TEXT A What is agriculture? Agriculture is a Human activity in which people use areas of land for the production of food, clothing and other necessary materials. It is the fundamental occupation on which industry and commerce depend. Without agriculture no civilisation can develop. The word “Ager” is a Latin word. It means a field. The word Agriculture means the cultivation of fields and growing crops. But this is the old meaning of the word. Now it also means the use of land for breeding animals. At present there are two main branches of agriculture. They are: crop growing or crop production and animal breeding or animal husbandry. Agriculture is the combination of science, art and business. A good farmer must know and apply scientific principles in agriculture; he must also be a good businessman. He may learn to be a good farmer by imitation; but if he understands scientific principles he is able to adapt his practice to new and changing conditions. Farm practice requires some knowledge of botany, chemistry, physics, zoology, bacteriology, plant and diseases, geology and meteorology. The soil is the basis of agriculture. Enough food for all the people can be obtained by growing high crops yield. There are two ways to grow enough food. There is an increase in area of arable land and the intensification of production in the areas already used for cropping. The intensification of agricultural areas is based on the knowledge of climate, soils and the use of a large collection of high-yielding varieties and hybrids of agricultural crops. All intensification factors such as full mechanisation, high application of fertilizers and extensive use of herbicides must be used in such a way as not to disturb the biological equilibrium of the soil.

Make up “Summary” (краткое изложение) of Text A. Exercise 9. Represent the text orally. Exercise 10. Read Text В, interpret it, pay attention to the notes. TEXT B Agriculture is a business. In planning what to produce, the farmer relies upon the market. There are problems, connected with grading, packing, storage and shipment, buying and selling. Agriculture is also a biological industry. It is dependent on weather, soils and living things. No one can grow a horse in a year, but almost unlimited horsepower can be added in the engines of factory in a year. Persons who are accustomed to mechanical industries sometimes fail to understand farming. Farming is a partnership with nature. There was a time when most industries were connected with the home. Cloth, candles, soap were made in the home, and the children helped with the work. Nowadays agriculture continues to be home industry. The farmer and his family do most of their work themselves. The hours of work cannot be standardised. On some days it is necessary to do a very long and a very hard day’s work; on other days less work is required.

Agriculture is a continuous game in which the farmer must change his plans on minute’s notice to meet the changes that nature makes. Farming is one of the few occupations in which the business and the home are united. Notes: (after G.F. Warren. Elements...): Farming – сельское хозяйство (Америк.); to rely upon – полагаться; grading – сортировка; packing – упаковка; storage – хранение; horsepower – мощность, измеряемая в лошадиных силах; partnership – партнёрство; to meet the changes – соответствовать изменениям.

Exercise 11. Will you speak out in English on the following (if you find this task difficult you may use Russian language). а) Можно ли фермера назвать бизнесменом? Почему? б) От каких факторов зависит уровень развития сельского хозяйства?

TEXT A Soil As it was mentioned before, soil is the basis of agriculture. And lucky the farmer is who has a fertile soil! But what do you know about soil as an agricultural term? Are the words soil, land, ground, earth synonyms? Let’s see! Soil is formed partly by the breaking up of rocks. It is created by the rotting of plant and animal material with the help of water, wind, air, temperature changes and tiny soil organisms. So the five major factors in soil formation are climate, living organisms, parent rocks, topography and time. The structure of the soil can be seen in its profile, in the layers of differing colours, textures and depths. A typical profile may be found on a bank along a stream or in a deep roadway cut. These strata are called horizons and a mature soil normally has A, B, C horizons. The A horizon is the covering layer. It may be also called the surface soil, or top soil or plow layer. The A horizon is the next layer down. This is so called subsoil where the roots of large plants usually grow. In mature soils the A and B horizon are called the solum. Beneath the solum we have the C horizon. In mature soils C horizon is the basis or parent material from which the solum has usually been formed. When we speak of an ABC soil, we mean a mature soil or one having three well-defined horizons. The A contains organic matter, C layer may have little or none. There are five major soil types. These groups are result of differences in vegetative growth. Among the important soil types are the 11

chernozemic soils, which are found in subhumid and temperate zones where grass originally covers the surface of the soil. Desertic soils sparsely covered with shrubs and grass – in arid region of tropical and temperate zones. Latosolic soils are found in areas covered with forests and exist both in tropical and subtropical zones. Padzolic soils are found in most forest areas of cool or temperate climate. Tundra soils are found in the arctic regions. Exercise 2. Will you find in Text A and read it out: а) how the soil is formed; б) what the five major factors in soil formation are; в) where the structure of the soil is seen; г) how surface soil or covering layer is called; д) in what layer the roots of plants grow; е) how the A and B horizons are called. ж) what the major soil types are. Exercise 3. Name the synonyms from the left and the right word lists soil topsoil organic matter living thing surface horizon humid arid strata

A: – Thank you very much, you have prepared well enough to get an excellent mark today. B: –…….. Exercise 7. Determine the function of -ed verb form and translate the sentences. 1. Grain crops produced in our region are wheat and barley. 2. Fertilisers are used to increase soil fertility. 3. Proper moisture in the soil should be provided for all farm crops. 4. Rainfall, sunlight and nutrients are the factors required by plants for their proper growth. 5. All farm machinery is subjected to tests in order to meet up-todate requirements of producers. 6. Our Farm Machinery has just conducted testing of new design of airseeder produced in Germany. 7. This rotation plan was developed to meet the farm needs. Note: airseeder – пневматическая сеялка. Exercise 8. Read Text В and tell what kind of farming activity effects environment. Pay attention to the notes. TEXT B Agriculture and the quality of our environment There are four main ways in which agriculture affects our environment. The first way is soil erosion. It is a natural process but it can be because of farming is used. The second way is wastes of intensive keeping of livestock and poultry. These wastes pollute waterways. The third way is improper use of fertilizers. And the last way of agricultural pollution of the environment is the use of different chemicals such as pesticides, insecticides, herbicides and others. The chemicals affect both the soil and air. They also affect and pollute the ground. But soil is one of our main resources which is almost not recyclable. So the farmers always should take care of the soil while cultivating it or utilising for grazing. Notes: wastes – отходы;

14

TEXT A Agribusiness For the first 300 years, farming in USA employed 90 percent of population and food required 60 cents of every dollar earned. The majority of exports were agricultural products with civilization being dependent on the agrarian economy. Through time the US agricultural system has continued to produce an increase of food and raw materials, using relatively fewer resources. This increase in production has resulted in a greater choice of nutritious foods for a smaller percentage of the income. Today’s agriculture is a complex system that reaches far beyond the farm. Besides the farmer, it includes everyone involved in bringing food and raw materials to the consumer. Agriculture takes in:  Small family farms;  Large corporate organizations;  Credit and input supply firms;  Output marketing and processing firms;  Transportation networks;  Wholesalers;  Restaurants;  Food and fiber retailers. Since the late 1940s, agriculture has undergone many changes as operations extended and became more specialized. As farm size grew, farmers found it more profitable to concentrate on farming and purchase inputs they formerly produced themselves. This trend enabled others to create businesses that concentrated on providing these input needs for items such as pesticides, fencing, machinery, fertilizer, and the like. These firms, referred to the farm input sector, and are now a major factor in agriculture. At the same time, other business involved in moving farm products from producer to the consumer began to prosper. During the post-war

17

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

period many of these firms expanded from local or regional operations to serve national and international markets. They continued to meet the consumers demand for greater processing of food. These firms constitute the third major part of agriculture called the farm output or product marketing sector. The term agriculture needed expanding to correctly define this three-part system. The term agribusiness better describes the combination of the farm input sector, the production farming sector, and the product marketing. Exercise 2. Find in Text A where it is said about the following. а) Современное сельское хозяйство представляет собой сложную систему, включающую не только фермера. б) Что представляет собой сектор агробизнеса, называемый “Farm input”? в) Что представляет собой сектор агробизнеса, называемый “Product marketing”? Exercise 3. Analyze the words, share all the words given below under three groups, each named according to the Table section. Fill in the form: a farmer, machinery, consumer, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer, fencing, wholesale, retail, family farm, banks, processing plants, transport, restaurants, seeds, market place, soil, final product, fuel, tractor, seeds, dairy plant, bakery, grain storage, vegetable store, wheat growing, gardening, green house, flower store, machinery spare parts, new combine, dairy plant, grain elevator.

