§ 11. ПРЕПОЗИТИВНЫЕ АТРИБУТИВНЫЕ СЛОВОСОЧЕТАНИЯ Препозитивные атрибутивные словосочетания, образованные при помощи соположения ряда существительных, очень распространены в английском языке. Они представляют трудность для перевода из-за многообразия семантических связей между членами словосочетания, а в ряде случаев из-за многозначности словосочетания. Для правильного перевода словосочетания необходимо проанализировать внутренние смысловые связи между его членами. I. Двучленные словосочетания Первый член двучленного атрибутивного словосочетания может переводиться на русский язык: 1. прилагательным: emergency meeting внеочередное (экстренное) заседание; power station электрическая станция; factory committees фабричные комитеты. 2.существительным в родительном падеже: incomes policy политика доходов; wage rise повышение зарплаты; Budget increase увеличение бюджета. 3. существительным с предлогом: strike warning предупреждение о забастовке, disarmament conference конференция по разоружению (предложное дополнение); Coal-brook disaster несчастный случай в Колбруке (обстоятельство места). Примечание 1. В отдельных случаях первый член атрибутивного словосочетания может переводиться придаточным предложением или причастным оборотом: wage deadlock тупик, в который зашли переговоры о повышении заработной платы (в вопросе о заработной плате). Примечание 2. В ряде случаев двучленные словосочетания могут быть многозначными. Например: university books университетские книги; книги об университете. Для правильного перевода необходим широкий контекст, либо осведомленность о данной ситуации. II. Многочленные словосочетания 1. При переводе многочленных словосочетаний надо придерживаться следующего правила: 1) перевести определяемое существительное (последнее слово словосочетания); 2) проанализировать смысловые связи между членами словосочетания и разбить их на смысловые группы (анализ проводится слева направо); 3) перевести словосочетание, начиная с определяемого слова, и затем переводить каждую смысловую группу справа налево. В зависимости от смысловых связей многочленные словосочетания могут переводиться по принципу двучленных словосочетаний. Например, надо перевести словосочетание Bank Credit Regulation Committee. Переводим последнее слово словосочетания: комитет. Далее разбиваем все словосочетание на смысловые группы: 1. Bank Credit, 2. Regulation Committee. Переводим все словосочетание: Комитет по регулированию банковских кредитов. 2. В некоторых словосочетаниях одно из существительных, выступающих в функции определения, может переводиться на русский язык причастием: raw material production countries страны, производящие сырье. 3. Атрибутивные словосочетания могут начинаться прилагательным или причастием. В этом случае надо выяснить, к какому слову относится первый член словосочетания. Например: sudden policy change внезапное изменение политики; combined Operation headquarters штаб совместных действий; National Liberation Front successes успехи национально-освободительного фронта. 4. В том случае, когда в начале атрибутивного словосочетания стоит имя собственное, обозначающее географическое название, оно переводится на русский язык прилагательным, существительным в родительном падеже или существительным с предлогом (обстоятельство места): London district committee районный комитет Лондона, Paris peace talks мирные переговоры в Париже (происходящие в Париже). 5. В том случае, когда в середине атрибутивного словосочетания стоит прилагательное, оно переводится на русский язык прилагательным (определением к тому слову, перед которым оно стоит): SEATO pact military chiefs военные главари пакта СЕАТО. 6. Атрибутивная группа может состоять не только из существительных, в ее состав могут входить и другие части речи: числительные, причастия, глаголы и т. д. Некоторые элементы этих словосочетаний соединяются между собой дефисом или заключаются в кавычки. Такие атрибутивные группы обычно переводятся причастными оборотами или придаточными предложениями: the Labor-controlled city council городской совет, контролируемый (который контролируется) лейбористами; a six-point control plan контрольный план, состоящий (который состоит) из 6 пунктов; take-it-or-leave-it draft resolution проект резолюции, носящий (который носит) ультимативный характер; "Back to work before talks begin" declaration заявление о том, чтобы рабочие вернулись к работе до того, как начнутся переговоры. Переведите следующие предложения. 1. With their pay rise banned by the Government, the men have refused to cooperate with their employers in productivity measures to which the rise was linked. 2.

The machine is an electronic computer which does the job in a fraction of the time taken by dozens of the speediest wage clerks. 6. But what is meant by this is not always clear. Does it mean the necessity to fight redundancy dismissals, pit closures, rail closures'? 7. The principle of collective cabinet responsibility has been dealt a heavy blow, and senior ministers have forfeited the respect not only of the public and their professional advisers, but also of foreign statesmen. 8.

A week of county council election opened in England and Wales yesterday when Monmouthshire and Norfolk went to the polls. 15. Public support for the railway strike decision is growing.

Reflecting on last week's disastrous local election results most Labour MPs have at last realized that their Prime Minister's home and foreign policies are vote-losers. 19.

