13 Santana Lopes, Pedro Miguel de
(1956-)Portuguese lawyer and politician, and prime minister (2004-05). Born in Lisbon in 1956, Santana Lopes took a law degree from the University of Lisbon and was a Student Union leader. In 1976, he joined the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and became a legal advisor to Prime Minister Francisco Sá Carneiro. Santana Lopes has always considered himself a follower of the late Sá Carneiro. In 1986, he became assistant state secretary to Prime Minister Aníbal Cavaco Silva, and the following year was elected to the European Parliament, in which he served for two years. In 1991, Cavaco Silva named him secretary of state for culture. He served in various other posts, including mayor of Lisbon, and he founded a weekly newspaper, Semanário.In 1998, Santana Lopes withdrew from politics after being negatively depicted in a private television station comic sketch. Instead, he continued in politics and rose to the vice-presidency of the PSD. José Manuel Durão Barroso resigned in July 2004 to become president of the European Commission, and Santana Lopes became PSD leader. Since his party was the major partner in the governing coalition at this time and Barroso had resigned his post, Santana Lopes succeeded him.Santana Lopes' brief premiership was fraught with difficulties. The national economy was in a crisis, and there were frequent cabinet shuffles, factionalism among PSD leaders, and questions being raised about the competence of Santana Lopes to govern effectively. President Jorge Sampaio called a parliamentary election for February 2005, following the resignation of the minister of sport from the cabinet and that minister's attacks on the prime minister's conduct. The Socialist Party (PS) under José Sócrates won the election, and Santana Lopes left office to resume his post as mayor of Lisbon. Santana Lopes, however, after in-fighting with his party and following the party's failure to endorse him as a candidate for the upcoming municipal elections, resigned this post one month before the election of February 2005.Historical dictionary of Portugal > Santana Lopes, Pedro Miguel de

14 Cavaco Silva, Aníbal Antônio
(1939-)Leading figure in post-1974 Portugal, Social Democrat leader, prime minister (1985-95), president of the Republic since 2006. Born in the Algarve in 1939, Cavaco Silva was educated in Faro and Lisbon and, in 1964, obtained a degree in finance at the University of Lisbon. Like many of the younger leaders of post-1974 Portugal, Cavaco Silva underwent an important part of his professional training abroad; in December 1973, he received a doctorate in economics from York University, Great Britain. He entered academic life as an economics and finance professor in 1974 and taught until he entered politics full-time in 1980, when he was named minister of finance in the sixth constitutional government of Social Democratic Party (PSD) leader and prime minister Sá Carneiro. He was elected a PSD deputy to the Republican Assembly in October 1980. Following the general legislative elections of October 1985, Cavaco Silva was named prime minister of the 10th constitutional government. His party, the PSD, strengthened its hold on the legislature yet again in the 1987 election when, for the first time since the Revolution of 25 April 1974, Portugal was ruled by a party with a clear majority of seats in the legislature.Cavaco Silva, who has emphasized a strong free-enterprise and denationalization policy in the framework of economic rejuvenation, served as prime minister (1985-95) and, in the elections of 1987 and 1991, his party won a clear majority of seats in the Assembly of the Republic (more than 50 percent), which encouraged stability and economic progress in postrevolutionary Portugal. In the 1995 general elections, the Socialist Party (PS) defeated the PSD; he ran for the presidency of the republic in 1995 and lost to Jorge Sampaio. Cavaco Silva retired briefly from politics to teach at the Catholic University. In October 2005, he announced his return to politics and became a candidate for the upcoming presidential election. On 22 January 2006, he received 50.5 percent of the vote and was sworn in on 9 March 2006.Historical dictionary of Portugal > Cavaco Silva, Aníbal Antônio

15 gravitas
•• * Замечательное слово, отсутствующее в большинстве словарей. С развертыванием предвыборной кампании в США оно все чаще появляется в периодике. Вот пример из журнала Time:
•• John Edwards: A charismatic newcomer seemed just what the [Democratic] party was looking for – until 9/11 put a premium on gravitas.
