19 go postal

•• postal (to go postal)

•• Выражение to go postal представляет собой типичный пример языковой моды (см. статью vogue words, buzz words and catch phrases). Это словесное поветрие распространилось в 1990-х годах и – не столь уж частый случай в Америке – вызвало не просто полемику, а даже определенные социальные последствия, о чем несколько ниже. По смыслу оно не привнесло в язык ничего нового – это синоним таких выражений, как to go berserk, to go haywire или (с несколько иным оттенком) to go ballistic. Именно так оно определяется на Интернет-сайтах, следящих за новыми явлениями в английском языке (в известных мне словарях оно пока не зафиксировано).
•• Сайт The Phrase Finder (http://www.phrases.org.uk/):
•• go berserk. Originated in the USA in the 1990s, where there were several incidents of people going berserk and shooting numerous members of the public in post offices.
•• Сайт Logophilia (www.logophilia.com):
•• a euphemism for becoming stressed out to the point of losing it completely (это определение практически полностью соответствует смыслу русского выражения крыша поехала – см. статью об этом выражении в русско-английской части словаря).
•• На мой взгляд, наиболее точное представление о смысле, происхождении и коннотациях этого выражения дает определение с сайта хьюстонского Университета Райс (Rice University).
•• Сайт New Words in English (www.owlnet.rice.edu):
•• postal, adj. extremely hostile. [From the observation of postal workers going insane and killing fellow co-workers. Found most often in expressions go postal and get postal].
•• Теперь яснее, почему вокруг этого выражения, как у нас говорят, сыр-бор разгорелся. Приведу цитату из статьи в газете «Сан-Франциско кроникл»: “Going postal” is no longer just slang for crazed mass murder. It’s now a key phrase in a new computer game so violent that it has postal workers, well, up in arms. Called “Postal,” it features a gun-toting character who goes berserk. Throughout the game, players often hear a woman screaming, “He’s going postal!” Далее газета сообщает, что с осуждением подобного стереотипа, создающего ложное представление о тружениках американской почты, выступил руководитель почтового ведомства США (Postmaster General). Более того: Mail carriers’ union members are boycotting the game. Но, как это ни странно, во всяком случае для тех, кто считает США страной торжествующей политкорректности (см. статью policy, politics, politician), выражение to go postal закрепилось в речи.
•• Несколько слов о его переводе. В случаях, когда ясно, что оно обозначает не насилие или расправу над ни в чем неповинными людьми (см. выше slang for crazed mass murder), а просто крайне резкую реакцию на событие, в переводе следует прибегнуть к словам из семантического поля возмущение, недовольство: Publishers Go Postal Over New Rate Hikes (заголовок статьи в журнале Media Life). – Издатели возмущены новым повышением тарифов или несколько сильнее: Новое повышение тарифов вызвало взрыв возмущения среди издателей. Другое решение подсказывает пример из полемической статьи в газете «Бостон глоуб» (автор критикует позицию республиканской партии по проблеме ограничений на приобретение оружия): We won’t ask where the Republicans were when couriers and clerks went postal, killing their colleagues. – Не будем спрашивать, где были республиканцы, когда потерявшие рассудок курьеры и клерки расправлялись со своими коллегами. Аналогичный пример: Members of the crew tried to hold down a single individual, but the individual got up again and essentially went postal in the cockpit (PSI Tech Spot Report). – Члены экипажа попытались сдержать человека, действовавшего в одиночку, но тому удалось встать, после чего он стал крушить все вокруг себя в кабине самолета.

•• Несколько слов о его переводе. В случаях, когда ясно, что оно обозначает не насилие или расправу над ни в чем неповинными людьми (см. выше slang for crazed mass murder), а просто крайне резкую реакцию на событие, в переводе следует прибегнуть к словам из семантического поля возмущение, недовольство: Publishers Go Postal Over New Rate Hikes (заголовок статьи в журнале Media Life). – Издатели возмущены новым повышением тарифов или несколько сильнее: Новое повышение тарифов вызвало взрыв возмущения среди издателей. Другое решение подсказывает пример из полемической статьи в газете «Бостон глоуб» (автор критикует позицию республиканской партии по проблеме ограничений на приобретение оружия): We won’t ask where the Republicans were when couriers and clerks went postal, killing their colleagues. – Не будем спрашивать, где были республиканцы, когда потерявшие рассудок курьеры и клерки расправлялись со своими коллегами. Аналогичный пример: Members of the crew tried to hold down a single individual, but the individual got up again and essentially went postal in the cockpit (PSI Tech Spot Report). – Члены экипажа попытались сдержать человека, действовавшего в одиночку, но тому удалось встать, после чего он стал крушить все вокруг себя в кабине самолета.