The Minister of Labor is considering this weekend whether there is any action he can take in the 16-week-old dispute at the American-owned Roberts-Arundel factory. 31. If you thought that this latest increase in the index — which, by the way does not reflect at all the Government-imposed postal charge increases — would justify a bigger wage increase, you are mistaken. 32. Several magistrates are staying away from the civic luncheon being given by the Labor-controlled city magistrates. 33.

To the original time-table for several days for wide-ranging discussions between the President and the British Prime Minister in Washington next week, the news from Laos last Saturday suddenly prefixed a three-hour war-and-peace conference in Florida. 36.

МНОГОЗНАЧНЫЕ СЛОВА I. Многозначные существительные Известную трудность при переводе представляют многозначные слова.

Так например: 1. power имеет следующие значения: 1) держава, государство; 2) сила, мощь; 3) власть, могущество; 4) мн. ч. полномочия; 5) энергия. В сочетании с предлогом in приобретает адвербиальное значение: 1) у власти; 2) в состоянии. The important task of preserving peace lies mainly with the great powers.

The leader of the victorious party was offered the office of Prime Minister. Главе победившей партии предложили (занять) пост премьер-министра. 6. facilities. Есть целый ряд английских слов, которые не имеют эквивалента в русском языке и поэтому иногда их приходится переводить по-разному, в зависимости от контекста, иногда описательным путем. Одним из таких слов является facilities, которое обозначает предмет или обстоятельство, совокупность предметов или обстоятельств, помогающих совершить действие. Так например, facilities for transport средства передвижения; facilities for studies и необходимые помещения, и оборудование И даже наличие соответствующего времени, необходимого для занятий.

Переведите следующие предложения. 1. Both countries assume, apparently, that nuclear independence gives authority within the alliance and in their relations with the super-powers. 2.

Earlier, the Minister had told Mr J. that there was no question of the Government taking powers to frustrate pay agreements again this summer as it did last. 4. The main reasons for the uncertainty are clear enough. The separation of powers means that President and Congress are elected separately. The federal structure of the huge country means that between presidential elections the local party organizations more or less go their own way. 5. Apart from power in Parliament the other great source of power over people is by those who control the large-scale combines and the national Press. 6. The Democrats in these two years will inevitably assume that the reversion of power is within their grasp, and be concerned to work out a national policy for the future. 7.

The mineworkers' and steel workers' current demands are two cases about which there is speculation. 13. The urgency with which the Americans are pressing the case for seaborne deterrent is explicable in terms of the coming Presidential election campaign. 14. The minister doubtless has in mind demands from the employers that, in the case of wages, strong action should be taken if the board denounces any particular claim. 15. There were hundreds of fainting cases outside the Town Hall. Fans climbed up the outsides of buildings on to balconies and ledges to get a better view, despite appeals from the police not to do so. 16.

The number of women Communist candidates is growing. In the new town of East Kilbride a housewife, Mrs M. H., with a record of campaigns against rent and price increases, is one of the town's four Communist candidates. 26. The delegation wished to go on record that they viewed with great concern this act of overt aggression. 27. Burma's record in the U.N. on this issue illustrates the problem of a neutral nation in the arena of power politics. 28. That candidate's record shows what can be expected from him: a redbaiter, character assassin, labour-hater, who in 1956 attacked pleas for negotiations on a nuclear test ban as "treasonous nonsense." 29. Many member states are now on record as favoring this approach, which was first formally presented at the general debate of the 19th session of the General Assembly in November, 1964. 30. The record of any nation's participation in the U. N. is a good test of that nation's application of its foreign policy. 31.

