  • 41 Johnston, Joseph Eggleston

    (1807-1901) Джонстон, Джозеф Эгглстон
    Генерал Армии Конфедерации [ Confederate Army]. Южане обязаны ему победой в первом сражении при Булл-Ране [ Bull Run, First Battle of] (1861). Получил ранение в сражении при Фэр-Оукс [ Fair Oaks, Battle of] (1862); после ссоры с президентом Конфедерации Дж. Дэвисом [ Davis, Jefferson] отстранен от командования (1863).

  • 42 McClellan, George Brinton

    (1826-1885) Макклеллан, Джордж Бринтон
    Военный и политический деятель. Окончил военное училище в Уэст-Пойнте [ West Point]. Участвовал в войне с Мексикой [ Mexican War] (1846-48). Возглавлял вооруженные силы Севера в начальный период Гражданской войны [ Civil War]. В июле 1861 был назначен командующим Потомакской армии [ Army of the Potomac], а после первой битвы на р. Бул-Ран [ Bull Run, First Battle of] - главнокомандующим всей армии северян [ Union Army]. Его осторожность, походившая на пассивность, провал попыток взять г. Ричмонд и неспособность развить успех под Антиетамом [ Antietam, Battle of] привели к тому, что он был снят с этого поста (1862). На президентских выборах 1864 при поддержке "медянок" [ Copperheads] был выдвинут демократами кандидатом на пост президента, но проиграл А. Линкольну [ Lincoln, Abraham]

  • 43 Peninsular Campaign

    ист
    Военная кампания северян в период Гражданской войны [ Civil War] (апрель-июль 1862), в ходе которой перед Потомакской армией [ Army of the Potomac] была поставлена задача продвинуться к столице Конфедерации [ Confederate States of America] г. Ричмонду, шт. Вирджиния. По настоянию президента Линкольна [ Lincoln, Abraham], который в течение года после первого сражения у ручья Бул-Ран [ Bull Run, First Battle of] требовал от своих командующих оттеснить конфедератов из долины р. Потомак [ Potomac River], чтобы расчистить путь к Ричмонду, в апреле 1862 110 тыс. северян под командованием генерала Дж. Макклеллана [ McClellan, George Brinton] выступили к полуострову между реками Йорк [York River] и Джеймс [ James River]. План Макклеллана заключался в массированном наступлении под прикрытием флота. В мае Макклеллану удалось взять г. Йорктаун. Тогда командующий южан Дж. Джонстон [ Johnston, Joseph Eggleston] передвинул свои войска на юг для обороны Ричмонда и выступил против северян с примерно равными силами. Готовясь к решающему сражению, Макклеллан ожидал подкрепления в 40 тыс. человек от генерала И. Макдауэлла [McDowell, Irvin], но его войска потерпели поражение в долине р. Шенандоа [ Shenandoah Valley]. 31 мая 1862 Джонстон атаковал силы Макклеллана у станции Фэр-Оукс [ Fair Oaks, Battle of], но уже 1 июня был вынужден отступить к Ричмонду. Президент Конфедерации Дж. Дэвис [ Davis, Jefferson] передал командование войсками Роберту Ли [ Lee, Robert Edward], которому после кровопролитных сражений 26 июня-2 июля 1862, вошедших в историю как Семидневная битва [ Seven Days' Battles], удалось остановить наступление северян (потери южан составили более 20 тыс. человек, а северян - около 16 тыс.). Макклеллан получил приказ прекратить наступление и вернулся на исходные позиции. Таким образом, кампания закончилась для северян провалом

