CHOICE OF WODS:

(1.) Русскому существительному граница в английском языке соответствуют существительные border, boundary, frontier, обозначающие территориальное разделение двух районов, которые различаются и по содержанию, и по употреблению. Border и frontier могут обозначать территориальное разделение между странами, государствами. Boundary используется, когда речь идет о границе между более мелкими территориями - деревнями, фермами, штатами: the boundary between our farms (between these villages, between these towns) граница между нашими фермами (между этими деревнями, между этими городами). Кроме того, boundary предполагает вполне определенные географические пределы, признаваемые и соблюдаемые обеими сторонами. Boundaries используется, когда пределы сопряженных территорий определены достаточно точно и могут быть нанесены на карту: the boundary between our farms followed the line of the river граница между нашими фермами шла вдоль реки. Frontier в отличие как от border, так и boundary, имеет более специфическое значение и предполагает укрепленную, охраняемую разделительную полосу с действующим паспортным режимом и таможенной службой. (2.) Border - наиболее общее название из этих трех и нередко включает в себя значение существительного boundary. Однако border в отличие от boundary и frontier обозначает не только разделительную линию, но и прилегающие территории по обе стороны этой линии и входит, поэтому, в такие сочетания, как: border towns (zone) пограничные города (пограничная зона); to live not far from the border жить недалеко от границы; a strongly guarded border хорошо охраняемая граница. (3.) Frontier может быть укреплена минным полем, проволочным заграждением со стороны одной страны, что не предполагает таких же укреплений со стороны другой. Поэтому предпочтительно сочетание типа: France's Italian frontier или Russia's Polish frontier, а не the frontier between France and Italy или the frontier between Russia and Poland

n граница; on the border — на границе Русскому существительному граница соответствуют в английском языке border, boundary, frontier. Border и frontier могут обозначать границу территорий стран. Boundary обозначает границу меньших территорий — деревень, ферм, штатов: the boundary between our farms (between these villages, between these towns). Существительное boundary предполагает определенность географических пределов, признаваемую соседствующими сторонами, которая достаточна, чтобы быть зафиксированной картографически:
The boundary between our farms followed the line of the river — Граница между нашими фермами шла вдоль реки.
Слово frontier, в отличие от border и boundary, имеет более специализированное значение — оно предполагает укрепленную и охраняемую разделительную полосу с действующим паспортным режимом и таможенной службой. Объект frontier может быть укреплен только с одной стороны и не предполагает укреплений с другой, поэтому сочетание типа France's Italian (Italy's French или Russia's Polish) frontier предпочтительнее, чем the frontier between France and Italy. Border нередко может обозначать то же, что и существительное boundary. Однако border, в отличие от двух других слов, обозначает не только разделительную линию, но и прилегающие территории по обе стороны этой линии. Поэтому оно входит в такие сочетания, как
border towns (zone) — пограничные города (-ая зона);

to live not far from the border — жить недалеко от границы;

a strongly guarded border — хорошо охраняемая граница;

border incedents — пограничные инциденты.

7 Tagus, River

The Tagus (Rio Tejo in Portugal, Rio Tajo in Spain) is the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula. It rises in east-central Spain, east of Madrid, and flows west across Spain to the Portuguese border for about 60 kilometers (36 miles), forming a section of the Luso-Spanish border, then turns southwest and enters the Atlantic at Lisbon. The Tagus estuary is an important harbor resource. About 16 kilometers (10 miles) above Lisbon, the Tagus burgeons into a 11 kilometer (7-mile-wide) lagoon that narrows at Lisbon to a channel of some 3 kilometers (2 miles) wide and 18 kilometers (8 miles) long, blocked in part by a sand bar. The Tagus is navigable as far as the town of Abrantes, roughly 240 kilometers (146 miles) upriver. In tradition and history, this river acts as a kind of dividing line between north and south Portugal, each with its different regions and features.
