15 grade
•• Grade 1. a steep or stage or degree in some rank, quality, or value. 2. a class of people or things of the same rank or quality, etc. 3. the mark given to a student for his standard of work. 4. gradient, slope (Oxford American Dictionary).
•• Распространенное слово, особенно в Америке. Так, grade school – это начальная школа. Grade одновременно и класс (My son is in first grade), и оценка (He gets good grades). В США оценки выставляются при помощи букв (А соответствует нашей «пятерке», В – «четверке» и т.д.). Grade point average – средний балл – учитывается при приеме в университет или колледж. Вступительных экзаменов по существу нет, проходит лишь нечто напоминающее наш «конкурс аттестатов», причем абитуриенты посылают свои документы только в те университеты, куда, как они чувствуют по своим оценкам, у них есть шанс пройти. Вообще все значения этого слова (оценка, качество, уровень и т.п.), несомненно, растут из одного смыслового корня. Интересно словосочетание из финансовой сферы investment grade, например, investment grade bonds – облигации высокого (инвестиционного) качества (в отличие от junk bonds – бросовые, «барахляные» облигации ненадежных эмитентов). Интересны и фразеологизмы со словом grade. Например, если о сотруднике говорят He doesn’t quite make the grade, то это ближе всего к русскому Он не тянет.
