Лебедь. Глагол to swan (дефилировать, двигаться, как лебедь) чаще всего можно встретить в выражениях to swan around, swan off или swan about — передвигаться без усилия, легко и плавно. Это слово стало употребляться во время Второй мировой войны в среде британских военнослужащих и обозначало танк, двигающийся, на первый взгляд, без усилий по полю боя, как лебедь, скользящий по поверхности пруда. Длинный пушечный ствол танка был похож на длинную шею птицы. Выражение прижилось и в настоящее время обозначает медленное, вялое движение или бесцельное передвижение.You have a pleasant life. If you feel like it, you swan off to the South of France and come back whenever you want. — Ты замечательно живёшь. Хочешь, отчаливаешь на юг Франции и возвращаешься назад, когда пожелаешь.

- slide on the ice- slide down the railings
- sliding doorsCHOICE OF WORDS:Русскому глаголу скользить соответствует в английском языке ряду глаголов, которые описывают разные дополнительные характеристики скользящих движений - to slide, to slitter, to glide, to slip, to skid. Глагол to slide - скользить, кататься, описывает плавное скользящее движение людей и предметов, особенно по льду: Outside children were sliding around on the icy sidewalk. На улице дети скользили по покрытому льдом тротуару. Several glasses slid the tray and crashed on the floor. Несколько стаканов соскользнули с подноса и с грохотом разбились на полу. We slipped and slid, losing our balance on the ice. Мы, тееряя равновесие, скользили на льду. Глагол to slither - скользить, ускользать, выскользнуть, описывает скольжение, сопровождающееся движениями тела из стороны в сторону: She snake slithered away through the tall grass. Змея ускользнула через высокую траву. As Kate fell asleep, her book fell from her hand and slithered off the bed. Катя заснула, книга выпала у нее из рук и соскользнула на пол. Four small boys came slithering through the crowd to the front so that they could see better. Четыре маленьких мальчика пробирались вперед через толпу, чтобы лучше видеть происходящее. Глагол to glide описывает скользящее плавное движение по любой поверхности и не относится к машинам и механизмам: A swan glided across the surface of the lake. Лебедь плано скользил по поверхности озера. The servants glided silently around the room holding silver trays. Слуги молча плавно двигались по комнате, держа в руках серебряные подносы. Your skis should glide naturally as you move across the snow. Лыжи будут сами скользить, когда вы будете двигаться по снегу. Глагол to slip - поскользнуться и упасть, особенно случайно: These glasses are too heavy, they keep slipping down my nose. Эта оправа очень тяжелая, и очки все время соскальзывают мне на нос. As the boys went down the path they slipped on the leaves. Спускаясь по тропинке, мальчики скользили и падали на мокрых листьях.

