•* * *corriente11 = tide, draught [draft, -USA], groundswell, flow, stream.Ex: What has happened is that yet another institution has so overlapped with our own that we are being swept along on the tide of the technological revolution.
Ex: Perhaps the sociological light was extinguished by the political draught of the time.Ex: The groundswell of movement towards integrating previously unrelated technologies and markets is now gathering a reasonable head of steam.Ex: The vocabulary used in conjunction with PRECIS is split in two sections, one part for Entities (or things) and the other for Attributes (properties of things, for example colour, weight; activities of things, for example flow, and properties of activities, for example, slow, turbulent).Ex: Voters felt the stream of news coming out of London had little to do with ordinary people.* agua corriente = running water.* con corrientes de aire = draughty [drafty, -USA].* corriente abajo = downstream.* corriente + arrastrar = wash up.* corriente arriba = upstream.* corriente de agua = water body [waterbody].* corriente de aire = air current, draught [draft, -USA].* corriente de chorro, la = jet stream, the.* corriente en chorro, la = jet stream, the.* corriente oceánica = ocean current.* corriente sanguínea, la = bloodstream, the.* llevarle la corriente a Alguien = play along with.* seguirle la corriente a Alguien = play along with.corriente22 = stream, electricity supply, mains electricity.Ex: If no such standards can be observed then, it would seem, romantic fiction along with westerns and detective stories must be regarded as some sort of cul-de-sac and rather stagnant backwater quite separate from the main stream of 'literature'.
Ex: Europe and Australia (where experimental transmissions have been going on for some time) have a 50 Hz electricity supply, 625 line transmissions, and two non-compatible colour systems, PAL and SECAM.Ex: Every electrical appliance that connects to mains electricity has a fuse, usually in the plug.* adaptador de corriente = power adapter, mains adapter.* cable con corriente = live wire.* corriente alterna = alternating current (AC).* corriente eléctrica = electrical current, electric current, electrical power.* Corriente Eléctrica Ininterrumpida (CEI) = Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).* corte de corriente = power cut, power failure.* corte de la corriente eléctrica = power failure, power cut.* luchar contra corriente = labour + against the grain.* regulador de corriente = current regulator.* seguridad contra corrientes eléctricas = electrical security.* toma de corriente = outlet, socket, socket outlet, light socket.* transformador de corriente = mains adapter, power adapter.corriente33 = trend, strand, current, movement.Ex: Current trends favour cataloguing practices which can be applied to a variety of library materials.
Ex: This article gives a brief history of the two main strands in the development of bibliotherapy, or healing through books, in the USA.Ex: This article examines the political shoals, currents, and rip tides associated with off campus library programmes and suggests that awareness and involvement are key ways to avoid running aground.Ex: The cathedral-like hush contrasted strangely with the clamor and movement outside.* contracorriente = cross-current.* corriente de pensamiento = trend of thought, stream of consciousness.* corriente dominante = mainstream.* corriente, lo = the normal run of.* corriente principal = mainstream.* dejarse arrastrar por la corriente = go with + the flow, go along with + the flow.* dejarse llevar por la corriente = go with + the flow, go along with + the flow.* en la corriente principal de = in the mainstream of.* ir con la corriente = go with + the flow, go along with + the flow.* ir en contra de la corriente = go against + the flow.* seguir la corriente = go with + the flow, go along with + the flow.corriente44 = ordinary, plain [plainer -comp., plainest -sup.], run-of-the-mill, everyday.Ex: Control is exercised over which terms are used, but otherwise the terms are ordinary words.
