Grammar: ИНТЕРНАЦИОНАЛИЗМЫ
В английском языке, как и в других языках, есть довольно большое количество слов, которые имеют в основном латинские и греческие корни и понятны без перевода. Например: radio, telephone, computer и т.д. Такие слова называются интернационализмами. Они часто используются как термины, т.е. слова, обозначающие определенные понятия в науке, технике, искусстве. Сами названия наук также являются интернационализмами. Например: Physics, Mathematics, Biology и т.д. Знание интернационализмов облегчает чтение, понимание и перевод научных и технических текстов. Однако не все интернационализмы имеют одинаковое значение в английском и в русском языках. Например:
cabinet шкафчик, корпус прибора , кабинет
accurate точный (Russian: аккуратный)
fabric ткань (Russian: фабрика)
mixture смесь (мед.микстура)