Exercise 5. Give the answers to the questions according to Text A information. 1. How many sectors does agribusiness include? 2. What sector of agribusiness was created as the result of specialization? 3. What does “product marketing” as sector of agribusiness deal with? 4. What does the sector of agribusiness called Farm Input include? Exercise 6. Reproduce Text A not more than in 7 sentences in writing. Exercise 7. Prepare to retell briefly Text A. Exercise 8. Make translation of the sentences below from Russian into English. 1. Только 2% населения заняты в с/х, а большинство в промышленности (индустрии). 2.

12. Нагретый газ расширяется. Exercise 9. Read Text В and tell what factors of farming may effect the environment. Pay attention to the notes. TEXT B Agriculture and environment Agriculture and environment are closely connected with each other. Crop yields and animal productivity depend on soil and climatic conditions of the region in which they are grown. When environmental conditions are favorable, crops grow and develop well and produce high yields. At present agriculture is not so dependent on the environment as in the past. Man can improve the conditions under which crops are grown. The conditions can be improved by using irrigation and drainage, by applying fertilizers and different chemicals such as herbicides and insecticides and by some intensive practices. The environmental factors do not only affect agriculture, but they are also affected by the agriculture activity. Mineral fertilizes and chemicals used by farmers are accumulated in the soil and in plants and may become harmful for people. Thus, the farmers have to solve two problems. On the one hand they are to improve and intensify agricultural production and on the other hand they are to minimize the effect of agriculture on the environment. Notes: practice(зд.) – метод; to affect отрицательно влиять; on the one hand с одной стороны; on the other hand с другой стороны; to minimize снижать.

TEXT A Agricultural engineering Agricultural engineering means the application of engineering knowledge to agriculture. The biological factor is an important one in engineering applications and the engineer must know well the basic principles and practices of agriculture. Engineers in Mechanical Engineering design test, build and operate machinery of all types: they also work on a variety of manufactured goods and certain kinds of structures. The field is divided into machinery, mechanisms, materials, hydraulics, work and energy, heating, ventilating, air controlling and etc. Changes in cultural practices often need to make a machine more adaptable to the farm use or to increase its effectiveness processing equipment may also need changes, crop harvesting may sometimes be reduced by the use of an improper machine. Most field operations are seasonable in nature often with only a short period of time in which the job is done. Therefore field machinery in many cases has a low annual duty (i.e. very few hours of operations per year). The field of farm machinery design gives greater opportunity to an engineer than any other field of engineering. Farm machines must work where the temperature may be above 100F or where it falls below freezing. They must be able to work in rain and in snow as well. Instead of resting on the floor, they must operate over any kind of land. They must also be designed to handle wide variations in crop and soil conditions. Not only agricultural engineering in the field of mechanisation, agricultural engineers capable of designing, operating, controlling and adapting any form of electric energy to farm needs are in the demand of modern agriculture. As it is known, electric power has become the main source of energy in agricultural production and its sphere of application is ever increasing. For example, it is a most reasonable source of mechanical power for some kinds of equipment such as electric motors which are very

24

suited for farm job because of their automatic control, land life, compact construction, ability to run in a cold or hot weather, etc. All kinds of equipment for handling milk such as milking machines, milk coolers, water heaters, feed spreaders, waterers, mills, grain driers, grinders, feed mixes are also operated by electricity. Exercise 2. Tell what text paragraphs perform the answers to the following questions. 1. How is equipment for handling milk operated? 2. Why are electric motors suitable for farm jobs? 3. Why are the electricians wanted in modern agriculture? 4. What is meant by Agricultural Engineering? 5. What is there specific about field operations? 6.

TEXT B Importance of machinery and energy in agriculture More and more machines are used on farms today replacing hand labour and increasing labour productivity. With machines and power available farmers not only can do more work and do it more economically, but they can do higher-quality work and the work may be finished in a shorter and more favorable time. Machines that are used for crop production include those that till the soil, plant the crops, perform various cultural practices during the growing season and harvesting crops. Many machines are known to be powered by tractors. Implements such as plows, cultivators and planters may be mounted on a tractor or they may be pulled by a tractor. However, an increasing number of farm machines are now selfpropelled. These machines are grain combine harvesters, cotton pickers, forage harvesters, potatoes – diggers and others. Machines that do not require a lot of mobility are usually powered with electric motors. Such machines include silage unloaders, livestock feeding equipment, watering machines and milking machines. Farm machines we use today are quite different from those the farmers used two or even one decade ago. The tractors, tractor ploughs were smaller and less productive. They could plant less acres per day than the machines do now. Exercise 9. Using information from Text A and B make up a list of machinery and equipment helpful on farms. Learn the names of those items. Exercise 10. Give the answers to the following questions. Text B should be helpful. 1. Do machines make labour more productive? 2. Can machines work in a shorter time? 3. What machines are mounted on a tractor? 4. What self-propelled machines do you know? 5. What energy are -farm- machines powered with ? 6. What do modern machines differ in?

Exercise 11. Scan the text below and say what machines this text informs you about. Use notes to understand the text. Before 1930 most corn was harvested by hand, one ear at a time . Today self-propelled pickers are standard equipment on Corn Belt farms and in many other parts of the USА. One person operating a tworow picker can harvest more corn per day than ten hand pickers. Although mechanical pickers are produced in a greater number every year. Much cotton is still picked by hand because many fields are too small or too rough for mechanical harvesting. Tea is also one of plants that is still harvested by hands. But cotton…….One – row cotton picker can harvest as much cotton per hour as 50 hand pickers. Notes: to harvest – убирать урожай; two-row – двурядный; ear – початок(кукурузный); at a time – одновременно; self-propelled – самоходный; Corn Belt – Корн Белт – район – крупнейший производитель кукурузы в США; picker – подборщик\уборочная машина; rough – неровный.

Electrical power has become universal thousands of applications of electricity such as lighting, electrochemistry and electrometallurgy are longstanding and unquestionable. Which the appearance of the electrical motor, power cables replaced transmission shafts, gear wheels, belts and pulleys in the 19 the century workshops. And in the labour saving appliances have become part of our everyday lives. Other devices are based on specific properties of electricity: electrostatics in the case of photocopying machine and electromagnetism in the case of radar and television. These applications have made electricity most widely used. The first industrial application was in the silver workshops in Paris. The generator – a new compact source of electricity – was also developed there. The generator replaced the batteries and other devices that had been used before. Electric lighting came into wide use at the end of the last century with the development of the electric lamp by Thomas Edison. Then the transformer, was invented, the first electric lines and networks were set up, dynamos and induction motors were designed. Since the beginning of the 20 the century the successful development of electricity has begun throughout the industrial world. The consumption of electricity has doubled every ten years. Today consumption of electricity per capita is an indicator of the state of development and economic health of a nation. Electricity has replaced other sources of energy as it has been, realized that it offers improved service and reduced cost. One of the greatest advantages of electricity is that it is clean, easily-regulated and generates no by-products. Applications of electricity and generates now cover all fields of human activity from house washing machines to the latest laser devices.

advantage in the production of hot water, in running a milking(dairy) plant, pumping water, preparing feeds, heating and ventilating buildings for housed stock and above all, correctly lighting these various operations. All these services can be provided by electricity at a cost which is lower than that of other fuel. Because of wind and weather it is not always possible to provide on the farm the devices used in the factory to improve working conditions. Electricity can be applied revolutionize the working environment and conditions in the farm building as well as in the field whenever possible. The storage of grain in the barn, the stock keeping under conditions of controlled environment and the storage of potatoes in buildings illustrate the point. Exercise 10.

