adv., prop. a gen. of an obsolete noun; [Ulf. þeihs = χρόνος and καιρός]:—at once, forthwith; Höskuldr kallar á hana, farðú hingað til mín, segir hann. Hón gékk þegar til hans, Nj. 2; þegar á morgun, to-morrow presently, Ísl. ii. 147; hann var þá skírðr þegar, 645. 86; þá var hann þegar hvar fjarri …, hann sofnaði þegar, Fms. iv. 337; Þórólfr bar merkit þegar eptir honum, following immediately after him, i. e. next after him, Eg. 297; þegar frá öxlum ofan, Sks. 167, passim: the phrase, þegar-leið-sem, straightway, forthwith, Fms. x. 386, Stj. 94, 101, 267, Barl. 157; see leið.

[He was the seventh son of Vasudava and Devakī; but transferred to the womb of Rohiṇī to save him from falling a prey to the cruelty of Kaṁsa. He and his brother Kṛiṣṇa were brought up by Nanda in Gokula. When quite young, he killed the powerful demons Dhenuka and Pralamba, and performed, like his brother, many feats of surprising strength. On one occasion Balarāma under the influence of wine, of which he was very fond, called upon the Yamunā river to come to him that he might bathe; and on his command being unheeded, he plunged his plough-share into the river and dragged the waters after him, until the river assumed a human form and asked his for- givenss. On another occasion he dragged towards himself the whole city of Hastināpura along with its walls. As Kṛiṣṇa was a friend and admirer of the Pāṇḍavas, so Balarāma was of the Kauravas, as was seen in his desire of giving his sister Subhadrā to Duryodhana rather than to Arjuna; yet he declined to take any part in the great Bhāratī war either with the Pāṇḍa- vas or the Kauravas. He is represented as dressed in blue clothes, and armed with a ploughshare which was his most effective weapon. His wife was Revatī. He is sometimes regarded as an incarnation of the serpent Śeṣa and sometimes as the eighth incarnation of Viṣṇu; see the quotation under हल].

Англо-русский современный словарь > exposure

12 exposure

•• Exposure exposing or being exposed to air or cold or danger, etc. (Oxford American Dictionary).

