↑ Subject1) it.Если логическим подлежащим предложения является синтаксический оборот или придаточное предложение, то, как правило, вместо него вводится формальное ("пустое") подлежащее it, а логическое подлежащее перемещается в конец предложения.а) Придаточное предложение (Subordinate clause).Формальное подлежащее it может употребляться, если логическим подлежащим является придаточное предложение (особенно если это придаточное является достаточно распространенным).It

В частности, it часто используется в инфинитивных оборотах, вводимых предлогом for (For- clause).It

surprised me your not remembering my name. — Меня удивило, что ты не помнишь моего имени.2) there.В предложениях, описывающих существование чего-либо, вводится формальное подлежащее there.а) Чаще всего сказуемым в таких предложениях бывает глагол be.

There aren't many of them about," she said. — "Их тут не так много", - сказала она.

8 McNeill, Sir James McFadyen
SUBJECT AREA: Ports and shipping[br]b. 19 August 1892 Clydebank, Scotlandd. 24 July 1964 near Glasgow, Scotland[br]Scottish naval architect, designer of the Cunard North Atlantic Liners Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth.[br]McNeill was born in Clydebank just outside Glasgow, and was to serve that town for most of his life. After education at Clydebank High School and then at Allan Glen's in Glasgow, in 1908 he entered the shipyard of John Brown \& Co. Ltd as an apprentice. He was encouraged to matriculate at the University of Glasgow, where he studied naval architecture under the (then) unique Glasgow system of "sandwich" training, alternately spending six months in the shipyard, followed by winter at the Faculty of Engineering. On graduating in 1915, he joined the Army and by 1918 had risen to the rank of Major in the Royal Field Artillery.After the First World War, McNeill returned to the shipyard and in 1928 was appointed Chief Naval Architect. In 1934 he was made a local director of the company. During the difficult period of the 1930s he was in charge of the technical work which led to the design, launching and successful completion of the great liners Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. Some of the most remarkable ships of the mid-twentieth century were to come from this shipyard, including the last British battleship, HMS Vanguard, and the Royal Yacht Britannia, completed in 1954. From 1948 until 1959, Sir James was Managing Director of the Clydebank part of the company and was Deputy Chairman by the time he retired in 1962. His public service was remarkable and included chairmanship of the Shipbuilding Conference and of the British Ship Research Association, and membership of the Committee of Lloyd's Register of Shipping.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsKnight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order 1954. CBE 1950. FRS 1948. President, Institution of Engineers and Shipbuilders in Scotland 1947–9. Honorary Vice-President, Royal Institution of Naval Architects. Military Cross (First World War).Bibliography1935, "Launch of the quadruple-screw turbine steamer Queen Mary", Transactions of the Institution of Naval Architects 77:1–27 (in this classic paper McNeill displays complete mastery of a difficult subject; it is recorded that prior to launch the estimate for travel of the ship in the River Clyde was 1,194 ft (363.9 m), and the actual amount recorded was 1,196 ft (364.5m)!).FMWBiographical history of technology > McNeill, Sir James McFadyen

18 -economy o economics?-
Nota d'usoIl sostantivo economia può essere tradotto con “economy” o “economics”, a seconda del contesto d'uso. Quando ci si riferisce alla disciplina di studio, il termine corretto è “economics”: Studia economia, she studies economics (non she studies economy). “Economics” è seguito dal verbo al singolare e non è preceduto dall'articolo: La micro-economia è una materia difficile, micro-economics is a difficult subject. Quando invece si parla dell'economia di un paese, o di un sistema economico si utilizza il sostantivo “economy”: L'economia britannica si sta riprendendo, the British economy is picking up. Il termine “economy” viene anche usato, specialmente al plurale, con il significato di risparmio: Dobbiamo fare economia, we need to make economies, anche se, in questo caso, si può ricorrere anche al verbo to economize: we need to economize. -