Electricity, means, to save, to mechanize, to provide, to use, tool, advantage, low cost, energy, source, universal, power, to supply, machines. Exercise 15. Find in Text A and B the information about the advantageous features of electricity as a source of energy. Exercise 16. Study the text below to get the information about electric fencing application, interpret the text. Use notes to understand it well enough. You will know what electric fencing is used for and how it is made. The electric fence consists of a galvanized iron wire energized by of such low current that it is perfectly safe although capable of giving a shock to livestock. Electric fence units can have main supply and will energize some miles of wire. While the principle function of the electric fence is to confine cattle for controlled grazing it is becoming increasingly employed for other services such as the control of stock feeding from the face of silage clamps, the guidance of cattle from collecting yards to milking parlous (an electric “cow-dog or watch-dog” in fact) and the confinement of pigs and poultry in which case two or more wires are used. The fence wires are supported by insulator on driven or free standing posts and care must be taken to ensure that the wire is free from herbage through which current leakage could come. Notes: fence – изгородь, ограждение; a galvanized iron wire – гальванический железный провод; main supply – основной источник; confine – оградить; grazing – выпас (на пастбище); milking parlous – доильные залы; insulators – изолятор; poultry – домашняя птица; herbage – травяной покров; current leakage – утечка электрического тока.

TEXT A History of agricultural equipment development Until the nineteenth century Great Britain had no plants and factories producing farm implements. They were made by local craftsmen to the design of individual farmers. There were innumerable types of plows. One of the first men to set up a plow works was Robert Ransome, who made all-iron plows. Other implement works followed, manufacturing many farm tools and mechanisms that arose later in the century. This was a golden age of agricultural tools invention Then steam plowing through “oil-engined agricultural locomotive” appeared. 38

But even twenty years later the farm tractor was still little more than a slow moving stationary engine mounted together with the transmission on a heavy chassis. In 1917 the tractor powered by a high-speed multicylinder engine with no chassis appeared. It was lighter than any of earlier tractors and it is said to have been designed by Henry Ford I. It was widely criticized as being quite unsuited for agriculture. Nevertheless, since 1920 practically, every tractor that has come into mass production has imitated this design. Pneumatic tires made tractors more mobile both in going about the farm and for transport work. At present tractors, powered with a gasoline or diesel engine are widely used to draw and operate agricultural implements for ploughing, sowing, harvesting, moving and a large variety of other operations on the farm and in the field. Having a mighty pulling power a tractor can pass through any difficult ground. Wheeled or track layer tractors perform a wide range of tasks the track layer tractor being more powerful, able to pull or push very heavy loads. With today’s ploughs a tractor expands its power not only on tilling but also on overcoming the resistance of the soil to the movement of the plough through it. Between 1939 and 1945 tractors completely displaced horses in farming. The tractor has become “a maid of all work” able to operate economically in light work as well as heavy. The development of the low cost high speed diesel engine has been one of the very important achievements in the world.

TEXT A First Engines Do you know what the first engine was like? It was called the «water wheel». This was an ordinary wheel with blades fixed to it, and current of a river turned it. These first engines were used irrigating fields. Then a wind-powered engine was invented. This was a wheel, but a very small one. Long wide wooden blades were attached to it. The new engine was driven by the wind. Some of these one can still see in the country. Both of these, the water-and wind-operated engines are very economical. They do not need fuel in order to function. But they are dependent on the weather. Many years passed and people invented a new engine, one operated by steam. In a steam engine, there is a furnace and a boiler. The furnace is filled with wood or coal and then lit. The fire heats the water in the boiler and when it boils, it turns into steam which does some useful work. The more coal is put burning. The more steam there is the faster a train or a boat is moving. The steam engine drove all sorts of machines, for example steam ships and steam locomotives. Indeed, the very first aeroplane built by A.F. Mozhaisky also a steam engine. However, the steam engine had its disadvantages. It was too large and heavy, and needed to mach fuel. The imperfection of the steam engine led to the design of a new type. It was called the internal combustion engine, because its fuel ignites and burns inside, the engine itself and not in a furnace. It is smaller and lighter than a steam engine because it does not have a boiler. It is also more powerful, as it uses better – quality fuel: petrol or kerosene. The internal combustion engine is now used in cars, diesel locomotives and motor ships. But to enable airplanes to fly faster than the speed of sound another more powerful engine was needed. Eventually, one was

invented and it was given the name “jet engine.” The gases in it reach the temperature of over a thousand degrees. It is made of a very resistant metal so that it will not melt. Exercise 2.

Text B Tractor engines Like automobiles, tractors use internal-combustion engines. These ignite and burn their fuel inside the cylinder; and the heat thus produced is converted into useful power. But not all of the heat available in the fuel can be changed into useful power. Some is lost in the exhaust gases, some in the cooling water, and some in the power required to overcome friction of the engine parts. The portion of the heat that changed 49

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

into useful power determines the efficiency of the engine. Designers of tractor engines try to make this portion as large as possible; it means economy of operation. To make an engine an efficient heat converter, it is serviced by systems, each of which has a special function; they are the fuel system, the lubrication system, the ignition and electrical system and the cooling system. The care and maintenance of these systems are important. But cylinder is often called the heart of the engine. Within the cylinder the process of combustion takes place. Most tractor engines have four cylinders. Notes: heat thus produced – образованная таким образом теплота; to convert – превращать; to overcome friction – преодолевать трение; fuel system – топливная система; lubrication system – смазочная система; cooling system – система охлаждения.

Questions: What type of engine do tractors use? Why is the engine called internal combustion engine? In what part of an engine is fuel burnt? What determines the efficiency of the engine? What part of an engine is called the heart of the engine? How many cylinders have most of the tractor engines? Exercise 11.

 To know the capability of this tractor special test is conducted. Exercise 12. Here we have prepared an original article. It would be nice if you work with it. Your task is to understand the information important for the farmer-producer. If there is a need you may use a dictionary to understand it well enough. After reading and translating this text, write an essay telling briefly what key-facts should the farmer think first to make a choice of a tractor. It would be very nice of you to use phrases of Ex. 8 of Lesson 7. Farming With One Tractor Although few farms claim only one tractor in their machinery inventory, it is possible to choose, equip and schedule a single tractor to accomplish all of the field work on a farm. Even though most tractors have a flexible design suitable for a wide range of tasks, farmers often keep a variety of tractors on hand to accomplish specific tasks. Large tractors are most often used for primary and secondary tillage. A small tractor may be used for utility chores, mowing, and light hauling. Intermediate-sized tractors are often used for the widest range of tasks including some primary tillage, secondary tillage, planting, mowing and hauling. Equipment costs are a large part of the cost of Midwest row crop agriculture. Equipment costs account for about 20 percent of the total cost of production. Power equipment such as tractors and combines, are the most expensive items. Reducing the number of tractors can significantly reduce total equipment costs. Costs associated with an equipment set (the combination of tractors and related equipment used in a farming operation) include: labor, timeliness and ownership costs. Labor requirements are generally greater for smaller equipment sets. Small equipment sets may also delay field operations, resulting in timeliness costs such as reduced yield or crop quality. An optimum equipment set is a compromise between ownership costs and costs for labor and timeliness. Factors affecting tractor size and number. Farm size, availability of labor and custom services, crop selection, and cultural practices, such as choice of tillage system, all affect the selection of an optimum equipment set and, ultimately, the number of tractors necessary to farm. Although demand for tractor power generally increases with farm size, many commercial farms in Missouri could 51

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

operate efficiently with a single tractor. Abundant labor may permit owning a single tractor by allowing several operators to keep the machine running for extended periods of the day during high-demand times such as field preparation and planting. The availability of custom services or equipment rental may reduce the need for larger equipment or more extensive equipment sets. Reduced tillage systems have lowered the demand for total tractor power and time by reducing the number and type of field operations required to produce a crop. By replacing tillage with a burndown herbicide, one of two results can occur. Either the field preparation time is reduced, since the time required for herbicide application is less than for tillage; or the herbicide application is custom hired so that a tractor is not needed for that operation. (William W. Casady Department of Agricultural Engineering Raymond E. Massey Department of Agricultural Economics)