•• Известен пример с предложением He died of exposure. Слово exposure употребляется здесь в значении (Новый БАРС) подвергание внешнему воздействию (хоть и неуклюже сказано, но лучше, может быть, не придумаешь). Oxford American Dictionary предлагает такое определение exposing or being exposed to air or cold or danger, etc. Вот именно, etc.! Ведь если не знать, где и когда человек умер (в пустыне? на Северном полюсе? в средней полосе? ночью? в полдень? и т.д.), то перевести совершенно невозможно. Нужен контекст.
•• Но слово exposure может задать переводчику загадки и другого рода. Во всяком случае, в предлагаемых ниже примерах переводчику вряд ли помогут «словарные значения» типа разоблачение, выдержка, экспозиция, обнажение, которые можно найти в большинстве словарей. Even after his prison term for rape and his subsequent exposure as an ordinary fighter, Tyson still fascinates the public (Time). Здесь значение слова exposure настолько широкое, что, кажется, оно десемантизировалось – по остроумному выражению В.Г.Гака, подверглось семантическому «опустошению». Мало этого, как видно из словарного определения, exposure значит и exposing, и being exposed. Впрочем, опытному переводчику в данном случае не составит труда найти подходящее русское слово (например, выступление) – ведь смысл предложения абсолютно ясен из контекста. Слово exposure, кстати говоря, совсем не книжное. Вот цитата из записи выступления Билла Гейтса (опубликовано в журнале Fortune): I was lucky enough when I was quite young to have an exposure to computers... Вспомним совет: нередко в переводе слов с широкой семантикой подходят слова также с широкой семантикой: Мне повезло: еще совсем молодым я познакомился с компьютерами... (русское познакомиться действительно сильно десемантизируется).
•• Сложнее обстоит дело в другом примере: Uralmash offers exposure to a large asset base but it has only just begun to restructure (из аналитического материала для инвесторов, подготовленного инвестиционной компанией Merrill Lynch). Думаю, что и здесь употреблено удобное, но семантически «опустошенное» слово. В переводе оно может просто исчезнуть, например: Уралмаш обладает мощной базой основных фондов. Можно все-таки попробовать проникнуть в смысл выражения offers exposure: Уралмаш дает инвестору доступ к значительным основным фондам. А вот то же слово (и тоже в экономическом контексте), но уже в «отрицательном» смысле: What assets the banks do have could be wiped out thanks to their exposure to so-called “dollar forward contracts” signed with Western banks (журнал Time о положении российских банков в связи с угрозой девальвации). Оно может быть передано с использованием слов ответственность или риск: Те реальные активы, которыми банки действительно обладают, могут исчезнуть вследствие ответственности банков по так называемым форвардным долларовым контрактам, заключенным с западными банками/Банки подвергли свои активы колоссальному риску, заключив так называемые долларовые форвардные контракты с западными банками.
•• * Exposure – одно из тех английских слов, которые можно разбирать бесконечно. В «Моем несистематическом словаре» приводятся примеры, при переводе которых возникают контекстуальные варианты. Можно привести и множество других аналогичных примеров. Разумеется, двуязычный словарь не может включать большое количество контекстуальных переводов. Но варианты более или менее закономерные, которые могут пригодиться переводчику довольно часто, надо включать. Для слова exposure одним из таких вариантов (в рамках значения the condition of being subject to a force or influence) является русское контакт. Вот пример из статьи в New York Times о распространении эпидемии атипичной пневмонии в Канаде:
•• For two weeks the tone of health care officials and local news media coverage had been increasingly upbeat that the disease was largely contained to a fixed number of people linked to a single chain of exposures beginning at one hospital.
•• Один из последующих абзацев подтверждает, что exposure и contact в данном случае синонимичны:
•• The new cluster originated when one member of the group contracted the virus at Scarborough Grace Hospital, where the entire Ontario outbreak began, and he passed it on to members of his family. He died and several group members were apparently infected at his funeral, where they came into contact with the man’s sick relatives before they were put in quarantine.
•• Кстати, стоит обратить внимание на закрепившееся соответствие:
•• SARS – Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome – синдром атипичной пневмонии.
•• Чаще по-русски говорят просто атипичная пневмония. Это тот случай, когда при одновременном появлении или открытии какого-либо явления в разных странах речь идет не столько о переводе с одного языка на другой, сколько о назывании (именовании) данного явления в соответствии с терминологическими традициями данного языка. В этом случае возможно существенное расхождение.

13 Paul, Lewis

SUBJECT AREA: Textiles

[br]

d. April 1759 Brook Green, London, England

[br]

English inventor of hand carding machines and partner with Wyatt in early spinning machines.

[br]

Lewis Paul, apparently of French Huguenot extraction, was quite young when his father died. His father was Physician to Lord Shaftsbury, who acted as Lewis Paul's guardian. In 1728 Paul made a runaway match with a widow and apparently came into her property when she died a year later. He must have subsequently remarried. In 1732 he invented a pinking machine for making the edges of shrouds out of which he derived some profit.

Why Paul went to Birmingham is unknown, but he helped finance some of Wyatt's earlier inventions. Judging by the later patents taken out by Paul, it is probable that he was the one interested in spinning, turning to Wyatt for help in the construction of his spinning machine because he had no mechanical skills. The two men may have been involved in this as early as 1733, although it is more likely that they began this work in 1735. Wyatt went to London to construct a model and in 1736 helped to apply for a patent, which was granted in 1738 in the name of Paul. The patent shows that Paul and Wyatt had a number of different ways of spinning in mind, but contains no drawings of the machines. In one part there is a description of sets of rollers to draw the cotton out more finely that could have been similar to those later used by Richard Arkwright. However, it would seem that Paul and Wyatt followed the other main method described, which might be called spindle drafting, where the fibres are drawn out between the nip of a pair of rollers and the tip of the spindle; this method is unsatisfactory for continuous spinning and results in an uneven yarn.

