58 -play, game o toy?-
Nota d'usoIl sostantivo “gioco” va tradotto in modi diversi a seconda del contesto. Play è di solito usato come verbo, e quando è impiegato come sostantivo indica il giocare in generale, di solito riferito ai bambini: The importance of play in children's development, l'importanza del gioco nella crescita dei bambini. Quando invece si parla di un gioco dotato di regole e obiettivi, il sostantivo corretto è game: I got a nice game for Christmas, ho ricevuto un bel gioco per Natale (non I got a nice play for Christmas). Infine toy indica un giocattolo vero e proprio (es. bambola, soldatini ecc.): I gave her a toy for her birthday, le ho regalato un giocattolo per il compleanno. -
59 -urban o urbane?-
Nota d'usoL'aggettivo urban significa “urbano”: the urban population, la popolazione urbana, urban development, lo sviluppo urbano; the Urban District Council, il Consiglio del Distretto Urbano. Non bisogna confondere urban con urbane, che vuol dire anch'esso “urbano”, ma solo nel senso (figurato e molto formale in italiano) di “cortese, gentile”: When I met him, he came across as a well-mannered, confident, and urbane young man, quando lo incontrai, si rivelò un uomo educato, sicuro di sé e cortese. -
