62 not ready for prime time
•• * В одной из статей о перспективах установления демократического режима в Ираке встретилась следующая фраза: Perhaps it won’t work. Maybe the Iraqis are not ready for prime time yet. Вспомнились 1970-е годы, Чеви Чейс, покойные Джон Белуши и Гилда Раднер, передача Saturday Night Live на NBC. Если еще сравнительно недавно это выражение можно было считать аллюзией или своего рода цитатой, то сейчас это, на мой взгляд, вошедшее в язык фразеологическое сочетание. Пока его удалось найти включенным только во Free Online Dictionary of Computing:
•• Not ready for prime time: Usable, but only just so; not very robust; for internal use only. Said of a program or device. <...> This term comes from the ensemble name of the original cast of “ Saturday Night Live,” the “Not Ready for Prime Time Players.”
•• Действительно, это выражение часто используется в материалах по компьютерной тематике. Например:
•• Web Services: Not Ready for Prime Time <...> had sound and X-server config problems – again, on the desktop, not ready for prime time.
•• Но оно все чаще встречается и в других контекстах. Вот заголовок статьи о новом подсластителе:
•• Stevia: Not Ready For Prime Time. More Research Needed To Answer Safety Questions About “ Natural” Sweetener.
•• И, наконец, проникновение в политическую лексику, отмеченное выше.
•• Еще пример – заголовок полемической статьи о кандидате на пост губернатора одного из штатов:
•• Candidate Not Ready for Prime Time. И далее в тексте: It has become clear that she is not ready to govern the state.
•• В технических текстах перевести это выражение можно при помощи русского довести до ума ( новое изделие еще нужно довести до ума или просто нуждается в доводке). В заголовке Linux in China: Not Ready for Prime Time подойдет условия еще не созрели. Не созрели хорошо и в политическом контексте, но иногда придется добавить косвенное дополнение. В первом примере: Возможно, иракцы еще не созрели для демократии. В последнем: Кандидат еще не созрел можно добавить для большой политики.
