Б ) Оборот « Именительный падеж с инфинитивом » (Nominative with the Infinitive) или « сложное подлежащее » (complex subject)



 

При сказуемом, выраженном глаголом в страдательном залоге.

 

Оборот «именительный падеж с инфинитивом» употребляется, когда сказуемое выражено следующими глаголами в страдательном залоге: to say, to state, to report, to announce, to believe, to think, to suppose, to consider и т.п.

 

e.g. The delegation is reported to have left Moscow. – Сообщают, что делегация уехала из Москвы.

 

Предложение с данным оборотом переводится на русский язык сложноподчинённым предложением. Глагол в страдательном залоге переводится на русский язык глаголом в действительном залоге в форме 3-го лица множественного числа с неопределённо-  личным значением (говорят, сообщают и т.п.), играющим роль главного предложения, за которым следует придаточное предложение с союзом «что». Существительное или местоимение, стоящее перед глаголом в страдательном залоге, становится в русском предложении подлежащим придаточного предложения.

Предложение с оборотом «именительного падежа с инфинитивом» можно во многих случаях перевести на русский язык и простым предложением, в котором глагол с неопределенным значением играет роль вводного предложения.

 

e.g.  The delegation is reported to have left Moscow. –Делегация, как сообщают, уехала из Москвы.

 

Определительное придаточное предложение с оборотом «именительный падеж с инфинитивом» (или заменяющий такое определительное придаточное предложение причастный оборот) переводится на русский язык предложением, в котором глагол с неопределённо- личным значением играет роль вводного предложения.

 

e.g. The motor-vessel «Smolny», (which is) reported to have arrived in Odessa on Monday, brought a large number of passengers. – Теплоход «Смольный», который, как сообщают, прибыл в Одессу в понедельник, привёз большое количество пассажиров.

 

В предложении с оборотом «именительный падеж с инфинитивом» после сказуемого иногда стоит дополнение с предлогом «bу» и т.o, инфинитив стоит не непосредственно за глаголом в страдательном залоге. При переводе на русский язык дополнение с предлогом «by» становится подлежащим главного предложения, а глагол в страдательном залоге заменяется глаголом в действительном залоге и становится сказуемым главного предложения.

 

e.g. The price is considered by the buyers to be too high. – Покупатели считают, что цена слишком высокая.

 

При сказуемом, выраженном глаголом в действительном залоге.

 

Оборот «именительный падеж с инфинитивом» употребляется, когда сказуемое выражено глаголами: to seem, to appear, to prove, to turn out, to happen, to chanсe, которые употребляются в действительном залоге.

 

e.g. The weather seems to be improving. – Погода, кажется улучшается.

He proved to be a good engineer. – Он оказался хорошим инженером.

I happened to be there at the time. – Случилось так, что я был там в то время. (Я случайно оказался там в это время).

This house appears to have been built by a good architect. – Этот дом, по-видимому, был построен хорошим архитектором.

 

 

При сказуемом, выраженном прилагательным likely, unlikely, certain, sure с глаголом-связкой to be.

 

В этом случае Indefinite Infinitive очень часто выражает действие, относящееся к будущему.

 

e.g. The goods are unlikely to be unloaded today. – Маловероятно, что (Вряд ли) товары будут разгружены сегодня.

He is sure to be asked about it. – Его непременно спросят об этом.

 

С прилагательным «likely» вместо «to be» иногда употребляется «to seem» и «to appear».

 

e.g. They seem most likely to have received our letter. – Вероятнее всего (кажется весьма вероятным), что они уже получили наше письмо.

The goods appear unlikely to arrive at the end of the week. – Кажется маловероятным, что товары прибудут в конце недели.

There seem likely to be some objections to your proposal. – Кажется вероятным, что будут некоторые возражения против вашего предложения.

 

Инфинитивные обороты с likely встречаются в определительных придаточных предложениях.

