64 war of choice
•• war of choice, of necessity
•• * Из телерепортажа NBC News: Mr. Bush defended the invasion of Iraq, saying it was a “ war of necessity”. Это словосочетание существует не само по себе, а, как правило, в антонимической паре с a war of choice. См., например, название статьи бывшего зам. министра обороны США Л. Корба в Washington Post A War of Choice or of Necessity? Вот две цитаты из этой статьи:
•• Eight months after the Bush administration got us involved in a bloody war in Iraq, we are now told by one of Secretary of State Colin L. Powell’s closest advisers that Iraq was a war of choice after all. <...> On Nov. 4 Wolfowitz stated: “But one of the things that Sept. 11 changed was that it made it a war of necessity, not a war of choice.”
•• A war of necessity в принципе можно перевести как необходимая война, но хотелось бы сохранить эффект антонимии, т.е. нужно «зеркальное» прилагательное для перевода a war of choice. Необязательная война, по-моему, не годится. На мой взгляд, предпочтителен несколько тяжеловесный, но точный вариант война, которой можно [ было] избежать (кстати, так называлась книга Е.М. Примакова о первой войне в Заливе). Тогда a war of necessity – неизбежная война. И все же перевод высказывания Вольфовица не так прост. Может быть, так: Но после 11 сентября у нас уже не было выбора – этой войны просто нельзя было избежать. Возможно и сохранение антонимии в лаконичном варианте: ...война стала для нас не выбором, а обязанностью.
•• Интересно словосочетание a war president. Пример из статьи Дж. Уилла в Washington Post A War President’s Job:
•• Since Sept. 11, 2001, Americans have been told that they are at war. They have not been told what sacrifices, material and emotional, they must make to sustain multiple regime changes and nation-building projects. Telling such truths is part of the job description of a war president.
•• Поскольку варианты военный президент (или президент войны) и президент страны, находящейся в состоянии войны не подходят (один неверен, другой слишком длинен), приходится остановиться на варианте президент военного времени. Кстати, встречается и wartime president:
•• Bush must now choose if he will be a wartime president like his father – or unlike his father and like Ronald Reagan. (www.americasvoices.org)
•• Сам Буш предпочитает war president, так что мы имеем дело, по крайней мере отчасти, с «самоназванием»:
•• Mr Bush said he was a “ war president” and the top issue for voters should be the use of American power in the world. <...> “I’m a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign policy matters with war on my mind,” he said. (BBC) -«Я президент военного времени. Сидя в Овальном кабинете и принимая решения по внешней политике, я должен учитывать, что идет война».

65 must-have
1 nounmust ma must-have product un mustWe have all talked about customer satisfaction and JD Powers may be measuring it, but being successful in a tight economy requires it. The Consumer Confidence Index does not establish your customers' need for a new home but it does put more pressure on how their money will be spent. Being the builder of a must-have product rather than a "choice" is absolutely essential as the willingness to make a major financial investment is now a more difficult commitment for today's consumer.
