2 push the envelope
•• * Выражение to push the envelope я слышал от американцев бесчисленное число раз – разумеется, в странном их произношении, где первый слог – как в слове uncle. Его этимология – авиационная. Источники указывают, что оно стало популярным после известного фильма по книге Тома Вульфа об американской космической программе The Right Stuff (в нашем прокате – «Парни что надо»). Один из словарей считает это выражение a corruption of the U.S. test pilots’ term for stretching the aerodynamic ‘envelope’ as they passed through Mach 1 and beyond. Corruption в данном случае – «искажение», хотя скорее мы имеем дело с дальнейшим развитием этого с самого начала метафорического выражения. Envelope в специфически авиационном значении, согласно другому источнику, refers to a plane’s performance capabilities. The limits of the plane’s ability to fly at speeds and altitudes and under certain stresses define what is known as its performance envelope. It’s an «envelope» in the sense that it contains the ranges of the plane’s abilities. Интересно русское соответствие этого термина, обнаруженное в интервью испытателя космических систем жизнеобеспечения Е. Кирюшина («Новая газета»): «Не один десяток раз выживал. Ради того, чтобы космонавты были живы потом, я должен был раздвигать так называемые рамки полетного режима. Мое дело – создавать коридор запаса для космонавта».
•• Наибольший интерес представляет употребление этого фразеологизма в контекстах, не имеющих к авиации никакого отношения. Перевод здесь может потребовать некоторой изобретательности. Вот пример из газеты Wall Street Journal:
•• Ads <...> seem to be pushing the envelope of taste every day – Похоже, в рекламе границы пристойного просто перестают существовать/Реклама постоянно нарушает границы хорошего вкуса, еще вчера казавшиеся незыблемыми.
•• Следующий пример из Washington Post:
•• Powell has been methodically pushing the envelope of the administration’s new willingness to publicly criticize Russia. – Госсекретарь, так сказать, «раздвигает границы возможного в критике России».
•• По-моему, вполне подходящим вариантом перевода было бы:
•• Пауэлл идет все дальше в критике России, которую в последнее время стала позволять себе администрация.
•• Можно и повычурнее (журналисты это любят):
•• <...> методично повышает градус критики в адрес России.
•• Наконец, пример из интервью Джона Апдайка, где pushing the envelope развивается и обыгрывается:
•• Once television began to steal away that middle-class audience, the movies seemed to get frantic: “What can we do that the TV can’t?” And so you’ve got spectacle on the one hand, and a constant pushing of the sexual envelope on the other – По мере того как средний класс все больше отдавал предпочтение телевидению, кино лихорадочно искало ответ на вопрос: «В чем мы можем перещеголять телевидение?». И ответ был найден: с одной стороны, зрелищность, с другой – постоянное расширение границ допустимого в показе секса.
•• Глагол to push в этом значении встречается также в словосочетании (вошедшем в словари) to push one’s luck: The Chancellor deserved his luck on the economy. On the public finances, he is pushing it. (Economist) Типичная для этого журнала отшлифованная, на грани афоризма фраза. В переводе трудно сохранить ту же лаконичность: Успех министра финансов в сфере экономики был заслуженным, хотя в чем-то ему просто повезло. Но в сфере государственных финансов он явно искушает судьбу. Видимо, можно говорить о самостоятельном значении глагола to push (to test the limits of something – испытывать или раздвигать пределы чего-либо).
