2 before you can say Jack Robinson

разг.

(before you can (или could) say Jack Robinson (тж. before you can или could say knife))

немедленно, моментально; сразу же, тут же; ≈ в два счёта, в мгновение ока; и опомниться или ахнуть не успел; не успел и глазом моргнуть

The equipage dashed forward, and before you could say Jack Robinson, with a rattle and flourish drew up at Soames's door. (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Man of Property’, part II, ch. III) — Экипаж рванулся вперед и в мгновение ока с грохотом подкатил к дому Сомса.

Look here, my boy, when you're in my hotel you behave like a gentleman or you'll find yourself in the street before you can say knife. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Pool’) — Послушайте, любезный, когда вы находитесь в моей гостинице, извольте вести себя как подобает порядочному человеку, а не то и оглянуться не успеете, как я вышвырну вас на улицу.

I once saw one of the beasts stop at a stall of fruit and vegetables and before you could say "knife" it had cleared the place from end to end... (A. J. Cronin, ‘Hatter's Castle’, book III, ch. I) — Я раз видел, как одна корова остановилась у прилавка с фруктами и овощами, я и опомниться не успел, как она мигом очистила весь прилавок...

Mrs. Maginnis put a match to the stove. ‘Nice hot tea before you can say knife,’ she called to nobody, as she filled the kettle. (P. H. Johnson, ‘This Bed Thy Centre’, ch. I) — Миссис Магиннис наполнила чайник водой и, поставив его на плиту, сказала, ни к кому не обращаясь: - Как славно: не успеешь и глазом моргнуть, готов отличный горячий чай.

YOU When translating you, even though you often need not use the pronoun itself, you will have to choose between using familiar tú/vosotros verb forms and the polite usted/ ustedes ones. ► In Spain, use tú and the plural vosotros/ vosotras with anyone you call by their first name, with children and younger adults. Use usted/ ustedes with people who are older than you, those in authority and in formal contexts. ► In Latin America usage varies depending on the country and in some places only the usted forms are used. Where the tú form does exist, only use it with people you know very well. In other areas vos, used with verb forms that are similar to the vosotros ones, often replaces tú. This is standard in Argentina and certain Central American countries while in other countries it is considered substandard. Use ustedes for all cases of you in the plural.

•

USAGE and CHOICE OF WORDS:

(1.) Русскому предлогу перед соответствуют английские before (реже) и in front of (чаще). В значении места before чаще сочетается с одушевленными существительными: they looked straight before them они смотрели прямо перед собой; I am before you я перед вами; your name in the list comes before mine в списке ваша фамилия стоит перед моей; the post-office is one stop before the station почта находится в одной остановке от вокзала; it happened before my very eye(right before my eyes) это произошло прямо у меня на глазах. Предлог in front of обозначает пространственное отношение, подчеркивая близость некоторых предметов или их последовательность (в очереди, в ряду): there was a small boy in front of me in the cinema line в очереди в кино передо мной был маленький мальчик; there was a slow fruck in front of us and we couldn't get ahead of it on that narrow road перед нами медленно двигался грузовик, и на этой узкой дороге мы не могли его обогнать. In front of соответствует также русскому лицом к: I found myself in front of a huge temple я оказался перед громадным собором. (2.) Before, а также behind, beside в отличие от русских перед, позади, рядом не употребляются перед возвратными местоимениями. В английском языке употребляется объектная форма личного местоимения: the boy was pushing a toy car before him мальчик толкал игрушечную машину перед собой; he closed the door behind him он закрыл за собой дверь. (3.) Ни before, ни in front of не употребляются при указании места на противоположной стороне чего-либо (улицы, дороги, реки). В этих случаях употребляются предлоги opposite или facing: the bookshop is opposite my house книжный магазин находится на противоположной стороне улицы/перед моим домом/напротив моего дома; the boys stood facing (opposite) each other мальчики стояли, друг перед другом/друг против друга/лицом к лицу. (4.) Письма часто заканчиваются фразой: hope to see you (to get the answer) before too long надеюсь вскоре тебя увидеть (получить от тебя письмо).
III [bɪ'fɔː]
1) прежде чем, раньше, чем; пока не, до того как, до

I shall see him before he leaves. — Я повидаю его до его отъезда.

Say goodbye before you go. — Попрощайтесь перед уходом.

