hann má vera víkinga höfðingi …, þá má hann ok vera konungr …, með þriðja hætti má hann vera biskup, ok er hann bezt til þess fallinn af þessum þremr, Fms. vi. 389: on Swed. Runic stones, sá var víkinga-vörðr með Gauti, Baut. 267; allir víkingar, Brocm. 197. Of old poems the Hkv. Hund. well illustrates the life and warfare of Vikings of the 9th and 10th centuries, where also the word itself occurs (verpr vígroða um víkinga); as also vinr víkinga, in the song in Hervar. S.; víkingr Dana, Helr. 11; the saying, víkingar fara ekki at lögum.
    2. in after times the word fell into discredit, and is used, esp. in eccl. legends, as = robber, being applied by a misnomer even to highwaymen, Stj. passim; víkingsins Alexandri, Al. 98; Besso þeim vánda víkingi, 122; víkinga dráp, Grett. 100; þessum vansignaða víkingi, Stj. 463 (of Goliath), so in Grág. ii. 136; or even in the Landn., Þorbjörn bitra hét maðr, hann var v. ok íllmenni, 159. For the laws of the ancient Vikings, their discipline and manners, see esp. Hálfs S. ch. 10, Jómsvík. ch. 24 (Fms. xi), Flóam. S. ch. 2, Vd. ch. 2, Yngl. S. ch. 34, 41, Eg. ch. 48, Ó. T. (Hkr.) ch. 101, 102, Ó. H. ch. 21, the Orkn. S. (Sweyn Asleifson) ch. 115, Þorvalds S. Víðf. ch. 1 (Bs. i. 36, 37): records of their wars and voyages, the Landn. passim, the first chapters of Eg., Eb., Ld., Grett., Orkn., Hkr. i. passim.
    II. Víkingr, a pr. name, Landn. and several times on the Swed. Runic stones; cp. Súð-víkingr, a man from Súðavík, Bs.

Состоит из материковой части и большого числа островов [ Alexander Archipelago, Aleutian Islands, Pribilof Islands, Kodiak Island]. Омывается Северным Ледовитым и Тихим океанами. На Тихоокеанском побережье - Аляскинский хребет [ Alaska Range]; внутренняя часть - плато высотой от 1200 м на востоке до 600 м на западе; переходит в низменность. На севере - хребет Брукса [ Brooks Range], за которым расположена Арктическая низменность [ Arctic coastal plain]. На Тихоокеанском побережье климат умеренный, морской, относительно мягкий; в остальных районах - арктический и субарктический континентальный, с суровыми зимами. Основные отрасли экономики - добыча полезных ископаемых, прежде всего нефти (в районе Залива Прудхо [ Prudhoe Bay] и полуострова Кенай [ Kenai Peninsula]), рыболовство, туризм. Аляска была территорией России после ее исследования Витусом Берингом и Александром Чириковым в 1741. Постоянное поселение русских [ Russian-Americans] было основано в 1784 на острове Кадьяк Григорием Шелеховым (сейчас единственное целиком русское поселение - г. Николаевск [Nikolaevsk] на полуострове Кенай, основано и заселено с 1968 старообрядцами). Аляска была куплена США у России по инициативе госсекретаря У. Сьюарда [ Seward, William Henry] в 1867 за 7,2 млн. долл., что составляет около 2 центов за акр земли. Регион развивался медленно вплоть до начала золотой лихорадки на Клондайке [ Klondike Gold Rush] 1896. Добыча нефти стала играть огромную роль с 1970-х гг. после открытия месторождений и прокладки Трансаляскинского трубопровода [ Trans-Alaska Pipeline]. Хотя штат один из наименее населенных в стране, в 1970-е годы сюда переехали многие новые жители, привлеченные вакансиями в нефтяной промышленности и на транспорте, а в 1980-е годы прирост населения составил более 36 процентов. Около 75 процентов населения белые, уроженцы США. В штате около 86 тыс. коренных жителей - индейцы [ Athabascan, Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian], эскимосы [ Eskimo] и алеуты [ Aleut]. В штате живет также небольшое число потомков русских. Среди основных религиозных групп - католики, православные, пресвитериане, баптисты и методисты. Последние 20 лет жители штата традиционно голосуют за республиканцев.