Ex: He went on to explain that while there were no unsightly slums, there was a fairly large district of rather nondescript homes intermingled with plain two- and three-family brick and frame dwellings, principally in the eastern reaches of the city.Ex: Guides are almost always worth thinking of as the first type of bibliography to search when it is a quick check of run-of-the-mill bibliographical facts which is required.Ex: We have too much invested, and the new systems too intimately integrated into the everyday operation of the library, for us to assume any longer that we can temper their influence on emerging standards.* al corriente = in step, paid-up, in good standing.* al corriente de = in step with.* catalogación corriente = current cataloguing.* común y corriente = unremarkable.* corriente y moliente = run-of-the-mill.* cuenta corriente = current account, checking account, deposit account.* día corriente = ordinary day.* estar al corriente = monitor + developments.* gente común y corriente, la = common people, the.* gente corriente, la = ordinary people.* hombre corriente, el = common man, the.* mantenerse al corriente = keep + current.* mantenerse al corriente de = keep + abreast of, stay + abreast of.* normal y corriente = unremarkable.* ponerse al corriente = come up to + speed.* ponerse al corriente de = catch up with, catch up on.* puesta al corriente = update [up-date].* * *A (que ocurre con frecuencia) common; (normal, no extraño) usual, normales un error muy corriente it's a very common mistakeese tipo de robo es muy corriente en esta zona robberies like that are commonplace o very common o an everyday occurrence in this areaun método poco corriente en la actualidad a method not much used nowadayslo corriente es efectuar el pago por adelantado the normal thing is to pay in advance, normally o usually you pay in advanceun cuchillo normal y corriente an ordinary o a common-or-garden knifees un tipo de lo más corriente he's just an ordinary guy ( colloq)es una tela muy corriente it's a very ordinary materialcorriente y moliente ( fam); ordinary, run-of-the-milles un vestido corriente y moliente it's just an ordinary dressnos hizo una comida corriente y moliente the meal he cooked us was very ordinary o run-of-the-millB1 (en curso) ‹mes/año› currentla inauguración está prevista para el día tres del corriente or de los corrientes the opening is planned for the third of this monthsu atenta carta del 7 del corriente ( frml); your letter of the 7th of this month o ( frml) the 7th inst2al corriente: estoy al corriente en todos los pagos I'm up to date with all the paymentsempezó el curso con retraso pero se ha puesto al corriente she started the course late but she has caught upquiero que me tengan or mantengan al corriente de las noticias que se reciban I want to be kept informed o ( colloq) posted about any news that comes inya está al corriente de lo que ha pasado she already knows what's happenedA (de agua) currentcorrientes marinas ocean currentsdejarse arrastrar or llevar por la corriente to go along with o follow the crowdir or nadar or navegar contra (la) corriente to swim against the tideseguirle la corriente a algn to humor sb, play along with sbCompuestos:stream of consciousnessHumboldt CurrentGulf Stream( Psic) stream of conciousnesscierra la ventana que hay mucha corriente shut the window, there's a terrible draftC (tendencia) trendlas nuevas corrientes de la moda the latest trends in fashionuna corriente de pensamiento a school of thoughtuna corriente de opinión contraria a esta tesis a current of opinion at odds with this ideaD ( Elec) currentuna corriente de 10 amperios a 10 amp currentme dio (la) corriente or ( Col) me cogió la corriente I got a shock o an electric shockse cortó la corriente en toda la calle there was a power cut which affected the whole streetno hay corriente en la casa there's no electricity o power in the houseCompuestos:alternating current, ACdirect current, DCtwo-phase currentelectric currentthree-phase current* * *

98 actually
В наиболее общем виде коммуникативный смысл частицы actually связан обычно с указанием на какой-либо актуальный факт как на факт реальной действительности, часто выступающий как нечто новое, неосознанное, а порой и неожиданное по сравнению с тем, что говорилось ранее, что обычно считается истинным, что думал собеседник. В этой связи функцию указания на действительное положение дел следует, пожалуй, считать базисной, изначальной функцией actually, от которой развились другие ее функции, часто встречающиеся в разговорной речи. В письменном, книжном языке указанная частица употребляется, в основном, именно в базисной функции, и здесь подходящими эквивалентами частицы могут служить русские на самом деле и действительно:
•... the people who were appointed to top posts never actually applied for them before they were approached (DL: 164)
... люди, назначаемые на высшие должности, на самом деле всегда подавали заявления лишь после того, как им предлагали это сделать.