Он потерял упраление велосипедом и велосипед занесло на дороге -
15 Fairbairn, William
SUBJECT AREA: Ports and shipping[br]b. 19 February 1789 Kelso, Roxburghshire, Scotlandd. 18 August 1874 Farnham, Surrey, England[br]Scottish engineer and shipbuilder, pioneer in the use of iron in structures.[br]Born in modest circumstances, Fairbairn nevertheless enjoyed a broad and liberal education until around the age of 14. Thereafter he served an apprenticeship as a millwright in a Northumberland colliery. This seven-year period marked him out as a man of determination and intellectual ability; he planned his life around the practical work of pit-machinery maintenance and devoted his limited free time to the study of mathematics, science and history as well as "Church, Milton and Recreation". Like many before and countless thousands after, he worked in London for some difficult and profitless years, and then moved to Manchester, the city he was to regard as home for the rest of his life. In 1816 he was married. Along with a workmate, James Lillie, he set up a general engineering business, which steadily enlarged and ultimately involved both shipbuilding and boiler-making. The partnership was dissolved in 1832 and Fairbairn continued on his own. Consultancy work commissioned by the Forth and Clyde Canal led to the construction of iron steamships by Fairbairn for the canal; one of these, the PS Manchester was lost in the Irish Sea (through the little-understood phenomenon of compass deviation) on her delivery voyage from Manchester to the Clyde. This brought Fairbairn to the forefront of research in this field and confirmed him as a shipbuilder in the novel construction of iron vessels. In 1835 he operated the Millwall Shipyard on the Isle of Dogs on the Thames; this is regarded as one of the first two shipyards dedicated to iron production from the outset (the other being Tod and MacGregor of Glasgow). Losses at the London yard forced Fairbairn to sell off, and the yard passed into the hands of John Scott Russell, who built the I.K. Brunel -designed Great Eastern on the site. However, his business in Manchester went from strength to strength: he produced an improved Cornish boiler with two firetubes, known as the Lancashire boiler; he invented a riveting machine; and designed the beautiful swan-necked box-structured crane that is known as the Fairbairn crane to this day.Throughout his life he advocated the widest use of iron; he served on the Admiralty Committee of 1861 investigating the use of this material in the Royal Navy. In his later years he travelled widely in Europe as an engineering consultant and published many papers on engineering. His contribution to worldwide engineering was recognized during his lifetime by the conferment of a baronetcy by Queen Victoria.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsCreated Baronet 1869. FRS 1850. Elected to the Academy of Science of France 1852. President, Institution of Mechnical Engineers 1854. Royal Society Gold Medal 1860. President, British Association 1861.BibliographyFairbairn wrote many papers on a wide range of engineering subjects from water-wheels to iron metallurgy and from railway brakes to the strength of iron ships. In 1856 he contributed the article on iron to the 8th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica.Further ReadingW.Pole (ed.), 1877, The Life of Sir William Fairbairn Bart, London: Longmans Green; reprinted 1970, David and Charles Reprints (written in part by Fairbairn, but completed and edited by Pole).FMW -

20 Mitchell, Charles
SUBJECT AREA: Ports and shipping[br]b. 20 May 1820 Aberdeen, Scotlandd. 22 August 1895 Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne, England[br]Scottish industrialist whose Tyneside shipyard was an early constituent of what became the Vickers Shipbuilding Group.[br]Mitchell's early education commenced at Ledingham's Academy, Correction Wynd, Aberdeen, and from there he became a premium apprentice at the Footdee Engineering Works of Wm Simpson \& Co. Despite being employed for around twelve hours each day, Mitchell matriculated at Marischal College (now merged with King's College to form the University of Aberdeen). He did not graduate, although in 1840 he won the chemistry prize. On the completion of his apprenticeship, like Andrew Leslie (founder of Hawthorn Leslie) and other young Aberdonians he moved to Tyneside, where most of his working life was spent. From 1842 until 1844 he worked as a draughtsman for his friend Coutts, who had a shipyard at Low Walker, before moving on to the drawing offices of Maudslay Sons and Field of London, then one of the leading shipbuilding and engineering establishments in the UK. While in London he studied languages, acquiring a skill that was to stand him in good stead in later years. In 1852 he returned to the North East and set up his own iron-ship building yard at Low Walker near Newcastle. Two years later he married Anne Swan, the sister of the two young men who were to found the company now known as Swan Hunter Ltd. The Mitchell yard grew in size and reputation and by the 1850s he was building for the Russian Navy and Merchant Marine as well as advising the Russians on their shipyards in St Petersburg. In 1867 the first informal business arrangement was concluded with Armstrongs for the supply of armaments for ships; this led to increased co-operation and ultimately in 1882 to the merger of the two shipyards as Sir W.G.Armstrong Mitchell \& Co. At the time of the merger, Mitchell had launched 450 ships in twenty-nine years. In 1886 the new company built the SS Gluckauf, the world's first bulk oil tanker. After ill health in 1865 Mitchell reduced his workload and lived for a while in Surbiton, London, but returned to Tyneside to a new house at Jesmond. In his later years he was a generous benefactor to many good causes in Tyneside and Aberdeen, to the Church and to the University of Aberdeen.[br]Further ReadingD.F.McGuire, 1988, Charles Mitchell 1820–1895, Victorian Shipbuilder, Newcastle upon Tyne: City Libraries and Arts.J.D.Scott, 1962, Vickers.