TEXT A History of a tractor The history of tractor development is really long. The first use of an internal combustion engine in a tractor in the United States goes back as far as 1890. Today tractor construction industry is highly developed in Russia, the USA, Great Britain and some other countries, a number of types of tractors being produced for doing various agricultural practices on soil and in the livestock barn, including wheeled and ones. In recent years the diesel engine has become the accepted power unit for all British tractors. The most important development is the increase of engine capacity. Wheeled tractors in the 100 horse-power (hp) class have been introduced by most of the British and other countries’ tractor manufacturers, and are increasingly used. Perfect examples here are John Deere 5310N, Lamborghini Campion 135, MF 6290 and Renault Ares 640RZ. But today a 200-300 hp tractor, like Fendt Farmer 300LS or John Deere 8850, is the main power source for large farm operations in agriculturally advanced countries. Most tractors employ two larger driving wheels at the rear and two smaller driven wheels at the front. But with the increase in engine power, four-wheel-drive ones have become common. Large tractors tend to be used for a limited range of operations, the chief being tillage, combined tillage and sowing and yield harvesting. Safety rules, designed for the protection of a tractor operator, require most new tractors to be fitted with safety cabs; and other rules are leading to the necessity for cabs to reduce the intensity of noise at the 55

driver’s ear. Drivers’ seats are also being improved to reduce injuries caused by excessive vibration. Most modern farm tractors are truly “all purpose”. Case Steiger 9390 and Valtra Valmet 8150 HiTech can operate a range of mounted, semi-mounted, and trailed implements and machines, and have hydraulic devices to provide easy and accurate control of the equipment from the tractor driver’s seat. Among the typical operations performed by the latest tractors there are plowing, cultivating, harrowing, sowing, harvesting and transporting agricultural crops, livestock and poultry feeds distribution, barn cleansing and others. Inefficient machinery management turns to be a considerable problem too. Say, data of the research conducted in 2000 show that a good share of farmers in America, having large tractors, only use them 400 hours per year or even less, while smaller tractors are long proved and recommended to be in use 1000 or more hours - and still doing good work. Farmers should not purchase larger tractors than they need, for heavier machines consume far more fuel which make them uneconomic. In addition, the area of land must be spacious enough in order to employ such tractors properly, which is not sometimes the case in the USA. It has now become normal practice to provide electric starting, lights and light-signaling. Other developments that have rapidly become common include such items as multi-speed gear-boxes, power take-off (PTO), lock differential, power steering and various devices for transferring weight from mounted implements to the tractor’s drive wheels.

Тext A Principle of Operation of the Four-Stroke Petrol Engine The internal combustion engine is called so because fuel is burned directly inside the engine itself. Most automobile engines work on a 4stroke cycle. A cycle is one complete sequence of 4 strokes of the piston in the cylinder. The operating cycle of the four-stroke petrol engine includes: inlet stroke (intake valve opens), compression stroke (both valves closed), power stroke (both valves closed), exhaust stroke (exhaust valve is opened). To describe the complete cycle, let's assume that the piston is at the top of the stroke (top dead center) and the inlet and the exhaust valves are closed. When the piston moves down the inlet valve opens to intake a charge of fuel into the cylinder. This is called the inlet (intake) stroke. On reaching the lowest position (bottom dead center) the piston begins to move upward into the closed upper part on the cylinder, the inlet valve is closed and the mixture is compressed by the rising piston. This is called the compression stroke. As the piston again reaches the top dead center the spark plugs ignite the mixture, both valves being closed during its combustion. 64

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

As a result of burning mixtures the gases expand and great pressure makes the piston move back down the cylinder. This stroke is called the power stroke. When the piston reaches the bottom of its stroke, the exhaust valve is opened, pressure is released, and the piston again rises. It lets the burnt gas flow through the exhaust valve into the atmosphere. This is called the exhaust stroke which completes the cycle. So the piston moves in the cylinder down (intake stroke), up (compression stroke), down (power stroke), up (exhaust stroke). The heat released by the fuel is transformed into work so that the reciprocating movement of the pistons is converted into rotary movement of a crankshaft by means of connecting rods.

The environment pollution makes scientists to invent the less polluting engines like for example electric generators for cars. Exercise 10. Read Text B (if needed use English-Russian dictionary) and say what new information you have found in the text. Text B Compression ratio The compression ratio is a single number that can be used to predict the performance of any engine, particularly piston engines (but can be used essentially on any internal-combustion engine). In a piston engine it is the ratio between the volume of the cylinder, when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, and the volume when the piston is at the top of its stroke. Picture a cylinder with the piston at the bottom of its stroke containing 1000 cc of air. When the piston has moved up to the top of its

69

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

stroke inside the cylinder, and the remaining volume inside the head or combustion chamber has been reduced to 100 cc, then the compression ratio would be proportionally described as 1000:100, or with fractional reduction, a 10:1 compression ratio. A high compression ratio is desirable because it allows an engine to extract more mechanical energy from a given mass of air-fuel mixture due to its higher thermal efficiency. Higher compression ratios will however make gasoline engines subject to engine knocking, also known as detonation and this can reduce an engine's efficiency or even physically damage it. Diesel engines on the other hand "knock" because they operate on the principle of compression ignition. Motorcycle racing engines can use compression ratios as high as 14:1, and it is not uncommon to find motorcycles with compression ratios above 12.0:1 designed for 86 or 87 octane fuel. Racing engines burning methanol and ethanol often exceed a CR of 15:1. In engines with a 'ping' or 'knock' sensor and an electronic control unit, the CR can be as high as 13:1 (2005 BMW K1200S) In a turbocharged or supercharged gasoline engine, the CR is customarily built at 9:1 or lower. In an auto-ignition diesel engine, the CR will customarily exceed 14:1. Ratios over 22:1 are common In 1981, Jaguar released a cylinder head that allowed up to 14:1 compression; but settled for 12.5:1 in production cars. Exercise 11. Answer the questions. 1. What is meant by a compression ratio? 2. Why is a high CR more desirable? 3. What may reduce engine’s efficiency? 4. How high is the CR in motorbikes? 5. How high is the CR in production cars? Exercise 12. Express the text briefly in writing but don’t forget to use the «Essay phrases and Report scheme» (Lesson 8). Exercise 13. Read the dialogue and tell what is discussed about.

Text A Tractor Construction: the chief parts A tractor of any kind is made up of the following principle parts, namely: (1) the frame, which is the foundation on and around which the tractor is built, (2) traction members, as the wheels and crawlers are called, (3) the power unit which includes the engine and all its auxiliary devices, that develop the power, (4) the transmission system which transmits the power of the engine to the drive wheels or crawlers by various clutches, gears, and shafts, (5) the steering gear by and through which the tractor is steered, and (6) the braking device for stopping the tractor. The Frame comes first. The frame is supported by wheels or crawlers, and it, in turn, carries the engine, transmission system and all the other numerous parts that go to make up the tractor. Frame must be sufficiently rigid so that all of the power units will remain fixed in their positions relative to each other. Axles. There are two axles used in tractors having four wheels, or where a single front non-drive wheel, or a single, rear, non-drive wheel is employed the stub journal it sets on may be considered as the equivalent of the axle. There are two kinds of tractor axles and there are the non-drive axle and the drive axle. Front suspension. The point that rests on the front axle, or front suspension as it is called, either a ball and socket suspension, a spring suspension, a swivel suspension, or a rigid suspension. To enable the tractor to travel easily over rough ground and to prevent the power units from being jarred out of alignment a three point suspension is used. A three point suspension means that the frame rests on three points. In tractor two of the points of suspension must rest on the rear axle near the hubs of the wheels and the third point of suspension rests on the middle of the front axle. 73

The Draw-Bar. The draw-bar is usually fixed to a cross brace on the frame, that sets in front of the rear axle and it should have a coil spring suspension to allow it to give a little and to absorb the shocks. The coupler end sets well back of the rear axle so that plows and other implements can be easily and quickly hitched to it. In some tractors the draw-bar is rigid, and in others it is pivoted to allow it to move from side to side, while in a few it is swiveled so that its height can be adjusted. The Traction Members of Tractors. There are three distinct kinds of traction members used on tractors and these are wheels, drums, and crawlers, endless track, tracklayers, or caterpillars, as this last type is variously called, and, lastly, there are diverse combinations of wheels and crawlers used. You have to know all parts of a tractor to drive it well.

The grain auger is used in agriculture to move grain from trucks and grain carts into grain storage bins (from where it is later removed by gravity chutes at the bottom). A grain auger may be powered by an electric motor; a tractor, through the power take-off; or sometimes an internal combustion engine mounted on the auger. The helical flighting rotates inside a long metal tube, moving the grain upwards. On the lower end, a hopper receives grain from the truck or grain cart. A chute on the upper end guides the grain into the destination location.

