2 плыть
Глагол плыть передается английскими swim, float, drift и sail. Swim имеет в виду самый процесс плавания (о человеке, животном): to swim on the back, to swim on one's side. Float (о предметах, реже о людях) предполагает медленное скольжение по воде без всяких усилий под влиянием течения или ветра: dead leaves floating in a pool, raft floating down the river. Drift (в буквальном значении только о предметах) подчеркивает мысль о скольжении, иногда стремительном, по течению или по волнам, может взаимозаменяться с float: to drift on the waves и to float on the waves. Drift (о людях) часто употребляется в метафорическом значении 'идти, плыть по течению': he never did anything of his own accord, he just drifted. Sail связано в основном с судоходством и первоначально означало 'плыть под парусами'; теперь применяется к судам с различными типами двигателей.Трудности английского языка (лексический справочник).
