Маленький город в Ярославской области. Группа археологов в почтовом отделении связи. Американец Стив беседует по международному телефону с сестрой, остальные уже отзвонились или ждут своей очереди. Стив говорит в телефон на английском, на все более и более повышенных тонах. Наконец зло вешает трубку и в сердцах произносит:
- Распиздяйка!!!
Мы, недоуменно:
- Steve, could you tell it in English?
Стив, немного подумав:
- Yeap, but I need seven words!

Существительное cabbage мы знаем: капуста и капуста. Не та, которая
пачками, а та, которая кочанами. А вот глагол to cabbage широким
кругам меньше известен, хоть и имеет косвенное отношение к той
капусте, которая пачками.
В пьесе "The Reconciliation", написанной в конце XVIII века, миссис
Грим признается, что "now and then cabbaged a penny" (время от времени
тырила копеечку).
Если попытаться представить слово "тырить" в виде cabbage, то мы,
скорее всего, увидим темну ноченьку в деревне и шикающих друг на друга
пацанов, лезущих за заветным кочаном в соседский огород. Увы! Ни того,
ни другого, ни пятого! Этот cabbage не имеет ничего общего со
всенародно любимым овощем.
Дело в том, что в стародавние времена (впрочем, как и сейчас) у
портных после сдачи заказов частенько оставались довольно крупные
лоскуты ткани - cabbage - которые они с удовольствием и
прикарманивали. С миру по нитке - это для неудачников, настоящие герои
работают только с оптовыми поставками. И словечко наше не заставило
себя долго ждать: сначала оно стало глаголом, а затем перекинулось и
на общее понятие, которое в "наших" странах до сих пор иногда
синонимизируют с "принести с работы".
Есть версия, что cabbage как слово произошло от среднефранцузского
cabas - "мошенничество; кража". А та cabbage, которая так вкусна с
лучком и маслицем, берет начало от среднеанглийского caboche, что
означает "голова".

Говорят, что язык до Киева доведет. Как показывает опыт, это еще не худший вариант: иногда он, то есть этот самый язык, особенно если он английский, может завести гораздо дальше и во времени, и в пространстве.

Вот, казалось бы, совершенно безобидное выражение: to read the handwriting on the wall. Вы, конечно, можете сразу сказать: "А у нас на заборе тоже кое-что написано", но не спешите: речь не о граффити и не о происках малолетних хулиганов. Эта фраза означает "предвосхищать будущие события по разным знакам и намекам", причем ни о чем хорошем речь не идет, т.к. обычно эти пророчества сводятся к признакам надвигающегося краха. Примерно вот так:

The town residents could see the writing on the wall and realized that if they didn't combine efforts, those horrible crimes would continue.
Жители городка смогли правильно оценить обстановку и понять, что, если они не возьмутся за дело всем миром, страшные преступления будут продолжаться.

Но почему же все так зловеще? А потому, что были соответствующие прецеденты в истории.

В Ветхом Завете повествуется о том, как Валтасар, последний царь Вавилонский, пировал во дворце и при этом святотатственно наливал вино в ритуальные сосуды Иерусалимского храма. Внезапно на стене явились загадочные знаки. Пророк Даниил прочел их и истолковал как предсказание гибели Халдейского царства. В ту же ночь Валтасар был убит, поскольку, при всеобщем опьянении, город был оставлен без всякого надзора, ворота и русло реки оставались без должного присмотра и враги беспрепятственно вошли в город.

Так что же начертала таинственная рука на стене? Нет, не угадали: не предупреждение о вреде алкогольных напитков. Роковые слова были: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

MENE — God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.
TEKEL — you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.
PERES — your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.
(Daniel 5:25-28, New American Standard Bible)

Иными словами,
"мене" — исчислил Бог царство твое и положил конец ему;
"текел" — ты взвешен на весах и найден очень легким;
"упарсин" (иначе "перес") — разделено царство твое и дано Мидянам и Персам.
(Дан. 5:26, 28).

