2 pattern
•• Pattern... way in which something happens, develops, is arranged, etc. (A.S. Hornby).
•• Это одно из тех слов, с которыми мы мучаемся всю жизнь, – они постоянно ставят нас в трудное положение и приходится искать более или менее приличный выход из него. Несколько примеров, показывающих, что этот орешек нелегко расколоть даже опытному переводчику, особенно если приходится работать в цейтнотном режиме устного перевода.
•• 1. [1996] could be a global pattern-maker (Economist);
•• 2. The answers to 1996’s questions will produce all sorts of possible patterns (Economist);
•• 3. The whole book forms a rich and subtle yet highly organized pattern (Webster’s Third New International Dictionary);
•• 4. The development on earth of five or six major languages... would strike our imaginary observer as a profoundly natural, indeed inevitable pattern (G. Steiner).
•• За исключением «технических» значений этого слова, которые нужно просто знать (например, выкройка, образец (ткани), шаблон), pattern – типичное слово с широкой семантикой. Иногда советуют «просто не переводить такие слова», ибо какое-либо реальное значение из них просто «выветрилось». Совет не такой уж плохой, хотя надо всегда помнить, что мы переводим не слова, а смыслы и их сочетания. В какой-то мере этот совет помогает найти выход из положения в примерах 3 и 4: 3. Книга отличается богатым и тонким содержанием и прекрасной организацией материала. 4. Гипотетическому наблюдателю показалось бы, что в возникновении на земле пяти-шести основных языков есть нечто вполне естественное и даже неизбежное. Но владение таким приемом все же не раскрывает «секрет» этого слова. Не слишком помогают и некоторые словари. В них мы найдем некоторый набор возможных переводов (образец, пример, шаблон, форма, модель, схема, манера, узор, рисунок и т.д. и т.п.) или довольно дробное описание «значений» этого слова (в действительности не значений, а просто вариантов словоупотребления).
•• Мне кажется, что на самом деле значений у этого слова не так много, и главное из них прекрасно характеризуется определением из Webster’s Third New International Dictionary: a reliable sample of traits, acts, or other observable features. Еще одно полезное для переводчика определение (из Oxford American Dictionary): a way in which something develops, happens, is arranged, etc. Из этих определений выводятся и слова русского языка, которые подойдут во многих контекстах: явление, особенность(и), практика, постоянный. Например, new patterns of family life – новые явления (тенденции) в семейной жизни; patterns of behavior – особенности поведения; personality patterns – особенности (психологии) личности. В примере 3. ...предопределят самые различные явления в будущем. Разумеется, речь идет лишь о возможных переводах, а не о рецептах на все случаи жизни. Они не освобождают переводчика от необходимости думать, искать. Как говорится, «возможны варианты», иногда самые неожиданные. В примере 1 можно попробовать так: 1996 год может оказаться рубежным для всей планеты. В примере 2: Ответы на вопросы 1996 года могут породить самые различные сценарии развития событий. Трудное для перевода на английский слово закономерность может пригодиться при переводе английского pattern: In Indochina... all previous patterns of America’s involvement abroad were shattered (Henry Kissinger). – В Индокитае были опровергнуты все прежние закономерности американского участия в мировых делах. Очень важен широкий контекст. Например, в статье в журнале Business Week в предложении These patterns change only gradually слово pattern трудно перевести иначе как соотношения. (Интересный пример со словом pattern см. также во вступительном разделе – Вместо предисловия.)
