martes de carnaval — Shrove Tuesday
CARNAVAL Carnaval is the traditional period of fun, feasting and partying that precedes the start of Lent (Cuaresma). The most important day is probably Shrove Tuesday (Martes de Carnaval), but throughout Carnaval there are fancy-dress parties, parades and firework displays. In some places in Spain, the changeover from Carnaval to Lent on Ash Wednesday is marked by the Entierro de la Sardina. This is a grotesque funeral parade in which the symbolic cardboard figure of a sardine is marched through the streets and finally ceremonially burnt or buried.

CARNAVAL

The tradition of Carnaval, or Carnavales, continues in many parts of Spain and Latin America. The festival usually lasts between three days and a week, just before the beginning of Lent. In country areas the festivals are closely related to fertility rites, while in towns and cities they are more in the nature of spectacles and popular celebrations. The best-known carnivals in Spain are those of Cádiz and Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and in Mexico that of Veracruz. In Spain carnivals end with the “burial of the sardine”, an ancient rite symbolizing the burial of worldly frivolity, on the Tuesday before the first day of Lent, Ash Wednesday.

10. Перевод конструкций типа «то, что» «чтобы»

Утешение было только в том, что он уезжал всего на несколько дней. – The only consolation was that he would be away for long/was leaving for only a few days.
б) использование деепричастного оборота (это идиоматичнее и короче)

Мы начали вечер с того, что предложили всем потанцевать. – We started the party/evening by suggesting/with the suggestion that everyone dance.
Он начал с того, что лично познакомился со всеми.- Не began by introducing himself to everyone/by getting personally acquainted with everyone.
в) Порой «чтобы» не переводится, и время глагола определяется контекстом:

Я не видел, чтобы он чистил зубы. - I didn't see him brush his teeth/I never saw him brush his teeth.
Я хочу, чтобы вы меня правильно поняли. - I want you to understand me correctly/to get what I mean.
г) to + infinitive вместо довольно неуклюжей конструкции in order to или so as to

Я вернулся с тем, чтобы предупредить вас. - I came back to warn you.
Я пришел не с тем, чтобы спорить с вами. - I didn't come to argue with you.
д) Иногда можно заменить «чтобы» словами so that:

Говори, чтобы все поняли. - Speak so that everyone understands/gets the point.

11. Придаточные предложения, которые начинаются с «как» или с «как бы», можно перевести на английский с помощью условного наклонения или деепричастия.

Я люблю смотреть, как он выступает. - I like watching him perform/I like to watch him perform/I like watching him performing.
Он боялся, как бы не простудиться. - Не was afraid of catching cold/He was afraid he might/could catch cold.
12. «He + инфинитив + бы» требует don't или see that X doesn't do Y.

He забыть бы его адрес! - See you don't/take care not to/be sure you don't/I mustn't/I must take care not to forget his address.
13. перевод вида глагола

а) Переводчик должен постоянно иметь в виду, что в английском языке используются совершенно разные глаголы для передачи смысла обоих членов одной русской видовой пары, как, например, «сделать» и «делать»

Что же делал Бельтов в продолжение этих десяти лет? Все или почти все. Что он сделал? Ничего или почти ничего. -
What did Beltov do during these ten years? Everything or almost everything. What did he achieve? Nothing, or almost nothing.
уверять — try to convince
уверить — convince решать — try to solve решить — solve. учиться — study научиться — learn отыскивать — look for отыскать — find сдавать экзамен - to take an exam сдать экзамен - to pass an exam поступать в университет - to apply to a university поступить в университет - be admitted/get into a university
б) При переводе глаголов несовершенного вида нельзя не подчеркнуть, что речь идет о попытках говорящего или кого-то другого что-либо сделать.

Войска брали крепость целый месяц. - The troops tried for a whole month to take the fortress.
Я к нему долго привыкал, но наконец привык. - For a long time I tried to get used to him, and finally did. He оправдывайся! - Don't try to justify yourselfl/Don't try to make excuses!
с)Существует также целая категория особых глаголов, у которых несовершенный вид указывает на состояние, которое является результатом завершенного действия и передается совершенным видом.

