We need to do it. (введено подлежащее) This should be done. (глагол в пассиве)4. Перевод безличных предложений.It is - в качестве тематического подлежащегоПроводить тренировку лучше днем или вечером. – It is best to do these exercises in the afternoon or evening.Легче попасть в беду, чем выпутаться из нее. – It is easier to get into trouble than out of it.5. Если прямое дополнение, обозначающее предмет действия, превращается в английском предложении в подлежащее, то сказуемое выражается при помощи пассивной глагольной конструкции.Толкали его. – He was pushed.Первые шаги в этой области предприняла ЮНЕСКО. – The first steps in this field were taken by UNESCO.6. Неопределенно-личные конструкции переводятся пассивом.Говорят, он хороший актер. – He is said to be a good actor.Ее считают способной учительницей. – She is considered a good teacher. Нам внушали, что наша система лучше. – We have been led to believe/told that our system is better.Иногда глагол можно заменить существительным:Готовились праздновать Новый год. – Preparations were under way/begun for celebrating New Year.7. Безличная конструкция с инфинитивом переводится при помощи местоимения it или личного местоимения.Радоваться нам надо, а не плакать. – We should be happy and not cry/instead of crying.Не надо так говорить. – You must not say that/You shouldn’t talk like that. Что делать? – What should we/you do?8. Русское прилагательное, помещенное на начальное место в предложении с целью выделения, может потребовать при переводе на английский, помимо изменения порядка слов, использования усилительного слова или конструкции.Прекрасный ты испекла торт! – What a fantastic cake you baked!Видела я первые его шаги. – I saw him take his very first steps. Голодная я! – Am I starving!/Because I’m hungry, that’s why! Невероятная это была история. – It was an absolutely unbelievable story.9. Разделение в русском предложении словосочетания с целью логического выделения одного из слов может обусловить наличие в предложении двух интонационных центров.Замечательный у тебя муж! – What a wonderful husband you have!Очень сильно девочка ушиблась вчера. – She really got badly bruised yesterday. Триста ты мне должен долларов, дорогой! – That’s tree hundred you owe me, kiddo!10. Интонационное выделение слова, стоящего в непривычной для себя начальной позиции, показывает, что именно оно особенно важно для говорящего. Такой инвертированный порядок слов характерен для вопросительных предложений в разговорном стиле.Он к вам приходит когда? – When is it he’s coming to see you?А говорит он ей что? – So what is he telling her?***Ваня, мне кажется, не пришел. ( интонационное выделение имени собственного) – I don’t think Vanya came.Словарь переводчика-синхрониста (русско-английский) > СИНТАКСИС

Голодная я! – Am I starving!/Because I’m hungry, that’s why! Невероятная это была история. – It was an absolutely unbelievable story.9.

Триста ты мне должен долларов, дорогой! – That’s tree hundred you owe me, kiddo!10. Интонационное выделение слова, стоящего в непривычной для себя начальной позиции, показывает, что именно оно особенно важно для говорящего. Такой инвертированный порядок слов характерен для вопросительных предложений в разговорном стиле.Он к вам приходит когда? – When is it he’s coming to see you?А говорит он ей что? – So what is he telling her?***Ваня, мне кажется, не пришел. ( интонационное выделение имени собственного) – I don’t think Vanya came.Русско-английский словарь переводчика-синхрониста > СИНТАКСИС

7 Whitworth, Sir Joseph
[br]b. 21 December 1803 Stockport, Cheshire, Englandd. 22 January 1887 Monte Carlo, Monaco[br]English mechanical engineer and pioneer of precision measurement.[br]Joseph Whitworth received his early education in a school kept by his father, but from the age of 12 he attended a school near Leeds. At 14 he joined his uncle's mill near Ambergate, Derbyshire, to learn the business of cotton spinning. In the four years he spent there he realized that he was more interested in the machinery than in managing a cotton mill. In 1821 he obtained employment as a mechanic with Crighton \& Co., Manchester. In 1825 he moved to London and worked for Henry Maudslay and later for the Holtzapffels and Joseph Clement. After these years spent gaining experience, he returned to Manchester in 1833 and set up in a small workshop under a sign "Joseph Whitworth, Tool Maker, from London".The business expanded steadily and the firm made machine tools of all types and other engineering products including steam engines. From 1834 Whitworth obtained many patents in the fields of machine tools, textile and knitting machinery and road-sweeping machines. By 1851 the company was generally regarded as the leading manufacturer of machine tools in the country. Whitworth was a pioneer of precise measurement and demonstrated the fundamental mode of producing a true plane by making surface plates in sets of three. He advocated the use of the decimal system and made use of limit gauges, and he established a standard screw thread which was adopted as the national standard. In 1853 Whitworth visited America as a member of a Royal Commission and reported on American industry. At the time of the Crimean War in 1854 he was asked to provide machinery for manufacturing rifles and this led him to design an improved rifle of his own. Although tests in 1857 showed this to be much superior to all others, it was not adopted by the War Office. Whitworth's experiments with small arms led on to the construction of big guns and projectiles. To improve the quality of the steel used for these guns, he subjected the molten metal to pressure during its solidification, this fluid-compressed steel being then known as "Whitworth steel".In 1868 Whitworth established thirty annual scholarships for engineering students. After his death his executors permanently endowed the Whitworth Scholarships and distributed his estate of nearly half a million pounds to various educational and charitable institutions. Whitworth was elected an Associate of the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1841 and a Member in 1848 and served on its Council for many years. He was elected a Member of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in 1847, the year of its foundation.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsBaronet 1869. FRS 1857.
