to jump over the hurdle

Толкование Перевод

1 через

Русскому пространственному предлогу через соответствуют across, through и over. Across означает 'через, с одной стороны на другую': мост через реку – bridge across the river. Through имеет значение 'через, сквозь' (обычно предполагает преодоление препятствия): пробираться через лес – to go through the forest Over означает 'через – поверх чего-л.': прыгать через барьер – to jump over the hurdle. Предлог времени через передается английским in (употребляется только по отношению к будущему времени): он закончит институт через два года – he will graduate in two years. По отношению к прошедшему употребляются наречия afterwards и later: через два часа (два часа спустя) все было готово – two hours afterwards all was ready и two hours later all was ready; он пришел через два часа (два часа спустя) – he came two hours afterwards или he came two hours later.
