7 Evans, George Henry

(1805-1856) Эванс, Джордж Генри

Общественный деятель, публицист. В 1820 вместе с отцом иммигрировал в США из Великобритании, был подмастерьем в типографии в г. Итаке, шт. Нью-Йорк. В конце 20-х годов XIX основал собственную газету "Защитник рабочего" [The Working Man's Advocate], а в 1829 вместе с Р. Д. Оуэном [ Owen, Robert Dale] и Ф. Райт [ Wright, Frances] участвовал в создании одной из рабочих партий [ Workingmen's Parties]. В своей газете, а позднее в книге "История происхождения и развития Рабочей партии" ["History of the Origin and Progress of the Working Men's Party"] (1840) предложил программу реформ. Предположил, что можно сохранить высокие зарплаты в производственной сфере, имея "предохранительный клапан" (см Safety-Valve Doctrine) в виде дешевых сельскохозяйственных угодий. Выступая за изменение земельной политики, создал Национальную реформистскую ассоциацию [National Reform Association], выступавшую за создание гомстедов [ homestead] на Западе [ West] под лозунгом "Проголосуй за свою ферму" [ Vote Yourself a Farm]. Земельная программа Эванса нашла отражение в Законе о гомстедах 1862 [ Homestead Act]. Также выступал против монополий, включая Банк США [ Bank of the United States], тюремного заключения за долги и, в отличие от многих реформаторов своей поры, за равноправие женщин.

9 Kansas

Канзас

Штат Среднего Запада [ Midwest], относится к группе штатов Северо-Западного центра [ West North Central States]. На востоке граничит с штатом Миссури [ Missouri], на западе - с Колорадо [ Colorado], на севере - с Небраской [ Nebraska], на юге - с Оклахомой [ Oklahoma]. Площадь - 213,1 тыс. кв. км. Население - 2,6 млн. человек (2000). Столица - г. Топика [ Topeka]. Крупные города - Уичито [ Wichita], Канзас-Сити [ Kansas City], Атчисон [ Atchison], Эмпория [ Emporia], Хатчинсон [ Hutchinson]. Большая часть западного Канзаса расположена на Великих равнинах [ Great Plains], остальная территория представляет собой холмистые участки и широкие долины рек Канзас [ Kansas River], Арканзас [ Arkansas River] и их притоков. Теплый умеренный континентальный климат с неустойчивым количеством осадков. Важнейшие полезные ископаемые - нефть и природный газ (на юге штата). Первые месторождения газа открыты в 90-е гг. XIX в. До второй мировой войны Канзас был одним из крупнейших в стране производителей цинка. Сегодня экономика штата в целом считается процветающей и сбалансированной с преобладанием сельского хозяйства (по выращиванию пшеницы занимает первое место в стране). В промышленности ведущую роль играют производство транспортных средств (самолеты, автомобили, сельхозтехника) и химикатов, а также полиграфия. В штате имеется развитая транспортная сеть: его пересекают железные дороги Юнион-Пасифик [ Union Pacific Railroad] и Санта-Фе [ Santa Fe Southern Pacific Railroad], а также трансконтинентальные федеральные автострады номер 70 (восток-запад) и 35 (север-юг). Земли будущего штата были впервые исследованы Ф. де Коронадо [Coronado, Francisco Vasquez de] в 1541, когда здесь жили племена осейдж [ Osage], пауни [ Pawnee] и канза [ Kaw]. В конце XVII в. эти места объявила своим владением Франция, уступившая их испанцам в 1762 и восстановившая свое господство в 1800. США получили Канзас в 1803 в результате Луизианской покупки [ Louisiana Purchase]. Через территорию штата прошли многие экспедиции на Запад, в том числе экспедиции З. Пайка [ Pike, Zebulon Montgomery] (1806) и С. Лонга [ Long, Stephen Harriman] (1819-20), однако перспектив для освоения земель они здесь не нашли. Регион стал считаться частью "Великой американской пустыни" [ Great American Desert], непригодной для заселения, поэтому было решено использовать его для создания резерваций. Но уже к 50-м гг. XIX в., когда усилился поток переселенцев по Орегонской тропе [ Oregon Trail] и тропе Санта-Фе [ Santa Fe Trail], Территория Канзас [Kansas Territory] была открыта для заселения. После принятия закона "Канзас-Небраска" [ Kansas-Nebraska Act] (1854) началось массовое заселение штата выходцами как с Севера, так и Юга. Раскол между ними по вопросу о рабстве привел к многочисленным вооруженным столкновениям, и Территорию стали называть "истекающий кровью Канзас" [ Bleeding Kansas]. Избиратели Канзаса отвергли проект Лекомптонской конституции [ Lecompton Constitution], устанавливавшей рабство; в 1861 он вступил в Союз [ Union] согласно Уайандоттской конституции [ Wyandotte Constitution] (1859), которая действует до настоящего времени. В течение Гражданской войны [ Civil War] штат подвергался партизанским набегам с обеих сторон. В 70-е гг. XIX в. началось бурное заселение штата новыми иммигрантами, в основном выходцами из Германии, России и Швеции. Немцы-меннониты из России привезли с собой морозостойкие сорта озимой пшеницы, которые произвели революцию в сельском хозяйстве штата. Серьезной проблемой для фермеров на протяжении многих лет оставался засушливый климат с сильными ветрами и пыльными бурями, которые в середине 30-х годов XX в. несколько раз практически уничтожали посевы. После ряда бурь в 1953-55 власти штата начали программу борьбы с засухой, для чего были разработаны новые методы мелиорации и обработки земель и создана сеть искусственных водоемов. В политическом отношении у жителей штата сохранилась традиция голосовать за республиканцев, что восходит ко времени Закона о гомстедах [ Homestead Act], принятие которого ставилось в заслугу Республиканской партии.