•• Это наиболее частый контекст употребления этого слова, но иногда оно относится не только к людям:
•• With its black marble gravitas, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington tells the anguished story of how America got sucked in deeper and deeper, with the death toll rising along with the memorial’s V-shaped design. (New York Times)
•• American Heritage Dictionary дает следующее определение: 1. Substance; weightiness: a frivolous biography that lacks the gravitas of its subject. 2. A serious or dignified demeanor: “Our national father figure needs gravitas, [but] he’s pitched himself as the kid brother.” (John Leo, Mother Jones).
•• По существу значение одно, и его неплохо, на мой взгляд, схватывает определение в онлайновом словаре www.dictionary.com: High seriousness (as in a person’s bearing or in the treatment of a subject).
•• Интересные рассуждения об этом слове – на сайте www.quinion.com (Michael Quinion writes about international English from a British viewpoint):
•• Ever since George W. Bush picked Richard Cheney as his running mate, the candidates in the American presidential race have been vying to see who can demonstrate the greatest gravitas, or appearance of dignity and seriousness. The Washington Times earlier this month called it the “ gravitas gambit,” and Rush Limbaugh has been having fun playing recordings to illustrate how it has become the media buzzword of the campaign.
•• <...> A weighty word indeed, the opposite of levity, a lightness that causes bodies to rise, a tendency for people to exhibit lightweight attitudes. <...>
•• In the past couple of decades, it has become accepted as a proper English word, is now printed without the italics, and has become more popular. There are signs that it is losing some of its force: a headline in the financial pages of the Daily Telegraph last month shouted that “ Vodafone provides the gravitas,” meaning only that the mobile phone company’s excellent share performance was propping up the stock market.
•• Иногда определение (через синонимию) дается в тексте, как, например, в ироничной статье в Princeton Packet Online:
•• In an effort to be included within the spirit of inclusion characterizing the upcoming presidential election. I contracted with myself to do a poll asking whether the town of Princeton has “gravitas.” Defined as reservedness, dignity, good taste, legitimacy, propriety, seriousness, thoughtful decision-making, gravitas is being touted as a crucial quality for those who intend to lead America into the 21st century.
•• При большом разбросе контекстов и оттенков значения предложить варианты перевода для словаря не так просто. У меня есть подозрение, что наши политологи и журналисты могут соблазниться на прямое заимствование. Хотя, по-моему, неплохо основательность, собственный вес, иногда просто серьезность или достоинство. В контексте возможны и другие варианты, например, Our national father figure needs gravitas. – Человек, претендующий на роль отца нации, должен быть тяжеловесом (вспоминается «политический тяжеловес» – так в трудную для себя минуту охарактеризовал президент Ельцин В.С.Черномырдина).
•• Как часто бывает, может выручить антонимический перевод:
•• And we want to tell our readers about sharp, clever books, utterly lacking in gravitas, that we know will delight them on the beach or the bus. (Benjamin Schwarz. Some of the best books of 2001) – Мы хотим рассказать о книгах, написанных бойко и толково, но при этом совершенно легковесных, которые наверняка доставят вам удовольствие на пляже или в автобусе.
•• Пожалуй, часто подойдет слово солидность – ведь его можно употребить и в отношении людей, и в отношении предметов и явлений.
•• Самый первый пример – из New York Times – пожалуй, и самый трудный. Можно попробовать, например:
•• Исполненный торжественного достоинства, вашингтонский мемориал ветеранов войны во Вьетнаме, с его V-образными стелами из черного мрамора, служит тревожным напоминанием о том, как Америка все глубже втягивалась в войну, как день за днем росло число погибших.
•• Vodafone provides the gravitas – судя по объяснению Квиниона, Водафон удерживает рынок.
