    Medical Pregnancy
    I've got something important to tell you. Ho una cosa importante da dirti.
    I'm expecting a baby! Aspetto un bambino!
    You're kidding! Stai scherzando!
    Congratulations, that's wonderful news. Congratulazioni, che bella notizia.
    When did you find out you were pregnant? Quando hai scoperto di essere incinta?
    I went to the doctor yesterday and she told me I was definitely pregnant. Sono andata dal medico ieri e mi ha detto che sono sicuramente incinta.
    I'd done a couple of home tests but needed to make sure. Ho fatto un paio di test a casa ma volevo essere sicura.
    How far gone are you? A che mese sei?
    The doctor reckons I'm six weeks pregnant. Il dottore pensa che sia incinta di sei settimane.
    What was David's reaction? Come ha reagito David?
    I haven't told him yet, I'll tell him tonight. Ancora non gliel'ho detto, glielo dico stasera.
    The news hasn't sunk in yet, I'm still in shock. Non ho ancora realizzato la notizia, sono ancora sotto shock.

    When is the baby due? Per quando è prevista la nascita?
    Is it a boy or a girl? È maschio o femmina?

  • 83 although

    cj хотя, несмотря на, если бы, даже (1). В отличие от русских уступительных предложений, которые допускают два союза (как, например, Хотя он занят, но вас он примет), в английских соответствующих предложениях употребляется только один союз при соединении двух предложений:

    Although he is very busy, he will see you.

    (2). Подлежащее в уступительных придаточных предложениях может быть опущено. В этих случаях вместо личной формы глагола употребляется причастие или прилагательное:

    Although (though) very tired she went on reading.

    (3). Although и though могут соединять не только предложения, но и пассивные причастные обороты и слова, в частности прилагательные и наречия:

    He did the task well, although slowly.

    Her appointment was a significant, although temporary success.

    (4). Уступительные придаточные могут вводиться, кроме союзов although и though, союзами while, whereas, if, even though, even if. После союзов while, if, even if формы будущего времени не употребляются:

    Even if it takes me three months, I have made up my mind to finish the job — Даже если мне потребуется три месяца, я решил закончить эту работу.

    If she is foolish she is at any rate pleasant to look at — Пусть она глупа, но на нее, по крайней мере, приятно смотреть.

    (5). Значение уступительности, обычно передаваемое союзами although и though, может быть передано эмфатическим оборотом с союзом as и обязательным инвертированным порядком слов:

    Stupid as it sounds, but… — Хотя это может быть и звучит глупо, но я… Как бы глупо это ни звучало…

    I had to accept the fact improbable as it was — Я должен был признать этот факт, каким бы невероятным он ни казался.

    (6). Союз though может стоять в конце простого предложения, следующего за другим простым предложением, тесно связанным с ним по смыслу. Конечное though соответствует русским тем не менее, все же, все равно, все-таки:

    He didn't tell me where he had been, but I know, though — Он не сказал мне, где он был, но я все равно знаю.

    В такой же функции может употребляться наречие however как в конечной, так и начальной позиции:

    He is very busy. He will see you, however.

    (7). Значение уступительности также передаются местоимениями и наречиями с компонентом ever — however, whoever, whatever, wherever, whenever. Эти слова придают оттенок дополнительной возможности:

    Whoever told you this was wrong — Кто бы тебе это ни сказал, он был не прав.

    However often I tried I couldn't find the answer — Сколько бы я ни старался, я не мог найти ответа.

    (8). Значение уступительности также передается оборотом no matter what (how, when):

    No matter what he did, no one paid any attention to it — Что бы он ни делал, никто не обращал на это внимания.

    (9). See after, cj.

  • 84 kick the bucket

    жарг.
    умереть, загнуться, окочуриться; ≈ сыграть в ящик, дать дуба, протянуть ноги, отдать концы [bucket здесь предположительно перекладина, на которую подвешивают на бойне свиную тушу. Согласно другому объяснению bucket ведро, которое отталкивает ногами самоубийца, собирающийся повеситься]

    He did not talk to them; they had already been told exactly what each of them was to do, and who was to do what in case the first-choice man kicked the bucket or was otherwise out. (S. Heym, ‘The Crusaders’, book III, ch. 8) — Он не разговаривал с ними; им уже было сказано, что кому делать и кого заменять, если соседа ухлопают или ранят.

  • 91 the whore of Babylon

    презр.

    What told you it was a Church was the steeple which rose from the front center; a square tower, with a round cylinder on top of that, there a smaller cube and then a very sharp and tall pyramid on that. Topping all was a lightning rod; but no cross - that would have meant idolatry, the "whole of Babylon" - in short, a Catholic Church. (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch. 20) — О том, что это церковь, говорила только колокольня, вздымавшаяся фасадом, - прямоугольная башня, на ней цилиндр, на цилиндре - куб, поменьше диаметром, а на кубе очень высокая и острая пирамида. Венчалось все это громоотводом - но не крестом; крест означал бы идолопоклонство, "вавилонскую блудницу" - одним словом, католическую церковь.

        She had been told of what had happened, and had been given her walking papers, everyone concurring in the impossibility of her staying in a firm her brother had robbed (S. O'Casey).
