7 gravitas
•• * Замечательное слово, отсутствующее в большинстве словарей. С развертыванием предвыборной кампании в США оно все чаще появляется в периодике. Вот пример из журнала Time:
•• John Edwards: A charismatic newcomer seemed just what the [Democratic] party was looking for – until 9/11 put a premium on gravitas.
•• Это наиболее частый контекст употребления этого слова, но иногда оно относится не только к людям:
•• With its black marble gravitas, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington tells the anguished story of how America got sucked in deeper and deeper, with the death toll rising along with the memorial’s V-shaped design. (New York Times)
•• American Heritage Dictionary дает следующее определение: 1. Substance; weightiness: a frivolous biography that lacks the gravitas of its subject. 2. A serious or dignified demeanor: “Our national father figure needs gravitas, [but] he’s pitched himself as the kid brother.” (John Leo, Mother Jones).
•• По существу значение одно, и его неплохо, на мой взгляд, схватывает определение в онлайновом словаре www.dictionary.com: High seriousness (as in a person’s bearing or in the treatment of a subject).
•• Интересные рассуждения об этом слове – на сайте www.quinion.com (Michael Quinion writes about international English from a British viewpoint):
•• Ever since George W. Bush picked Richard Cheney as his running mate, the candidates in the American presidential race have been vying to see who can demonstrate the greatest gravitas, or appearance of dignity and seriousness. The Washington Times earlier this month called it the “ gravitas gambit,” and Rush Limbaugh has been having fun playing recordings to illustrate how it has become the media buzzword of the campaign.
•• <...> A weighty word indeed, the opposite of levity, a lightness that causes bodies to rise, a tendency for people to exhibit lightweight attitudes. <...>
•• In the past couple of decades, it has become accepted as a proper English word, is now printed without the italics, and has become more popular. There are signs that it is losing some of its force: a headline in the financial pages of the Daily Telegraph last month shouted that “ Vodafone provides the gravitas,” meaning only that the mobile phone company’s excellent share performance was propping up the stock market.
•• Иногда определение (через синонимию) дается в тексте, как, например, в ироничной статье в Princeton Packet Online:
•• In an effort to be included within the spirit of inclusion characterizing the upcoming presidential election. I contracted with myself to do a poll asking whether the town of Princeton has “gravitas.” Defined as reservedness, dignity, good taste, legitimacy, propriety, seriousness, thoughtful decision-making, gravitas is being touted as a crucial quality for those who intend to lead America into the 21st century.
•• При большом разбросе контекстов и оттенков значения предложить варианты перевода для словаря не так просто. У меня есть подозрение, что наши политологи и журналисты могут соблазниться на прямое заимствование. Хотя, по-моему, неплохо основательность, собственный вес, иногда просто серьезность или достоинство. В контексте возможны и другие варианты, например, Our national father figure needs gravitas. – Человек, претендующий на роль отца нации, должен быть тяжеловесом (вспоминается «политический тяжеловес» – так в трудную для себя минуту охарактеризовал президент Ельцин В.С.Черномырдина).
•• Как часто бывает, может выручить антонимический перевод:
•• And we want to tell our readers about sharp, clever books, utterly lacking in gravitas, that we know will delight them on the beach or the bus. (Benjamin Schwarz. Some of the best books of 2001) – Мы хотим рассказать о книгах, написанных бойко и толково, но при этом совершенно легковесных, которые наверняка доставят вам удовольствие на пляже или в автобусе.
•• Пожалуй, часто подойдет слово солидность – ведь его можно употребить и в отношении людей, и в отношении предметов и явлений.
•• Самый первый пример – из New York Times – пожалуй, и самый трудный. Можно попробовать, например:
•• Исполненный торжественного достоинства, вашингтонский мемориал ветеранов войны во Вьетнаме, с его V-образными стелами из черного мрамора, служит тревожным напоминанием о том, как Америка все глубже втягивалась в войну, как день за днем росло число погибших.
•• Vodafone provides the gravitas – судя по объяснению Квиниона, Водафон удерживает рынок.
