Сложно-подчиненное

В сложно-подчиненном предложении границей между составляющими его простыми

предложениями (главным и придаточным) служат подчинительные союзы that, which, who, when, if, because и др. (см. выше)

Однако некоторые из этих союзов совпадают по форме с предлогами (напр., союз for (так как) и предлог for (для) ) . Вот почему надо еще убедиться, что и справа и слева от предполагаемой границы есть пары "подлежащее-сказуемое".

Дополнительную трудность при членении сложно-подчиненного предложения вносит и место придаточного по отношению к главному. Придаточное встречается не только после главного, но также впереди главного и внутри его (часто между подлежащим и сказуемым главного). В этих случаях уточнение подлежащих и сказуемых, проверка их на согласование между собой в числе и лице ("правило одного -s") приобретают особое значение:

Many years have passed since that Много лет прошло с того времени.

предложении вводит обстоятельство

Coal will be sent when required. Уголь будет послан, когда потребуется.

(Союз when с причастием в простом

предложении).

When the boiling is reached the Когда кипение достигнуто, добавление

(Союз when в сложном предложении

вводит придаточное условное: придаточное

впереди главного: началом главного служит

его подлежащее – the adding).

The distance that light travels in one Расстояние, которое свет проходит за

second is 300 thousand kilometers. (Союз одну секунду, равно тремстам тысячам

that вводит придаточное определительное километров.

придаточное внутри главного; оно

заканчивается там, где появляется

сказуемое главного –is).

Прежде, чем приступить к упражнениям, составьте в тетради по грамматике алфавитный список подчинительных союзов с их русскими соответствиями. Против тех, которые совпадают по форме с предлогами, укажите еще их значения в качестве предлогов: after (после), before (перед), because (of) (из-за), for (для, в течение), since (с, со временем), until (до).

VI. В сложно-подчиненных предложениях найдите подлежащее и сказуемые, укажите границы

UNIVERSITIES OF ENGLAND

We know that Britain's oldest centres of education are Oxford and Cambridge. The name of Oxford became known in 912. How and when was Cambridge established is not exactly known. But it became famous in the 17th century when Newton lectured on mathematics.

Oxford and Cambridge are so similar that they are called sister-universities. Both universities consist of many independent colleges. The main subjects that the students are taught are philosophy, history, theology, medicine, natural sciences and mathematics.

Almost all the students of both universities are from the schools which serve only the aristocracy. That is why one of the main problem of the working class movement in England was how to open the way to the education for the working class.

The first of the technical colleges has been opened in Manchester, and it was followed by the establishment of similar colleges in Birmingham, Liverpool and other industrial cities. Besides the traditional university subjects they teach also agriculture, applied sciences and engineering.

Yet, much more is to be done in order to make away with1 the privileges of the ruling classes and bring the education within the reach2 of the working masses.

Комментарий:

to make way with1 - положить конец, покончить

to bring within the reach - сделать доступным

XIV. Прочно заучите слова:

education, engineering, movement, way, similar, independent. both, to become, to open, to follow, to serve, to call, to consist (of), almost, exactly, besides.

XV. Найдите в тексте:

а) синонимы к словам: principal, to discover;

б) антонимы к словам: new, unknown, dependent;

в) английские соответствия к словам и выражениям: должно быть сделано, техника, похожи,

становиться, состоять (из), следовать, кроме, точно, независимый, главный, служить,

студентов обучают, правящие классы.

XVI. Составьте план и перескажите текст:

XVII. Дополнительно перевести письменно:

Britain's oldest and most famous universities, Oxford and Cambridge, date from the 12th century. These great centres of education and learning typify the English University to such an extent that these universities keep to the traditions of the past but behind the old-fashioned life we find well-equipped laboratories and great libraries holding thousands of volumes.

Both sisters-universities are the most "aristocratic" universities of Great Britain, and the cost of living there is higher than at any of the others. The students are almost entirely from the schools which serve the aristocracy.

