6. В английском языке есть ряд глаголов, которые употребляются с послелогами и образуют новые понятия. Благодаря послелогам сравнительно немногочисленная группа слов отличается большой многозначностью. К этой группе относятся глаголы to get, to be, to make, to go, to put и ряд других.

В словаре глаголы с послелогом пишутся после основного значения глагола в порядке алфавита послелогов. Часто перед послелогом пишется только начальная буква основного глагола, например:

to go – идти

to go about – циркулировать (о слухах, деньгах)

to go back – возвращаться

to go in for – увлекаться

Следует отметить, что в юридическом английском большую роль играют глаголы с послелогами. Например, parties enter into contracts, put down deposits, serve (documents) upon other parties, write off debts и др.

7. В английском языке часто существительное употребляется в функции определения без изменения своей формы. Структура «существительное + существительное + существительное» и т.д. вызывает трудности при переводе, так как существительные стоят подряд. Главным словом в такой группе является последнее, а все предшествующие существительные являются определениями к нему.

Некоторые существительные-определения могут переводиться прилагательными, например:

сane – тростник, cane sugar – тростниковый сахар

sugar – сахар, sugar cane – сахарный тростник.

Однако подобный способ перевода не всегда возможен; часто такие определения приходится переводить существительными в косвенных падежах или предложными оборотами. Порядок перевода обусловливается смысловыми связями между определениями и определяемым словом. Перевод следует начинать справа налево с последнего существительного, а существительные, стоящие перед ним в роли определения, нужно переводить на русский язык существительными в косвенных падежах (чаще родительном) или предложным оборотом, например:

export grain – зерно на экспорт (экспортное зерно)

grain export – экспорт зерна

8. Научная литература характеризуется наличием большого количества терминов. Термин – слово или словосочетание, которое имеет одно строго определенное значение для определенной области науки. Неизвестный термин следует искать в терминологическом словаре. Процент узкоспециальной терминологии в юридической литературе составляет 30–40% всех ключевых слов.

III. ОСОБЕННОСТИ ГРАММАТИЧЕСКОГО СТРОЯ АНГЛИЙСКОГО ЯЗЫКА

В силу особенностей исторического развития английского языка в его грамматической системе сохранилось минимальное число окончаний.

Грамматические окончания в английском языке

Окончание	Часть речи	Словообразование
-s	Имени существительного 1) во мн. числе, 2) 's в притяжательном падеже Глагола в 3-м лице ед. числа в утвердительной форме наст. вр. (Present Simple Tense)	_______
-er	Имени прилагательного в сравнительной степени	Имя существительное, обозначающее действующее лицо, аппарат, прибор
-est	Имени прилагательного в превосходной степени	_______
-ed	Глагола: 1) в личной форме простого прошедшего времени (Past Simple Tense); 2) в неличной форме (Participle II)	_______
-ing	Глагола в неличных формах: Participle I – причастие настоящего времени Gerund Verbal Noun – отглагольное существительное	_______

Поскольку количество суффиксов английского языка, по которым можно установить, к какой части речи относится данное слово, сравнительно невелико, для уточнения грамматических функций слова, взятого отдельно в предложении, используются: 1) строевые слова; 2) твердый порядок слов.

Строевые слова-признаки

имени существительного	глагола
Артикль а name – имя an aim – цель the machine - машина	Прединфинитивная частица to name – называть to aim – нацеливаться to machine – обрабатывать механически
Предлог in turn – по очереди without result – без результата	Модальный или вспомогательный глагол You must turn to the left. Вам надо повернуть налево. Their efforts will result in success. Их усилия приведут к успеху.
Местоимение (притяжательное, вопросительное, неопределенное, отрицательное, относительное) my work – моя работа his studies – его занятия Whose plans are better? – Чьи планы лучше? No vacant seats are left. (Никаких) свободных мест не осталось.	Местоимение (личное, вопросительное, относительное) I work. Я работаю. He studies. Он занимается. Who plans the research? Кто планирует это научное исследование? The car which seats 5 persons. Машина, которая вмещает 5 человек.

IV. РАБОТА НАД ТЕКСТОМ

Поскольку основной целевой установкой обучения иностранному языку является получение информации из иноязычного источника, особое внимание следует уделять чтению текстов. Понимание текста достигается при осуществлении двух видов чтения:

1) изучающего чтения;

2) чтения с общим охватом содержания.

