6 only
Only является одной из наиболее распространенных частиц в современном английском языке. Чаще всего она выполняет ограничительную функцию, и ее эквивалентами становятся русские частицы только и лишь:
• "You mean you don't enjoy it?"
"Enjoy it? Are you kidding? I only do this for my health." (DL: 42)
"Вы хотите сказать, вам это не нравится?"
"Как это может нравиться. Вы шутите? Я делаю это только ради здоровья."
• The conference only opened yesterday, and there are hundreds of people. (DL: 194)
Конференция открылась только вчера, и здесь сотни людей.
Стоит отметить, что, как видно в частности из приведенных примеров, в современном языке частица only обычно ставится перед глаголом-сказуемым, а не тем словом, к которому непосредственно относится.
Кроме того, only может иногда выполнять эмфатическую (усилительную) функцию. Здесь возможно усиление разных значений и, соответственно, разные варианты перевода:
•... But instead of relating Bourani to the ordinary world, the distant ship seemed only to emphasize its hiddenness, its secrecy. (F: 108)
... Но вместо того, чтобы связать Бурани с обычным миром, плывший вдали пароход, казалось, лишь / даже подчеркивал его скрытность, его таинственность.
• "You really should knock before coming in. It's only polite." (Pr: 239)
"Вообще-то следует стучать, прежде чем входить. Это элементарная вежливость."
Отдельно стоит рассмотреть сочетания only с другими словами, которые, по сути, представляют собой составные частицы. Первая из них - only just - выполняет ограничительную функцию, приближаясь к русскому едва, хотя переводиться может и по-другому, в зависимости от контекста:
• I have a scholarship - and you can only just live on it... (Pr: 235)
У меня есть стипендия, и на нее едва-едва можно прожить...
• There's no money at home - and I only just managed to get this scholarship. (Pr: 236)
Дома нет денег, и я с большим трудом смогла получить эту стипендию.
Другая интересная составная частица - only too - является усилительной и по значению приближается к английскому усилительному наречию very, однако, в отличие от very, несет в себе дополнительный имплицитный смысл - говорящий считает что-то неожиданным (для себя или собеседника) или достойным сожаления. В переводе происходит передача усилительного значения, а также, при контекстуальной возможности, экспликация дополнительного смысла, как показывают следующие примеры:
• "He will be only too pleased to do me a favour..." ( AC1: 80)
"Он будет даже очень (только) рад оказать мне услугу..."
• Bundle led the talk on to the topic of Gerald Wade's death. Mrs. Howell was only too willing to talk about it... ( AC1: 75)
Бандл перевела разговор на тему смерти Джеральда Уейда. Миссис Хауэл была совсем не прочь поговорить об этом...
• "Commercially it should be worth millions... And internationally - well, one knows only too well the greed of nations." ( AC1: 94)
"С коммерческой точки зрения, это должно стоить миллионы... А на международном рынке... ну, нам, к сожалению, слишком хорошо известна жадность некоторых стран."

ONLY, SINGLEOnly и single, выражающие понятие единственности, не могут взаимозаменяться. Only означает 'единственный' (имеющийся в единственном числе): an only child 'единственный ребенок' (но the only child of his parents), one's only hope 'единственная надежда', the only way out 'единственный выход'. Прилагательное single, также выражающее понятие единственности, не соответствует русскому единственный и не может взаимозаменяться с only. Single означает 'только один, не больше, чем один' (не два, не три и т. д.) и часто употребляется в значении 'непарный', когда речь идет о предметах, выступающих обычно в парном сочетании: single track 'одноколейная железная дорога' (в отличие от двухколейной), single-breasted coat 'однобортный пиджак' (в отличие от двубортного), single ticket 'билет в один конец' (в отличие от return ticket 'билет туда и обратно'), single man 'холостяк' (в отличие от женатого человека). Прилагательное only в этом значении употреблено быть не может.Difficulties of the English language (lexical reference) English-Russian dictionary > only
