- be sure to do smth- be sure not to do it

- be sure to tell me about it•USAGE:(1.) Русское "быть уверенным в чём-либо" передается в английском языке конструкциями с прилагательными sure и certain. I'm sure (that) обозначает высокую степень уверенности, оставляя, однако, возможность того, что высказанное мнение может не подтвердиться, в отличие от I'm certain, которое выражает абсолютную уверенность в справедливости утверждения, основанную на реальном знании фактов и обстоятельств, возможно, неизвестных собеседнику. Такое же различие относится к наречиям surely и certainly: I'm sure he didn't write it/Surely he didn't write it, he is not that sort of person. Не может быть/Я не думаю, чтобы он это написал, не такой он человек. ср. I'm certain he didn't write it/He certainly didn't write it, I wrote it myself. Он это, безусловно, не писал, это написал я сам. (2.) Конструкции to be sure (that) и to be certain (that) не различаются по значению в отрицательных предложениях: I'm not sure/certain how to spell the word (where he put is, that it is so). (3.) Конструкции to be sure to do smth и to be sure of doing smth передают различное отношение говорящего к действию. To be sure to do smth передает уверенность, определенность того, что действие будет совершено и соответствует русскому обязательно: He is sure to come/He will definitely come. Конструкция to be sure of doing smth обозначает только намерение, мнение говорящего, однако говорящий может и ошибаться: Before the game started he was sure of winning, but ten minutes he began to doubt it. Перед началом матча он был уверен в победе, но уже через 10 минут стал в этом сомневаться. (4.) Sure в конструкции с последующим придаточным sure that (where, why, etc) употребляется только при одушевленном подлежащем. В безличных предложениях употребляется только certain. Cp. I am sure that our team will win the game, но It is certain that our team will win the game. (5.) To be sure с последующим инфинитивом to be sure to do smth соответствует в русском языке словам обязательно, безусловно, непременно: he is (was) sure to phone you to-night и подразумевает действие в будущем; конструкция to be sure to do smth отличается от конструкции to be sure and do smth; последняя обозначает настоятельную просьбу, увещевание и употребляется только в форме повелительного наклонения: Be sure and phone me. Смотри, обязательно позвони мне. These are very useful books, be sure and buy one. Это очень полезные книги, непременно купи себе такую -

‘As you feel so keenly in your own purse and person the consequences of inattention to business, ma'am,’ said Ralph, ‘I am sure you will impress upon your children the necessity of attaching themselves to it, early in life.’ (Ch. Dickens, ‘Nicholas Nickleby’, ch. X) — - Раз вы на самой себе и своем кошельке так остро испытываете последствия пренебрежительного отношения к делам, - заметил Ральф, - то я уверен, вы с детства внушаете детям, как важны трудолюбие и добросовестность.
