3 shadow
There is an established distinction in the significations of 'shade' and 'shadow' <...> 'Shadow' is the obscurity made by the interception of light by an object, in the figure or shape of the object. 'Shade' is a like obscurity without reference to figure. 'Shade' is used when protection only from the rays of the sun is intended. The farmer, to cool and refresh himself, says, I will go into the 'shade' of a tree--never into the 'shadow'. Hence, when there is no reference to figure, but to protection only, the word 'shade' should always be used. ( Noah Webster)Русско-английский словарь механических и общенаучных терминов > shadow

19 тень
Существительному тень соответствуют английские shade и shadow. Тень в значении 'пространство, куда не проникают лучи солнца' – shade: сидеть в тени – to sit in the shade. 'Тень, отбрасываемая человеком или предметом' передается словом shadow: отбрасывать тень – to cast a shadow. (Ср. the shadow of a shade 'нечто совершенно нереальное, почти сведенное на нет'.) Тень в значении 'нечто призрачное, подобное тени' эквивалентно английскому shadow: от него осталась одна тень – he is a mere shadow of his own self, она превратилась в тень – she is worn to a shadow. Светотень переводится английским light and shade: удивительное искусство светотени делает картины Рембрандта особенно выразительными – the wonderful skill of light and shade makes Rembrandt's pictures especially expressive. Русское 'тень – призрак' передается английскими shadow и ghost: тени прошлого – shadows of the past, тень отца Гамлета – ghost of Hamlet's father.Трудности английского языка (лексический справочник).
