10 empower
•• empower, empowering, empowerment
•• Empower to give power or authority to (Oxford American Dictionary).
•• Многие считают, что это не более чем модное словечко, за которым мало что стоит. Я думаю, что это не совсем так. Видимо, слово вошло в широкое употребление взамен гораздо более простого help. Говорю так потому, что почти всегда глагол to empower можно заменить глаголом to help, и «смысловой катастрофы» не произойдет. Но в то же время ясно, что не всем нравится быть в положении стороны, которой помогают. И это следует учитывать при переводе. Поэтому, например, одной из целей конференции ООН по положению женщин объявлялось empowering women at the grass roots level, а рекламная брошюра одного из кенийских банков называется Empowering the Common Man: Cooperative Bank of Kenya. По-настоящему удачных переводов этого слова мне не встречалось, а заимствование его русским языком затруднительно (дело в том, что русский язык легче ассимилирует слова греко-латинского происхождения, чем англосаксонские, особенно многосложные). Пробовались разные варианты, особенно для слова empowerment: предоставление возможностей, повышение роли, даже обретение своей (достойной) роли, своего места и т.п. Все это довольно неуклюже, хотя смысл в общем передает.
•• Мне кажется, что в основе, в глубинном значении слова empowerment лежит идея самостоятельности (или, как раньше говорили, самодеятельности) – обретения самостоятельной роли или содействия в достижении самостоятельности. В английском языке нет слова, адекватно выражающего отличие формальной, политической независимости (independence) или технической автономии (autonomy) от самостоятельности как способности «стоять самому». До некоторой степени этот пробел восполняет слово self-reliance (опора на собственные силы). Исподволь ту же роль выполняет и слово empowerment. Если согласиться с такой трактовкой, то легче понять и перевести такую, например, фразу: When I speak in urban grade schools, their No. 1 issue is rain forest! That is disempowering, when these communities are surrounded by incinerators and toxic dumps (Time). Пожалуй, говорящий упрекает школьников в отсутствии самостоятельного мышления, просто в несамостоятельности.
•• Итак, сегодня это слово в моде. Как будет дальше – мне неведомо. Может быть, оно просто выйдет из моды. В устном переводе не грех иногда пойти на упрощение («жертву качества») и просто сказать помощь. А глагол to empower совсем не обязательно «терминологичен» и в конкретном контексте легко поддается переводу. Вот пример из статьи в журнале Newsweek, посвященной католической монахине матери Терезе: In order to pull people out of poverty, it is important first to empower them with the hope that change is possible. В этом контексте вполне адекватен такой, например, вариант перевода: Для того чтобы избавить людей от бедности, важно сначала окрылить их надеждой на то, что перемены возможны.

15 career anchor
HRa guiding force that influences people’s career choices, based on self-perception of their own skills, motivation, and values. The term was coined by Edgar Schein in Career Anchors: Discovering Your Real Values, published in 1985. He believed that people develop one underlying anchor, perhaps subconsciously, that they are unwilling to give up when faced with different pressures. Schein distinguishes several career anchor groups such as technical/ functional competence, managerial competence, creativity, security or stability, and autonomy.