* * *

pret. sing. bjó, 2nd pers. bjótt, mod. bjóst; plur. bjoggu, bjöggu, and mod. bjuggu, or even buggu; sup. búit, búið, and (rarely) contr. búð; part. búinn; pret. subj. bjöggi, mod. byggi or bjyggi; pres. sing. indic. bý; pl. búm, mod. búum: reflex. forms býsk or býst, bjósk or bjóst, bjöggusk, búisk, etc.: poët. forms with suffixed negative bjó-at, Skv. 3. 39: an obsolete pret. bjoggi = bjó, Fms. ix. 440 (in a verse); bjöggisk = bjósk, Hom. 118. [Búa is originally a reduplicated and contracted verb answering to Goth. búan, of which the pret. may have been baibau: by bûan Ulf. renders Gr. οικειν, κατοικειν; Hel. bûan = habitare; Germ. bauen; Swed. and Dan. bo. The Icel. distinguishes between the strong neut. and originally redupl. verb búa, and the transit. and weak byggja, q. v.: búa seems to be kindred to Gr. φύω, εφυσα (cp. Sansk. bhû, bhavâmi, Lat. fui); byggja to Lat. făcio, cp. Swed.-Dan. bygga, Scot. and North. E. to ‘big,’ i. e. to build; cp. Lat. aedificare, nidificare: again, the coincidence in sense with the Gr. οικος, οικειν, Lat. vicus, is no less striking, cp. the references s. v. bú above. Búa, as a root word, is one of the most interesting words in the Scandin. tongues; bú, bær, bygg, bygð, byggja, etc., all belong to this family: it survives in the North. E. word to ‘big,’ in the Germ. bauen ( to till), and possibly (v. above) in the auxiliary verb ‘to be.’]

A. NEUTER, to live, abide, dwell, = Gr. οικειν, Lat. habitare; sú synd sem í mér býr, Rom. vii. 17, 20; í mér, þat er í mínu holdi, býr ekki gott, 18; hann sem býr í ljósinu, 1 Tim. vi. 16; fyrir Heilagan Anda sem í oss býr, 2 Tim. i. 14; Látið Christs orð ríkulega búa meðal yðar, Col. iii. 16; þá trú … sem áðr fyr bjó í þinni ömmu Loide, 2 Tim. i. 5; þat hit góða sem í oss býr, 14; hann sem býr í ljósinu, þar einginn kann til að komast, 1 Tim. vi. 16; hence íbúð, living in, etc.; in many of those passages some Edd. of N.

