20 temper
n 1. характер; 2. самообладание; 3. раздражительность: to have a temper — быть вспыльчивым; to be in a temper — злиться, раздражаться; 4. настроение (1). Русское характер (как совокупность психических черт человека) передается английскими словами temper 1., nature и character. Существительные temper и nature обозначают поведение, привычки человека в повседневном общении с другими людьми. Существительное temper предполагает характер, сложившийся в результате жизненного опыта, общения с людьми и изменяющийся под их воздействием:Her temper improved with years — С годами у нее характер стал лучше;
to have a sociable (cool, cheerful) temper — быть по характеру общительным (хладнокровным, бодрым).
Существительное nature подразумевает врожденные, унаследованные свойства:a cruel (cheerful) person by nature — жестокий (веселый) по природе/по характеру человек.
Nothing could change his difficult nature — Ничто не могло изменить его трудный характер/нрав.
Существительное character, в отличие от temper, подразумевает оценку характера, психического склада человека с точки зрения моральных норм:a man of strong (of weak) character — человек сильного (слабого) характера.
(2). Существительное character имеет также значение, не свойственное русскому характер, а именно — персонаж, герой:the main character of the novel — главный герой романа.
(3). See hero, n.
