17 tipping point
•• * Из многочисленных примеров употребления этого вошедшего в последнее время в моду выражения приведу два:
•• Peter D. Feaver, a professor of political science at Duke University and an expert on war and public opinion, said continued casualties could reach a “tipping point” at which the Bush administration loses the most important element in public support for the war: a belief that success is likely. <...> A single event that causes a large number of U.S. casualties, such as the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon, could push the public toward the tipping point, said retired Marine Lt. Col. Gary D. Solis, the Marine Corps’ chief of oral history. (Washington Post)
•• The situation in Iraq is fast approaching the tipping point. The terrorists know that if they can wreak enough havoc, kill enough Iraqis waiting in line to join their own police force, they can prevent the U.N. from coming up with a plan for elections and a stable transfer of U.S. authority to an Iraqi government. (New York Times)
•• Происходит, видимо, от метафорического фразеологизма to tip the scales – надавить на чашу весов, изменить соотношение сил в чью-то пользу. Жаль, что это выражение отсутствует и в Новом БАРСе, и в ABBYY Lingvo. Tipping point, как кажется, восполняет отсутствие в английском языке метафорического слова, аналогичного русскому перелом ( переломный момент). Обычно в переводах это русское слово передается как turning point или watershed, но это все-таки другие метафоры, имеющие прямые соответствия в русском. Переводя на русский предложения с tipping point, можно, наверное, прибегнуть и к другой метафоре – критическая масса.
