Английский язык. Уроки и упражнения. Пробный выпуск. Идиомы и Скороговорки.


Уважаемые подписчики, доброе время суток!

Это первый пробный выпуск рассылки Английский язык. Уроки и упражнения.
Для начала начнем с простого.

Идиомы.

Не вызывает сомнения, что помимо регулярного пополнения словарного запаса, нужно самым серьезным образом заботиться об обогащении своей речи устойчивыми словосочетаниями, т.е. идиомами изучаемого языка.
Идиомы бывают весьма специфичны, а бывают на удивление схожи со своими русскими аналогами.
Предлагаем Вашему вниманию наиболее употребительные фразы и выражения с примерами на английском языке.

So far (as yet) - up to now, all the while up to now
1. Hm! May I ask what you have said so far? (B. Shaw)
2. Thirty years ago five doctors gave me six months to live, and I've seen three of them out so far. (D. Cusack)
3. So far you are right. (W.S. Maugham)

As a matter of the fact - in fact, in reality; to be exact, really
1. Haven't you finished? - As a matter of fact, we haven't begun. (A. Cronin)
2. Do you happen to have any cigarettes, by any chance? - No, I don't, as a matter of fact. (J. Salinger)
3. I've been meaning to have a word with you as a matter of fact. (Gr. Greene)

To put up with - to bear, to endure, to tolerate
1.If only he could be happy again she could put up with it. (J. Galsworthy)
2.She's my sister. We put up with each other. (I. Murdoch)
3.I want to know how long this state of things between us is to last? I have put up with it long enough. (J. Galsworthy)

The shells that she sells in the seashore are the seashells, I'm sure.

А пока единственное упражнение на сегодня, переведите текст (J.K. Rowling - Harry Potter and SS) :

CHAPTER ONE
THE BOY WHO LIVED

Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.

Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.

The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended she didn't have a sister, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.

When Mr. and Mrs. Dursley woke up on the dull, gray Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country. Mr. Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work, and Mrs. Dursley gossiped away happily as she wrestled a screaming Dudley into his high chair.

None of them noticed a large, tawny owl flutter past the window.