Вот так печально закончилась эта история. Остается только добавить, что речь идет о том самом Вавилоне, с которым связан другой поучительный случай — the confusion of Babylon, или просто the Babel. Да, именно тот случай, когда потомки небезызвестного Хама в гордыне своей решили построить "башню вышиною до небес", за что и были покараны Всевышним: Он смешал их языки так, что они перестали понимать друг друга и не в состоянии были продолжать возведение "столпа", а затем мало-помалу рассеялись по всей земле, оставив в назидание потомкам урок "вавилонского столпотворения".

Многим из вас наверняка приходится (или еще придется) общаться с носителями языка по телефону, будь то долг службы, выкрутасы фортуны, просьба о помощи или просто личные, так сказать, "замутки". Трудность в общении по телефону заключается в том, что вы не видите лица собеседника, не можете следить за движениями губ, отвлекаетесь на внешние раздражители, слышите только "в одно ухо" и только то, что линия связи соблаговолила туда доставить.

Сценарии, конечно, бывают разные, но и это еще не самый плохой, согласитесь. Хуже, когда даже при чистой линии и разговоре "в два уха" (с наушниками, например) ведешь беседу с "живым" бизнесменом, время которого — деньги, язык которого — родной английский, а иностранные языки — на уровне "yeah, heard about them". Эти люди почему-то частенько склонны считать, что разговор с иностранцами ничем не отличается от разговора с соотечественниками и можно тараторить, глотать звуки, бубнить и использовать выражения, у которых мало шансов прибыть по месту назначения (то есть быть понятыми вами).

Пожалуй, перейдем от запугивания к практическим советам. :-)

В самом начале разговора попросите собеседника говорить внятно и с человеческой скоростью. Прямо так и скажите: я, мол, пльохо каварит по-английски, "будьте добры, поме-е-едленнее, я записую". Если вам нельзя бросать тень на свою репутацию переводчика или специалиста по международным отношениям, придумайте "отмазку": плохо слышно, линия связи "того", вы находитесь в метро, драка в офисе, дожди на Майорке...

Говорите с акцентом, даже если его у вас нет. Это будет постоянно напоминать собеседнику, что на другом конце линии — иностранец.

Записывая важную информацию, повторяйте вслух каждое слово, а то и букву. Имена, телефонные номера, адреса электронной почты, явки, пароли — все, что вы записываете для себя или для "передачи дальше", повторяйте вслух. Это не только даст возможность вашему собеседнику поправить вас, если вы что-то не так поняли, но и заставит его говорить медленнее.

Не говорите "да, я понял", если вы не поняли. На этих санях далеко не уедешь. Переспрашивайте собеседника до тех пор, пока действительно не поймете, о чем идет речь. Если с повторами не получается, попросите его по-другому сформулировать предложение. Еще раз напомните о том, что вы "не есть евонный сосед" и что вы "плохо каварит". На всякий случай перескажите собеседнику своими словами то, что вы поняли из его речи.

Крайняя мера: начните говорить на своем родном языке! Вероятность того, что вам ответят на том же языке, ничтожно мала, но такой подход действует как ушат холодной воды: человек, как правило, начинает осознавать свое везение в том, что с ним пытаются разговаривать именно на его языке. Но учтите: это крайняя мера, причем довольно невежливая! Она может легко обернуться хамской выходкой, поэтому выбирайте выражения, ситуацию и собеседника.

