А It is your suitcase. Is it your suitcase? It isn't (is not) your suitcase.

Б She has got her English money. Has she got her English money? She hasn't (has not) got her English money.

В You want a bar of chocolate. Do you want a bar of chocolate? You don't (do not) want a bar of chocolate.

41 Our postcards are here, miss. Наши открытки находятся здесь, мисс. (См. прим. 29,

урок I.)

42 How much are they? Сколько они стоят?

43 A small postcard's threepence (Зр). Маленькая открытка стоит 3 пенса.

a 's = is.

б р принятое сокращение для слова репсе пенсы.

в Внимательно послушайте произношение слова threepence.

Обратите внимание, что оно пишется слитно, в одно слово.

44 How much is a big postcard? Сколько стоит большая открытка?

45 How many would you like? Сколько штук вы хотите?

Как вы видите, русскому слову сколько соответствуют в английском языке how much и how many. Разница между ними заключается в том, что слово much употребляется с неисчисляемыми существительными, a many - с исчисляемыми. В вопросе How much is a big postcard? подразумевается неисчисляемое существительное money. How much money...? В вопросе же How many would you like? имеется в виду исчисляемое существительное postcards - How many postcards? В русском переводе это подчеркивается употреблением слова Штук Сколько штук вы хотите?.

46 It's Big Ben. Это Большой Бен.

Big Веn так называются часы на здании английского Парламента в Лондоне. Название свое эти часы получили от имени мастера, сделавшего их в середине 19 века.

47 Is this Westminster Abbey? Это Вестминстерское аббатство?

Westminster Abbey - главная официальная церковь Лондона, расположенная возле здания парламента.

48 It's St Paul's Cathedral. Это Собор снятого Павла.

а St Paul's Cathedral шедевр мировой архитектуры, созданный крупнейшим английским архитектором Сэром Кристофером Реном (1675-1723 гг.). Собор расположен в деловой части Лондона - Сити.

б St Paul's - Святого Павла. Окончание 's окончание притяжательною падежа,

выражающего отношение принадлежности (См. прим. 1 к этому уроку.)

в St - святой, общепринятое сокращение от слова saint - святой. Произносится всегда как полное слово.

49 Is it near here? Это недалеко отсюда?

50 Simon, what are you doing? Саймон, что ты делаешь?

51 Her books aren't here. Ее книги не здесь.

Вы впервые встречаетесь с притяжательным местоимением her её. В начале урока вы узнали притяжательное местоимение his его. His girl-friend's looking at the newspapers.

52 Has she got it? У неё есть она?

it заменяет существительное the book.

53 She's got that. Та у неё есть. She hasn't got this. Этой у неё нет.

Противопоставление that и this, как вы знаете, подчеркивает удаленность и приближенность объекта (см. прим. 18, урок З): книга, которую предлагает Шейла, находится дальше от Саймона, чем та, которую он выбрал сам.

54 He's paying. Это он платит.

Саймон выделяет голосом обычно безударное личное местоимение he (логическое ударение - ср. прим. 41, урок 3), подчеркивая, что деньги принадлежат отцу. В русском переводе этот факт отражен в добавлении слова это перед местоимением он (смысл: это именно он платит).

55 One twenty. Сто двадцать. (О номере фотоплёнки.)

56 What time is it? Сколько времени?

MY WORKING DAY

On weekdays the alarm-clock wakes me up at 6.30 and my working day begins. I'm not an early riser, that's why it's very difficult for me to get out of bed, especially in winter. I switch on my tape-recorder and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom, take a warm shower, clean my teeth and shave. After that I go to my bedroom to get dressed.

Usually my mother makes breakfast for me. But when she is away on business or just doesn't have to get up early, I make breakfast myself. While having breakfast, I listen to the latest news on the radio.

I leave the house at 7.30 and go to the nearest underground station. Last year I tried to enter Moscow University, but unfortunately I failed my entrance examinations. So I thought I should work somewhere. It wasn't easy to find a job, but I managed to get a position of a secretary in a small business company. They agreed to take me because I had studied typewriting, computing and business organisation at school. And besides, I passed my English school-leaving exam with an excellent mark.

It takes me an hour and a half to get to work. But I don't want to waste my time on the train. I've got a small cassette-player and I listen to different texts and dialogues. Sometimes I read a book and retell it silently. If I come across an interesting expression I try to memorize it. I also write some English words on flashcards and learn them.

I usually arrive at work at ten minutes to nine though my working day begins at 9 sharp. There are always some fax messages to translate from English into Russian. Sometimes my boss wants me to write a letter to our business partners abroad. There are also a lot of phone calls which I have to answer.

At 1 o'clock in the afternoon we have lunch. We usually have lunch in a small cafe just round the comer. At 2 o'clock we come back to work. And we work hard till 5 o'clock.

During the working day we also have several short coffee breaks. But sometimes we have no time for them.

I come home at about 7 o'clock in the evening. My parents are usually at home, waiting for me. We have dinner together. Then we sit in the living room, drink tea, watch TV or just talk.

Occasionally I have to stay at work till 6 or even 7 o'clock in the evening. When we have a lot of things to do we go to work on Saturdays. So by the end of the week I get very tired. All I can do on Sundays is to sleep till eleven o'clock, watch television, listen to music and read something in English. And still I always look forward to my next working day because I like my job. I think I get a lot of useful experience.
