Grammar Focus – noun chains (n-n-n…- n) (2)
Внутри самой цепочки могут встречаться существительные, определяющие одно из существительных цепочки, но не главное существительное: high frequency radio communication – высокочастотная радиосвязь
home market prices - цены внутреннего рынка (в данном примере слово home определяет market (внутренний рынок), но в конечном счете оба слова определяют последнее слово prices).
Цепочка может состоять из трех слов, среднее из которых – прилагательное, причастие или герундий. Перевод такого ряда следует начинать с последнего слова и придерживаться строго обратного порядка. При этом грамматическая форма среднего слова в переводе соблюдается не всегда. Network Operating System (operating – причастие I) – сетевая операционная система an air-cooled system (cooled – причастие II) – система, охлаждаемая воздухом a job scheduling problem (scheduling – Gerund) – проблема планирования (составления графика) работ Если среднее слово в такой цепочке выражено прилагательным, например: dependent – зависимый (от) free – свободный (от) то при переводе можно вводить предлог a dose-dependent effect - зависимый от дозы эффект или переводить без предлога: a fault-free device – исправное устройство Встречаются очень сложные цепочки, включающие несколько глагольных форм. При переводе на английский следует избегать таких цепочек, поскольку они затруднительны при чтении и понимании текста: a domestic market oriented goods serial production – серийное производство товаров, ориентированных на внутренний рынок
В цепочке определений могут дополнительно участвовать прилагательные, которые могут относиться, как к существительным-определениям, так и непосредственно к главному слову. Если в цепочке первым стоит прилагательное, то оно обычно относится к последнему слову, например: the interesting space issue – интересная проблема, касающаяся космоса