Ну а если вы с вышеописанными проблемами не сталкивались и к указанным методам не прибегали, то либо вам везло, либо у вас нет телефона, либо вы всегда были на другом конце провода! ;-)

Whiskey и whisky - один и тот же напиток. Только первый вариант написания используется для американского и ирландского виски, а второй - для канадского и шотландского. Шотландское виски обязано своим необычным "ароматом дымка" особенностям технологии изготовления. Ячменный солод, используемый в качестве сырья, подвергается дымовой сушке - топливом служит торф.
Бурбон назван так по названию округа в американском штате Кентукки, где этот напиток производился с 1789 года. В настоящее время в округе Бурбон бурбон не производят.
Терновый джин (sloe gin) - не джин, а ликёр, приготовленный на основе ягод терновника.
Первые колонисты в Новой Англии зимой зачастую выставляли за дверь бочки сидра. Вода вымерзала, содержание спирта в напитке увеличивалось.
В уэльском (валлийском) языке пиво обозначается словом "cwrw". Произносится оно как [ку-ру].
В британском флоте с 1651 по 1970 год каждому моряку ежедневно выдавалась порция рома.

Господи, чему нас только не учили в школе! Вот несколько потрясающих фраз из советских учебников английского языка для школ с углубленным изучением английского же. В целях избежания недоразумений в толковании фраз, снабжаю их тем вариантом перевода, который и предполагался авторами учебников.
Thе sun is rising, thе соскs аrе uр (Светает, петухи уже проснулись).
Lеnin wаs а gау аnd lоvеlу bоу (Ленин был весёлым, симпатичным мальчиком).
Mу nаmе is Susаn. Mу sistеr's nаmе is Аnn. Wе hаvе а рussу. I liке tо рlау with рussу. Аnn liкеs tо рlау with рussу, tоо. (Меня зовут Сьюзан. Мою сестру зовут Энн. У нас есть котёнок. Я люблю играть с котёнком. Энн тоже любит играть с котёнком).
А теперь, собственно, коротенькая такая история. Учительница английского языка, (из тех, кто по таким учебникам преподавала и не морщилась), каким-то чудом едет на три недели в США. На дворе год 197... какой-то.
Возвращается, и на родительском собрании говорит:
- Да американцы СОВЕРШЕННО не знают английского языка!!!!!
На что одна преданная мамаша, глядя ей в глаза взглядом ньюфаундленда, восклицает:
- Как нам повезло, Наталья Ивановна, что у нас есть ВЫ!!!

"Ice" - это "лёд". Соответственно, "ice-box" - "холодильник" или "ледник". Но, кроме того, англичане "ice" именуют бриллианты. А "iceman" - ни в коем случае не "ледяной человек". Слово это обозначает полярника, альпиниста, то есть того, кто путешествует по льдам. В сленге "ice-man" – это человек, который ворует бриллианты. Глагол же "ice" опять-таки в сленге значит "убивать".

У человека русского лимон ассоциируется с кислым. У американцев же и англичан ассоциаций, связанных с лимоном, намного больше. Так, в сленге под "lemon" имеется ввиду поломка какого-либо механизма: "My car is a lemon".
"Лимоном" ещё называют "ненужную вещь", "барахло", "хлам", "бракованную продукцию". Так, озабоченный предприниматель может сказать такие слова: "I have got to move that lemon." (Мне надо сбыть этот хлам). И кому же продать этот "лимон"? Да тоже "лимону" и продать, ведь "лимоном" ещё называют "простофилю", "неудачника". А идиома "hand a lemon" значит "надуть", "обмануть кого-либо". "He wouldn't hand me a lemon" – "Он обязательно меня надует".
Лимоном англичане именуют и "дурака", "придурка". "Tell that lemon to lay off pounding on the piano". А экономисты, говорят "lemon", имея ввиду "вложение денег или покупку, не оправдавшие ожиданий". Этот кислый фрукт американцы и англичане не любят, потому и идиомы с участием этого слова чрезвычайно негативные.

В английском языке существительное "рыба" играет важную роль в образовании разного рода хороших и не очень хороших сочетаний. Судите сами...

During the Vietnam War, it was mistakenly labeled to the Vietnamese people who also have a similar word “han quc” which means country. Popularized to include any `Mongoloid' Asian after its widespread use during the War. Like chink, extremely offensive.

