  • 15 commit

    •• commitment, commit

    •• Commit 1. to do, to perform.... 3. to pledge, to bind with an obligation (The Random House Dictionary).
    •• Чаще всего слово commitment, не долго думая, переводят приверженность. Но это слово, довольно формальное и бесцветное, мало что говорит русскому слуху. При переводе лучше идти от существительного к глаголу. Например: We share a commitment to human rights. – И вы, и мы верим в права человека. I have made a commitment to this program. – Я решил поддержать эту программу.
    •• В современном английском языке слова commitment и commit отличаются высокой частотностью. Скажем, в короткой статье в газете The Independent они встречаются три раза, и каждый раз переводчик может испытывать трудности:
    •• 1. Mr. Allegre has alarmed Washington by suggesting he might abandon, or reduce France’s commitment to the grandiose scheme to build a permanent international orbiting space station. Здесь commitment – участие;
    •• 2. France will take part in the station’s construction but is refusing to commit itself to the manned space activities that will follow. Здесь commit - взять на себя обязательство, но слово участвовать все равно «всплывает» в переводе: Франция примет участие в создании станции, однако она не берет на себя обязательства участвовать в последующей программе пилотируемых полетов;
    •• 3. Despite the squeeze on public spending, the new Socialist-led government in France is deeply committed to its space program. – ...твердо намерено продолжать свою космическую программу.
    •• Среди русских слов, которые описывают «семантическое поле» слова commitment в разных оттенках его значения, отметим обязанность, обязательство, решение, выбор, ориентация, политика, намерение, линия, курс. В некоторых примерах они как бы сливаются в одно целое. China has come to appreciate that WTO entry is not a one-time deal, but rather a long-term commitment to a pervasive system of rules and transparency (World Link). В переводе можно было бы сказать так: ...членство в ВТО – не единовременная сделка, а выбор системы, предполагающий строгое соблюдение правил игры и информационную открытость.
    •• Аналогичный пример: ...political commitment to private ownership as the engine of economic growth (Time). – ...политический выбор в пользу...
    •• Более трудный случай: What we were looking for was that extra level of commitment from the employees – in making suggestions, and most of all in being flexible (Time). Здесь, пожалуй, подойдут слова ответственность, заинтересованность, а может быть, готовность пойти навстречу (работодателю). Такое употребление слов commitment, committed встречается часто: Work in Russia is changing, and competent, committed professionals want to understand how to ensure their organizations’ success. [...] Businesses in Russia need to have their people be fully committed to taking accountability for the organization’s success (Career Forum). Commitment replaces Beattie’s moral passivity and deadpan style (New York Times). В последнем примере контекст подсказывает перевод неравнодушное отношение.
    •• Еще один пример контекстуального перевода этого слова – заинтересованность. De Gaulle presupposed an American commitment to the rump of liberal Europe (D.Mahoney). – Де Голль исходил из заинтересованности США в сохранении того, что оставалось от либеральной Европы.
    •• Другие варианты контекстуального перевода: активность, активное участие/роль и т.п. America was reaching a point where global commitment was turning into overextension (Henry Kissinger). – Америка приближалась к рубежу, когда глобальная активность (активное участие в мировых делах) оборачивалась переоценкой собственных возможностей.
    •• Интересен глагол to commit (oneself) в значении принять окончательное решение: he is considering the offer but he has not yet committed (himself). В слове commitment есть смысловой параметр, вытекающий именно из этого значения. Знание этого облегчает перевод. Еще один пример из книги Генри Киссинджера Diplomacy: [Kennedy’s] choices [became] more stark, and the consequences of either commitment or withdrawal more painful and costly. В переводе: ...последствия либо решительных действий, либо вывода войск... If [Vietnam] is this important, it may be worth a larger commitment on our part (David Halberstam). – Если Вьетнам так важен, то, может быть, нам следует действовать более решительно.

    b. 30 October 1827 Edinburgh, Scotland
    d. c.1900 Glasgow, Scotland
    [br]
    Scottish civil engineer responsible for the River Clyde in the period of expansion around the end of the nineteenth century.
    [br]
    On completing his schooling, Deas spent some years in a locomotive manufacturing shop in Edinburgh and then in a civil engineer's office. He selected the railway for his career, and moved upwards through the professional ranks, working for different companies until 1864 when he became Engineer-in-Chief of the Edinburgh \& Glasgow Railway. This later became the North British Railway and after some years, in 1869, Deas moved to the Clyde Navigation Trust as their Engineer. For thirty years he controlled the development of this great river, and with imaginative vision and determined hard work he saw a trebling in revenue, length of quayage and water area under the Trust's jurisdiction. His office worked on a wide range of problems, including civil engineering, maintenance of harbour craft and the drafting of reports for the many Parliamentary Acts required for the extension of Glasgow Harbour. To understand the immensity of the task, one must appreciate that the River Clyde then had sixty-five shipyards and could handle the largest ships afloat. This had come through the canalization of the old meandering and shallow stream and the difficult removal of the river bed's rock barriers.

    b. 1810
    d. 1878
    [br]
    Scottish inventor and builder of the first pedal-operated bicycle.
    [br]
    Macmillan was the blacksmith at the village of Courthill, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. Before 1839, bicycles were of the draisienne or hobby-horse type, which were propelled by the rider's feet pushing alternately on the ground. Macmillan was the first to appreciate that two wheels placed in line could be balanced while being propelled by means of treadles and cranks fitted to one of the axles. His machine, completed in 1839, had wooden wheels shod with iron tyres, and a curved wooden frame which was forked to take the rear axle; the front, steering wheel was carried in an iron fork. The axles ran in brass bearings. Cranks were keyed to the rear axle which was driven by rods connected to two swinging arms; these were pivotted from the frame near the pivot of the front fork, and had foot treadles at their lower ends. Macmillan frequently rode this machine the 22.5 km (14 miles) from Courthill to Dumfries. In 1842 he was fined five shillings at the Gorbals Police Court for knocking over a child at the end of a 64 km (40 mile) ride from Courthill to Glasgow.
    Although several people copied Macmillan's machine over the next twenty years and it anticipated the rear-driven safety bicycle by some forty years, it did not prove popular.
