- angry scene with smb- make a nasty scene•CHOICE OF WORDS:(1.) Русским существительным сцена, вид соответствуют слова scene, view, sight, которые различаются своей коммуникативной направленностью по отношению к говорящему и по своему употреблению. Существительное scene обозначает то, на что говорящий смотрит, то, что ограничено взором; scene может обозначать как статическое явление, так и движение: a holiday scene in the street сценка/картина празднования/уличного гуляния (на которую как бы смотрит говорящий); a winter scene зимняя картина/пейзаж; a woodland scene лесной пейзаж; a village scene событие/сцена сельской жизни. Существительное view, в отличие от scene, обозначает то, что видит откуда-либо говорящий, поэтому view часто употребляется с обстоятельством, указывающим место, откуда идет наблюдение: a view of the river from my window вид на реку из моего окна; a room with a view of the sea комната с видом на море; to get a better view of the scene in the street получше увидеть (рассмотреть) происходящее на улице; exhibits on view выставленные на показ экспонаты; a post-card with a view of Oxford почтовая рткрытка с видом Оксфорда. Существительное sight, как и view, обозначает то, что находится в поле зрения говорящего, sight употребляется в словосочетаниях: to be out of sight быть вне поля зрения/скрыться из поля зрения; to come in sight появиться в поле зрения; to see the sights of the city осматривать достопримечательности города; a set of cards with sights of London набор открыток с достопримечетельностями Лондона. (2.) Русскому существительному вид в значении "внешний вид, внешность" соответствует английское appearance: to have a gloomy appearance иметь мрачный (внешний) вид или сочетание глагола to look с прилагательным: he looks gloomy (tired, happy) у него мрачный (усталый, счастливый) вид. (3.) Русские существительные вид, пейзаж соответствуют английским scene, landscape и scenery. Существительное landscape обозначает изображение местности, пейзаж независимо от степени его привлекательности. В зависимости от того, какой вид земной поверхности составляет пейзаж, используются более детализированные его обозначения: seascape морской пейзаж; mountainscape горный пейзаж; skyscape вид неба. Scene - сценка, вид, составляющие отдельную часть целостного пейзажа; scenery красоты природы. В отличие от scenery, scene может включать людей и движущиеся предметы: A calm scene of grazing cattle. Пейзаж с мирно пасущимся стадом -
