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
