    INSANE, MAD, CRAZY
    Insane, mad и crazy могут взаимозаменяться в буквальном значении 'умалишенный, слабоумный, сумасшедший': insane person, mad person, crazy person. Mad обычно имеет в виду буйное помешательство, бешенство (также о животных: mad dog, mad bull). Crazy в буквальном значении встречается реже, чем insane и mad, и часто имеет фамильярный оттенок. Insane, mad и crazy могут употребляться метафорически. Insane означает 'безрассудный, бессмысленный': insane hopes, insane spite, insane wars. Crazy в этом значении чаще всего характеризует планы, проекты (всегда с оттенком неодобрения, презрения): crazy scheme, crazy project, Hitler's crazy plans of conquering the world. Crazy в сочетании с существительными idea, notion часто соответствует русскому 'заумный'. В метафорическом значении 'сумасшедший' crazy имеет оттенок снисходительной иронии: "Papa, You Are Crazy" (название романа Сарояна). Crazy также означает 'обезумевший, потерявший рассудок' (от горя, радости, волнения): to be crazy with grief, to be crazy with anxiety. В сходном метафорическом значении встречается mad: to be mad with pain, to be mad with joy. Mad и crazy в последнем случае употребляются только предикативно.

  • 15 insane

    INSANE, MAD, CRAZY
    Insane, mad и crazy могут взаимозаменяться в буквальном значении 'умалишенный, слабоумный, сумасшедший': insane person, mad person, crazy person. Mad обычно имеет в виду буйное помешательство, бешенство (также о животных: mad dog, mad bull). Crazy в буквальном значении встречается реже, чем insane и mad, и часто имеет фамильярный оттенок. Insane, mad и crazy могут употребляться метафорически. Insane означает 'безрассудный, бессмысленный': insane hopes, insane spite, insane wars. Crazy в этом значении чаще всего характеризует планы, проекты (всегда с оттенком неодобрения, презрения): crazy scheme, crazy project, Hitler's crazy plans of conquering the world. Crazy в сочетании с существительными idea, notion часто соответствует русскому 'заумный'. В метафорическом значении 'сумасшедший' crazy имеет оттенок снисходительной иронии: "Papa, You Are Crazy" (название романа Сарояна). Crazy также означает 'обезумевший, потерявший рассудок' (от горя, радости, волнения): to be crazy with grief, to be crazy with anxiety. В сходном метафорическом значении встречается mad: to be mad with pain, to be mad with joy. Mad и crazy в последнем случае употребляются только предикативно.