While the word is used over 550 times in the Hebrew Bible referring to both the Israelites and non-Israelites, it can be used as an insult. When applied by Jews to other Jews in modern times, it is almost always derogatory and implies either non-compliance with Jewish law or behavior inconsistent with traditional Judaism. "Goj" (plural "Gojiem") is also the accepted Dutch word for a non-Jew.
Goyisher kopf

Black Irish
(UK Commonwealth & U.S.) an Irish person with dark features. While the term is largely inoffensive, the distinction between fair and swarthy Irish people is historically baseless and fundamentally racist. Black Irish often are considered to be of poor ancestry (labourers and such, rather than aristocratic blood.) These darker features are often attributable to ancient Hamitic and Iberian ancestors present in the ancient British Isles. The Fomorians, believed to have sailed up the Atlantic seaboard from Africa and Iberia, were aboriginal Hamitic peoples.[17]
Bloke
(Quйbec) an anglophone thought to be of British ancestry (including Canadians, Americans, Australians, New Zealanders, etc.) or perceived as identifying culturally to or having been assimilated into the English culture.

From the 1870s until the 1920s, the word Ab was used instead.[citation needed] Although "Abo" is still considered quite offensive by many, the pejorative "boong" is now more commonly used when the intent is to deliberately offend , as that word's status as an insult is unequivocal.

