Por regla general, say simplemente {dice} y tell {informa} u {ordena hacer algo}. ► Decir generalmente se traduce por say en estilo directo. Normalmente no lleva un complemento de persona pero si se menciona a quién se está dirigiendo el hablante, el complemento de persona tiene que ir precedido por la preposición to: "Ya son las tres", dije "It's already three o'clock," I said "¡Qué tiempo más malo!" Eso fue lo único que me dijo "What awful weather!" That's all he said to me ► En estilo indirecto, decir se puede traducir por say cuando simplemente se cuenta lo que alguien ha dicho. Si say lleva complemento de persona, este se coloca después del complemento directo: Dijo que se tenía que marchar He said he had to leave Me dijo algo que no entendí He said something to me that I didn't understand ► Decir se traduce por tell cuando se {informa} o se {ordena hacer algo}. Suele llevar un objeto de persona sin la preposición to: Me dijo que tenía una entrevista de trabajo He told me he had a job interview ¡Te he dicho que no lo toques! I told you not to touch it! ► Hay algunos usos idiomáticos en los que decir se traduce por tell aunque no lleva complemento de persona. Por ejemplo: to tell the truth (decir la verdad) y to tell a lie (decir una mentira). Otros verbos ► Si decir va acompañado de un calificativo en español, a menudo se puede traducir al inglés por otros verbos que no sean say o tell: "Lo he perdido todo", dijo entre sollozos "I've lost everything," she sobbed Dijo con voz ronca algo sobre necesitar un médico He croaked something about needing a doctor Para otros usos y ejemplos ver la entrada Para otras expresiones con el participio, ver dicho.

USAGE:

(1.) Союз and употребляется в утвердительных и вопросительных предложениях. В отрицательных предложениях для объединения отдельных его частей употребляется сочетание never... or: She never writes or reads in the evening. По вечерам она и не пишет и не читает. (2.) Союз and реализует свои разные значения в зависимости от типов предложений и конкретных членов предложения, которые он соединяет: 1. Союз and 1.1 соединяет однородные члены предложения и целые предложения: (а.) если соединяемых частей больше двух, то and употребляется только перед последней, все остальные друг от друга отделяются запятой. Части сложносочиненных предложений, соединяемых союзом and, так же отделяются друг от друга запятой: We went into the mountains, and we stayed there for a few weeks. Если соединяемые сочетания содержат в своем составе одно и то же слово, то в последующих частях оно может быть опущено: In towns and (in) villages. В городах и деревнях. I really must try and (must) see him to-morrow. Мне совершенно необходимо попытаться повидаться завтра с ним. Однородные подлежащие, соединяемые союзом and, как правило, согласуются с глаголом-сказуемым в форме множественного числа: My friend and his sister are not on holiday; (б) союз and 1.2, соединяя однородные члены предложения, может образовывать сочетания, составляющие единое целое. Такие комплексные сочетания состоят часто из названий предметов питания и быта: подлежащие, состоящие из таких сочетаний, в отличие от общего правила (1 а.) согласуются с глаголом в единственном числе: Ham and eggs is his favorite breakfast. Яичница с ветчиной - его любимый завтрак. Подлежащие, состоящие из однородных существительных, соединенных союзом and и образующие единый комплекс, согласуются с глаголом в единственном числе так же в следующих случаях: • после наречий here, there, которые стоят в начале предложения и при инвертированном порядке слов: Here comes the old man and his son. Вот идут старик со своим внуком. Here is your hat and gloves. Вот они - ваши шляпа и перчатки. ср. Where are my hat and gloves? Где же мои шляпа и перчатки?; •• если однородные подлежащие, выражены инфинитивами (но не герундиями!): To travel and see other countries was what he dreamt of. Он мечтал путешествовать и повидать другие страны.; ••• если соединяемые союзом and слова относятся к одному и тому же лицу (тому же предмету, той же идее): The great scientist and social leader begins a new campaign. Этот великий ученый и