Я «понимаю» is the result of «я понял», and note that English "I understand" translates them both. The formal pair «разобраться/разбираться» are exactly the same; the verb in «я разобрался в этом» is an achievement with the change-of-state meaning characteristic of perfectives, while the verb in «я разбираюсь в этом» signals the state resulting from the achievement. They may both be translated as / understand, but the former means / have figured out (come to understand), while the latter means I understand (as a result of having figured out). These verbs belong to a very large group of perfectives whose change of state is inceptive, whose imperfectives denote the new, resulting state: «понял, понимаю, поверил, верю, понравиться, нравиться».

14. Перевод безличных конструкций

а) Во множественном числе третьего лица безличную конструкцию можно переделать в пассивную:

Посетителей просят оставить верхнюю одежду в гардеробе. -
Visitors are requested/asked to leave/Visitors must leave/check their coats in the coatroom.
б) Можно вставить субъект/подлежащее:

Об этом часто приходится слышать. - I/he/we/they often hear about this.
Чувствовалось, что он доволен. - I/we/they felt/could feel that he was pleased.
в) В некоторых контекстах возвратные глаголы переводятся как переходные с добавлением подлежащего:

Под вакуумом понимается пространство, не содержащее вещества. - A vacuum is defined as space/By a vacuum we mean space/The definition of a vacuum is space/A vacuum is understood to be space free from/not containing/devoid of matter.

В данном случае сложное движение рассматривается как результат двух движений. - In this case complex movement is considered as/considered to be/we see complex movement as/we define complex movement as the result of two movements.

г) Когда русское местоимение является дополнением безличных глаголов, то можно переделать в подлежащее/субъект.

В ушах звенело, во рту пересохло. - His/my ears were ringing, his/my throat was dry.
Меня неудержимо клонило в сон. - I felt an irresistible urge to sleep/I just couldn't stay awake/I felt horribly/terribly/awfully sleepy. Ее потянуло в Париж. - She felt an urge to go to Paris/Paris was calling to her/She felt like going to Paris. Мне жаль мою подругу. - I'm sorry for my girlfriend.
15. Перевод причастий

@ДЕЙСТВИТЕЛЬНОЕ ПРИЧАСТИЕ НАСТОЯЩЕГО ВРЕМЕНИ

1. переводится на английский глагольной формой на -ing.

Девушка, читающая книгу, очень красива - The girl who is reading the book is very pretty.

2. переводится с пропуском причастия, т.е. с помощью короткого оборота с предлогом и краткого придаточного предложения

Вопрос, выходящий за рамки данной статьи. - A matter/issue/question beyond the scope of this article.

***

@ПРИНАДЛЕЖАЩИЙ

можно выразить просто притяжательной формой:

см. ГЛАГОЛ

@СТРАДАТЕЛЬНЫЙ ПРИЧАСТНЫЙ ОБОРОТ НАСТОЯЩЕГО ВРЕМЕНИ

1. переводятся с русского языка скорее как прилагательные, чем как причастия.

Проводимая страной политика одобряется всем народом. - The policy pursued (not "which is being pursued") by our country has the backing/approval of the entire people.

2. в некоторых случаях причастие можно просто опустить:

Ясно определились позиции, занимаемые обеими сторонами по таким жизненно важным вопросам. - The positions of both sides on such vitally important questions are now clear.

***

см. ГЛАГОЛ
@
- имеющийся, сложившийся, создавшийся

16. Перевод деепричастий.

а) Прошедшее время из русского языка нередко переходит в английский в качестве деепричастия.

Мы видели, как дети купались в реке. We saw the children swimming in the river.

б) Деепричастие настоящего времени подчас приходится переводить на английский прошедшим:

Раза два в год бывал в Москве и, возвращаясь оттуда, рассказывал об этом. Не would visit/used to visit Moscow a couple of times a year, and after returning home/on his return home tell/would tell about it.

