13 граница

сущ.

1. border; 2. boundary; 3. frontier

Русское существительное граница используется для обозначения границы любого типа территориального разделения. Английские соответствия различают типы границ, которые обозначаются разными словами.

1. border — граница (имеет наиболее общее значение; нередко включает в себя значение существительного boundary; однако обозначает не только разделительную линию, но и прилегающие к ней по обе стороны территории): border towns — пограничные города; on the border — на границе; northern (old, new) borders — северные (старые, новые) границы; а strongly guarded border — хорошо охраняемая граница; a village on the border between two countries — селение на границе между двумя странами; border incidents — пограничные инциденты; border zone — пограничная зона; along the border — вдоль границы; within one's own borders — в пределах собственных границ; to cross the border — пересечь границу/перейти границу; to patrol the borders — нести пограничную службу; to live not far from the border — жить недалеко от границы The border runs along the river. — Граница проходит по реке. We were met at the border. — Нас встретили на границе. Не waited for us on the border. — Он ждал нас на границе. They travelled along a border road. — Они ехали по дороге, идущей вдоль границы./Они ехали вдоль границы. The guards at the border post would not let him in/through. — Пограничники на пограничном посту не пропустили его. His results were on the border line. — Его результаты были едва удовлетворительными.

2. boundary , boundaries — граница, разделительная межа (используется, когда речь идет о границе между более мелкими территориями внутри страны; предполагает вполне определенные географические пределы, признаваемые и соблюдаемые обеими сторонами; boundaries используется, когда пределы сопряженных территорий определены достаточно точно и могут быть нанесены на карту): the boundary between our farms — граница между нашими фермами; the boundary between these villages — граница между этими деревнями; the boundary between these towns — граница между этими городами; а boundary stone — межевой знак; to draw a boundary — провести границу The boundary between our farms followed the line of the river. — Граница между нашими фермами проходила вдоль реки.

They disagreed about the boundaries of political parties. — У них были разные мнения относительно состава политических партий.

3. frontier — граница, рубеж (используется для обозначения территориального разделения между странами, штатами и другими типами территорий, более крупных, чем в случае boundary; frontier предполагает укрепленную и охраняемую разделительную полосу с действующим паспортным режимом и таможенной службой; frontier может быть укреплена, например, минным полем, проволочным заграждением со стороны одной страны, что не предполагает таких же укреплений со стороны другой страны): a natural frontier — естественный рубеж; long (well-protected) frontiers — длинные (хорошо защищенные) границы; a frontier town — приграничный город; France's Italian frontier — франко-итальянская граница/граница между Францией и Италией; Russia's Polish frontier — русско-польская граница/граница между Россией и Польшей; to cross the frontier — пересечь границу They were shot trying to cross the frontier. — Они были застрелены при попытке пересечь границу./Их застрелили при попытке пересечь границу. Sweden has frontiers with Norway and Finland. — Швеция граничит с Норвегией и Финляндией. A frontier guard stopped them. — Их остановила пограничная охрана./ Их остановили пограничники. The frontiers of medical knowledge are being pushed further outward as time goes on. — С течением времени расширяются границы познаний в области медицины.
