- as simple as ABCASSOCIATIONS AND IMAGERY:Прямолинейная речь выглядит как простая, не красочная, простоватая - plain - эти ассоциации видны в следующих контекстах: She was famed for her plain speaking. Она была известна своей безыскусной речью. Every effort is made to write official documents in plain English. Официальные документы пытаются писать на доступном/понятном языке. He was plain - spoken almost to the point of rudeness. Он говорил простовато - прямолинейным языком, часто казавшимся грубоватым. Her prose is lucid and unadorned. Она пишет ясным/доступным языком, без каких-либо прикрас. I want you to give me the unvarnished truth. Я хочу, чтобы ты сказал мне всю, ничем не прикрытую, правду. It is said here in black and white you can get a visa provided you have a job. Правило написано черным по белому - виза не дается людям, не имеющим работы. И наоборот, нелапидарная речь ассоциируется с приукрашиванием: With each retelling Matt would add more embellishments to his story. При каждом новом пересказе история Мэтта становилась все более и более приукрашенной. Fancy writing is often used to obscuse the truth. Чтобы скрыть истину часто прибегают к языковым ухищрениям. Everyone embroiders the truth to some extent. Все в той или иной степени приукрашивают правду. Her colourful account of her life proved a huge success. Ее красочный рассказ о перипетиях ее жизни имел большой успех. They glossed over all the difficult questions. Все сложные вопросф они пытались приукрасить/скрыть за языковыми изысками -

12 Present simple and Present continuous
Настоящее простое и настоящее продолженное времена1) Present continuous используют при описании действий или событий, которые разворачиваются в момент речи или в настоящий период времени. Present simple используется при описании ситуаций, которые имеют место вообще, а не в какой-то определенный момент или период времени.I' m washing my hair — Я сейчас мою голову.
I wash my hair every day — Я каждый день мою голову.
I' m working in the bank now — Я сейчас работаю в банке (временно).
I work in the bank — Я работаю в банке.
It is raining — Идет дождь.
It usually rains in autumn — Осенью обычно идет дождь
2) Present continuous используется, если нужно указать на то, что некоторое положение дел понимается как временное.People give money to charity — Люди дают деньги на благотворительность (Людям свойственно давать деньги на благотворительность).
People are giving more money to charity these days — В наше время люди больше жертвуют на благотворительность (некоторое временное положение дел)
3) При описании изменений, даже перманентных, используют Present continuous.The population of the world is rising fast — Население мира быстро растет.
4) С глаголами - речевыми действиями, такими как acknowledge - признавать, advise - советовать, apologize - извиняться, assume - полагать, deny - отрицать, guarantee - гарантировать, inform - сообщать, predict - предсказывать, promise - обещать, recommend - рекомендовать, suggest - предлагать, suppose - предполагать, warn - предупреждать употребляется Present simple.I admit he is right — Я признаю (допускаю), что он прав.
He apologizes — Он просит прощения.
I strongly recommend you to read this book — Я настоятельно рекомендую вам прочесть эту книгу.
5) При описании физического ощущения с помощью глаголов feel, hurt, ache используется как Present continuous, так и Present simple без особой разницы в значении.6) С глаголами состояния ( State verbs), как правило, используется Present simple, а не Present continuous.I like her — Она мне нравится.
•— Использование настоящего простого и настоящего продолженного времен при описании повторяющихся действий см. Present simple and Present continuous: repeated actions