The modern grain auger of today's farming communities was invented by Peter Pakosh. His grain mover employed a screw-type auger with a minimum of moving parts, a totally new application for this specific use. An auger may also be used in agriculture or animal farming for digging post holes. Such an auger is called an earth auger. This kind of auger can be a manually turned, handheld device, or powered by an electric motor or internal-combustion engine, possibly attached to a tractor (being provided with power by the tractor engine's power takeoff as shown). It is a truck that moves. Exercise 11. Give Russian equivalents to the following words from Text B.

Text A Car Body

The automobile is made up of three basic parts: the power plant or engine, the chassis, and the body. The body shell is a fairly complex assortment of large steel sections. These sections have been stamped into specific shapes which make up the body of a car. These parts are designed to do many jobs at once; protect the occupants from the elements and in collisions, provide solid mounts for all other systems, and slice through the air with minimal resistance. Early cars were so uncomfortable to ride in. The body and the suspension system now give us a smooth ride. The idea is that the body of the car should go forward with as little upand-down and side-to-side movement as possible. The frame(chassis) provides a firm structure for the body. There are two types of frames: integral frames or unibody and conventional. The frame is extremely rigid in order to keep all other parts of a car in 82

perfect alignment. It is usually constructed of heavy steel and welded or cold riveted together. The manufacturer takes the rigid type of frame and attaches all the other parts to it, like the way a sculptor starts with a wire frame to build his sculpture on and give it shape. The main units of chassis are: the power transmission, the running gear, and the steering mechanism. The power transmission mechanism consists of the clutch, gearbox, propeller (cardan) shaft, rear axle, final drive, differential, and axle shafts. At the front end of the car is the engine. On the back of it is the flywheel. Behind the flywheel is the clutch, a friction device connecting the engine with gears of the gearbox. The main function of the gearbox is the change the speed of the car. The power is always transmitted by the cardan shaft to the live back axle. The final drive reduces the high speed of the engine to the low speed of the driving wheels. The differencial enables the driving wheels to turn at different speeds which is necessary when turning the car. The rear axle is capable of moving up and down about the frame. The rear axle is an important part of transmission. It carries the greater portion of the weight of the car. The steering mechanism is designed for changing the direction of driving. The brakes are used for stopping the car, for decreasing its speed and for holding the car position. Exercise 2. Find in the Text A the answers to the following questions. 1. What main units does the chassis consist of? 2. Where is the engine located? 3. Where is the flywheel fixed? 4. Where is the clutch placed? 5. What is the gearbox designed for? 6. By what shaft is the power transmitted to the back axle? 7. What does the rear axle do? 8. What is the function of the differential? 9. What purpose is the steering system designed for? 10.

Basic trouble of transmission mechanism The transmission of the engine torque to the driving wheels of the automobile must be smooth. There should be no vibration in the operation of transmission mechanism within the range of traveling speeds. The indications of malfunctions in the transmission mechanism components are as follows: 1) incomplete disengagement of the clutch; 2) difficult engagement or self-demeshing of gears; 3) run out and vibration of the cardan-drive shaft. What to do in this case 1. Check the free travel of the clutch pedal and adjust it. 2. Check the oil level in the gearbox housing and wash breather channel. 3. Check to see that all the fastening bolts are securely tightened and that the trunnion crosses fit properly the bearings, and the bearing, in turn, the universal-joint forks. Notes: to adjust – регулировать breather channel – канал сапуна fastening bolts – крепёжные болты to fit properly – подгонять должным образом free travel – свободный ход gear lever – рычаг коробки передач incomplete disengagement – неполное отключение сцепления malfunction – неполадка torgue – крутящий момент trouble – неисправность universal – joint forks – вилки кардана

It is interesting to read it and understand! Sure you will get fun! Text B History of Mercedes-Benz Although Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot is often credited with building the first self-propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769, this claim is disputed by some, who doubt Cugnot's three-wheeler ever ran. What is not in doubt is that Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive in 1801, the first truly successful steam-powered road vehicle. François Isaac de Rivaz, a Swiss inventor, designed the first internal combustion engine, in 1806, which was fuelled by a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen and used it to develop the world's first vehicle to run on such an engine. The design was not very successful, as was the case with Samuel Brown, Samuel Morey, and Etienne Lenoir who each produced vehicles powered by clumsy internal combustion engines.

In November 1881 French inventor Gustave Trouvé demonstrated a working three-wheeled automobile. This was at the International Exhibition of Electricity in Paris. An automobile powered by an Otto gasoline engine was built in Mannheim, Germany by Karl Benz in 1885 and granted a patent in January of the following year under the auspices of his major company, Benz & Cie. which was founded in 1883. Although several other German engineers (including Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach, and Siegfried Marcus) were working on the problem at about the same time, Karl Benz is generally acknowledged as the inventor of the modern automobile. In 1879 Benz was granted a patent for his first engine, designed in 1878. Many of his other inventions made the use of the internal combustion engine feasible for powering a vehicle and in 1896, Benz designed and patented the first internal combustion flat engine. Approximately 25 Benz vehicles were built and sold before 1893, when his first four-wheeler was introduced. They were powered with four-stroke engines of his own design. Emile Roger of France, already producing Benz engines under license, now added the Benz automobile to his line of products. Because France was more open to the early automobiles, more were built and sold in France through Roger than Benz sold in Germany. Daimler and Maybach founded Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (Daimler Motor Company, DMG) in Cannstatt in 1890 and under the brand name, Daimler, sold their first automobile in 1892. By 1895 about 30 vehicles had been built by Daimler and Maybach, either at the Daimler works or in the Hotel Hermann, where they set up shop after falling out with their backers. Benz and Daimler seem to have been unaware of each other's early work and worked independently. Daimler died in 1900 and later that year, Maybach designed a model named Daimler-Mercedes, special-ordered by Emil Jellinek. Two years later, a new model DMG automobile was produced and named Mercedes after the engine. Maybach quit DMG shortly thereafter and opened a business of his own. Rights to the Daimler brand name were sold to other manufacturers. Karl Benz proposed co-operation between DMG and Benz & Cie. when economic conditions began to deteriorate in Germany following the First World War, but the directors of DMG refused to consider it initially. Negotiations between the two companies resumed several 90

years later and in 1924 they signed an Agreement of Mutual Interest valid until the year 2000. Both enterprises standardized design, production, purchasing, sales, and advertising – marketing their automobile models jointly—although keeping their respective brands. On June 28, 1926, Benz & Cie. and DMG finally merged as the Daimler-Benz company, baptizing all of its automobiles Mercedes Benz honoring the most important model of the DMG automobiles, the Maybach design later referred to as the 1902 Mercedes-35hp, along with the Benz name. Karl Benz remained a member of the board of directors of Daimler-Benz until his death in 1929. Exercise 15. Sure you will not find difficulty to give answers to the questions on Text B.

§2. Причастие I (простая форма) Причастие I – причастие настоящего времени действительного залога образуется от инфинитива прибавлением суффикса -ing: read + ing = reading Причастие I на русский язык переводится как причастие с окончанием -щий или деепричастие: читающий Например: reading читая 92

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

В предложении причастие I может быть: 1) определением и тогда может стоять перед определяемым словом (т.е. слева) и после определяемого слова (т.е. справа). В последнем случае оно вместе с уточняющими его словами образует причастный оборот. Например: Everybody listened to the reading student. Everybody listened to the student reading the newspaper.

Все слушали читающего студента. Все слушали студента, читающего газету.

2) обстоятельством, тогда оно стоит в начале или в конце предложения и вместе с уточняющими его словами соответствует русскому деепричастному обороту. Например: Reading the new text the student made no mistakes.

Читая новый текст, студент не сделал никаких ошибок.

3) частью сказуемого, вместе с глаголом " to be " образует формы времен продолженной группы. Например: The student is reading a newspaper now.

Студент сейчас читает газету.

