Перевод конструкций типа «то, что» «чтобы»a) Сокращение и переосмыслениеСложность этого эксперимента заключается в том, что он требует длительного времени. – The problem with this experiment is that it requires a lot of time.Утешение было только в том, что он уезжал всего на несколько дней. – The only consolation was that he would be away for long/was leaving for only a few days.б) использование деепричастного оборота (это идиоматичнее и короче)Мы начали вечер с того, что предложили всем потанцевать. – We started the party/evening by suggesting/with the suggestion that everyone dance.Он начал с того, что лично познакомился со всеми.- Не began by introducing himself to everyone/by getting personally acquainted with everyone.в) Порой «чтобы» не переводится, и время глагола определяется контекстом:Я не видел, чтобы он чистил зубы. - I didn't see him brush his teeth/I never saw him brush his teeth.Я хочу, чтобы вы меня правильно поняли. - I want you to understand me correctly/to get what I mean.г) to + infinitive вместо довольно неуклюжей конструкции in order to или so as toЯ вернулся с тем, чтобы предупредить вас. - I came back to warn you.Я пришел не с тем, чтобы спорить с вами. - I didn't come to argue with you.д) Иногда можно заменить «чтобы» словами so that:Говори, чтобы все поняли. - Speak so that everyone understands/gets the point.11. Придаточные предложения, которые начинаются с «как» или с «как бы», можно перевести на английский с помощью условного наклонения или деепричастия.Я люблю смотреть, как он выступает. - I like watching him perform/I like to watch him perform/I like watching him performing.Он боялся, как бы не простудиться. - Не was afraid of catching cold/He was afraid he might/could catch cold.12. «He + инфинитив + бы» требует don't или see that X doesn't do Y.He простудиться бы! - Take care/I'll take care not to/See that you don't catch cold.He забыть бы его адрес! - See you don't/take care not to/be sure you don't/I mustn't/I must take care not to forget his address.13. перевод вида глаголаа) Переводчик должен постоянно иметь в виду, что в английском языке используются совершенно разные глаголы для передачи смысла обоих членов одной русской видовой пары, как, например, «сделать» и «делать»Что же делал Бельтов в продолжение этих десяти лет? Все или почти все. Что он сделал? Ничего или почти ничего. -What did Beltov do during these ten years? Everything or almost everything. What did he achieve?

He оправдывайся! - Don't try to justify yourselfl/Don't try to make excuses!с)Существует также целая категория особых глаголов, у которых несовершенный вид указывает на состояние, которое является результатом завершенного действия и передается совершенным видом.Я «понимаю» is the result of «я понял», and note that English "I understand" translates them both. The formal pair «разобраться/разбираться» are exactly the same; the verb in «я разобрался в этом» is an achievement with the change-of-state meaning characteristic of perfectives, while the verb in «я разбираюсь в этом» signals the state resulting from the achievement. They may both be translated as / understand, but the former means / have figured out (come to understand), while the latter means I understand (as a result of having figured out). These verbs belong to a very large group of perfectives whose change of state is inceptive, whose imperfectives denote the new, resulting state: «понял, понимаю, поверил, верю, понравиться, нравиться».14.

ГЛАГОЛ@16. Перевод деепричастий.а) Прошедшее время из русского языка нередко переходит в английский в качестве деепричастия.Мы видели, как дети купались в реке. We saw the children swimming in the river.б) Деепричастие настоящего времени подчас приходится переводить на английский прошедшим:Раза два в год бывал в Москве и, возвращаясь оттуда, рассказывал об этом. Не would visit/used to visit Moscow a couple of times a year, and after returning home/on his return home tell/would tell about it.в) Деепричастие прошедшего времени в некоторых случаях становится деепричастием и в настоящем:Сев за рояль, она заиграла вальс. - Sitting at the piano, she played a waltz.г) При переводе русских деепричастий бывает необходимым объяснение причинных или временных обстоятельств:Выслушав меня внимательно, вы быстро меня поймете.

"That's very funny," he said with a laugh.е) Так называемые «безличные» деепричастия, которые часто встречаются в Русских технических текстах, иногда заменяются существительными или перед ними вставляется предлог.Используя эти данные, можно приближенно предсказать процесс. - Use of this data allows us to make an approximate prediction of the process/By using this data, we can make...Изучая эту таблицу, легко видеть, что... - Study of this table makes it clear that.../In studying this table we clearly see that…17.

He оправдывайся! - Don't try to justify yourselfl/Don't try to make excuses!с)Существует также целая категория особых глаголов, у которых несовершенный вид указывает на состояние, которое является результатом завершенного действия и передается совершенным видом.Я «понимаю» is the result of «я понял», and note that English "I understand" translates them both. The formal pair «разобраться/разбираться» are exactly the same; the verb in «я разобрался в этом» is an achievement with the change-of-state meaning characteristic of perfectives, while the verb in «я разбираюсь в этом» signals the state resulting from the achievement. They may both be translated as / understand, but the former means / have figured out (come to understand), while the latter means I understand (as a result of having figured out). These verbs belong to a very large group of perfectives whose change of state is inceptive, whose imperfectives denote the new, resulting state: «понял, понимаю, поверил, верю, понравиться, нравиться».14.

Не would visit/used to visit Moscow a couple of times a year, and after returning home/on his return home tell/would tell about it.в) Деепричастие прошедшего времени в некоторых случаях становится деепричастием и в настоящем:Сев за рояль, она заиграла вальс. - Sitting at the piano, she played a waltz.г) При переводе русских деепричастий бывает необходимым объяснение причинных или временных обстоятельств:Выслушав меня внимательно, вы быстро меня поймете.

Переехав в собственную квартиру, он стал гораздо более самостоятельным человеком. - When/after he moved to his own apartment he became a lot more independent.д) В описательных деепричастных оборотах можно заменить деепричастие конструкцией «with + имя существительное»:Он сидел, закрыв глаза. - Не sat/was sitting with his eyes closed.«Это очень смешно!» — сказал он, засмеявшись. "That's very funny," he said with a laugh.е) Так называемые «безличные» деепричастия, которые часто встречаются в Русских технических текстах, иногда заменяются существительными или перед ними вставляется предлог.Используя эти данные, можно приближенно предсказать процесс. - Use of this data allows us to make an approximate prediction of the process/By using this data, we can make...Изучая эту таблицу, легко видеть, что... - Study of this table makes it clear that.../In studying this table we clearly see that…17.