битуси. Отдаешь пустую бутылку бомжу - это ситуси. Бомж сдает бутылку
в пункт приема стеклотары - ситуби.
ТРЕНИНГ
Очевидно, что этимология слова "тренинг" восходит к русскому глаголу
"трындеть".
ТЕНДЕНЦИЯ И ТРЕНД
Слово "тенденция" обычно используется в негативном контексте. Тренд,
напротив, почти всегда позитивен.
ПРОЕКТ
Прелесть любого проекта в том, что ему не предшествует проектирование.
Наоборот - проект сначала возникает, а потом для него уже составляется
план.
ПУЛ
Очень цивилизованное слово. Удачно заменяет собой слова из мрачных
времен царизма и социализма - "камарилья", "свита", "когорта".
ПОЗИЦИОНИРОВАТЬ
Синоним выражения "выдавать желаемое за действительное".
СОЛИДНЫЙ
Если у вас действительно солидный бизнес, то об этом не надо
рассказывать в пресс-релизах, все и так об этом знают. Поэтому обычно
слово "солидный" является подретушированной версией таких выражений,
как "никому не известный", "пожадничавший денег на рекламу".
ЭЛИТНЫЙ/ЭКСКЛЮЗИВНЫЙ/ПРЕМИУМ
Все эти слова устарели сразу же, как только вошли в обиход. Поэтому
приходится помнить, что "премиум" - это покруче, чем затасканный
"эксклюзивный", а "элитной" теперь бывает даже туалетная бумага.
ОПЦИЯ
Гораздо лучше чем просто "вариант" или "возможность". "Вариант" может
оказаться "нерабочим", "возможность" сродни "вероятности", а вот
"опция" - это дело верное.
БРЕНД
Само слово "бренд" в определенном смысле является брендом: никто до
конца не знает, что оно обозначает, но все ощущают его крутизну и
активно занимаются брендингом.
ПОДВИЖКИ
Обычно употребляется в тех случаях, когда результата деятельности нет
и, скорее всего, не предвидится, но настала пора рапортовать
начальству о проделанной работе.
ПРЕЗЕНТОВАТЬ
При словах "Мы счастливы презентовать вам новый кабриолет с
трехлитровым двигателем" не спешите видеть себя за рулем этого
царского подарка. Его не дарят, а показывают. К сожалению, глагол
"презентовать" не имеет ни малейшего отношения к существительному
"презент".
БОНУС/БОНУСИРОВАТЬ
Практически то же самое, что и "бис"/"бисировать", только овации
заменяются на ассигнации.
ИДЕНТИЧНОСТЬ
До недавнего времени слово идентичность означало "одинаковость",
"похожесть". Теперь оно значит еще и "уникальность", "непохожесть".
Редкий случай, когда два значения одного и того же слова оказываются
полноценными антонимами.
ОПТИМИЗАЦИЯ
Уволить как можно больше стафа, оставшимся пролонгировать рабочий
день, но перестать поить халявными чаем и кофе. Заменить в офисных
сортирах туалетную бумагу на более дешевую, выдавать дыроколы и
скрепки только по письменному реквесту, который обязательно должен
быть заапрувлен у офис-менеджера.
ВЕНЧУРНЫЙ ПРОЕКТ
Предприятие, заведомо обреченное на провал, но "давайте все-таки
попробуем: если повезет - озолотимся!"
КРЕАТИВ
Попадают три кота в кошачий приют. Первый - кот священника, второй -
архитектора, третий - креативного директора. Дают им каждому по миске
с "Китекэтом". Кот священника вываливает миску на пол, раскладывает
корм крестом, молится, съедает корм и тихонько ложится спать
довольный. Кот архитектора также высыпает корм, раскладывает из него
архитектурный план, долго что-то двигает, думает, меняет детали
местами, наконец, удовлетворенно съедает всё и чинно ложится спать.
Кот креативного директора высыпает еду на пол, напряженно смотрит на
нее, начинает неистово долбить корм миской, раздалбывает его в пыль,
раскладывает из этой пыли три дорожки, вынюхивает их, трахает первых
двух котов, падает на спину и, колошматя лапами по полу, в истерике
орет: "Сволочи! Я не могу работать в таких условиях!!!"
ОТЪЕХАТЬ
Глагол "отъехать" перестал употребляться в значении "употребить
наркотик, получить кайф". Сегодня употребляется исключительно в
значении "вышестоящее лицо по неотложным делам покинуло место
дислокации, обычное для него в это время суток. Но обещало вернуться
вскорости, чему, впрочем, особой веры нет, хотя этого я вам не
говорил, а вы сами догадались".
СТАФ
Вообще-то слово staff должно произноситься как "стэф". Но в России его
упорно произносят как "стаф", чем недвусмысленно намекают, что особой
разницы между словами "staff" ("персонал, штат сотрудников") и "stuff"
("материал, вещество", а также "чушь, дрянь, хлам") вообще-то нет.
ВОТЭВА
Если ты не можешь подобрать слова, если не знаешь чем закончить спич,
если от злости и удивления слов вообще не осталось, всегда выручит
старое доброе whatever - как бы то ни было, что бы то ни было.
Универсальный ответ на все вопросы, в нем одновременно есть все и
ничего. Из слов-паразитов также важно "бла бла бла..." - звуковой
аналог многоточия в предложении.
ЧЕЛЛЕНДЖ
Объяснить, что такое челлендж, для многих - непосильный челлендж. Все
непосильное - это он и есть: для солдата - стать генералом, для
обезьяны - человеком, для отечественного автопрома - построить
автомобиль.

Распространение английского языка в глобальном масштабе начинает
представлять собой реальную угрозу для конкурентоспособности
британских специалистов в современном мире. С приближением числа
людей, владеющих английским языком, к двум миллиардам традиционное
лингвистическое преимущество жителей Соединенного Королевства сходит
на нет. Более того, иностранцы, изучившие язык международного общения,
находятся в более выгодном положении по сравнению с британцами, так
как способны общаться уже на двух языках - своем родном и английском.
В отличие от иностранцев жители Великобритании с сомнением относятся к
необходимости учить чужие языки, полагая, что при помощи своего
родного они без особого труда смогут объясниться практически в любой
стране мира.
Количество слов в современном английском языке увеличилось за
последнюю тысячу лет примерно в двадцать раз. Шекспир использовал в
своих произведениях от 20 до 24 тысяч слов, 1700 из которых придумал
сам. Более пятидесяти шекспировских неологизмов используются до сих
пор.