в) Деепричастие прошедшего времени в некоторых случаях становится деепричастием и в настоящем:

Сев за рояль, она заиграла вальс. - Sitting at the piano, she played a waltz.

г) При переводе русских деепричастий бывает необходимым объяснение причинных или временных обстоятельств:

Выслушав меня внимательно, вы быстро меня поймете. If you listen to me carefully, you'll understand quickly.
Почувствовав голод, они решили обедать без гостей. - Because/since they were hungry, they decided to eat without/without waiting for/the guests. Переехав в собственную квартиру, он стал гораздо более самостоятельным человеком. - When/after he moved to his own apartment he became a lot more independent.
д) В описательных деепричастных оборотах можно заменить деепричастие конструкцией «with + имя существительное»:

Он сидел, закрыв глаза. - Не sat/was sitting with his eyes closed.
«Это очень смешно!» — сказал он, засмеявшись. "That's very funny," he said with a laugh.
е) Так называемые «безличные» деепричастия, которые часто встречаются в Русских технических текстах, иногда заменяются существительными или перед ними вставляется предлог.

Используя эти данные, можно приближенно предсказать процесс. - Use of this data allows us to make an approximate prediction of the process/By using this data, we can make...
Изучая эту таблицу, легко видеть, что... - Study of this table makes it clear that.../In studying this table we clearly see that…
17. Сокращение глагольных конструкций

Подчас русское словосочетание выражается одним английским глаголом. Смысл передается при помощи приставки или суффикса en-, un-, -ize, -ate.

утверждать то, что оказалось чистейшей чепухой – to talk utter nonsense
располагать в алфавитном порядке – to alphabetize заставить грубой силой – to bludgeon приводить в систему, распределять по категориям – list, categorize лишать законной силы – to invalidate выводить из строя – to incapacitate поймать в ловушку – to entrap

Приди я вовремя, ничего бы не случилось. – If I had come in time nothing would have happened.

б) для выражения протеста против необходимости выполнять нежелательные действия

Тебе хорошо с гостями чаи распивать, а я дома сиди. – You’re having fun drinking tea with the guests while/but I’ve got to stay home.
Сами гулять пойдете, а я пиши. – You can/go off on your own, I’ve got to write/ I’m stuck with the writing.
с) неожиданное или непредвиденное действие

Он меня позвал – я споткнись, чашку разбил. – He called out to me and I stumbled and broke a cup.
Дорога ровная – а он возьми и упади. – The road was flat/even when all of a sudden he fell.
5. Настоящее время, описывающее серию событий в прошлом, переводится прошедшим.

Возвращаюсь я вчера вечером домой, иду по нашей улице, вдруг слышу знакомый голос. – Last night as I was going home, walking down our street, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

6. Настоящее время переводится и настоящим, и будущим.

Я уезжаю через неделю, завтра я весь день работаю, а вечером сижу дома. – I’m leaving in a week – tomorrow I’ll work/I’m working all day and in the evening I’ll be home.

7. Совершенный вид русских глаголов, выражающих повторное действие, переводится с помощью длительного настоящего времени.

Сегодня мне весь день мешают – то кто-нибудь придет, то телефон зазвонит. – I’m being bothered all day – people keep coming in and the phone keeps ringing.

8. Описание характерного или привычного поведения человека.

Он всегда прибежит, накричит, наскандалит, а потом удивляется, почему его не любят. – He’s always barging in/rushing in screaming/yelling at someone/causing trouble/insulting people/offending people/raising a row and then he wonders why/is surprised that/and then he asks why people don’t like him.

9. В разговорных конструкциях прошедшее время от глаголов «пойти» и «поехать» передается будущим временем.

