9 высокий
Прилагательному высокий соответствуют английские high, tall и lofty, различающиеся оттенками значения. High предполагает большую протяженность снизу вверх (особенно часто о том, что возвышается над основанием, фундаментом или о том, что поднято на значительную высоту над плоскостью): высокая гора – high mountain, высокое здание – high building, высокий потолок – high ceiling. Tall имеет в виду высокий рост: человек высокого роста – tall person, а также большую высоту в сравнении с предметами того же рода (особенно о предметах с небольшим диаметром): высокий шест – tall pole. Lofty часто встречается в языке поэзии; в повседневном употреблении применяется к предметам, имеющим очень большую высоту: очень высокая горная вершина – very high mountain peak или lofty mountain peak. Lofty встречается в сочетании с отвлеченными существительными: высокое призвание – lofty calling, высокие цели – lofty aims (ср. русск. высокий и возвышенный).Трудности английского языка (лексический справочник).
