- delay paymentCHOICE OF WORDS:(1.) Русское "задерживать" соответствует в английском языке глаголам to delay и to detain. To delay указывает на то, что действие произошло позднее ожидаемого срока, с опозданием, и часто употребляется в форме пассива: the train was delayed by heavy snowfalls поезд опаздывал из-за снежных заносов. Глагол to detain обозначает "помешать сделать что-либо вовремя" и более официален, чем to delay: I was detained at work меня задержали на работе; I am sorry we are late, we were detained in a traffic jam простите, что мы опоздали, мы попали в пробку; I won't detain you any longer я не буду вас больше задерживать. (2.) Русское "задерживать" в значении "арестовывать" соответствует английскому глаголу to detain: the police have detained five participans of the demonstration полиция задержала пятерых участников демонстрации. (3.) See mind, v; USAGE (1.).
