4 weapons of mass disruption
•• * Выражение weapons of mass disruption активно вводит в оборот известный политолог Грэм Аллисон. Речь идет о «грязной бомбе» – одном из видов радиологического оружия. Согласно определению Аллисона (привожу по сайту NOVA), the differences between a dirty bomb and a nuclear bomb are profound. A dirty bomb is not a nuclear bomb even though it uses radioactive material. While a nuclear bomb is surely a weapon of mass destruction, a dirty bomb is at best a weapon of mass disruption.
•• Статус этого выражения не совсем ясен – можно ли говорить, что оно уже вошло в язык? Похоже, это происходит. Вот оно же в применении к интернетовской проблематике:
•• Computers and the Internet are part of our national infrastructure, and while it’s unlikely, though not impossible, that anyone would die as a result of a hack attack, it could seriously disrupt commerce and communications. WMD has a new meaning. Hack attacks, worms and viruses are Weapons of Mass Disruption.
•• В тексте последнее слово выделено, что означает некоторую необычность выражения.
•• Как и всякую игру слов, это выражение нелегко перевести. Видимо, придется выбирать между оружием массового воздействия/ разложения/ потрясения или массовой дезорганизации. В конечном счете что-то «зацепится» в периодике.