B. ACTIVE, to make ready: the sense and form here reminds one of the Gr. ποιειν: [this sense is much used in Old Engl., esp. the part. bone, boon, or boun, ready, (‘boun to go,’ Chaucer, etc.); in later Engl. ‘boun’ was corrupted into ‘bound,’ in such naut. phrases as bound for a port, etc.: from this part, the ballad writers formed a fresh verb, to boun, ‘busk ye, boun ye;’ ‘busk’ is a remnant of the old reflex, búask, see Dasent, Burnt Njal, pref. xvi. note, and cp. below III.]

K. 84: of a belt with stones or artificial work, Fms. xi. 271: of a drinking-horn, D. N.

β. part., búinn at e-u, or vel búinn, metaph. endowed with, well endowed; at flestum í þróttum vel búinn, Nj. 61, Fms. x. 295; at auð vel búinn, wealthy, 410; vel búinn at hreysti ok allri atgörvi, Eg. 82; bezt at viti búinn, Fms. xi. 51.

II. particular use of the part. pass, ‘boun,’ ready, willing; margir munu búnir at kaupa, ready, willing to buy, Fms. vi. 218; hann kvaðsk þess fyrir löngu búinn, Ld. 66, Fms. iii. 123; nefna vátta at þeir eru búnir ( ready) at leysa kvið þann af hendi, Grág. i. 54; vóru allir til þess búnir, Fms. xi. 360: compar., engir menn sýna sik búnari ( more willing) til liðveizlu, Sturl. i. 103: the allit. phrase, vera boðinn og búinn til e-s, vide bjóða VI: denoting fitted, adapted, ek em gamall, ok lítt b. at ( little fit to) hefna sona minna, Nj. 200; þótt ek sé verr til b. en hann fyrir vanheilsu sakir, Fms. vii. 275; eiga við búið (mod. vera við búinn), to keep oneself ready, to be on one’s guard, Bs. i. 537.

β. neut. búið is used almost adverbially, on the point of, just about to; ok búið við skipbroti, Ísl. ii. 245; búið við váða miklum, Fms. ix. 310; sagði at þá var búit við geig mikinn með þeim feðgum, Eg. 158: this is rare and obsolete in mod. usage; and the Icel. now say, liggja við mér lá við að detta, where an old writer would have said, ek var búinn at detta; the sense would else be ambiguous, as búinn, vera búinn, in mod. usage means to have done; ég er búinn að eta, I have done eating; vera búinn að e-u (a work, business of any kind), to have done with it; also absol., eg er búinn, I have done; thus e. g. vera b. að kaupa, fyrir löngu b., b. at græða, leysa, etc., in mod. sense means to have done, done long ago; only by adding prepp. við, til (vera við búinn, til búinn) the part. resumes its old sense: on the other hand, búinn in the sense of having done hardly ever occurs in old writers.

γ. búð (búið) is even used adverbially = may be, may happen; with subj. with or without ‘at,’ búð, svá sé til ætlað, may be, it will come so to happen, Nj. 114; búð, dragi til þess sem vera vill, 185; búð, eigi fari fjarri því sem þú gazt til, id., Ed. Johns. 508, note c; búð, svá þykki sem ek grípa gulli við þá, 9, note 3; búð, eigi hendi hann slík úgipta annat sinn, 42; búð, ek láta annars víti at varnaði verða, 106; búð, vér þurfim enn hlífanna, Sturl. ii. 137 (vellum MSS.; um ríð, Ed., quite without sense), cp. also Eb. 27 new Ed.: in mod. usage it is freq. to say, það er búið, vel búið, albúið, etc., it is likely, most likely that …

δ. svá búit, adverbially, and proncd. as if one word, as matters stand, or even temp. at present, as yet; eigi mun hlýða svá búit, i. e. it will not do ‘so done,’ i. e. something else must be done, Eg. 507; eigi munu þér fá at unnit svá búið, i. e. not as yet, Fms. vii. 270; stendr þar nú svá búit (i. e. unchanged), um hríð, xi. 81; en berjask eigi svo búit, not fight as yet, Nj. 229; segja Eyjólfi til svá búins, they tell Eyolf the state of things, viz. that nothing had been done, Gísl. 41; þeir skildu við svá búit; þeir lögðu frá við svá búið, implying ‘vain effort,’ Germ. ‘unverrichteter Sache,’ Ísl. ii, Hkr. i. 340: at svá búnu, adverbially, as yet, at present; hann kvaðsk eigi fýsask til Íslands at svá búnu, Nj. 123, Fms. xi. 131; þenna draum segjum vér engum manni at svá búnu, this dream we will not tell to anybody as yet, Nj. 212; en at svá búnu tjár ekki, Fas. i. 364.

