83 тайна
сущ.Русское существительное тайна имеет близкий синоним секрет, и оба они могут употребляться в сходных ситуациях, обозначая нечто: 1) неясное, непонятное 2) неясное, скрытое. Английские эквиваленты разграничивают эти две сферы.1. mystery —тайна, непознанное, необъяснимое: The exact origin of the Earth remains a mystery. — Истинное происхождение Земли остается неразгаданной тайной. A woman with an air of mystery about her. — Женщина с какой-то тайной. His past is shrouded in mystery. — Его прошлое окутано тайной. David has always been a bit of a mystery. — В Дэвиде всегда была какая-то загадка. Не is a complete mystery to me. — Он для меня сплошная загадка.2. secret — тайна, секрет (то, что не хотят делать достоянием гласности, что предназначено для узкого круга или скрывается по этическим соображениям): to tell a secret — проболтаться/выдать секрет/выдать тайну; to make smth (a) secret — делать из чего-либо секрет/делать из чего-либо тайну; to keep a secret — хранить секрет; to keep smth secret — хранить что-либо в секрете/хранить что-либо втайне; to keep smth a secret from smb — держать что-либо в секрете от кого-либо; to let smb in/on a secret — раскрыть секрет кому-либо/доверить секрет кому-либо; to tell smb a secret — рассказать кому-либо по секрету /открыть кому-либо секрет Не was accused of selling business secrets to competitors. — Его обвинили в продаже секретов производства конкурентам. Your secret is safe with me. — Я не выдам вашего секрета. The secret is out. — Это уже не секрет./Это уже не тайна. It's open secret. — Это не секрет./Это секрет полишинеля. It is top secret. — Совершенно секретно. Существительное secret вызывает образ чего-либо закрытого или спрятанного так, чтобы никто не мог это найти; этот образ проявляется в ряде сочетаний: She accused him of covering up the truth. — Она обвинила его в том, что он не говорил ей правду./Она обвинила его в том, что он скрывал истину. They hid/concealed the truth as best as they could. — Они, как могли, скрывали правду. Не tried to mask/to camouflage his true feelings. — Он старался не обнаруживать свои истинные чувства./Он старался маскировать свои истинные чувства. She wanted to bury the memory of that day. — Ей хотелось похоронить воспоминания о том дне. We will throw a veil over what happened next. — Мы окутаем завесой то, что произошло потом./Мы скроем то, что произошло потом. The operation was cloaked/shrouded/vciled in secrecy. — Операцию держали в полном секрете./Информацня об операции была окутана тайной. You are just trying to paper over the problem. — Ты просто пытаешься скрыть проблему. They kept in dark that they were planning to leave next day. — Они не распространялись о своих планах уехать на следующий день./Они ничего не говорили о своих планах уехать на следующий день./Они темнили о своих планах уехать на следующий день. There has been a complete news black out. — Новости держались в большой тайне. This report is nothing but a whitewash: what really went on? — Это сообщение было ничем иным как попыткой приукрасить события: что же в действительности происходило? Раскрыть кому-либо секрет часто означает доверяться кому-либо, доверять что-либо кому-либо, что связано с глаголом confide и его производными: to tell smb smth confidently — сказать кому-либо по секрету что-либо; to speak in confidence — говорить по секрету/говорить конфиденциально; to tell smb smth in strict confidence — сообщить что-либо кому-либо под строжайшим секретом Не is my confidential friend. — Он мой близкий друг, я могу ему полностью довериться./Он мой близкий друг, я могу ему доверить все свои личные секреты. Сочетание to tell a secret ассоциируется с тем, как приподнимается занавес или снимается крышка с какой-либо емкости, что видно из следующих примеров: Не uncovered/revealed/exposed a terrible secret. — Он обнаружил ужасную тайну./Он раскрыл ужасную тайну. After a few minutes, she began to open up and talk about her family. — Через несколько минут она раскрылась и начала рассказывать о своей семье. You have always been very open about your feelings. — Вы всегда открыто выражали свои чувства./Вы никогда не держали в секрете своих чувств./ Вы никогда не скрывали своих чувств.

97 Radcliffe, William
SUBJECT AREA: Textiles[br]b. 1761 Mellor, Cheshire, Englandd. 1842 Mellor, Cheshire, England[br]English inventor of the sizing machine.[br]Radcliffe was brought up in the textile industry and learned carding and spinning as a child. When he was old enough, he became a weaver. It was a time when there were not enough weavers to work up all the yarn being spun on the recently invented spinning machines, so some yarn was exported. Radcliffe regarded this as a sin; meetings were held to prohibit the export, and Radcliffe promised to use his best endeavours to discover means to work up the yarn in England. He owned a mill at Mellor and by 1801 was employing over 1,000 hand-loom weavers. He wanted to improve their efficiency so they could compete against power looms, which were beginning to be introduced at that time.His first step was to divide up as much as possible the different weaving processes, not unlike the plan adopted by Arkwright in spinning. In order to strengthen the warp yarns made of cotton and to reduce their tendency to fray during weaving, it was customary to apply an adhesive substance such as starch paste. This was brushed on as the warp was unwound from the back beam during weaving, so only short lengths could be treated before being dried. Instead of dressing the warp in the loom as was hitherto done, Radcliffe had it dressed in a separate machine, relieving the weaver of the trouble and saving the time wasted by the method previously used. Radcliffe employed a young man names Thomas Johnson, who proved to be a clever mechanic. Radcliffe patented his inventions in Johnson's name to avoid other people, especially foreigners, finding out his ideas. He took out his first patent, for a dressing machine, in March 1803 and a second the following year. The combined result of the two patents was the introduction of a beaming machine and a dressing machine which, in addition to applying the paste to the yarns and then drying them, wound them onto a beam ready for the loom. These machines enabled the weaver to work a loom with fewer stoppages; however, Radcliffe did not anticipate that his method of sizing would soon be applied to power looms as well and lead to the commercial success of powered weaving. Other manufacturers quickly adopted Radcliffe's system, and Radcliffe himself soon had to introduce power looms in his own business.Radcliffe improved the hand looms themselves when, with the help of Johnson, he devised a cloth taking-up motion that wound the woven cloth onto a roller automatically as the weaver operated the loom. Radcliffe and Johnson also developed the "dandy loom", which was a more compact form of hand loom and was also later adapted for weaving by power. Radcliffe was among the witnesses before the Parliamentary Committee which in 1808 awarded Edmund Cartwright a grant for his invention of the power loom. Later Radcliffe was unsuccessfully to petition Parliament for a similar reward for his contributions to the introduction of power weaving. His business affairs ultimately failed partly through his own obstinacy and his continued opposition to the export of cotton yarn. He lived to be 81 years old and was buried in Mellor churchyard.[br]Bibliography1811, Exportation of Cotton Yarn and Real Cause of the Distress that has Fallen upon the Cotton Trade for a Series of Years Past, Stockport.1828, Origin of the New System of Manufacture, Commonly Called "Power-Loom Weaving", Stockport (this should be read, even though it is mostly covers Radcliffe's political aims).Further ReadingA.Barlow, 1870, The History and Principles of Weaving by Hand and by Power, London (provides an outline of Radcliffe's life and work).W.English, 1969, The Textile Industry, London (a general background of his inventions).