 

e.g. The delegates who are likely to arrive tomorrow will be lodged at this hotel. – Делегаты, которые, вероятно, прибудут завтра, будут размещены в этой гостинице.

 в) Инфинитив последующего действия (the Continuative Infinitive)

 

Среди многих функций инфинитива следует выделить инфинитив в функции обстоятельства последующего действия, который представляет определённую трудность при переводе, так как формально нет различия между инфинитивом цели и инфинитивом последующего действия (в редких случаях на него указывает запятая).

Инфинитив в этой функции выражает действие, следующее за действием, выраженным глаголом-сказуемым, является как бы его логическим развитием. Наглядным примером инфинитива в этой функции могут служить известные слова Байрона:

 

I woke one morning to find myself famous. – Я проснулся в одно прекрасное утро и обнаружил, что я знаменит.

 

Переведите на русский язык следующие предложения:

Women generally live longer than men, so a girl born today will probably live to the age of 80. In the future, people will probably live much longer than that. So maybe one of us will live long enough to hear an orchestra whose members are all over 100. (Men’s Health)

21). Then she told Pongo her story. She had eight puppies, but one afternoon she woke up to find not one puppy in bed with her. (Smith)

                 г) Инфинитив в адъективных сочетаниях (в функции определения)

В функции определения инфинитив в английском языке может соответствовать и в русском языке инфинитиву в той же функции.

e.g.  There is every reason to suppose that the cargo will arrive in time – Есть все основания полагать, что груз прибудет вовремя.

Однако в английском языке инфинитив в функции определения используется гораздо шире, чем в русском.

Инфинитив, определяющий существительное, во многих случаях равен по значению определительному придаточному предложению.

Сказуемое такого придаточного предложения выражает действие, которое должно произойти в будущем. На русский язык такой инфинитив переводится определительным придаточным предложением с глаголом- сказуемым, выражающем необходимость или долженствование, а также с глаголом-сказуемым в форме будущего времени.

e.g.  The question will be discussed at the conference shortly to open in Moscow. – Вопрос будет обсужден на конференции, которая должна вскоре открыться (которая скоро откроется) в Москве.

В адъективных словосочетаниях инфинитив может быть в форме как действительного, так и страдательного залога, если определяемое обозначает предмет, подвергающийся действию, выраженному инфинитивом. В данном случае Indefinite Infinitive Passive может быть равен по значению определительному придаточному предложению, сказуемое которого выражает возможность.

e.g. Most of the beautiful buildings to be seen in this street were built in the 19th century. – Большинство красивых зданий, которые можно увидеть на этой улице, были построены в 19-ом веке.

Инфинитив в функции определения часто встречается после слов the first, the last и т.д. В этом случае инфинитив равен по значению определительному придаточному предложению со сказуемым в том же времени, в котором стоит сказуемое в главном предложении. Такие придаточные предложения, однако, очень редко употребляются вместо инфинитива. Инфинитив в этом случае переводится на русский язык глаголом в личной форме.

e.g.   I am sure he will be the first to come to the meeting. – Я уверен, что он первым придет на собрание.

Инфинитив в функции определения может также указывать на назначение предмета, обозначенного существительным или местоимением. В данном случае при переводе следует обратить внимание на порядок слов.

e.g.   He brought me a book to read. – Он принес мне почитать книгу.

She gave him some water to drink. – Она дала ему попить воды.

Перед инфинитивом, указывающим на назначение предмета, может стоять относительное местоимение which или whom с предшествующим предлогом. Это относительное местоимение может быть опущено, причем предлог тогда будет ставится после инфинитива, а при наличии прямого дополнения – после него.

Такие обороты переводятся на русский язык инфинитивом или придаточным предложением со сказуемым, выражающим возможность.

e.g.   The children have a good garden in which to play. = The children have a good garden to play in. – У детей есть хороший сад, в котором они могут играть.

    I have no one to whom to speak on this question. = I have no one to speak to on this question. –Мне не с кем поговорить по этому вопросу.
