- there is no use doing smth2) польза, смыслWhat is the use of it? — Какая польза от этого? /Какой толк в этом?
II [juːz]It is no use crying over spilt milk. — ◊ Пролитого да прожитого не воротишь. /Что о том тужить, чего не воротишь. /Что с возу упало, то пропало. /Снявши голову, по волосам не плачут
1) употреблять, пользоваться, применять- use smth- use words2) только в конструкции used to do smth иметь обыкновение что-либо делать (в прошлом)He used to ask me a lot of questions. — Он, бывало, засыпал меня вопросами.
There used to be a house here. — Тут когда-то стоял дом.
We used to go to school together. — Мы когда-то учились вместе.
•USAGE:(1.) Конструкция used to do smth обозначает неоднократно повторявшееся действие или состояние в отдаленном прошлом, которое к настоящему моменту прекратилось. Она чаще всего употребляется в утвердительных предложениях: He used to play foot-ball when he was a boy. Он когда-то играл в футбол, когда был мальчиком (а сейчас не играет). He used to drive a car. Он, бывало, водил машину (а сейчас не водит). Вопросительные и отрицательные предложения с оборотом used to do smth образуются как со вспомогательным глаголом do, так и без него: Did you use to play football? или Used you to play football?; I did not use to go to the theatre или I used not to go to the theatre. Однако вместо отрицательной конструкции, чаще используется наречие never: I never used to smoke. Я никогда не курил. В отличие от оборота used to do smth, конструкция would do smth, имеющая сходное значение, относится только к действиям, которые неоднократно повторялись в прошлом, но не подразумевает, что позднее эти действия прекратились: On Sundays he would get up early and go for a walk. По воскресеньям он вставал рано и ходил на прогулки. (2.) Конструкция to be (to get) used to smth (to doing smth) имеет значение привыкать к чему-либо (что-либо делать): You'll soon get used to our way of life. Вы скоро привыкнете к нашему образу жизни. He is not used to getting up so early. Он не привык вставать так рано. (3.) See would, mod. v WAYS OF DOING THINGS: Глагол to use - пользоваться, использовать, применяется не уточняя цели и характера использования или не учитывает то, что используется в отличие от нижеследующих глаголов, которые подчеркивают эти характеристики. To apply - применять, использовать, внедрять: It would be foolish to apply this method to our case. Использовать/применять этот метод в нашем случае просто глупо. There are several tests you can apply to fund out how old the tree is. Существет несколько тестов для определения возраста дерева. New technology is being applied to almost every industrial process. Новая технология применяется почти во всех промышленных процессах. To exercise - применять, употреблять, воспользоваться, использовать, особенно власть, влияние или авторитет: He exercises a great influence over her. Он оказывает на нее большое влияние. Many people are exercising their right to get a state pension. Многие пользуются своим правом на получение государственной пенсии. In this case you should exercise your power. В этом случае вы должны употребить свою власть. To draw on - полагаться на, воспользоваться: Journalists draw on both published and unofficial information from many different sources. Журналисты используют как опубликованные, так и неопубликованные сведения из многих источников. To utilize - эффективно использовать что-либо для достижения какой-либо цели (слово официального стиля речи): Newspaper advertizing is a means most frequently utilized by food stores. Продуктовые магазины чаще всего используют рекламу в газетах. To bring smth into play - внедрять, начать использовать, особенно если это считается эффективным: She brought her charm into play when she was trying to persuade people to do what she wanted. Она пускала в ход все свое обаяние, когда хотела убедить кого-либо сделать то, что она хотела. Electronic signalling is only brought into play when necessary. Электронная сигнализация включается/используется только в случае необходимости -

v 1. употреблять, (вос)пользоваться, применять: to use smth — пользоваться чем-либо, применять что-либо; 2. used to do smth — постоянно что-либо делать, иметь обыкновение что-либо делать в прошлом; 3. to be (to get) used to doing smth — привыкнуть что-либо делать (1). Конструкция used to do smth обозначает неоднократно повторявшееся действие или состояние в отдаленном прошлом, которое к настоящему моменту прекратилось. Она чаще всего употребляется в утвердительных предложениях:He used to play foot-ball when he was a boy — Он когда-то играл в футбол, когда был мальчиком (а сейчас не играет).
He used to drive a car — Он бывало водил машину (а сейчас не водит).
Вопросительные и отрицательные предложения с оборотом used + to do smth образуются как с вспомогательным глаголом do, так и без него: Did you use to play football? или Used you to play football? I did not use to go to the theatre или I used not to go to the theatre. Однако вместо отрицательной конструкции, чаще используется наречие never:I never used to smoke — Я никогда не курил.
В отличие от оборота used to do smth, конструкция would do smth, имеющая сходное значение, относится только к действиям, которые неоднократно повторялись в прошлом, но не подразумевает, что позднее эти действия прекратились:On Sundays he would get up early and go for a walk — По воскресеньям он вставал рано и ходил на прогулки.
(2). Конструкция to be (to get) used to smth (to doing smth) имеет значение привыкать к чему-либо (что-либо делать):You'll soon get used to our way of life — Вы скоро привыкнете к нашему образу жизни.
He is not used to getting up so early — Он не привык вставать так рано.