Знак @ является центральным понятием интернет-культуры уже тридцать
пять лет. В 1972 году некто Ray Tomlinson выбрал этот знак в качестве
разделителя в названии адресов электронной почты.
Использование знака @ в бизнесе и деловой сфере уходит корнями в конец
средневековья. В те времена этот знак обозначал либо единицу веса,
либо единицу объема, соответствующие одной амфоре (емкость одной
амфоры была 0,01 кубометра - тринадцатая часть барреля, который равен
0,159 кубометра, то есть где-то 10-15 литров). Амфора обозначалась
знаком "А" (amphora), изображавшегося несколько своеобразно. Благодаря
некоторым украшением он был похож на знак @.
Считалось, что этот знак является сокращением латинского слова "ad",
обозначавшим "к", "по направлению к", "у". При быстром письме верхняя
палочка от латинской "d" заворачивалась налево
Но откуда бы ни возник этот знак, довольно скоро в Северной Европе он
приобрел то значение, в котором долгое время и употреблялся - "по
цене..." (at the price of). Символ использовался в счетах для указания
на стоимость единицы товара, например: "3 yds of lace @ 1/4d a yd" -
"3 ярда кружев по цене 1/4 шиллинга за ярд".
Так как символ стал официально использоваться в деловой сфере, он
очень быстро появился на печатных машинках. Уже с 1880 года его можно
увидеть на клавиатуре многих печатных машинок. На машинках более
ранних годов этого знака нет, вместо него есть лишь знак "и" - "&",
который по-английски называется ampersand. С клавиатур этот знак
проник в сетевую сферу и все остальные письменности (арабская,
японская etc) вынуждены были принять этот знак и ввести в свои
клавиатуры. В 2004 году Международный союз электросвязи для удобства
передачи адресов электронной почты ввел в азбуку Морзе код,
обозначающий символ "@".
Со временем появился единый список названий символа @ в различных
языках. Многие заимствовали английское название "commercial at", "at".
Примечательно и то, что почти в любом языке у этого знака есть
разговорное название, которое так или иначе связано либо с едой, либо
с животными.
Разговорные названия в английском языке - whirlpool или fetch, однако
они редко употребляются. В английский язык проникла также пара
иностранных названий: сравнительно редко, но все же употребляется
snail, и что удивительно - это датское название snabel. Несмотря на
все названия, первое место по употребительности в английском языке
занимает все же "at", который, скорее всего, и останется как
официальным, так и неофициальным названием.

OK - самое известное слово на пяти континентах, своего рода
международный паспорт, происходит не от Oberst Kommandant, не он галет
Orrin Kendall времен гражданской войны в Соединенных Штатах и даже не
от телеграфного языка.
Американец из Миннесоты, профессор английского в Columbia University,
Allen Walker Reed решил научно доказать американское происхождение
этого термина. За свою долгую жизнь в науке Аллен выяснил
происхождение многих слов, прежде всего - относящихся к American
English. В ходе исследований, связанных со знаменитым слогом, он
изучил 12 различных версий.
В действительности, впервые это слово появилось в сатирической статье
о плохой орфографии, опубликованной в газете Boston Morning Post в
1839 году, как акроним Oll Korrect (а не all correct). В 1840 году оно
использовалось как инициалы Old Kinderhook, псевдоним Мартина Ван
Бурена, восьмого президента США. В призывах к его так и
несостоявшемуся переизбранию его сторонники писали: "Голосуйте за
ОК!". Другие исследователи американской истории отмечают, что ОК может
иметь более древнее происхождение, чем его появление в Boston Morning
Post. Оно может принадлежать американским индейцам, использовавшим
термин "okeh" как утвердительный ответ на вопрос.
