Русский глагол бить указывает на многократный характер действия, но не конкретизирует как, чем и по отношению к кому или чему было произведено это действие. Английские соответствия различают многократность и однократность действия и поэтому они эквивалентны не только глаголу бить, но и глаголам ударять/ударить и стучать/стукнуть. Кроме этого английские глаголы указывают и на то, как и чем наносятся удары.

1. to beat — бить, биться, колотить, ударять, избить (подчеркивается многократность действия; разный характер ударов в русском языке может передаваться разными приставками, как, например, побить, избить и распространенными словосочетаниями; в английском языке в таких случаях используются послелоги или другие глаголы): to beat a carpet — выколачивать ковер; to beat a rug — вытряхивать половик; to beat the dust out of the rug — выбивать пыль из ковра; to beat a drum — бить в барабан; to beat time — отбивать такт; to beat eggs — взбивать яйца; to beat meat — отбивать мясо; to beat smb (up) — бить кого-либо/избивать кого-либо; to beat smb cruelly (to death) — жестоко (до смерти) избить кого-либо; to beat smb with a stick — избивать кого-либо палкой/бить кого-либо папкой; to beat smb for stealing (for lying) — побить кого-либо за воровство (за вранье); one's heart beats — сердце бьется. The rain beat the grass flat. — Дождь прибил траву. You ought to be well beaten. — Тебя надо как следует выпороть. The bird beats its wings against the cage. — Птица бьется крыльями в клетке. Не was badly beaten. — Его здорово избили./Ero сильно избили. We heard the waves beating against the shore. — Мы слышали, как волны, бились о берег. The rain beats against the roof. — Дождь бьет по крыше./Дождь стучит по крыше.

2. to strike — ударять, ударить, стукнуть, нанести удар (упот- ребляется в официа.1ьной речи, описывает удар по какой-либо части тела): The evidence showed that the victim had been struck over the head with an iron bar. — Свидетельские показания указывают на то, что пострадавшему/жертве был нанесен удар по голове железным прутом. The clock was striking midnight. — Часы били полночь. Jane was on the point of striking the child again when her husband stopped her. — Джейн собиралась еще раз ударить ребенка, но муж остановил ее. The court heard that the defendant had struck Ted repeatedly in the face, causing serious bruising. — Суд заслушал свидетельские показания о том, что ответчик нанес Тэду многократные удары в лицо, избив его до синяков.

The lightning struck the tree. — Молния ударила в дерево./Молния попала в дерево.

She swung around and hit him with her umbrella. — Она круто развернулась и ударила его зонтиком.

Hitting him hard in the stomach she dashed for the phone and called the police. — Сильно ударив его в живот, она бросилась к телефону и вызвала полицию. Don't fight with your brother, he will only hit you back as he is older than you are. — He дерись с братом, он старше тебя и даст тебе сдачи./Не дерись с братом, он старше тебя и нанесет тебе ответный удар.
