Трудные случаи перевода страдательного залога

Можно выделить два типа глаголов, которые вы­зывают трудности при переводе на русский, если они используются в страдательном залоге:

а) глаголы, которые требуют после себя дополнения с предлогом и в русском переводе тоже имеют предлож­ное дополнение, например: to depend on (upon) smth.‘зависеть от чего-л.’; to deal with smth. ‘иметь дело с чем-л.’; to refer to smth. ‘ссылаться на что-л.’ и т. д. The phenomenon is referred to in many articles ‘На это явление ссылаются во многих статьях’;

б) глаголы, за которыми идет беспредложное дополне­ние, но которые в русском переводе требуют предложного, например: to answer smth. ‘отвечать на’;tofollow smth. ‘следовать за чём-л.’; to affect smth. ‘влиять на что-л.’; to influence smth. ‘влиять на что-л.’; to approach smth. ‘подходить к чему-л.’. Data analysis follows data gathering ‘Анализ данных следует за сбором данных’.

При переводе предложений, включающих оба типа глаголов в страдательном залоге, русское предложение следует начинать с предлога, например: It is quite evident that not every experiment can be relied upon‘Вполне очевидно, что не на каждый эксперимент можно положиться’; Many questions were answered correctly ‘На многие вопросы были даны правильные ответы’; The development of physics was greatly influenced by the discovery of radioactivity ‘На развитие физики сильно повлияло открытие радиоактивности’.

За сказуемым в страдательном залоге могут стоять два предлога подряд. При переводе русское пред­ложение надо начинать с первого, а второй отнести к обстоя­тельству, стоящему справа, например: The work is often referred toin special literature ‘Нa эту работу часто ссылаются в специальной литературе’.

При наличии в английском предложении однород­ных сказуемых, выраженных глаголами в страдательном залоге, обычно в полной форме представлено только пер­овое сказуемое, а второе (и, если есть, последующие) – только смысловой частью. При переводе на русский язык обычно (но не всегда) следует повторить подлежащее (заменяя его во втором случае местоимением) для каж­дого смыслового глагола-сказуемого, например: Wood is much experimented upon and worked at in research institutes ‘С древесиной проводится много экспериментов, и над ней работают в научно-ис­следовательских институ­тах’; Now questions can be asked and answered‘Теперь можно задавать вопросы и можно давать на них ответы’.

b) Atomic energy is not new. Since the latter part of the nineteenth century scientists have been studying the atom hoping to learn how to free the great stores of energy.

In 1939 the discovery of fission opened the way to the great development that is now going on. The achievements of atomic energy are possible because of the atomic furnace – a nuclear reactor. The atomic furnace is being used to make steam for generating electricity and to produce flying pieces of radioactive materials which have shown the way to a completely different kind of atomic energy, this is fusion which releases even greater power than fission. However, our long search for an understanding of matter is not finished. There is still no final model of the atom. Man has yet to find the complete answer to nature's atomic secret.