  • 45 Barton, Clara

    Полное имя - Кларисса Харлоу [Clarissa Harlowe]. Основательница Американского Красного Креста [ American Red Cross]. Получила образование на дому и сама начала преподавать уже в пятнадцатилетнем возрасте. В 1850-51 посещала Свободный институт [Liberal Institute] в г. Клинтоне, шт. Нью-Йорк, а в 1852 создала бесплатную школу в г. Бордентауне, шт. Нью-Джерси, ставшую вскоре настолько популярной, что местные власти не захотели смириться с тем, что это учебное заведение возглавляет женщина. Бартон была вынуждена уйти, и некоторое время (в 1854-1857, а затем в 1860) проработала в Патентном бюро США [Patent Office, U.S.] в Вашингтоне. С началом Гражданской войны [ Civil War] проявила активность в целом ряде общественных инициатив, начиная от розыска пропавшего багажа военнослужащих и заканчивая обеспечением поставок медикаментов для раненых во время первого сражения на р. Бул-Ран [ Bull Run, First Battle of]. Получила разрешение пересекать линию фронта для передачи провизии, поиска пропавших без вести и ухода за ранеными. В 1865 по просьбе президента Авраама Линкольна [ Lincoln, Abraham] Бартон занялась учреждением бюро содействия в поиске пропавших без вести. Оказавшись в Европе во время франко-прусской войны, занималось организацией гуманитарной помощи. По возвращении в США (1873) приняла активное участие в кампании за присоединение страны к Женевской конвенции. В 1881 Бартон учредила Американскую ассоциацию Красного Креста и была президентом этой организации до 1904, когда вынуждена была уйти в отставку под давлением исполнительного совета, недовольного ее авторитарными методами. Тем не менее, в историю она вошла как "ангел на поле битвы" ["angel of the battlefield"]. Клара Бартон - инициатор т.н. "американской поправки" к уставу Красного креста, согласно которой организация оказывает помощь не только во время войны, но и в случае голода, эпидемий и стихийных бедствий. Автор ряда книг, в том числе "Истории Красного креста" ["History of the Red Cross"] (1882), "Красный крест в мирное и военное время" ["The Red Cross in Peace and War"] (1899), "История моего детства" ["The Story of My Childhood"] (1907).

    jugar 3. TODO ► Para traducir el adjetivo todo con el sentido de en su totalidad se usa all, seguido del sustantivo en singular y sin determinante: Se pasó toda la tarde viendo la tele He spent all afternoon watching TV ► Con el mismo sentido anterior, también se puede traducir por whole o entire, este último es más enfático. En este caso, el indefinido tiene que ir acompañado de un sustantivo contable en singular y precedido por un determinante: Se pasó toda la tarde viendo la tele He spent the whole o the entire afternoon watching TV ► Todos se traduce por every cuando se hace hincapié en todos y cada uno de los individuos de un grupo de personas o cosas y también cuando se habla de acciones repetidas: Todos los niños deben llevar el uniforme del colegio Every child must wear school uniform Salimos a cenar todos los viernes We go out for dinner every Friday El sustantivo que sigue a every va en singular y nunca lleva determinante. El verbo va también en singular. ► Cuando todos se emplea para generalizar, se traduce por all. En este caso el sustantivo que sigue a all no lleva determinante: Todos los alemanes saben hablar inglés All Germans can speak English ► Todos también se traduce por all para referirse al conjunto de individuos de un grupo pero, a diferencia de every, sin dar importancia a los elementos. En este caso el sustantivo lleva determinante y va en plural, como el verbo: Todos los libros de la biblioteca eran antiguos All the books in the library were old

    IV sustantivo masculino todo (total, suma) whole
    en todo o en parte, in whole or in part
    All y whole tienen significados parecidos, pero se usan en estructuras diferentes. All se coloca delante de un artículo, pronombre posesivo o demostrativo, mientras que whole se coloca después: all the world, pero the whole world; all your family, pero your whole family; all this time, pero this whole time. Recuerda que no puedes usar whole sin artículo o pronombre correspondiente ni con sustantivos que indican masa (incontables). Por tanto, la traducción de todo el vino es all the wine y no the whole wine.
    El plural todos o todo el mundo se traduce por everybody o everyone. Aunque el verbo acompañante aparezca en singular, cualquier pronombre que emplees debe estar en plural: Todos deben traer sus propios bolígrafos. Everybody has to bring their (own) pens.