Б. ГРАММАТИЧЕСКИЙ МИНИМУМ И УПРАЖНЕНИЯ

Тема первая

Кроме союзов, перечисленных в уроке 11, надо запомнить еще так называемые составные союзы. Некоторые из них уже встречались при изучении степеней сравнения прилагательных:

Теперь запишите остальные:

bothand (как… так и)

eitheror (или… или)

neithernor (ни… ни)

Первые элементы этих парных союзов следует отличать от местоимений:

both (оба, и тот и другой)

either (любой)

neither (ни тот, ни другой)

Ясно, что признаками парных союзов являются последующие …and, …or, …nor.

I. Укажите, являются ли выделенные слова местоимениями или союзами, и переведите

Ни одно из трех слов, образующих оборот, отдельно не переводится, но всему обороту соответствует русское именно (или только, как раз и т.п.)

It is these experiments that led to a Именно эти опыты привели к открытию

discovery of neutron. нейтрона.

Напомним, что it не переводится и тогда, когда оно является формальным подлежащим в безличных предложениях (в этом случае после глагола to be часто стоит прилагательное):

Тема третья

Придаточные предложения без союзов. Союз that, с помощью которого присоединяются придаточные дополнительны и определительные, часто опускается. Однако при переводе союз обязателен: для придаточного дополнительного – "что", для определительного – "который". Характер же придаточного можно установить по тому слову в главном предложении, к которому придаточное непосредственно примыкает: за глаголом следует придаточное дополнительное (союз "что"), а за существительным – определительное (союз "который"):

We know copper is nearly as good Мы знаем, что медь почти такой же

a conductor as silver. хороший проводник как и серебро.

Г. ПРАКТИКА ПО ПЕРЕВОДУ

Сложное предложение (продолжение)

В уроке 11 говорилось, что специфической трудностью при переводе сложного предложения есть членение его на простые. Для этого важно не только узнавать в тексте союзы, связывающие части сложного предложения, но также всегда проверять, имеется ли в каждом из простых свое подлежащее и свое сказуемое.

Вы уже упражнялись в членении сложно-сочиненных предложений (с союзами and, but, or и бессоюзных) и в членении сложно-подчиненных (с союзами which, that, for, before, since, because, after). Теперь эту работу продолжим на сложно-подчиненнных предложениях с другими союзами, а также бессоюзными.

to whom which of them to which

which takes who to them which

about whom those who to whose

III. Переведите, обращая внимание на придаточные подлежащие и придаточные сказуемые

VII. Установите простые и сложные предложения, определите в них главные члены. В каждом

из сложных выделите простые и установите характер связи между ними (сочинительная или

подчинительная). Переведите союзы, полный перевод не обязателен:

  1. Practical considerations limit the number of stages, and it is doubtful whether more than two stages will be used.

  2. Due to the considerable deposits of non-ferrous metals the requirements of the electromagnetic, automobile and many other branches of industry are largely provided for.

  3. The double rotation turbine is essentially a reaction turbine in principle but is distinctive in that the nozzles are permitted to rotate in the direction opposite to the blading.

  4. These valves are closed when the unit is shut down and isolate it from the remainder of the equipment.

  5. Any condition that causes metallic contact between the shaft and the bearing will lead to vibration.

VIII. Проанализируйте предложения (найдите подлежащие и сказуемые, выделите главное

предложение и придаточные). Установите характер придаточных бессоюзных –

дополнительное или определительное. Затем дайте перевод, после чего обязательно

прочтите предложения вслух, стараясь паузами и интонацией выделять придаточные

бессоюзные:

  1. Fuels are substances we burn in order to provide heat.

  2. The chief property gases possess is their ability rapidly to occupy space.

  3. The discovery of the radiation, radioactive substances emit was of the greatest importance.

  4. The Curie found polonium was many times more active than uranium.

  5. In 1898 they announced, they discovered the element radium.

  6. The number of electrons an atom loses or receives is called its valence.

  7. The properties of composite matter are always quite different from those of the elements it consists of.

  8. The application the radioactive isotopes are finding in different fields of life is of growing importance,

  9. In solidifying some metals liberate the same amount of heat they absorb in melting.

  10. Even at the lowest temperatures we can obtain the common gases do not liquefy and freeze if they are kept at low pressure.

