Grand Canyon

вторник, 20 декабря 2011 г.



If I had a chance to visit America I would go to the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon is a famous canyon in Arizona, formed by the Colorado River. It is a national park of the United States.
The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and is over a mile (1.83 km) (6000 feet) deep in places. Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted.
Many people come from around the world to visit the Grand Canyon. People can also take trips floating on the Colorado River in boats and rafts. Some people like to hike in the Grand Canyon. Some people also ride mules into the Grand Canyon. Most people who visit the Grand Canyon drive in cars to the South Rim and just look at the canyon from the rim and take pictures.

Здороваемся и прощаемся по-английски.

Нет ничего проще, чем сказать “здравствуй” и “до свидания” по-английски: Hello и Goodbye. Но не все так легко на самом деле. Прежде всего, существует множество вариантов приветствия на английском языке в неформальной ситуации. Я приведу те варианты приветствия, которые можно услышать и в Англии, и в США. Вот они: “Hello”, “Hi”, “Hello there”, “Hi there”, “Hey, how are you doing?”, “What’s up?”, “How’s it going?”, “Wow, it’s good to see you”. Часто вы услышите так называемое “двойное приветствие”, например: “Hi there, hey how are you doing?”, “Hello, how have you been?”, “It’s good to see you, how’s life been treating you?”. При первой встрече, когда вас представляют другому человеку, можно сказать: “Good to meet you”, “It’s nice to meet you”, “It’s a pleasure to meet you”. Если вы долго не видели знакомого или друга, то при встрече можете услышать: “Oh my God, its you!”; “Aahh, where have you been?”; “My goodness, long time no speak”; “Wow, it’s so good to see you again!”; “Is it really you? Where did we last meet?”; “Wow, as I live and breathe, it’s my best friend from school”. Естественно, что это фразы на английском языке говорим с интонацией удивления, иногда это выглядит наигранно :) Встреча со знакомым часто предполагает короткий разговор о жизни, но мы часто спешим и на беседу просто нет времени. В этом случае можно сказать: “Hi, sorry I can’t stop”; “Oh hi there, look I’m a bit pushed for time. Here’s my mobile phone number. Give me a call sometime”; “Hello there. I’m on my way to work. Maybe catch you with again soon”; “Hey, I would love to stop and chart, but I really have to dash”. В некоторых ситуациях слово “hello” может менять смысловую нагрузку и становится средством выражения удивления или интереса: “Hello, what’s going on here?”, “Hello, I did not know he had a girlfriend”. В Великобритании частью приветствия часто будет разговор о погоде: “Hello, isn’t it a lovely day?”, “Hello, what about this terrible weather?”, “Hello, did you hear the storm last night?”. Во многих странах мира, в том числе в Великобритании и США, частью приветствия будет вопрос о семье: “Hello, how’s the family?”, “Hello, how’s your wife doing?”, “Hello, how are the kids?”. Слово “hello” может употребляться в ситуациях сарказма или обиды, это уже совсем не приветствие :) : “Hello, did you understand what I said?”, “Hello, was that too difficult for you to read?”, “Hello, do you not recognise me?”, “Hello, what time do you call this? You are late!!!”. Переходим к прощанию: “Bye”, “Bye-bye”, “See you”, “So long”, “Ciao”, “Later”, “Cheerio”, “See you around”, “Farewell”, “Ta-ra”, “See you again”, “Ta-ta for now”, “Catch you later”, “Goodbye”. Слово “ta-ta” используется для прощания в некоторых частях Великобритании и считается дружеской и забавной. Надеюсь, информация пригодится. Cheerio! http://nikitindima.name

Измерения в Англии

Часто туристам в Великобритании портят жизнь многие вещи: неожиданные розетки ( и не русские, и не европейские) :) , непонятные определения размеров обуви, незнакомые меры объема бензина на заправках и так далее. В этой записи я приведу расшифровку (да, общеизвестную, но полезную) английских мер длины. Итак, чтобы перевести дюймы (inches) в сантиметры умножьте дюймы на 2,54. Для перевода сантиметров в дюймы умножаем на 0,39. Чтобы перевести футы (feet) в метры, надо умножить футы на 0,3. Для перевода метров в футы - умножить на 3,28. Ярды в метры переводим умножением на 0,91, а метры в ярды умножением на 1,09. Для перерасчёта миль в километры надо умножить мили на 1,61, а если наоборот, то умножить на 0,62. И вот еще немного справочной информации. 1 cm = 0.3937 inches 1 m = 1.0936 yards 1 km = 0.6214 miles 1 inch = 2.54 cm 1 yard = 36 inches = 0.9144 m. 1 mile = 1760 yards = 1.6093 km. 1 sq in. = 6.4516 sq cm 1 sq ft = 929.03 sq cm 1 sq yd = 0.836 sq metres http://nikitindima.name