общественный деятель начинает новую кампанию.; •••• два однородных определения, соединенные союзом and, могут относиться к одному и тому же существительному, образуя единую характеристику и в этом случае существительное стоит в форме единственного числа, а артикль употребляется только один раз: The black and white dress she had on was very becoming. На ней было черно-белое платье, которое ей очень шло. The famous composer and singer is going to give a series of concerts. Известный композитор и певец дает серию концертов. Однородные определения, относящиеся к разным лицам (предметам) употребляются с существительными во множественном числе и при повторении артикля перед каждым определением: The black and the white dresses were very becoming. Ей шли черные и белые платья. The famous composer and the famous singer are taking part in the contest. Известный композитор и известный певец участвуют в конкурсе.; (в) союз and 1.3 образует составные названия чисел и в этих случаях на русский язык не переводится: two hundred and twenty five двести двадцать пять. And также присоединяет дроби к целым числам и соответствует русским предлогам с, и: two and three quarters - 23/4 два и три четверти; four and a half 41/2 четыре с половиной. 2. Союз and, объединяя два инфинитива, используется вместо частицы to второго инфинитива: I decided to call him and warn him against going there. Я решил позвонить ему и предостеречь его от поездки. (3.) В разговорной речи с рядом глаголов, таких как to try, to go, to come, to stay, to stop, to watch союз and с последующим инфинитивом без частицы to образует императивные сочетания, которые обычно используются для выражения приглашения, предложения, увещевания. При этом такие сочетания описывают только одно действие и имеют значение цели. В большинстве случаев эти глаголы употребляются в данной конструкции в форме повелительного наклонения: Go and look at the timetable. Пойди, взгляни на расписание. Come and see us more often. Заходите к нам почаще. Let's go and play chess. Пойдемте, поиграем в шахматы. Let's wait and see. Поживем, увидим. Mind and bring the book. Не забудь принести книгу. Глаголы to try и to wait в данной конструкции обычно употребляются в форме Future: I'll try and answer the question. Я попытаюсь ответить на этот вопрос. I'll wait (I would rather wait) and see how things go. Я (лучше) посмотрю, как пойдут дела. I'll try and get some unsalted butter. Я попытаюсь раздобыть несоленое масло. (4.) Союз and в соединении с рядом слов образует сочетания с усилительным и эмоциональным значением: (а.) and 1.5 в сочетании с предшествующим глаголом to go в разговорной речи привносит в высказывание элемент неожиданности, внезапности, непредвиденности: The patient went and died on me. Мой пациент взял да и умер. When things seemed settled he went and left the country. Когда казалось, все было улажено, он вдруг взял и уехал из страны.; (б) присоединяет прилагательные nice и good к другим прилагательным, делает все высказывание усилительным: I'll go when I'm good and ready. Я поеду, когда буду совершенно готов. He was good and angry. Он был взбешен. The room was nice and cool. В комнате была приятная прохлада.; (в) соединяет два одинаковых слова, подчеркивает различие качества соединяемых слов: There are friends and friends. Есть друзья и друзья. /Друзья разные бывают. There are dogs and dogs, some mean, some friendly. Собаки разные бывают - одни злые, другие добры.; (г) соединяя два одинаковых слова, and 1.4 подчеркивает нарастающую степень качества (в случае прилагательных), длительности или повторности действий: They went on and on. Они шли все дальше и дальше. better and better все лучше и лучше; colder and colder все холоднее; hours and hours часами; He talked and talked. Он говорил безумолку. /Он вес говорил и говорил.; (д) в начале вопросительных предложений привносит элемент удивления (6.): And what of it? Что из этого? And did you say so? И неужели ты так сказал? (5.) Союз and присоединяет к высказанному положению слово или предложение логически непосредственно не связанное с предыдущим: She was cold and angry. Она замерзла и к тому же была сердита. (6.)
