103 integrity
•• Integrity 1. quality of being honest and upright in character. 2. state of being complete (A.S. Hornby).
•• Среди предлагаемых в словарях переводов этого слова – честность, неподкупность. Например, a man of integrity – честный, неподкупный человек. В Уставе ООН integrity – добросовестность. На мой взгляд, ближе всего к этому английскому слову русское принципиальность, кстати, не всегда легко поддающееся переводу на английский. Такое значение слова integrity хорошо видно из следующей цитаты из статьи в журнале Time о «поколении Икс» – американской молодежи рождения 1965–1976 годов: 71% of Gen Xers – a higher percentage than their parents or grandparents – believe that “In this world, sometimes you have to compromise your principles.” Do they identify more with success or with integrity? More than half choose success; only a third of their elders select it.
•• В статье в газете Financial Times опубликованной через несколько дней после похорон принцессы Дианы, автор, критикуя английские телеканалы за чрезмерное, по его мнению, внимание к этому событию (...a search through all the terrestrial channels revealed nothing but the Diana story), пишет: It was left for Channel 4 to emerge with some credit and integrity intact. – Лишь четвертый канал сохранил хоть какое-то достоинство и принципиальность.
•• * Несмотря на, казалось бы, вполне освоенный русским языком корень (интеграл, интеграция и т.д.), слово integrity – одно из трудных для переводчика.
•• У этого слова по существу два значения – одно из них можно назвать «физическим» (словари иногда подразделяют его на два, но такое дробление кажется мне излишним), другое относится к сфере морали.
•• У первого значения в русском языке есть устойчивое соответствие – целостность, хотя оно не всегда дает стопроцентное попадание. Скажем, в словосочетании integrity of the World Bank русским соответствием будет устойчивость. В некоторых контекстах – сохранность. Structural integrity – прочность конструкции. Timing integrity – синхронизация. Equipment integrity – работоспособность оборудования.
•• Но гораздо труднее в переводе – второе значение. Лучшее его определение – в словаре Merriam-Webster: steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code. Как мне кажется, это определение выявляет общий модуль двух значений, который можно было бы условно определить словом соответствие (прежнему состоянию или какой-то идеальной модели). Англо-русские словари дают очень ограниченный набор вариантов русского перевода. Например, Новый БАРС – честность, прямота, неподкупность. Нет даже слова добросовестность (Устав ООН: The paramount consideration in the employment of the staff and in the determination of the conditions of service shall be the necessity of securing the highest standards of efficiency, competence, and integrity – При приеме на службу и определении условий службы следует руководствоваться, главным образом, необходимостью обеспечить высокий уровень работоспособности, компетентности и добросовестности). Во многих случаях удачным вариантом будет принципиальность («обратное соответствие», которое дает, например, словарь Д. Ермоловича и Т. Красавиной, – adherence to one’s principles – не совсем удачно, так как по-русски имеется в виду все-таки приверженность не «своим принципам», а чему-то «более высокому», то есть скорее adherence to principle) или ответственность. Например, американская организация Office of Research Integrity занимается, судя по ее Интернет-сайту, следующим: monitors institutional investigations of research misconduct and facilitates the responsible conduct of research through educational, preventive, regulatory activities. По-русски ее название можно передать как управление по проблемам ответственности/добросовестности в научных исследованиях или научной этики.
•• Слово этика оказывается кстати и в других случаях. Вот слова журналиста Роберта Новака, обидевшегося на коллегу во время телепередачи и даже демонстративно покинувшего студию (случай в США редчайший): He said I was trying to please the editorial writers of The Wall Street Journal. I thought that was an unacceptable questioning of my integrity. В переводе, видимо, лучший вариант <...> я счел это неприемлемой попыткой поставить под сомнение мою журналистскую этику. Здесь подойдет также доброе имя – вариант, который лучше всего передает и смысл реакции шефа лондонской полиции Иана Блэра на обвинения, последовавшие за убийством в лондонском метро бразильца Жана-Шарля де Менезиса: Those accusations <...> strike at the integrity of this office and the integrity of the Metropolitan Police, and I fundamentally reject them.