The spinning venture was supported by Thomas Warren, a well-known Birmingham printer, Edward Cave of Gentleman's Magazine, Dr Robert James of fever-powder celebrity, Mrs Desmoulins, and others. Dr Samuel Johnson also took much interest. In 1741 a mill powered by two asses was equipped at the Upper Priory, Birmingham, with, machinery for spinning cotton being constructed by Wyatt. Licences for using the invention were sold to other people including Edward Cave, who established a mill at Northampton, so the enterprise seemed to have great promise. A spinning machine must be supplied with fibres suitably prepared, so carding machines had to be developed. Work was in hand on one in 1740 and in 1748 Paul took out another patent for two types of carding device, possibly prompted by the patent taken out by Daniel Bourn. Both of Paul's devices were worked by hand and the carded fibres were laid onto a strip of paper. The paper and fibres were then rolled up and placed in the spinning machine. In 1757 John Dyer wrote a poem entitled The Fleece, which describes a circular spinning machine of the type depicted in a patent taken out by Paul in 1758. Drawings in this patent show that this method of spinning was different from Arkwright's. Paul endeavoured to have the machine introduced into the Foundling Hospital, but his death in early 1759 stopped all further development. He was buried at Paddington on 30 April that year.

-मः 1 N. of three celebrated personages; (a) Paraśurāma, son of Jama- dagni; (b) Balarāma, son of Vasudeva and brother of Kṛiṣṇa, q.q.v.v.; (c) Rāmachandra or Sītārāma, son of Daśaratha and Kausalyā and the hero of the Rāmāyaṇa; (the word is thus derived in Purāṇas:-- राशब्दो विश्ववचनो मश्चापीश्वरवाचकः । विश्वाधीनेश्वरो यो हि तेन रामः प्रकीर्तितः ॥) cf. also राकारोच्चारमात्रेण मुखान्निर्याति पातकम् । पुनः प्रवेशशङ्कायां मकारो$स्ति कपाटवत् ॥ [When quite a boy, he with his brother was taken by Viśvāmitra, with the permission of Daśaratha, to his hermitage to protect his sacrifices from the demons that obstructed them. Rāma killed them all with perfect ease, and received from the sage several miraculous missiles as a reward. He then accompanied Viśvāmitra to the capital of Janaka where he married Sītā having performed the wonderful feat of bending Siva's bow, and then return- ed to Ayodhyā. Daśaratha, seeing that Rāma was growing fitter and fitter to rule the kingdom, resolved to install him as heir-apparent. But, on the eve of the day of coronation, his favourite wife Kaikeyī, at the instigation of her wicked nurse Mantharā, asked him to fulfil the two boons he had formerly promised to her, by one of which she demanded the exile of Rāma for fourteen years and by the other the installation of her own son Bharata as Yuvarāja. The king was terribly shocked, and tried his best to dissuade her from her wicked demands, but was at last obliged to yield. The dutiful son immediately prapared to go into exile accom- panied by his beautiful young wife Sītā and his devoted brother Lakṣmana. The period of his exile was event- ful, and the two brothers killed several powerful demons and at last roused the jealousy of Rāvaṇa himself. The wicked demon resolved to try Rāma by carrying off his beauteous wife for whom he had conceived an ar- dent passion, and accomplished his purpose being assisted by Mārīcha. After several fruitless inquiries as to her whereabouts, Hanumat ascertained that she was in Laṅkā and persuaded Rāma to invade the island and kill the ravisher. The monkeys built a bridge across the ocean over which Rāma with his numerous troops passed, conquered Laṅkā, and killed Rāvaṇa along with his whole host of demons. Rāma, attended by his wife and friends in battle, triumphant- ly returned to Ayodhyā where he was crowned king by Vasiṣṭha. He reigned long and righteously and was succeeded by his son Kuśa. Rāma is said to be the seventh incarnation of Viṣṇu; cf. Jayadeva:-- वितरसि दिक्षु रणे दिक्पतिकमनीयं दशमुखमौलिबलिं रमणीयम् । केशव धृतरघुपति- रूप जय जगदीश हरे Gīt.1.].