III. reflex. to ‘boun’ or ‘busk’ oneself, make oneself ready, equip oneself; gengu menn þá á skip sín, ok bjoggusk sem hvatligast, Fms. v. 15: adding the infinitive of a verb as predicate, bjósk hann at fara norðr til Þrandheims, Eg. 18; or ellipt., where búask thus denotes the act itself, nú býsk hann út til Íslands, i. e. he ‘busked’ him to go …, Nj. 10; bjoggusk þeir fóstbræðr í hernað, they went on a free-booting trip, Landn. 31; seg Agli at þeir búisk þaðan fimmtán, 94: or adding another verb denoting the act, in the same tense, bjósk Haraldr konungr úr Þrándheimi með skipaliði, ok fór suðr á Mæri, he ‘busked’ him … and went south, Eg. 7; the journey added in gen., búask ferðar sinnar, Fms. i. 3; búask menn ferða sinna, Ld. 177.

β. denoting intention, hidden or not put into action; fór sá kurr, at Skúli byggisk á land upp, Fms. ix. 483.

2. to prepare for a thing; búask við boði, veizlu, etc., Nj. 10, Korm. 10; b. (vel, kristilega) við dauða sínum, andláti sínu, (eccl.) to prepare for one’s death, Fs. 80, Bs. i. 74; búask við vetri, to provide for the winter, get store in, Fms. xi. 415; b. við úfriði, vii. 23.

β. to be on one’s guard, take steps to prevent a thing; nú ríða hér úvinir þínir at þér; skaltu svá við búask, i. e. be sure of that, make up thy mind, Nj. 264; bústu svá við, skal hann kveða, at …, Grág. ii. 244.

γ. such phrases as, búask um = búa um sik, to make one’s own bed, encamp, make oneself comfortable, Nj. 259; tjölduðu búðir ok bjöggusk vel um, 219; var hörð veðrátta, svá at ekki mátti úti um búask, Fms. x. 13. Ld. 348; in the last passage the verb is deponent.

3. metaph., b. við e-u, to expect, freq. in mod. usage; in phrases, það er ekki við að búast, it cannot be expected; búast við e-m, to expect a guest, or the like.

β. to intend, think about; eg býst við að koma, I hope to come; eg bjóst aldrei við því, I never hoped for that, it never entered my mind, and in numberless cases.

4. passive (very rare and not classical); um kveldit er matr bjósk = er m. var búinn, Fms. ix. 364.

HOME COUNTIES Los Home Counties son los condados que se encuentran en los alrededores de Londres: Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent y Middlesex, un alto porcentaje de cuya población se encuentra en buena posición económica. De ahí que el término Home Counties haya adquirido dimensiones culturales y a la gente que vive en ellos se les considere en general personas adineradas de clase media-alta que, además, tienen al hablar un acento muy particular, conocido como RP.

14 Republican Party

Республиканская партия

Одна из двух основных политических партий США, возникшая в 1854 на базе неудовлетворенности законопроектом "Канзас-Небраска" [ Kansas-Nebraska Act], широко распространившейся среди вигов [ Whigs] и демократов Севера США. В первые годы выражала интересы промышленно-торгового капитала Севера. Платформа республиканцев в ходе предвыборной кампании 1860 включала, помимо запрета на распространение рабства на территории северных штатов, требование введения высокого защитного тарифа на импортируемую продукцию, бесплатной раздачи гомстедов [ homestead] поселенцам и др. За 160 лет ее существования кандидаты от Республиканской партии на пост президента США одерживали победу в 22-х президентских избирательных кампаниях и занимали Белый дом [ White House] в общей сложности в течение 85 лет. На выборах 1994 впервые за много лет завоевала большинство в обеих палатах Конгресса (53 места из 100 в Сенате и 230 из 435 в Палате представителей). Имеет прозвище Великая старая партия [ Grand Old Party], символом партии является фигура слона [ Elephant, the]