Функция указания на действительное (в противоположность несуществующему) положение дел встречается, однако, не только в письменном стиле, но и в нейтральном, и в разговорном, где в качестве эквивалентов, в силу своей нейтральности, могут выступать те же, уже указанные выше слова:
• None of them actually saw the Monster.
Никто из них на самом деле не видел Лохнесское Чудовище.
•... it was just like being married, really, and when we actually got married it was a purely social event... (DL: 219)
... на самом деле мы жили в точности как муж и жена, а когда мы действительно поженились, это было чисто формальное мероприятие.
При сопоставлении в одном предложении двух фактов с точки зрения того, какой из них ближе к действительному положению вещей, actually может выполнять эмфатическую функцию и переводиться различными усилительными средствами:
•... it led to the development of mathematics which were viewed as akin to, if not actually identical with, the workings of the mind of God. (RS: 314)
... это привело к развитию математики, поскольку считалось, что математические процессы схожи с процессами, происходящими в уме Творца, а то и полностью совпадают с ними (или даже полностью совпадают с ними).
Одной из наиболее распространенных разговорных функций actually следует признать функцию привлечения внимания к актуальному для данной ситуации факту. В этом случае значение, приобретаемое частицей, становится близким к значениям русских вводных слов кстати, надо сказать и между прочим:
• And he did introduce us to two people. The Greek actor he said was going to play the poet. And the director. Another Greek. We all had dinner... actually we liked them both. (F: 341)
И он действительно познакомил нас с двумя людьми. С актером-греком, который, как он сказал, будет играть роль поэта. И режиссером. Тоже греком. Мы обедали все вместе... между прочим, они оба нам понравились.
• It's just a technique, actually rather a marvellous one, for helping you get into a part. (F: 292).
Это просто способ, кстати, очень даже неплохой способ помочь вам вжиться в роль.
С помощью частицы actually говорящий может не просто привлекать внимание к какому-либо факту, а использовать вводимое частицей высказывание в качестве уточнения, объяснения сказанного выше. В этом случае подходящим эквивалентом частицы может стать русское выражение дело в том, что (или частица вообще-то):
• - I suppose we both preferred our own company.
- That's not very complimentary of you.
- Sorry. I didn't mean to sound offensive. Actually, I was feeling rather dreary, and thought I'd better keep it to myself. (Pr: 126)
- Мне кажется, мы оба не хотели никого видеть.
- Это не очень-то вежливо с вашей стороны.
- Извините. Я не хотел никого обидеть. Дело в том, что я был в довольно дурном настроении и подумал, что мне лучше побыть одному.
Выступая в функции привлечения внимания к актуальному факту, частица actually может приобретать дополнительные оттенки смысла, а именно выражать противопоставление или поправку по отношению к предыдущему высказыванию. Однако приобретаемый частицей оттенок полемичности носит вежливый и мягкий характер, в связи с чем на роль ее эквивалента хорошо подходят русские частицы вообще и вообще-то (хотя часто возможно использование также и уже упомянутого выражения на самом деле). Рассмотрим ряд примеров:
• "But I thought he did something rather fine during the resistance." - "Not on your nelly. Actually he did a deal with the Germans." (F: 621)
"Но мне казалось, что он неплохо проявил себя в период Сопротивления." - "Ничего подобного. Он вообще сотрудничал с немцами."
В приведенном примере частица вводит факт, вступающий в отношение противопоставленности по отношению к высказыванию первого собеседника: герой не только не участвовал в Сопротивлении, но, напротив, сотрудничал с оккупантами.
• 'Have you two introduced yourselves?" - "We've met before, actually. In Genoa." (DL: 216)
"Вы представились друг другу?" - " Вообще-то мы уже встречались раньше. В Генуе."
• "Have you published much?" -"No, not a lot. Well, nothing, yet, actually. I am still working on my PhD." (DL: 10)
"У вас много публикаций?" - "Нет, не очень, вообще-то, пока на самом деле ни одной. Я ещё работаю над своей диссертацией."
