Конструкция безличных предложений



Безличные предложения в английском языке (impersonal sentences) – это такие предложения, в которых нет главного действующего лица. Давайте рассмотрим это на примере.

Безличные предложения мы используем:

Для описания погоды и явлений природы. Например: Холодно. Темно.

Для обозначения времени, даты, дня недели и т.д. Например: 6 часов. Понедельник.

Для обозначения расстояния. Например: Далеко. Близко.

Для выражения мнения говорящего. Например: Весело. Трудно.

Чтобы построить такие предложения на английском, нужно использовать конструкцию it is. Давайте рассмотрим её подробно.

Такие предложения образуются очень просто: с помощью местоимения it и глагола to be в нужном времени. Схема предложения: It + глагол to be + другие члены предложения. It не указывает лицо и не переводится на русский язык, но в образовании предложения берет на себя роль главного действующего лица. Глагол to be – особый вид глагола. Его мы используем, когда говорим, что кто-то: Находится где-то (Он в парке) Является кем-то (Она медсестра) Является каким-то (Кот серый)

В зависимости от времени, в котором мы используем этот глагол, в сочетании с местоимением it он меняет свою форму: В настоящем времени Present Simple – It is… = It’s…. Примеры: It is hot. Жарко. It is 5 o’clock. 5 часов. В прошедшем времени Past Simple – It was… Примеры: It was dark. Было темно. It was easy. Было легко. В будущем времени Future Simple – It will be… Примеры: It will be difficult. Будет сложно. It will be fun. Будет весело.

Мы используем безличное предложение, чтобы сказать который час: Сейчас 11 часов – it is 11 o’clock now Времени было половина пятого – it was half past 4 Когда я вернусь, будет уже 10 часов – when I return it will be 10 o’clock already Безличные предложения всегда используются для описания погоды с глаголами to rain, to snow, to hail, to drizzle Осенью часто идет дождь – It often rains in autumn Моросит, нужно взять зонт – It is drizzling, I must take an umbrella Чтобы отметить, сколько времени нам требуется на совершение действия – наверное вам встречались предложения, начинающиеся со слов «мне нужно … времени чтобы что-то сделать, у меня уходит… времени на что-то и т.д.». Так вот, для перевода таких предложений также используется конструкция безличного предложения — It takes … to…: Ей нужен час на дорогу до работы – It takes her an hour to get to her work Моей маме потребуется полдня чтобы испечь столько пирожных – It will take my mother half a day to bake so many cakes. Безличное предложение часто используется для описания действий, для которых нужен инфинитив, в которых фигурируют такие слова как never, to appear, to seem, to turn out, to happen It is never late to say “excuse me” – Никогда не поздно сказать «прости» It seemed to be late to change anything – Казалось, уже поздно что-либо менять Безличное предложение используется для выражения модальности с глаголами can, may, must. В этом случае формальным подлежащим является слово one, которое при переводе на русский язык опускается. Здесь нельзя курить – One must not smoke here Нужно мыть руки перед едой – One should wash hands before having meals Невозможно сделать всю работу сразу – One cannot do all the work at once.

Задание 6. Переведите текст

 

On a daily basis we used to use various means of transport to get from one place to another one: trams, cars, buses, planes, underground and other transportation means.

In times gone by, people had to go from one city to another for weeks and even months to get to the destination place, because they used horses, boats or their own feet to travel. Nowadays everything is changed and men cross the country or waters in some hours.

The most rapid mean of transport is travelling by plane. Other people prefer car, train or bus, because they are cheaper and it is possible to enjoy passing villages, forests and fields through windows.

Life in a big city makes people be depended on transport, especially if they live in the countryside. Sometimes people have to change two or more transportation means (metro, suburban train, bus, share taxi, tramway, etc.) to get to a workplace or come back home after hard working day. The choice of the transport facilities depends on many factors: a financial ability, the distance between workplace and home place, time, comfort and other things. Most people prefer to get a car, because today it helps to be a little more independent from public transport.

Transportation involves all actions that cause physical movement of products in space, from the place of origin to the designated place of receipt at the right time, intact and after previously agreed price. There are several main types of transport used in modern economy.

Road transport

Road transport (trucking) is the most common form of transport used in most logistics operations. A well-developed network of roads allows freight carriers to reach virtually any point, which leads to the fact that transport services can be provided for the benefit of almost everyone. Due to the low capital barrier to entry to road carriers market, there is a very large number of companies providing this type service in this branch of transport.

Rail transport

Rail transport - this type of transport services are provided by a small number of large businesses (usually large portion of shares in this companies are held by the State). There is a large barrier to entry (high cost of investment in terminals, equipment and traction). The railway deals mainly with the movement of large quantities of (relatively cheap) goods over long distances (wood products, mining, agricultural products). The biggest disadvantage of rail transport is the low availability and long transit times of goods.

Water transport

Water transport - is one of the most important factors of economic development. Along large rivers it caused large cities to form over many years of economic history. By using this mode of transport low value and high content goods are transported over long distances. Also they can be easily reloaded by mechanical devices. One barge can carry about 1500 tons of cargo. Big advantages of water transport are low cost. One of the largest drawbacks are long time of carriage, as well as limited availability of space.

Air transport

In air transport the majority of income is generated from passenger transport, freight transport is still under development. The main advantage of this mode of transport compared to others is the short transportation time. The disadvantages include high cost and limited availability, which often forces companies to use of road transport services.

Pipeline transportation

Pipeline transportation - refers to the oil pipeline and not to gas pipelines. It is used most commonly to the movement of liquid petroleum products. Pipeline availability is limited, forcing the use of other means of transport (rail, road or water). Is very slow but is not disturbed by the weather conditions. It is characterized by low cost of transportation.

Comparison of passenger transport modes

Transport mode Advantages Disadvantages Summary
Aviation · The fastest way of transport on long routes, · High level of safety, despite a widespread sense, · All things considered, it is cheaper than other means on long routes · No infrastructure between airports is required (navigation stations are obsoleted by GPS systems) · High price, · Airports are away of focus points, which requires changing transport modes, · Long time of preparation (check-in, security, waiting), · Baggage handling extends time of travel, · Fear of customers of the travel by plane, · High requirements for personnel expertise · Very sensitive to weather conditions Number of passengers increases each year. However the cost of travel don't decrease due to new requirements regarding security. This limits effect of scale to only large airlines. Customers require high standards of services, which increases also costs of airports maintenance. The air transport has no competence in quick long range travelling.
Railway · Increasing average speed of modern trains · High comfort of modern trains · Average costs of train maintenance · Medium requirements for personnel expertise · Extensive net of rail tracks in most countries · Easy increase of train capacity · Lower impact on environment · Modern trains are only few percent of railway transport · Costs of rail tracks maintenance · Long time of travel (excerpt for modern trains) Modern trains become a competition to aviation on short and medium routes. They usually arrive to city centres and don't require extensive security procedures. Therefore, even that transport time is longer, the whole travel can be quicker. The trains are much less sensitive to weather conditions which increases reliability.
