9. Learn the difference in meaning: to connect, to join, to link
1. Соединить материальные объекты друг с другом, связать, сцепить, присоединить, слить. Синонимы отличаются друг от друга по следующим смысловым признакам: 1) степень обособленности соединяемых объектов, 2) их число, характер или тип соединения, 3) характер или тип соединения (механическое, физическое, химическое), 4) наличие-отсутствие связующего звена между ними, 5) прочность связи.
connect, join, link обозначают как правило механическое соединение (путем связывания, спайки, склейки) двух объектов, каждый из которых сохраняет известную обособленность.
Join не имеет никаких дополнительных семантических особенностей: to join two pieces of metal by welding соединить два куска металла с помощью сварки; to join one length of rope to another связать один кусок веревки с другим, to join an island to the mainland by a bridge соединить остров и материк мостом.
Connect и link отличаются от join тем, что всегда предполагают не только обособленность связываемых объектов, но и наличие и выделимость связующего звена между ними; при этом link в большей мере, чем connect подчеркивает прочность присоединения, тесноту связи между объектами: to connect two banks of a river by a bridge; the two towns are connected by the railway line; the three plants are linked by a railway; a submarine cable linked the two continents.
2. Стать участником совместной деятельности или членом определенной группы лиц, примкнуть, присоединиться,
связать, вступить, войти. Connect, в отличие от join предполагает менее прочное сотрудничество, часто в роли служащего, а не равного партнера: his aim was to connect himself with a banking firm у него была цель устроиться на работу в какой-либо банковской фирме.
Link близко по значению к connect, но предполагает более прочное или длительное присоединение: to link up with somebody примкнуть к кому-л.; this firm is going to link up with a more powerful company эта фирма намерена присоединиться к более могущественной компании. Join имеет значение «вступить, быть принятым в члены» to join a club стать членом клуба, to join a labour party вступить в партию, to join the army пойти в армию.