•• Все эти варианты заслуживают, на мой взгляд, включения в словари. Но они не охватывают всего многообразия употребления слова integrity, которое во многих случаях требует поиска метонимического контекстуального соответствия. Пример из сообщения агентства Associated Press: Citing a United Nations-commissioned poll that showed “a high level of discontent and pessimism among staff concerning the integrity of the organization,” the report said that it had found “the morale is dismal.” Думаю, что здесь мы имеем дело с тем случаем, когда реальное словоупотребление вольно или невольно смешивает и несколько смазывает значения слова, и трудно найти лучший вариант, чем пессимизм относительно будущего организации, хотя в первом приближении удачным кажется и слово авторитет.

108 Bickford, William
SUBJECT AREA: Mining and extraction technology[br]b. 1774 Devonshire, Englandd. 1834 Tuckingmill, Cornwall, England[br]English leather merchant, inventor of the safety fuse.[br]Having tried in vain to make his living as a currier in Truro, Cornwall, he set up as a leather merchant in Tuckingmill and became aware of the high casualty rates suffered by local tin-miners in shot-firing accidents. He therefore started attempts to discover a safe means of igniting charges, and came up with a form of safety fuse that made the operation of blasting much less hazardous. It was patented in 1831 and consisted of a cable of jute and string containing a thin core of powder; it provided a dependable means for conveying the flame to the charge so that the danger of hang fires was almost eliminated. Its accurate and consistent timing allowed the firing of several holes at a time without the fusing of the last being destroyed by the blast from the first. By 1840, a gutta-percha fuse had been developed which could be used in wet conditions and was an improvement until the use of dynamite for shot-firing.Accounts of the invention, after it had been described in the Report from the Select Committee on Accidents in Mines (1835, London) were widespread in various foreign mining journals, and in the 1840s factories were set up in different mining areas on the European continent, in America and in Australia. Bickford himself founded a firm at Tuckingmill in the year that he came up with his invention which was later controlled by his descendants until it finally merged with Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) after the First World War.[br]Further ReadingF.Heise, 1904, Sprengstoffe und Zündung der Sprengschüsse, Berlin (provides a detailed description of the development).W.J.Reader, 1970, Imperial Chemical Industries.

109 Cobbett, William
SUBJECT AREA: Agricultural and food technology[br]b. 9 March 1762 Farnham, Surrey, Englandd. 17 June 1835 Guildford, Surrey, England[br]English political writer and activist; writer on rural affairs, with a particular concern for the conditions of the agricultural worker; a keen experimental farmer who claimed responsibility for the import of Indian maize to Britain.[br]The son of a smallholder farmer and self-taught surveyor, William Cobbett was brought up to farm work from an early age. In 1783 he took employment as an attorney's clerk in London, but not finding this to his liking he travelled to Chatham with the intention of joining the Navy. A mistake in "taking the King's shilling" found him in an infantry regiment. After a year's training he was sent out to Nova Scotia and quickly gained the rank of sergeant major. On leaving the Army he brought corruption charges against three officers in his regiment, but did not press with the prosecution. England was not to his taste, and he returned to North America with his wife.In America Cobbett taught English to the growing French community displaced by the French Revolution. He found American criticism of Britain ill-balanced and in 1796 began to publish a daily newspaper under the title Porcupine's Gazetteer, in which he wrote editorials in defence of Britain. His writings won him little support from the Americans. However, on returning to London in 1800 he was offered, but turned down, the management of a Government newspaper. Instead he began to produce a daily paper called the Porcupine, which was superseded in 1802 by Cobbett's Political Register, this publication continued on a weekly basis until after his death. In 1803 he also began the Parliamentary Debates, which later merged into Hansard, the official report of parliamentary proceedings.In 1805 Cobbett took a house and 300-acre (120-hectare) farm in Hampshire, from which he continued to write, but at the same time followed the pursuits he most enjoyed. In 1809 his criticism of the punishment given to mutineers in the militia at Ely resulted in his own imprisonment. On his release in 1812 he decided that the only way to remain an independent publisher was to move back to the USA. He bought a farm at Hampstead, Long Island, New York, and published A Year's Residence in America, which contains, amongst other things, an interesting account of a farmer's year.Returning to Britain in the easier political climate of the 1820s, Cobbett bought a small seed farm in Kensington, then outside London. From there he made a number of journeys around the country, publishing accounts of them in his famous Rural Rides. His experiments and advice on the sowing and cultivation of crops, particularly turnips and swedes, and on forestry, were an important mechanism for the spread of ideas within the UK. He also claimed that he was the first to introduce the acacia and Indian maize to Britain. Much of his writing expresses a concern for the rural poor and he was firmly convinced that only parliamentary reform would achieve the changes needed. His political work and writing led to his election as Member of Parlaiment for Oldham in the 1835 election, which followed the Reform Act of 1832. However, by this time his energy was failing rapidly and he died peacefully at Normandy Farm, near Guildford, at the age of 73.