В двух последних примерах видно, как с помощью частицы actually говорящий вводит коррекцию либо собственного высказывания, либо высказывания собеседника.
Особый интерес с точки зрения перевода представляют случаи, когда частица предваряет высказывание, подкрепляющее или усиливающее предыдущее. В этом случае в переводе необходимо отразить дополнительный эмотивный компонент смысла, появляющийся у частицы в таких контекстах, что позволяет сделать русская частица даже:
• Only one passenger has a hardback book on her lap, and actually seems to be making notes as she reads. (DL: 88)
Лишь у одной пассажирки на коленях лежит серьезная книга, и, читая, она, похоже, даже делает в ней пометки.
• 'Would you say you were a strikingly pretty little girl... were you conscious that there was something rather special about you?" - "... the answer is yes, I believe there was. Actually I was painted." (F: 602)
"Могли бы вы сказать, что были поразительно красивым ребенком... вы осознавали, что в вас есть что-то особенное?" - "... я отвечу да, я думаю, что-то было. Один художник даже писал мой портрет."
Эмотивный компонент удивления говорящего по поводу какого-либо факта реальной действительности в целом встречается достаточно часто и, в зависимости от контекста, может переводиться другими русскими средствами:
• Lampton, in the same position, made no attempt to escape, but devoted his attention to his studies, passing his main accountancy examination whilst actually a prisoner. (JB: 149)
Лэмптон в такой же ситуации не предпринял попытки бежать, а посвятил себя учебе, сдав свой основной экзамен по бухгалтерскому делу, фактически находясь в заключении.
• "What did he use to do at the orgies?" - "I don't know, darling. Mummy would never be very explicit. Though actually she seems proud of him." (JB: 155)
"А что он обычно делал во время этих оргий?" - "Не знаю, дорогой. Мама всегда отвечала на этот вопрос уклончиво. Хотя, как ни странно, она, кажется, гордится им."
Интересно также отметить случаи, когда частица actually употребляется для обозначения перехода от одной темы к другой или возврата к предыдущей или основной теме монолога. В этой функции частица может быть переведена различными функциональными эквивалентами в зависимости от контекста и в соответствии с принципом естественности звучания:
• "Nothing, old boy. Really. All damned absurd. Actually I was out walking one day. May or June, can't remember." (F: 622)
"Ничего, старина. Поверь мне. Все чертовски глупо. Ну, короче, вышел я раз прогуляться. Было это в мае или июне, сейчас не помню." (переход к более конкретному рассказу)
• "Не spoke English?" - "Perfect. Moved round Europe all his life, best society and all that. Well, actually I found one of the twins a shade off. Not my type. (F: 623)
"Он говорил по-английски?" - "Великолепно. Ездил по Европе всю свою жизнь, лучшее общество и все такое. Да, ну так вот, одна из девиц меня слегка разочаровала. Не в моем вкусе." (переход к основной теме разговора)
В заключение стоит сказать, что в разговорной речи иногда происходит почти полная десемантизация частицы actually, когда она используется фактически лишь для того, чтобы заполнить паузу или смягчить эффект неприятной для собеседника информации. Следующий пример иллюстрирует подобное употребление:
• "Well actually then there is only this. We've just advertised it." She handed me a clipping. (F: 22)
Мы видим, что actually, как и well, не несет в себе никакой информации, кроме чисто прагматической: героиня думает, как лучше преподнести собеседнику то, что ему, скорей всего, не понравится, что может его расстроить. В переводе возможно, наверное, обойтись вообще одним ну (на обе английские частицы), хотя добавление такого десемантизированного слова как, например, собственно (или в общем-то), в данном случае позволяет, на наш взгляд, дополнительно усилить прагматический эффект:
"Ну, собственно, тогда есть только это. Мы только что подали объявление в газету." Она протянула мне газетную вырезку.
Очевидно, однако, что перевод десемантизированной частицы будет в каждом конкретном случае сильно зависеть от контекста. -
