1 unhinged
•• * Слово unhinged чаще встречается в британских текстах. Перевод в ABBYY Lingvo – приведенный в смятение, замешательство; беспокойный, расстроенный – и пример: tokens of unhinged mind – признаки расстроенного сознания – взятый в отдельности, пожалуй, чуть-чуть сгущает краски. Вот пример, связанный с обсуждением религиозных откровений Тони Блэра («Я готов предстать перед Создателем и нести ответ за те мои решения, в результате которых погибли люди»):
•• Matthew Parris, the political commentator and former Tory MP, said Blair was in danger of looking ‘somewhat unhinged.’ (Observer) -...Блэр рискует создать у людей впечатление, что его «слегка занесло».
•• Далее в том же тексте:
•• Parris said in an interview with Radio 4’s Today programme yesterday: ‘He has an unhinged belief, firstly in the purity of his own intention, secondly in the fact that his own good intentions can only lead to good results, and thirdly that he’s going to win people over, that he’s going to persuade people. ‘Prime Ministers ought to take a cool view on the balance of calculations. There is this slightly unhinged optimism that comes from a belief in his own intentions.
•• В первом случае я перевел бы unhinged belief как странная вера/убежденность. Во втором – несколько неуравновешенный оптимизм (в данном случае соблазнительно – и неплохо звучит – русское слово блажной). Интересно, что англо-французский словарь Larousse Chambers дает на unhinged – déséquilibré. Разумеется, слово unhinged употребляется и в более жестком ключе, близком к русскому слову сумасбродный, синонимично английскому deranged, что подтверждается примером из Guardian:
•• Nazism and communism were ideologies whose programmes were unhinged but which, none the less, persuaded millions to kill and be killed. <...> Acceptance of the power of murderous ideology takes us to our third point – that all ideas matter, however deranged.