Точное и полное понимание текста осуществляется путем изучающего чтения, которое предполагает умение самостоятельно проводить лексико-грамматический анализ текста. Итогом изучающего чтения является адекватный перевод текста на родной язык с помощью словаря. При этом следует развивать навыки пользования отраслевыми терминологическими словарями и словарями сокращений.

Читая текст, предназначенный для понимания общего содержания, необходимо, не обращаясь к словарю, понять основной смысл прочитанного.

Оба вида чтения складываются из следующих умений: а) догадываться о значении незнакомых слов на основе словообразовательных признаков и контекста; б) видеть интернациональные слова и определять их значение; в) находить знакомые грамматические формы и конструкции и устанавливать их эквиваленты в русском языке; г) использовать имеющийся в тексте иллюстративный материал, схемы и т.д.; д) применять знания по специальным предметам в качестве основы смысловой и языковой догадки.

Не Was A Philosopher

1. Socrates was a great philosopher. He lived in Athens in 399 B.C. He talked to anyone who listened to him, in the streets and market places. He was discussing philosophy with students, sailors or tradesmen. Socrates was questioning men about what they believed in and why. He always wanted to know how they could prove it. He met every answer with a new question and each answer after that with another question.

2. Some Athenians called him a dangerous idler who did nothing. The Oracle of Delphi called him the wisest man alive. But Socrates, with a cool skepticism, considered that his wisdom lay only in the fact that unlike other men, he knew how great his ignorance was.

3. He refused to accept a penny for teaching. The philosopher was sure he could never teach anyone anything. He simply tried to teach people how to think.

4. His enemies hated him. They believed he made young minds doubt and mock everything and it was undermining respect for democracy itself.

5. He was brought to the court and they voted him guilty. The prosecutor demanded the death penalty. Under the law of Athens it was now for the defendant to propose an alternative. Did Socrates defend himself? " I shall not change my conduct even if I must die hundred deaths".

6. His friends wanted to liberate him out of prison but Socrates refused to escape. He spent his last hours discussing the problem of good and evil. His mind was never idle. The man is gone, but the " Socratic" method of questioning and teaching has always been respected since then.

The need for law

1. When the world was at primitive stage, its laws were as primitive as the society. The more develop the society is the more complicated its legislation is. We have been waiting for ages to see the modern laws appear. Every community has made laws to protect its members from violence and to ensure the basic rights of individuals. Otherwise the stronger men can join together and terrorize the neighbourhood.

2. Without law one cannot go out in broad daylight without the fear of being kidnapped, robbed or murdered. There are more good people than bad ones, but there are enough of the bad to make law necessary in the interests of everyone.

3. It is quite obvious that sometimes even law-abiding people are not as good as they ought to be. If people never told lies, never took anything that didn’t belong to them, never refused to do anything that they ought to do, the society would still require some rules of behavior, i.e. laws to protect our social life. So we have to live according to some laws however good we may be. The law has to be provide for all kinds of possibilities. In the absence of law everybody can only rely upon the law of the jungle.

4. The main of each state power is to provide laws which help its people to live in satisfactory social conditions and as comfortably as possible. This is not at all an easy thing to do, and no country has been successful in producing laws which are entirely satisfactory. But the imperfect laws are still better than the complete absence of them.

5. Every country has its own legislation machinery and procedure. The procedure of adopting the law is different in each country but there are some similar stages. In the USA any congressman either in the House of Representatives or in the Senate or the President may initiate a new legislation. A bill is first introduced in the House of Representatives and then referred to one of the standing committees, which organizes hearing on it and may approve, amend or shelve the draft. In the Senate the procedure is much the same as in the House of Representatives. Finally the bill is to be signed by the President, who has the right to veto it. If the President vetoes a bill, it can still become a law, but only if it is passed by a two-thirds majority in both houses of Congress.

6. In Britain new legislation usually starts in the House of Lords. In each house a bill is considered in three stages, called readings. The first reading is purely formal; the second is usually the occasion for debate. After the second reading the bill is examined in details. If passed after its third reading it goes to the other house. Finally, the bill goes to the reigning monarch for the royal assent. Nowadays the royal assent is merely a formality.

Пояснения к тексту

a bill – законопроект;

to shelve – откладывать;

a draft – проект, черновик;

royal assent – королевская санкция, одобрение.