Я пошел. – I’m about to leave.
Я поехал, буду через два часа. – I’m off/I’ll be going/I’ll be back in two hours.
10. Перевод конструкций типа «то, что» «чтобы»

a) Сокращение и переосмысление

Сложность этого эксперимента заключается в том, что он требует длительного времени. – The problem with this experiment is that it requires a lot of time.
Утешение было только в том, что он уезжал всего на несколько дней. – The only consolation was that he would be away for long/was leaving for only a few days.
б) использование деепричастного оборота (это идиоматичнее и короче)

Мы начали вечер с того, что предложили всем потанцевать. – We started the party/evening by suggesting/with the suggestion that everyone dance.
Он начал с того, что лично познакомился со всеми.- Не began by introducing himself to everyone/by getting personally acquainted with everyone.
в) Порой «чтобы» не переводится, и время глагола определяется контекстом:

Я не видел, чтобы он чистил зубы. - I didn't see him brush his teeth/I never saw him brush his teeth.
Я хочу, чтобы вы меня правильно поняли. - I want you to understand me correctly/to get what I mean.
г) to + infinitive вместо довольно неуклюжей конструкции in order to или so as to

Я вернулся с тем, чтобы предупредить вас. - I came back to warn you.
Я пришел не с тем, чтобы спорить с вами. - I didn't come to argue with you.
д) Иногда можно заменить «чтобы» словами so that:

Говори, чтобы все поняли. - Speak so that everyone understands/gets the point.

11. Придаточные предложения, которые начинаются с «как» или с «как бы», можно перевести на английский с помощью условного наклонения или деепричастия.

Я люблю смотреть, как он выступает. - I like watching him perform/I like to watch him perform/I like watching him performing.
Он боялся, как бы не простудиться. - Не was afraid of catching cold/He was afraid he might/could catch cold.
12. «He + инфинитив + бы» требует don't или see that X doesn't do Y.

He простудиться бы! - Take care/I'll take care not to/See that you don't catch cold.
He забыть бы его адрес! - See you don't/take care not to/be sure you don't/I mustn't/I must take care not to forget his address.
13. перевод вида глагола

а) Переводчик должен постоянно иметь в виду, что в английском языке используются совершенно разные глаголы для передачи смысла обоих членов одной русской видовой пары, как, например, «сделать» и «делать»

Что же делал Бельтов в продолжение этих десяти лет? Все или почти все. Что он сделал? Ничего или почти ничего. -
What did Beltov do during these ten years? Everything or almost everything. What did he achieve? Nothing, or almost nothing.
уверять — try to convince
уверить — convince решать — try to solve решить — solve. учиться — study научиться — learn отыскивать — look for отыскать — find сдавать экзамен - to take an exam сдать экзамен - to pass an exam поступать в университет - to apply to a university поступить в университет - be admitted/get into a university
б) При переводе глаголов несовершенного вида нельзя не подчеркнуть, что речь идет о попытках говорящего или кого-то другого что-либо сделать.

Войска брали крепость целый месяц. - The troops tried for a whole month to take the fortress.
Я к нему долго привыкал, но наконец привык. - For a long time I tried to get used to him, and finally did. He оправдывайся! - Don't try to justify yourselfl/Don't try to make excuses!
с)Существует также целая категория особых глаголов, у которых несовершенный вид указывает на состояние, которое является результатом завершенного действия и передается совершенным видом.

Я «понимаю» is the result of «я понял», and note that English "I understand" translates them both. The formal pair «разобраться/разбираться» are exactly the same; the verb in «я разобрался в этом» is an achievement with the change-of-state meaning characteristic of perfectives, while the verb in «я разбираюсь в этом» signals the state resulting from the achievement. They may both be translated as / understand, but the former means / have figured out (come to understand), while the latter means I understand (as a result of having figured out). These verbs belong to a very large group of perfectives whose change of state is inceptive, whose imperfectives denote the new, resulting state: «понял, понимаю, поверил, верю, понравиться, нравиться».