[br]BibliographyCobbett's Observations on Priestley's Emigration, published in 1794, was the first of his pro-British tracts written in America. On the basis of his stay in that country he wrote A Year's Residence in America. His books on agricultural practice included Woodlands (1825) and Treatise on Cobbett's Corn (1828). Dealing with more social problems he wrote an English Grammar for the use of Apprentices, Plough Boys, Soldiers and Sailors in 1818, and Cottage Economy in 1821.Further ReadingAlbert Pell, 1902, article in Journal of the Royal Agricultural Society of England 63:1–26 (describes the life and writings of William Cobbett).James Sambrook, 1973, William Cobbett, London: Routledge (a more detailed study).AP -
110 Donisthorpe, George Edmond
SUBJECT AREA: Textiles[br]fl. c.1842 England[br]English inventor of a wool-combing machine.[br]Edmund Cartwright's combing machine needed a great deal of improvement before it could be used to tackle the finer qualities of wool. Various people carried out experiments over the next thirty years, including G.E.Donisthorpe of Leicester. Together with Henry Rawson, Donisthorpe obtained his first patent for improvements to wool combing in 1835, but his important ones were obtained in 1842 and 1843. These attracted the attention of S.C. Lister, who had become interested in developing a machine to comb wool after seeing the grim working conditions of the hand-combers supplying his mill at Manningham. Lister was quick to perceive that Donisthorpe's invention carried sufficient promise to replace the hand-comber, so in 1842 he made Donisthorpe an offer, which was accepted, of £2,000 for half the patent rights. In the following year Lister purchased the other half of the patent for £10,000, whereby Donisthorpe ceased to have any pecuniary interest in it. Lister took Donisthorpe into partnership and they worked together over the ensuing years with patience and diligence until they eventually succeeded in bringing out a combing machine that was generally acceptable. They were combing fine botany wool for the first time by machine in 1843. Further patents were taken out in their joint names in 1849 and 1850: these included the "nip" mechanism, the priority of which was disputed by Heilmann. Donisthorpe also took out patents for wool combing with John Whitehead in 1849 and John Crofts in 1853.[br]Bibliography1835, British patent no. 6,808 (improvements to wool combing). 1842.

111 Ridley, John
SUBJECT AREA: Agricultural and food technology[br]b. 1806 West Boldon, Co. Durham, Englandd. 1887 Malvern, England[br]English developer of the stripper harvester which led to a machine suited to the conditions of Australia and South America.[br]John Ridley was a preacher in his youth, and then became a mill owner before migrating to Australia with his wife and daughters in 1839. Intending to continue his business in the new colony, he took with him a "Grasshopper" overbeam steam-engine made by James Watt, together with milling equipment. Cereal acreages were insufficient for the steam power he had available, and he expanded into saw milling as well as farming 300 acres. Aware of the Adelaide trials of reaping machines, he eventually built a prototype using the same principles as those developed by Wrathall Bull. After a successful trial in 1843 Ridley began the patent procedure in England, although he never completed the project. The agricultural press was highly enthusiastic about his machine, but when trials took place in 1855 the award went to a rival. The development of the stripper enabled a spectacular increase in the cereal acreage planted over the next decade. Ridley left Australia in 1853 and returned to England. He built a number of machines to his design in Leeds; however, these failed to perform in the much damper English climate. All of the machines were exported to South America, anticipating a substantial market to be exploited by Australian manufacturers.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsIn 1913 a Ridley scholarship was established by the faculty of Agriculture at Adelaide University.Further ReadingG.Quick and W.Buchele, 1978, The Grain Harvesters, American Society of Agricultural Engineers (includes a chapter devoted to the Australian developments).A.E.Ridley, 1904, A Backward Glance (describes Ridley's own story).G.L.Sutton, 1937, The Invention of the Stripper (a review of the disputed claims between Ridley and Bull).L.J.Jones, 1980, "John Ridley and the South Australian stripper", The History ofTechnology, pp. 55–103 (a more detailed study).——1979, "The early history of mechanical harvesting", The History of Technology, pp. 4,101–48 (discusses the various claims to the first invention of a machine for mechanical harvesting).AP
