121 community
•• Community the people living in one place, district or country, considered as a whole; group of persons having the same religion, race, occupation, etc. or with common interests (A.S. Hornby).
•• Это слово становится трудным в тех случаях, когда употребляется в социологическом значении, отражающем современную трактовку понятия «община». Так, community development в ООН принято переводить развитие общин. Конечно, по-русски слово община имеет совершенно «не те» коннотации, связанные в основном с нашим прошлым, с дореволюционной сельской общиной. Во многих случаях приемлем – и гораздо лучше звучит – перевод сообщество. Там же, где это слово употребляется нетерминологически, нужно исходить из возможности переноса центра тяжести с «социологии» на «географию». Ведь по определению Webster’s Third New International Dictionary, community – the people living in a particular place or region and usually linked by common interests, broadly: the region itself; any population cluster. Пример: Many communities have turned to private security companies. – Многие населенные пункты прибегают к услугам частных охранных компаний. Другой пример: Business Week пишет о последствиях ликвидации компаний: devastated work lives and communities. В переводе такого текста размер «населенного пункта» не имеет значения, поэтому можно сказать просто сломанные жизни и умирающие города. Еще варианты перевода слова community – граждане, население, иногда местная общественность. Переводчик должен быть готов проявить изобретательность. Вот пример из мемуаров Дж. Кеннана (он пишет о президенте Эйзенхауэре): He was respected around the Gettysburg region, where he had bought his farm, but was never a member of the community. – ...но так и не стал своим для тех, кто жил рядом с ним.
•• Еще словосочетания с community: community work – общественная работа по месту жительства (или бесплатная работа в порядке наказания за небольшие правонарушения); community leaders – представители местной общественности; community center – нечто среднее между домом культуры, общественно-политическим центром и клубом общения; community college – колледж-техникум, среднее специальное учебное заведение (двухгодичное). Нередко перевод, что называется, «лежит на поверхности»: the business community – деловые круги, the university community – университетская общественность, the scientific community – научный мир.
•• В словаре Americana под редакцией Г.В.Чернова словарная статья community резюмируется следующим образом: «Это слово имеет самое широкое значение и лишь приблизительно соответствует русскому понятию “коллектив”». Интересное «определение» я обнаружил в журнале Men’s Health: Like prayer, “community” can be broadly and secularly defined. It can mean being part of a close-knit family, being married, or having best friends you can ask for advice. It can include playing on a softball team or getting together with guys for a monthly soccer game... All these different types of social interaction produce a degree of comfort, reassurance, diversion, laughter and love that is ultimately healthful. Здесь community – тоже своего рода «коллектив», но ближе к понятию общность. А вот пример такого же плана, где, на мой взгляд, самым удачным переводом будет просто окружающие: Boys are hardwired to love the rough and tumble but need attention from their family and community (Time). В этом примере интересно слово hardwired. Перевод: Мальчики от природы склонны к острым ощущениям, но они по природе своей нуждаются во внимании со стороны семьи и окружающих.
•• * Community work (как назначаемая судом мера наказания) – общественно-полезные бесплатные работы. Услышано по радио в материале о поправках к уголовному кодексу, согласно которым предлагается во многих случаях заменить тюремное заключение на другие меры, в том числе эту.

123 Cotton (Uganda)
This state produces more cotton than any other country in Africa, except Egypt, and cotton is the most important crop in the colony. Cotton growing is purely a native industry. The quality is excellent and compares with some of the best American. The native cultivates a quarter to half an acre and sells the cotton to the ginning firms. Improvements in transport by rail and lake will lead to new districts being opened up. The native cultivator is being encouraged to improve his methods of farming. Uganda cotton is 11/2-in to 13/16-in. in length and is generally worth from 150 to 350 points above the price of American Middling. It is believed that this colony could produce 500,000 bales annually. -

126 Matzeliger, Jan
SUBJECT AREA: Domestic appliances and interiors[br]b. 1852 Surinamd. 1889 Lynn, Massachusetts, (?) USA[br]African-American inventor of the shoe-lasting machine.[br]He served an apprenticeship as a machinist in his native country, Surinam. As a young man he emigrated to New England in the USA, but he was unable to secure employment in his trade. To survive, he took various odd jobs, including sewing soles on to shoes in a factory at Lynn, Massachusetts, a centre of the shoemaking industry. Much of the shoemaking process had already been mechanized, but lasting remained laborious, painstaking hand work. Matzeliger turned his undoubted inventive powers to mechanizing this operation. It took him four years to achieve a working model of a mechanical last that could be patented. By this time his health and finances had been undermined by the struggle to reach this stage; to raise funds he had to dispose of two-thirds of his rights in his patent to two local investors. Eventually he demonstrated a trial model of his lasting machine and successfully lasted seventy-five pairs of shoes. Not satisfied with that, Matzeliger went on to produce two improved machines, protected by further patents. Finally, the United Shoe Machine Company bought up his patents, but that relief came too late to prevent Matzeliger from dying in poor circumstances. The mechanization of shoe lasting made a significant contribution to the manufacture of shoes, raising production and reducing costs. It also effectively extinguished the final element of skilled hand work required in shoemaking, earning him considerable unpopularity among the workers who were about to be displaced, and resulting in the machine being derogatorily nicknamed "Niggerhead".[br]Further ReadingP.P.James, 1989, The Real McCoy: African-American Invention and Innovation 1619– 1930, Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution, pp. 70–2.LRD -