14. Перевод безличных конструкций

а) Во множественном числе третьего лица безличную конструкцию можно переделать в пассивную:

Посетителей просят оставить верхнюю одежду в гардеробе. -
Visitors are requested/asked to leave/Visitors must leave/check their coats in the coatroom.
б) Можно вставить субъект/подлежащее:

Об этом часто приходится слышать. - I/he/we/they often hear about this.
Чувствовалось, что он доволен. - I/we/they felt/could feel that he was pleased.
в) В некоторых контекстах возвратные глаголы переводятся как переходные с добавлением подлежащего:

Под вакуумом понимается пространство, не содержащее вещества. - A vacuum is defined as space/By a vacuum we mean space/The definition of a vacuum is space/A vacuum is understood to be space free from/not containing/devoid of matter.

В данном случае сложное движение рассматривается как результат двух движений. - In this case complex movement is considered as/considered to be/we see complex movement as/we define complex movement as the result of two movements.

г) Когда русское местоимение является дополнением безличных глаголов, то можно переделать в подлежащее/субъект.

В ушах звенело, во рту пересохло. - His/my ears were ringing, his/my throat was dry.
Меня неудержимо клонило в сон. - I felt an irresistible urge to sleep/I just couldn't stay awake/I felt horribly/terribly/awfully sleepy. Ее потянуло в Париж. - She felt an urge to go to Paris/Paris was calling to her/She felt like going to Paris. Мне жаль мою подругу. - I'm sorry for my girlfriend.
15. Перевод причастий

- ДЕЙСТВИТЕЛЬНОЕ ПРИЧАСТИЕ НАСТОЯЩЕГО ВРЕМЕНИ
- ВОЗВРАТНАЯ ЧАСТИЦА
- ПРИНАДЛЕЖАЩИЙ
- СТРАДАТЕЛЬНЫЙ ПРИЧАСТНЫЙ ОБОРОТ НАСТОЯЩЕГО ВРЕМЕНИ
- имеющийся, сложившийся, создавшийся

16. Перевод деепричастий.

а) Прошедшее время из русского языка нередко переходит в английский в качестве деепричастия.

Мы видели, как дети купались в реке. We saw the children swimming in the river.

б) Деепричастие настоящего времени подчас приходится переводить на английский прошедшим:

Раза два в год бывал в Москве и, возвращаясь оттуда, рассказывал об этом. Не would visit/used to visit Moscow a couple of times a year, and after returning home/on his return home tell/would tell about it.

в) Деепричастие прошедшего времени в некоторых случаях становится деепричастием и в настоящем:

Сев за рояль, она заиграла вальс. - Sitting at the piano, she played a waltz.

г) При переводе русских деепричастий бывает необходимым объяснение причинных или временных обстоятельств:

Выслушав меня внимательно, вы быстро меня поймете. If you listen to me carefully, you'll understand quickly.
Почувствовав голод, они решили обедать без гостей. - Because/since they were hungry, they decided to eat without/without waiting for/the guests. Переехав в собственную квартиру, он стал гораздо более самостоятельным человеком. - When/after he moved to his own apartment he became a lot more independent.
д) В описательных деепричастных оборотах можно заменить деепричастие конструкцией «with + имя существительное»:

Он сидел, закрыв глаза. - Не sat/was sitting with his eyes closed.
«Это очень смешно!» — сказал он, засмеявшись. "That's very funny," he said with a laugh.
е) Так называемые «безличные» деепричастия, которые часто встречаются в Русских технических текстах, иногда заменяются существительными или перед ними вставляется предлог.

Используя эти данные, можно приближенно предсказать процесс. - Use of this data allows us to make an approximate prediction of the process/By using this data, we can make...
Изучая эту таблицу, легко видеть, что... - Study of this table makes it clear that.../In studying this table we clearly see that…
17. Сокращение глагольных конструкций

Подчас русское словосочетание выражается одним английским глаголом. Смысл передается при помощи приставки или суффикса en-, un-, -ize, -ate.

утверждать то, что оказалось чистейшей чепухой – to talk utter nonsense
располагать в алфавитном порядке – to alphabetize заставить грубой силой – to bludgeon приводить в систему, распределять по категориям – list, categorize лишать законной силы – to invalidate выводить из строя – to incapacitate поймать в ловушку – to entrap
