3 rational
•• rational, rationale, rationalize, rationalization
•• Rational 1. of reason or reasoning. 2. able to reason; having the faculty of reasoning. 3. sensible; that can be tested by reasoning.
•• Rationale fundamental reason, logical basis (of something) (A.S. Hornby).
•• Rationalize 1. to make logical and consistent. 2. to invent a rational explanation of. 3. to find false reasons for (irrational or unworthy behavior) (Oxford American Dictionary).
•• Слово rationalize имеет значение упорядочить, упорядочение (rationalization of UN procedures). В этом случае все довольно просто. Сложнее, когда это слово употребляется в значении подыскивать (рациональное) объяснение, пытаться оправдать что-либо рационально аргументировать. Дело в том, что чаще всего оно употребляется в этом значении в сугубо отрицательном контексте, а переводчик не всегда это чувствует. Вот характерный пример: In the non-election season, editors have willingly given their pages over to hidden advertising of all sorts, using myriad rationalizations to justify betraying their readers (Robert Coalson). – В год без выборов редакторы охотно предоставляют свои страницы для различных видов скрытой рекламы, прибегая ко всяческим уловкам, чтобы оправдать такое предательство интересов читателей. См. также generalize, generalization.
•• Слово rational часто соответствует русскому рациональный (rational discourse – рациональная/осмысленная речь), а вот в обратном направлении ситуация иная. Русское рациональный становится «ложным другом». Поэтому рациональная технология – efficient technology, рациональное решение – reasonable/appropriate solution (или decision, в зависимости от контекста).
•• Наконец, rationale (произносится ) – слово, которое не надо путать с rational. Оно означает принцип, лежащий в основе чего-то, аргументация, объяснение. В отличие от rationalization, rationale обычно не имеет отрицательного оттенка. Для иллюстрации возможных контекстуальных переводов приведу несколько примеров:
•• 1....the necessity to confront a choice between the geopolitical rationale and American capabilities (Henry Kissinger). – ...выбор между геополитическими целями и возможностями США;
•• 2. There was no political rationale for Britain to become involved (Henry Kissinger). – Для Великобритании не имело политического смысла втягиваться в это дело;
•• 3. Starr... defended [his methods]... But it was difficult to square that rationale with some of the questions [his] agents were asking (Time). – ...но эти утверждения (объяснения, аргументы) плохо увязываются с некоторыми вопросами, которые задавали его агенты;
•• 4. Most Americans understand the challenge Mr. Tung faces... Few, however, will understand the rationale of restricting democracy (Washington Post). – ...немногие, однако, согласятся с тем, что необходимо ограничить демократию.