Функции причастия в предложении можно обобщить следующим образом. Причастие I: 1. определение – слева от существительного; 2. определительный причастный оборот – справа от существительного с зависимыми словами; 3. обстоятельство – в начале или в конце предложения с зависимыми словами; 4. часть сказуемого группы продолженных времен – после глагола “to be”. §3. Причастие II Причастие II – причастие прошедшего времени страдательного залога, у стандартных (правильных) глаголов образуется от инфинитива при помощи суффикса -ed, а у нестандартных (неправильных) глаголов является третьей формой (см. список). Например: translate + ed write

translated written

93

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

Причастие II переводится на русский язык причастиями с окончаниями -ный, -мый, -тый. Например: translated – переведенный, переводимый. written – написанный.

В предложении причастие II может быть: 1) определением и тогда стоит в предложении перед определяемым существительным (слева) или после него (справа), образуя вместе с уточняющими словами причастный оборот. Например: The translated article is very interesting. The article translated by the student is very difficult.

Переведенная статья очень интересная. Статья, переведенная студентом, очень трудная.

2) входить в состав сказуемого в страдательном залоге (Passive Voice). Например: New texts are usually translated at home.

Новые тексты обычно переводятся дома.

3) входить в состав сказуемого временных форм "Perfect": Например: The economist has translated a chapter from the book.

Экономист перевел главу из этой книги.

§4. Причастие II в функции правого определения к существительному (в пост-позиции) Причастие II, не имеющее уточняющих слов, также может употребляться справа от существительного. В этом случае оно переводится на русский язык перед существительным. Например: The engineer studied the relation Инженер изучал соотношение between the price and the engine между ценой и предложенной efficiency supplied. эффективностью двигателя.

Причастие II в этой функции следует отличать от причастия II в причастном обороте, которое тоже стоит справа от существительного, но имеет зависимые слова (см. § 3).

Сравните: 1. Читая эту книгу, студент 1. Reading this book the student found out many interesting things about узнал много интересного о новых конструкциях техники. new machinery design. 2. Having introduced the new method, 2. Введя новый метод, мы увеличили производительность труда. we increased the labour productivity. 3. The machinery, produced by their company were of high quality.

3. Техника, произведенная их фирмой, была высокого качества.

4. Being harvested in time, this crop gives good results.

4. Лучше перевести не "Будучи убрана...", а "Когда эту культуру убирают вовремя, она даёт хорошие результаты."

5. Having been modernized, this plant 5. После того как этот завод был модернизирован, он увеличил increased its output. выпуск продукции.

§6. Существительное в функции определения Если подряд стоят два или более существительных без предлогов, образуя так называемую "цепочку существительных", то все они являются определениями к последнему существительному в этой "цепочке". При переводе на русский язык существительному в функции определения может соответствовать либо прилагательное (market economy – рыночная экономика, government restrictions – государственные ограничения), либо существительное в родительном падеже (economics study – изучение экономики), либо существительное с предлогом (demand information – сведения о спросе). 95

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

Перевод "цепочки" может включать несколько способов перевода: farm economics expert

специалист по экономике сельского хозяйства или специалист по сельскохозяйственной экономике

farm produce price increase

повышение цен на сельскохозяйственную продукцию

oil price restriction

ограничение цен на нефть.

§7. Глагол "to be" в сочетании с инфинитивом Глагол "to be" в личной форме перед инфинитивом может выражать долженствование. Например: The price of this car model is to Цена на эту модель авто должна increase by 7 per cent. увеличиться на 7%. The designers were to foresee the Конструкторы должны были предуmarket price rise. смотреть увеличение рыночной цены.

Если по смыслу предложения "to be" перед инфинитивом нельзя перевести словом "должен", его следует переводить "состоит в том, чтобы". Например: The manager’s task was to analyse the market prices for tractors of 150 hp.

Задача экономиста состояла в том, чтобы проанализировать рыночные цены на трактора мощностью 150 л.с.

§8. Глаголы, выражающие долженствование Долженствование может быть выражено рядом глаголов, за которыми непосредственно следует инфинитив (с частицей "to" или без нее). Например: We must maintain current prices. We should maintain current prices. We are to maintain current prices. We have to maintain current prices. We ought to maintain current prices.

Мы должны сохранять существующие цены.

96

§9. Оборот to be + of + существительное В этом сочетании глагол "to be" переводится "иметь, представлять". Например: His latest managerial decisions are of great use for the firm.

Его последние управленческие решения имеют большую пользу (очень полезны) для фирмы.

Good textbooks are of high value for any student.

Хорошие учебники представляют высокую ценность для любого студента.

Prices are of importance for demand in any type of economy.

Цены имеют значение для спроса в экономике любого типа.

§10. Бессоюзное присоединение определительных придаточных предложений В английском языке в определительных придаточных предложениях союзные слова who, which, that (который), when (когда) могут быть опущены. Если за двумя рядом стоящими существительными (или существительным и личным местоимением в общем падеже) следует глагол в личной форме, второе существительное (или местоимение) обычно является подлежащим придаточного предложения, которое присоединено к главному без союза. Например:

Money can be used to buy things we wish to consume.

На стыке слов things и we опущено союзное слово which или that. Такие придаточные предложения на русский язык переводятся с добавлением союзного слова "который": "Деньги можно использовать для покупки вещей, которые мы хотим потреблять". Если в конце такого придаточного предложения имеется предлог, то он переводится с добавлением союзного слова " который ". Например: The information the engineer relied upon was outdated.

Информация, на которую полагался инженер, была устаревшей.

97

§11. Независимый причастный оборот Независимый причастный оборот – это причастный оборот со своим подлежащим. Независимый причастный оборот распознается по следующим признакам: 1) причастие стоит на месте сказуемого и имеет свое подлежащее; 2) от основной части предложения оборот отделяется запятой. Предложения с независимым причастным оборотом строятся следующим образом: (П – подлежащее) П1 + причастие + второстепенные члены, П2 + сказуемое + ... или наоборот: П1 + сказуемое + ..., П2 + причастие + второстепенные члены. Если оборот предшествует основной части предложения, он переводится с союзами "так как, когда, если " в зависимости от смысла всего предложения. Если оборот употребляется после основной части предложения, он переводится со словами "причем, при этом, а, и". Причастие в независимом обороте переводится как сказуемое. Перфектные формы причастия переводятся глаголом в прошедшем времени. Например: The country having a budget deficit inflation may follow.

Если в стране имеется бюджетный дефицит, может последовать инфляция.

A bank is a business, its owners and Банк – это предприятие, и его влаmanagers aiming to maximize prof- дельцы и управляющие ставят своits. ей целью максимальное увеличение прибылей.

§12. Отглагольное существительное и герундий В английском языке есть три формы с суффиксом -ing: причастие I, отглагольное существительное и герундий. Эти формы важно различать, чтобы суметь найти их эквиваленты в русском языке. Русский эквивалент причастия I зависит от того, какую функцию выполняет эта форма в предложении (см. §2, 11).

98

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

Отглагольное существительное трудностей при переводе не представляет, т.к. в русском языке ему всегда соответствует тоже существительное. Как и обычное существительное, оно может употребляться; с артиклем, иметь определение, выраженное прилагательным, иметь форму множественного числа. Чаще всего встречается следующая форма отглагольного существительного the planning of, т.е. слева определенный артикль, справа предлог “of”. Например: The planning of the cropping is one of the main tasks of the agronomist and engineer as well.

Планирование посева – это одна из основных задач агронома, а также инженера.

Герундий обозначает название процесса, т.е. "делание". В отличие от отглагольного существительного, за герундием часто следует прямое дополнение, но переводятся и герундий, и отглагольное существительное одинаково. Например: The long-term planning of production helps to avoid income losses. Долгосрочное планирование производства помогает избегать потери в Long-term production planning доходах. helps to avoid income losses.

Важно уметь отличить герундий от причастия I, так как их значение различно. В русском языке формы аналогичной герундию нет, поэтому герундий можно переводиться по-разному, в зависимости от контекста: существительным, неопределенной формой глагола, деепричастием и глаголом в личной форме, если перед ним имеется притяжательное местоимение или существительное в притяжательном падеже (-'s). Например: Increasing labour productivity reduced the production cost. Choosing proper decisions is of great importance in management. Labour productivity may be increased by introducing new technique.