It will be some time before we know the full results. — Окончательные результаты будут известны только через некоторое время.

2) скорее, чем

He will die before he yields. — Он скорее умрёт, чем сдастся.

He will die before he will tell them what they want to know. — Он скорее умрет, но не скажет им то, что они хотят знать.

•

CHOICE OF WORDS:

(1.) Русским пока не, до соответствуют before, until и till, значения которых различны. Союз before относит действие к моменту, предшествующему началу следующего за ним действия, в то время как until/till - относят действие к прошлому и обозначают продолжение действия до начала другого: They have been told everything before I got there. Им все рассказали до того, как я туда добрался. We have another ten minutes before the train leaves. У нас есть еще 10 минут до отхода поезда. Get out of here before I call the police. Убирайся отсюда, пока я вызвал полицию. I stayed there until he came. Я пробыл там до тех пор, пока он не пришел. ср. I shall see him before he leaves. Я повидаюсь с ним до его отъезда. (2.) В придаточных времени, вводимых before, не употребляются формы будущего времени глагола. Вместо них употребляются формы Present и Past. (3.) See after, cj; USAGE (1.).

Arabic-English glossary > before
19 Usage note : you

In English you is used to address everybody, whereas French has two forms: tu and vous. The usual word to use when you are speaking to anyone you do not know very well is vous. This is sometimes called the polite form and is used for the subject, object, indirect object and emphatic pronoun:

would you like some coffee?

= voulez-vous du café?

can I help you?

= est-ce que je peux vous aider?

what can I do for you?

= qu’est-ce que je peux faire pour vous?

The more informal pronoun tu is used between close friends and family members, within groups of children and young people, by adults when talking to children and always when talking to animals ; tu is the subject form, the direct and indirect object form is te (t’ before a vowel) and the form for emphatic use or use after a preposition is toi:

would you like some coffee?

= veux-tu du café?

can I help you?

= est-ce que je peux t’aider?

there’s a letter for you

= il y a une lettre pour toi

As a general rule, when talking to a French person use vous, wait to see how they address you and follow suit. It is safer to wait for the French person to suggest using tu. The suggestion will usually be phrased as on se tutoie? or on peut se tutoyer?

Note that tu is only a singular pronoun and vous is the plural form of tu.

Remember that in French the object and indirect object pronouns are always placed before the verb:

she knows you

= elle vous connaît or elle te connaît

In compound tenses like the present perfect and the past perfect, the past participle agrees in number and gender with the direct object:

I saw you on Saturday

(to one male: polite form)

= je vous ai vu samedi

(to one female: polite form)

= je vous ai vue samedi

(to one male: informal form)

= je t’ai vu samedi

(to one female: informal form)

= je t’ai vue samedi

(to two or more people, male or mixed)

= je vous ai vus samedi

(to two or more females)

= je vous ai vues samedi

When you is used impersonally as the more informal form of one, it is translated by on for the subject form and by vous or te for the object form, depending on whether the comment is being made amongst friends or in a more formal context:

you can do as you like here

= on peut faire ce qu’on veut ici

these mushrooms can make you ill

He smiled at me as cheery as you please, and I dared not stir my lips for fear I would break out into a shivering fit. (J. Conrad, ‘Lord Jim’, ch. V) — Мой друг, как ни в чем не бывало, весело улыбнулся мне, а я не смел разжать губы, боясь, что меня затрясет.

Here was this boy of his, who had been playing with clockwork trains on the floor only the day before yesterday, so to speak, and now he could talk in this strain, as cool as you please... (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. IX) — Ведь это его сын, его мальчик, который, кажется, вчера еще играл на полу, пуская заводной игрушечный поезд. И вот теперь, в эту тяжелую минуту, он держит себя с таким хладнокровием...

And the story was a good little story; it had all the right elements in it, the good-looking boy, the mysterious beautiful woman, the wild nights at the flat, the last fatal scene, the subsequent revelations and the moral of it all; it was as neat as you please. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Wonder Hero’, ch. II) — Сама по себе эта маленькая трагедия была очень неплоха. Она содержала все необходимые компоненты: молодого человека приятной наружности, таинственную красавицу, безумные ночи в ее доме, заключительную роковую сцену, дальнейшие разоблачения и вытекающую из всего этого мораль, - лучшего и желать нечего.
