Дата публикации: Apr 02, 2015 9:28:39 AM
Вопросы:
1. Выделите диф. сему из оппозиции day -:- night
2. Почему в английском нет слова сутки, а семантика суток передается 24 hours или day and night (= стяжение нулевым артиклем)?
3. Переведите на русский сохранив семантику day/night:
1) One night Harry fell into conversation with the physiotherapist of the Mexican national football team. Однажды вечером (после трудового дня)
2) Legends say that Fuji rose in a night. За одну ночь
3) He stayed three nights with us. Гостил трое суток, ночевал три ночи.
4) He was having a very late night of it with some friends. Веселился до утра
5) She is fifty if she is a day. см. ниже
6) Every day is not Sunday. Не все коту масленница
7) I have apportioned you different duties each day of the week. На каждый день недели
8) He came the same day as you. В тот же день
9) They're on day-and-night duty. круглосуточное дежурство
10) Not universally true; compare Slave Pens to something like Shattered Halls, and it's a night and day difference. Разница, как между ночью и днем / светом и тьмой.
day - светлое время суток, время работы
vs.
night - тёмное время суток, время отдыха
сутки - мн. ч. от сътъкъ "столкновение", производного от сътъкнутися "столкнуться". Су вм. съ — под влиянием слов на су именного происхождения. Таким образом, сутки буквально — "столкновение, слияние дня и ночи". Ср. диал. сутки "углы в избе, стык".
Пушкинский троллинг:
У лукоморья дуб зелёный,
Златая цепь на дубе том.
И днём, и ночью кот учёный
Все ходит по цепи кругом.
if he (or she etc.) is a day = At least (appended to a statement about a person’s age):
He must be seventy if he’s a day = He must be at least 70 years old.
Explanation: The idea is that is she is a day old (or more), which she obviously is, then she must be fifty or more. The idea of her being less than fifty is as incredible as that of her being only a day old.
evening = night = from 6 pm to midnight.
morning = from midnight to noon/midday.
afternoon = from noon to 6 pm.
night = night vs. day = from sunset to sunrise, from 6 pm to 6 am
day =
1) a period of 24 hours
2) from 6 am to 6 pm
3) the hours of the day when you are awake, working, etc.
day (n.)
Old English dæg "day," also "lifetime," from Proto-Germanic *dagaz "day" (cognates: Old Saxon, Middle Dutch, Dutch dag, Old Frisian dei, Old High German tag, German Tag, Old Norse dagr, Gothic dags), according to Watkins, from from PIE *agh- (2) "a day" considered as a span of time. He adds that the Germanic initial d- is "of obscure origin."
Not considered to be related to Latin dies (see diurnal), but rather to Sanskrit dah "to burn," Lithuanian dagas "hot season," Old Prussian dagis "summer." Meaning originally, in English, "the daylight hours;" expanded to mean "the 24-hour period" in late Anglo-Saxon times.
The day formerly began at sunset, hence Old English Wodnesniht was what we would call "Tuesday night." Names of the weekdays were not regularly capitalized in English until 17c. Day off first recorded 1883; day-tripper first recorded 1897.
The days in nowadays, etc. is a relic of the Old English and Middle English use of the adverbial genitive.