Повышение производительности труда снизило себестоимость. 1) Выбор правильного решение очень важен в управлении. 2) Выбрать правильное решение очень важно в управлении. Производительность труда можно повысить: 1) используя новую технику. 2) путем использования новой техники.

The expansion of production will largely depend on their investing adequate amount of money in this business.

Расширение производства будет во многом зависеть от того, вложат ли они соответствующее количество денег в это дело.

Сложные формы герундия Герундий имеет простую, перфектную и пассивную формы, как и причастие I (см. §5).

Indefinite Perfect

Active Increasing Having increased

Passive being increased having been increased

Простая форма (Indefinite) указывает на то, что действие, выраженное герундием, происходит одновременно с действием, выраженным сказуемым. Перфектная форма (Perfect) показывает, что действие, выраженное герундием, предшествует действию, выраженному сказуемым; в русском языке этой форме соответствует глагол в прошедшем времени. Например: Increasing the production of 1) Повысить производство сельскохозяйfarm machinery was of great ственной техники было очень важно. importance. 2) Повышение производства сельскохозяйственной техники имело большое значение.

We know of their having greatly decreased the production cost.

Мы знаем, что они значительно снизили себестоимость.

Они поблагодарили экономиста: They thanked the economist for 1) за то, что им дали все сведения. being given all the data. 2) за получение всех данных.

§13. Инфинитив в функции подлежащего Если предложение начинается с инфинитива, за которым сразу следует глагол-сказуемое, то этот инфинитив является подлежащим и переводится на русский язык глаголом в неопределенной форме или существительным.

100

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

Например: Строить торговые центры – один из новых путей американской торговли. То build shopping centres is one или of the new ways of American Строительство торговых центров являmarketing. ется одним из новых путей американской торговли.

Такой инфинитив вместе с уточняющими его словами образует группу подлежащего (она кончается перед глаголомсказуемым). Например: Развивать малый бизнес быстрыми То develop small business at a темпами является одной из важнейrapid rate is one of the most im- ших задач нашего времени. portant tasks of to-day. или Развитие малого бизнеса быстрыми темпами является одной из важнейших задач нашего времени.

§14. Инфинитив в функции обстоятельства пели Инфинитив (или инфинитивная группа – т.е. инфинитив с уточняющими его словами), находясь в начале предложения, может выполнять и другую функцию: он может быть не подлежащим, а обстоятельством цели. Такой инфинитив часто вводится союзом "in order" ("чтобы", "для того, чтобы"). Например: In order to satisfy the needs of farmers, the producer must know the market well.

Чтобы удовлетворить потребности фермеров, производитель должен хорошо знать рынок.

Однако, союз "in order" часто опускается, и тогда предложение начинается с инфинитива (или инфинитивной группы). При переводе перед таким инфинитивом следует добавить "чтобы". Например: То satisfy the needs of farmers, the producer must know the market well.

101

Чтобы удовлетворить потребности фермеров, производитель должен хорошо знать рынок.

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

Итак, инфинитив в начале предложения переводится либо неопределенной формой глагола (если это инфинитив в функции подлежащего), либо неопределенной формой глагола с союзом "чтобы" (если это инфинитив в функции обстоятельства цели). Сравните: 1. То satisfy the needs of consumers is a difficult task. 2. To satisfy the needs of consumers, the producer must know the market well.

Следовательно, обнаружив в начале предложения инфинитив, надо сначала попытаться перевести его, не добавляя союза "чтобы" (в I-м примере: "Удовлетворить потребности потребителей трудная задача".) Если это не удается (во 2-м примере: "Удовлетворить потребности потребителей производитель должен хорошо знать рынок "), значит надо добавить "чтобы" ("Чтобы удовлетворить потребности потребителей, производитель должен хорошо знать рынок"). Инфинитив в функции обстоятельства цели может находиться не только в начале предложения, но и после дополнения или обстоятельства, причем союз " in order" и в этом случае часто опускается. Например: The small shops seek for the new ways in order to survive.

Маленькие магазины ищут новые способы, чтобы выжить.

Инфинитиву после слов too (слишком), enough, sufficiently (достаточно) в русском языке также соответствует неопределенная форма глагола с союзом "чтобы" ("для того, чтобы"). Например: This store is rich enough to satisfy the needs of numerous buyers.

Этот магазин достаточно богат, чтобы удовлетворить потребности многочисленных покупателей.

§15. Оборот "for + существительное (местоимение) + + инфинитив" В русском языке такому обороту соответствует придаточное предложение; при этом "for" соответствует союз "чтобы", а инфинитиву – сказуемое. Например: The producers decided to accelerate supplies for consumers not to feel the shortage of goods.

Производители решили ускорить поставки, чтобы потребители не испытывали нехватки в товарах. 102

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

§16. Инфинитив в функции определения Инфинитив или инфинитивная группа, следующие непосредственно после существительного, могут являться не только обстоятельством цели, но и правым определением к этому существительному (обычно инфинитив в функции определения имеет пассивную форму to be used, to be produced и т.д.). В русском языке такому инфинитиву соответствует определительное придаточное предложение с союзным словом "который". Сказуемое этого придаточного предложения выражает действие, которое должно произойти. Например: The problem to be solved in the near future is attraction of younger customers by design and quality of new goods. То raise the living standard of people is the prime task to be fulfilled.

Проблема, которую нужно решить в ближайшем будущем, – это привлечение молодых покупателей дизайном и качеством новых товаров. Повысить жизненный уровень людей первостепенная задача, которую предстоит выполнить (которая должна быть выполнена).

§17. Предложения с вводящим “there” Вы уже знаете, что в сочетаниях "there" с глаголом "to be" в разных временных формах (there are, there was, mere were, there will be, there has been и т.д.) "there" самостоятельного значения не имеет, и все сочетание переводится целиком. Например: There is a new store in our street There will be a sale in this supermarket

На нашей улице есть новый магазин. В этом супермаркете будет распродажа.

Но "there" может сочетаться не только с глаголом "to be", а также я с модальными и некоторыми другими глаголами: should, must, can, may; exist, соme, livе. При этом переводится только глагол. Например: There may be a sale in this supermarket tomorrow. There exist different forms of retailing.

Завтра, может быть, будет распродажа в этом супермаркете. Существуют различные формы торговли. 103

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

Если в предложении с вводящим "there" имеется еще и наречие there ("там"), то оно употребляется в конце. Например: There are many retailing firms there.

Там имеется много торговых фирм.

§18. Значение слова "one" Слово "one" может быть: 1) числительным "один". Например: One of die most important tasks Одной из самых важных задач сейчас now is transportation of these является транспортировка этих товаgoods. ров.

2) заместителем упомянутого существительного. В этом случае или не переводится или "восстанавливается" существительное, которое "one" заменяет. Например: I don't like this method, let's use Мне не нравится этот метод, давайте another one. используем другой (метод).

3) формальным подлежащим, если стоит перед глаголом в личной форме. В этом случае слово "one" не переводится. Например: One should know the difference Следует знать разницу между этими between these systems of marketing. рыночными системами.

§19. Значение слова "it" Местоимение "it" может выполнять различные функции в предложении. Оно может быть: 1) личным местоимением в именительном падеже. В этом случае переводится "он, "она", "оно". Например: We approved of this system of banking. It is more progressive.

Мы одобрили эту систему банковского дела. Она является более прогрессивной.

2) указательным местоимением со значением "это".

104

Например: It is our standard of these goods.

Это наш стандарт на эти товары.

3) формальным подлежащим в безличных предложениях; на русский язык не переводится. Например: a) It is cold. a) Холодно. b) It is necessary to research this b) Необходимо исследовать этот market. рынок.

4) частью усилительной конструкции "it is... that ... ", которая переводится "именно". Например: It is this method of analysis that helped us so much.

Именно этот метод анализа очень нам помог.

§20. Инфинитивная конструкция "сложное подлежащее" Эта конструкция строится по следующей модели: I Подлежащее (существительное или местоимение в именительном падеже)

Сложное подлежащее II Сказуемое (глагол в личной форме страдательного залога)

III Инфинитив

В качестве сказуемого в этой конструкции используются такие глаголы, как: to know – знать, to say – говорить, to think – думать, to believe – полагать, to consider – считать, полагать, to expect – ожидать, to report – сообщать, to suppose – предполагать, to find – находить, обнаруживать. Все эти глаголы лишь формально являются сказуемыми, а по сути, передают лишь отношение людей к действию, выраженному инфинитивом. Например: This firm is said tore high profits.

