BRIEF, SHORTBrief и short могут взаимозаменяться, когда они характеризуют протяженность во времени и означают 'короткий, непродолжительный': brief report и short report, brief interview и short interview, причем short, в отличие от brief, в некоторых случаях предполагает не только краткость, но незавершенность, незаконченность, внезапную остановку. Short может также характеризовать протяженность в пространстве: short distance, short way off, short stick, short dress. Brief в таких сочетаниях не употребляется.Difficulties of the English language (lexical reference) English-Russian dictionary > brief