Сложное предложение (заключение)

Тогда как при переводе простого предложения основная задача – найти подлежащее и сказуемое, специфическая трудность при переводе сложного предложения – разбиение его на простые. Поскольку в технических текстах сложные предложения составляют большинство, нам очень важно научиться этой операции.

Можно составить алгоритм, который подводил бы к разбиению сложного предложения на простые. Но такой алгоритм будет громоздким. В нем надо предусмотреть, что союзы могут соединять не только простые предложения, но и однородные члены внутри простого (and, but, or). Что некоторые союзы совпадают по форме с предлогами (for, after, before, because). Что придаточное может стоять и впереди главного, и внутри его, и позади его. Что оно бывает также бессоюзным, и многое другое.

Хотя такой общий алгоритм нами не составлялся, отдельные части его последовательно отрабатывались в уроках 11 и 12. Задача теперь в том, чтобы полученные навыки не забывались, а постоянно хранились в памяти. Встретив тот или иной опорный признак (союз, явное сказуемое, явное подлежащее), сопоставьте его с другими признаками, переберите различные возможности, пока не увидите, как данное сложное предложение разбивается на простые.

Чтобы научиться этому, надо сознательно и упорно тренироваться. Тогда с накоплением опыта вы обязательно разовьете и нужную интуицию.

IX. Выполните упражнения в анализе простого предложения. Даны семь предложений, зашифрованные так, что полнозначные слова (и части слов) обозначены с помощью тире, а сохранены только служебные слова и окончания. Найдите в каждом подлежащее и сказуемое, и свое решение запишите в тетради в виде таблички. Например запись:

№ предложения

Подлежащее

Сказуемое

1

4

5

означает, что в первом предложении подлежащим является слово 4, а сказуемое начинается словом 5:

THE WORLD'S FIRST COMPASS

It was in the compass that magnetism first found a practical use. Many centuries ago the people of ancient China noticed the attracting properties of loadstones, that is, magnetic oxides of iron. (A loadstone, which means loading stone, is a name given to the natural magnet).

The property had helped them to discover that a freely suspended magnetized bar points North and South, and so1 it can be used to determine direction. Thus the compass was invented.

In ancient books we find a description of the compass of those days. It was shaped like a spoon mounted on a graduated plate. We know the spoon had to be rotated by hand and when it came to rest2, it was pointing North and South.

The Chinese not only invented the compass but as early as the eleventh century had discovered how to make magnetic needles. This was the first time such a thing had been done anywhere in the world. These needles made of fish-shaped pieces of iron which floated on water, were acted on by the earth's magnetic field.

About the end of the eleventh century the Chinese began to use the compass in navigation. In the twelfth century the compass of the floating needle type came into use3. Its iron-needle was fastened to a thin strip of cork or wood, so that it floated in a bowl of water. The needle was magnetized by contact with a natural magnet taken from the earth. This early seagoing4 compass was in use on Chinese ships up to the seventeenth century. It was probably the best type available if we consider the scientific an technical level of the time.

In Middle Ages there was a lively trade and a busy cultural exchange between China and the Arab countries.

It was from the Chinese that the Arabs first learnt to make compasses and to use them in navigation. The Arabs in their turn introduced the compass to Europe, where it began to appear over eight hundred years ago. We know it was used on Italian, Portuguese and Norwegian ships of the twelfth century.

The great invention of the ancient Chinese was further developed thanks to the skilled Arab an European scientists and thus reached its present perfection.

Professor Neils Bohr, the well known Danish physicist delivered a lecture before the students of Moscow University. "Today, I shall tell you about the development of nuclear physics which was greatly enriched by the scientists of your great country", Neils Bohr said to the students. He gave the student many examples of contribution made by our scientists to world science.

"At the beginning of the 20th century the physicists came up against very great difficulties caused by the discovery of the micro-world", he continued. The scientists spoke in detail about the formation of the modern idea of the micro-world, the development of quantum physics and the discovery and use of the tremendous energy of atomic nuclei. Future physicists, mathematicians, chemists, philosophers who were present at the lecture delivered by professor Neils Bohr listened with great attention.