This new business was believed to improve the situation in the market.

1) Эта фирма, как говорят, получает большие прибыли. 2) Говорят, что эта фирма получает большие прибыли. 1) Это новое дело, как полагали, улучшит положение дел на рынке. 2) Полагали, что это новое дело улучшит 105

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

This practice has been found to require new capital investments.

положение дел на рынке. 1) Этот прием, как установлено, потребует новых капиталовложений. 2) Установлено, что этот прием потребует новых капиталовложений.

Следовательно, инфинитив английского предложения, содержащего эту конструкцию, следует перевести сказуемым, а "формальное" сказуемое английского предложения – либо вводными словами (как известно, как считают и т.д.), либо неопределенноличным предложением с последующим союзом "что" (известно, что…; считают, что... и т.д.). §21. "Сложное подлежащее" при сказуемых в действительном залоге Несколько глаголов употребляется в этой конструкции в личной форме действительного залога. В русском языке им всегда соответствуют "оценочные" слова (т.е. слова, выражающие уверенность или неуверенность говорящего): to seem – кажется, to appear – по-видимому, to be likely – вероятно, to be unlikely – вряд ли, to be sure, to be certain – безусловно, наверняка. Например: He seems to know this rule well.

По-видимому, он хорошо знает это правило.

§22. Инфинитивная конструкция "сложное дополнение" Эта конструкция строится последующей модели: I II III Подлежащее Сказуемое Сложное дополнение в действительном (существительное или залоге местоимение в объектном падеже + инфинитив) "Сложное дополнение" употребляется после следующих глаголов, используемых в качестве сказуемого английского пред-

ложения: to want, to know, to think, to believe, to consider, to expect, to find, to suppose и некоторых других в действительном залоге. (Не путать со "сложным подлежащим", где они употребляются в страдательном залоге). На русский язык "сложное дополнение" переводится придаточным предложением с союзами "что", "чтобы", при этом инфинитив английского предложения передается сказуемым русского предложения. Например: We want these companies to help pension funds. Сравните: 1. We expect the credit terms to ensure the product development (сложное дополнение). 2. The credit terms are expected to ensure the product development (сложное подлежащее).

Мы хотим, чтобы эти компании помогли пенсионным фондам. Мы надеемся, что условия кредита обеспечат разработку новой продукции Условия кредита, как ожидают, обеспечат разработку новой продукции. или Ожидают, что условия кредита обеспечат разработку новой продукции.

§23. Сложные формы инфинитива В английском языке имеется несколько форм инфинитива: Indefinite Continuous Perfect

Active to use to be using to have used

Passive to be used — to have been used

Формы инфинитива, в составе которых имеется глагол "to have", называются перфектными. В инфинитивных конструкциях перфектные формы обозначают действие, предшествующее действию, выраженному сказуемым. В русском языке им соответствует сказуемое в прошедшем времени. Сравните: This equipment is known to work Известно, что это оборудование well. работает хорошо. This equipment is known to have Известно, что это оборудование worked well. работало хорошо. Сравните также: We know this equipment to work Мы знаем, что это оборудование 107

well. работает хорошо. We know this equipment to have Мы знаем, что это оборудование worked well. работало хорошо.

§24. Условные предложения Условные предложения в английском языке вводятся союзами "if” (если), "provided" (если), "unless" (если не). (Как вы знаете, после этих союзов будущее время глагола заменяется настоящим). Например: 1. If you use labour resources Если вы будете использовать трудоproperly, you will increase labour вые ресурсы правильно, вы повысиproductivity. те производительность труда. 2. The accountant will prepare the Бухгалтер подготовит балансовый balance sheet, provided we calculate отчет при условии, что мы рассчитаthe depreciation of die assets. ем амортизацию фондов.

Если же в главном предложении имеется should или would, а в условном придаточном предложении сказуемое употреблено в прошедшем времени, то на русский язык и главное и придаточное предложения переводятся с частицей "бы". Например: 1. If we applied new high efficient equipment, we would decrease the production cost. 2. If they had used double entry bookkeeping system they would have easily found the error in balances. 3. The accountant would prepare financial statements more quickly if he got the necessary computer program.

Если бы мы использовали новое высокоэффективное оборудование, мы бы снизили себестоимость. Если бы они использовали двойную систему бухгалтерской записи, они бы легко обнаружили ошибку в балансах. Бухгалтер подготовил бы финансовые отчеты намного быстрее, если бы он получил необходимую компьютерную программу.

§25. Неполные придаточные предложения Группа слов, состоящая из союзов when, while, if, until, unless я т.д. в причастия, прилагательного и редко существительного, рассматриваются как неполные придаточные предложения. Например: When carried out last year, the experiment showed good results.

108

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

Здесь опущено подлежащее (то же, что и в главном предложении – the experiment и вспомогательный глагол was). При переводе на русский язык подлежащее восстанавливается: "Когда эксперимент проводился в прошлом году, он показал хорошие результаты". §26. Предложения типа ‘'It is necessary that... " В английском языке после предложений, выражающих совет, рекомендации, необходимость, желательность и т.п. (It is necessary, it is important, it is desirable, ft is advisable, it is not necessary, it is encouraging, it is not impossible, и т.п.), в придаточных предложения с союзом "that" сказуемое имеет необычную форму; она либо совпадает с инфинитивом (но не имеет частицы, "to"), либо состоит из should + инфинитив (без частицы "to"). На русский язык обе формы переводятся глаголем в прошедшем времени, а союз ''that" – "чтобы". Например: 1. It is important that the plan be fulfilled in time. или It is important that the plan should be fulfilled in time. 2. It is necessary that our engineer take part (или should take part) in this work.

Важно, чтобы план был выполнен вовремя. Необходимо, чтобы наш инженер принял участие в этой работе.

§27. Усилительная конструкция "It is ... that " Данная конструкция служит для смыслового выделения члена предложения (подлежащего, дополнения или обстоятельства). It is (was) + выделяемое слово + that (who, whom, which).... На русский язык эта конструкция переводится со словом "именно". Например: It is this new system of management that gave the best results. It is the bookkeeper who prepares a balance sheet.

Именно эта новая система управления дала лучшие результаты. Именно бухгалтер подготавливает балансовый отчет.

§28. Значения слова "that (those)" Слово "that (those)" может употребляться: 1) Как указательное местоимение в значении "тот (те)". Например: 109

Copyright ОАО «ЦКБ «БИБКОМ» & ООО «Aгентство Kнига-Cервис»

That method is more reliable man me Тот метод надежнее, чем старый. old one.

2) Как заместитель ранее упомянутого существительного. В этом случае оно часто употребляется с предлогом “of” и на русский язык переводится существительным, которое "that (those)" заменяет. Например: The goods sold in the market are Товары, продаваемые на рынке, of lower quality than those of our имеют более низкое качество, чем company. товары нашей компании.

3) Как союзное слово "который". Например: A consumer prefers the good that Потребитель предпочитает товар, has high quality and reasonable который обладает высоким качестprice. вом и имеет разумную цену.

4) Как союз "что". Например: It is well-known that the market Хорошо известно, что рыночная цена price is regulated by the law of регулируется законом спроса и предsupply and demand. ложения.

5) Как часть усилительной конструкции " It is ... that". Например: It is a reduction in incomes that Именно уменьшение доходов повлияinfluenced the quantity of the ло на количество потребляемых товаgoods consumed. ров.

6) Как союзное слово "чтобы" в предложениях типа "It is necessary... that”. Например: It is necessary that all data be Необходимо, чтобы все данные были prepared in time. подготовлены во время.

§29. Наиболее распространенные союзы as – так как, когда, по мере того как, как as well as – так же как и as soon as – как только as long as – до тех пор, пока as ... as – так же ... как 110

Конверсия

Конверсия – это способ словообразования без добавления суффиксов и префиксов и без изменения основной формы слова. Например: глагол to use – использовать to increase – увеличивать to produce – производить to effect – влиять

существительное use – использование increase – увеличение produce – продукты, изделия effect – влияние