The pattern has been that African territories have been compelled by imperialist rule and by imperialist economic power to serve as raw materials appendages for western industry and western food consumption. 34. The western powers have been able to build up this relationship not only because their political domination enabled them, both by legislation and by means of force and pressure, to enforce such a pattern, but also because their ownership of large tracts of the best land, their seizure of key mineral resources, their possession of all the commanding heights of the economy gave them an absolute monopoly over economic policy. 35. One of the most striking things about last week's elections was the way they broke up old patterns and cut across old boundaries. The coalition of the urban poor, the South and the intellectuals, that supported the Democratic Party for so long has begun to fall apart. 36. If any new pattern emerged to replace the old it was that younger men tended to defeat older men and new faces to defeat familiar ones. 37. Free access to the U. K. market, duty-free entry of Indian products, and preferential treatment have combined to make it possible for India to diversify the pattern of her trade, and to provide herself with expanding means of payment to sustain increasing purchases from the U. K. 38. Political fact Number One to most candidates is that it takes money to run for office — great gobs of it. To get this money, the legislator must go to people who have some extra cash. 39. For the past 10 days, the Tory leaders have forgotten that their chief duty lies not towards their party or their personal ambitions, but to the offices they hold and the public they claim to serve. 40. There is no doubt that the President's personal style has lost much of its attraction. The great appeal of the Senator, though he was not himself running for office, was only one piece of evidence. 41. If all six countries enjoy complete free trade in this decade it will be a triumph for the President of Guatemala, who has been forcing the pace since he took office some years ago. 42. The Conservative Central Office is distributing a specially prepared four-page leaflet on the Common Market. 43. It is, of course, perfectly true that much of the political debate in Parliament is a sham fight. It is also true that the real distinction of point-of-view often seems to be between those in office and those out of office. 44. The major reason why the people of Africa have taken over the running of their countries is the ambition to lift their homeland out of the category of "economically underdeveloped" regions, to raise their material standards of living and provide adequate social and cultural facilities. 45. Education is seen by the council as having a key role to play in increasing the economic effectiveness of the West Midlands and it urges the fullest use of the region's facilities. 46. In the field of industry special emphasis has been placed on the heavy industries, such as coal, steel and cement, but consumer goods facilities such as sugar refineries and textile plants have also received attention. 47. Growth has proceeded on all fronts in an un-coordinated manner, stimulated and directed by the compulsion to build factories, to develop transportation and electric generation facilities, and to improve productivity on the farm. 48. "Welfare conditions should be brought up to 20th century standards with proper heating, ventilation, locker accommodation and facilities for drying clothes after inclement weather, be made compulsory by law," said a unanimous resolution. 49. "Facilities for retraining need to be developed to enable regional industry and the people employed in industry to cope with the technological and economic changes that are certain to be encountered," the report says. 50. Although the British authorities and the British Broadcasting Corporation had accorded all facilities for preparing the tape for the broadcasts, no explanation had been forthcoming from the British High Commissioner later as to why their statement was not broadcast. 51. The Turkish language newspaper Halkin Sesi comments that the "Cyprus problem cannot be solved by the removal of barricades. The rights of Turkish Cypriots who were equal partners in the administration of the island have to be restored, and that is what our community demands." 52. France was forced to give ground at yesterday's meeting of the six Common Market countries after a heated exchange between the French Foreign Minister and the president of the European Commission over the question of British entry into the European Economic Community. 53. The Swiss business community is sophisticated and highly experienced in international trade. 54. The first reaction from the financial community abroad to the measures taken by the British Government was cautiously favorable. 55. It would be wrong to believe, however, that all is harmony within the community of the Common Market Six. 56. Reactions to the idea of a technological community floated by the Prime Minister, which certainly has some appeal to France, have been heavily qualified by insistence on the need for such cooperation to be truly "European". 57. That the Negro community (in the U. S. A.) is in the throes of profound economic crisis is evident from the unemployment figures. 58. Pravda expresses confidence that "traditional relations of fraternal cooperation between the two countries" will successfully develop and grow stronger on the basis of Marxist-Leninist principles and the profound community of interests of our Socialist countries. II. Многозначные служебные слова 1. Since — грамматический омоним.

Up to the present, international agreements on the prices of certain major products have scarcely modified the situation since prices are always dictated by the big industrial powers. Вплоть до настоящего времени международные соглашения о ценах на некоторые . основные продукты вряд ли изменили положение дел, поскольку цены всегда определяются (диктуются) великими промышленными державами. Since 1945 immense changes have occurred in the Far East. Большие изменения произошли на Дальнем Востоке с 1945 года. Примечание.

While the negotiation has been protracted, there is no evidence that a deadlock has been reached. Хотя переговоры затянулись, нет оснований считать, что они зашли в тупик. Примечание. While в сочетании с причастием обычно не переводится. While rejecting in principle any interference in the internal affairs of young national states, the socialist countries consider it their duty to help the peoples in strengthening their independence. Отвергая в принципе любое вмешательство во внутренние дела молодых национальных государств, социалистические страны считают своим долгом помочь народам в укреплении их суверенитета. 3. For — грамматический омоним. Выступая в предложении в качестве союза, for переводится на русский язык: ибо, так как. How to guarantee durable peace on our planet? The best way is general and complete disarmament, for it rules out force in settlement of international issues. Как обеспечить длительный мир на нашей планете?

По мере того как мировая социалистическая система становится сильнее, международное положение меняется все больше и больше в пользу народов, борющихся за независимость, демократию и социальный прогресс. Difficult as the task was, they set a time-limit for its fulfillment. Как ни трудна была эта задача (хотя эта задача была очень трудной), они установили срок для ее выполнения.

Never since the critical days of Munich and the late thirties has the future of Britain, and indeed of the whole world prospect of war and peace, been so closely bound up with the internal battle of policy within the Labor movement. 3.
