13 satisfy

•• Satisfy 1. to give (a person) what he wants or demands or needs, to make pleased or contented.... 3. to provide with sufficient proof, to convince (Oxford American Dictionary).

•• Это предупреждение можно найти в словарях и учебниках, но не грех повторить его в нашем несистематическом словаре: satisfied that и удовлетворен тем, что – это не одно и то же. Помимо значения make someone contented, give someone what he needs, глагол to satisfy имеет значение to convince. Пример из словаря Хорнби: He satisfied me that he could do the work well. Пример из текущей прессы: The company [McDonald’s] declared itself satisfied that it had defended its good name (International Herald Tribune). В первом случае перевод не вызывает трудностей: я убедился, что... или он убедил меня в том, что... Во втором случае есть соблазн воспользоваться словом удовлетворение. Но гораздо лучше: Компания заявила, что она отстояла свою репутацию и считает инцидент исчерпанным.
•• Еще один интересный пример из International Herald Tribune: The special commission has yet to be satisfied that the missiles, the VX and a number of other items are accounted for. – У специальной комиссии нет полной уверенности в том, что она получила полную информацию о судьбе ракет, газа «ви-экс» и ряда других видов оружия.
