The woman who played the nurse wasn't Jill Sheen, was she?

Женщина, которая играла роль няни была не Джилл Шин, не так ли?

a The woman who played the nurse. Женщина, которая играла роль няни.

Who - союзное слово который вводит определительное предложение (отвечающее на вопрос какая). В уроке 15 вы узнали союзное слово that: The hairdresser's that Mrs. Hunt goes to. - Парикмахерская, в которую идет миссис Хант. Разница в употреблении этих слов заключается в том, что who употребляется по отношению к лицам (the woman who played, the man who waited for you - человек, который вас ждал), a that относится как к одушевленным, так и к неодушевленным предметам.

б to play the nurse - играть роль няни, играть няню.

29 Did you really enjoy the play? Вам действительно понравилась пьеса?

30 You don't really like musicals, do you? Вам на самом деле не нравится оперетта,

не правда ли?

31 No, not really. Да, на самом деле. (См. прим. 17, урок 7.)

32 I prefer straight plays. Я предпочитаю настоящие пьесы.

a straight play - пьеса в полном смысле слова, драма, традиционная пьеса, не оперетта, не мюзикл и т.п. Last week we went to seeWaiting for Godot. На прошлой неделе мы ходили на " Ожидание Гобо".

а We went to see - (букв. Мы ходили увидеть) - пойти на (пьесу, спектакль).

б Waiting for Godot. " Ожидание Года" модернистская пьеса известного

современного французского драматурга С. Беккета.

34 The production wasn't very good, was it? Постановка была не очень хорошая,

не правда ли?

35 You were lucky. Вам повезло.

36 Tonight's play was dull. Сегодняшняя пьеса была скучной. (См. прим. 36, урок 9.)

37 Who was the actor who played the doctor? Кто был тот артист, который играл

доктора?

a Who was the actor...? - Кто был тот артист...? Who - вопросительное слово

бThe actor - тот артист В данном случае артикль находит отражение в переводе (тот артист), так как его роль усиливается определительным придаточным предложением who played the doctor - mom самый артист, который играл доктора. Этим же объясняется и употребление определенного артикля в данном случае вообще (ср. прим. 6, урок 1).

в who played the doctor. Who - союзное слово. См. прим. 28 к этому уроку.

38 Why did you buy tickets for this play? Почему ты купил билеты на этот

спектакль?

39 То please you. Чтобы доставить тебе удовольствие.

То please - доставлять удовольствие, угождать.

40 Oh... thanks... why don't we dance? О... спасибо... Потанцуем? (букв. Почему

мы не танцуем? )

MY FAVOURITE SINGER

 

My favourite singer is Michael Jackson. I like his songs very much because they are full of energy and very melodic. I also like the way he dances.

There were nine children in Michael's family. They lived in a small four-room house. Today he lives in a house which has seventeen rooms downstairs and sixteen rooms upstairs. It stands in 2, 700 acres of ground. Besides the house there are guest houses, a golf course, a swimming pool, tennis courts, stables, gardens, lakes, forests and a zoo.

A lot of strange stories are told about Jackson. It's difficult to decide whether they are true or not. Michael never gives interviews and is rarely seen in public, except on stage. Certainly his behaviour may seem eccentric. In public he often wears a face mask to protect himself from germs, he sleeps inside an oxygen capsule, which he believes will help him to live longer. But his manager says that Jackson isn't eccentric. He is just shy. Michael sang in public for the first time when he was five. Since that time he has always been in the public eye. And since that time he has been working like a grown-up.

There were times when he came home from school and he only had time to put his books and get ready for the studio. He often sang until late at night, even if it was past his bedtime. There was a park across the street from the studio, and Michael looked at the kids playing games. And he just stared at them in wonder — he couldn't imagine such freedom, such a carefree life.

Now he says about himself that in the crowd he is afraid, on stage he is safe. Off stage he feels happiest with animals and children. He is well-known for his childish tastes. It's not a secret that his favourite hero is Peter Pan. Michael has been called " the child who never grew up", but I think he is a grown-up who was never allowed to be a child.

Whether he is crazy, childish, eccentric or just shy, he is no fool. He has created a brilliantly successful image, he makes a lot of money and spends it on the things he wants. Who wouldn't like to do the same?

LESSON SEVENTEEN (17)

SEVENTEENTH (17^th) LESSON

A nice quiet afternoon

 

Part 1

 

Sheila Morgan Tim Fenton phoned me last night. He phoned me on Friday, too. I haven't seen him since I went to Simon's party last Wednesday. He invited me to go to the coast on Sunday but I couldn't go because I had to visit some of my parents' friends. I didn't go with the Hunts. They went to Hampton Court. Tim asked me to meet him tomorrow in front of

the entrance to Regent's Park zoo. He hasn't got to work tomorrow.

We're going to spend a nice quiet afternoon together. I need a quiet afternoon. I want to go to Regent's Park. It's a marvellous place for sitting and talking quietly. I really love London. I hope to work here one day. Perhaps I can work for a European company here. I understand they always need bilingual secretaries.
