3. Перевод сложных атрибутивных конструкций

Определенную трудность для перевода представляют конструкции, в которых в качестве атрибутивной группы выступают существительные.

Схематически рисунок группы можно представить следующим образом: N+N+N+….

Как правило, перевод осуществляется, начиная с последнего слова в группе, т.е.с последнего существительного, и далее переводим справа налево, вычленяя смысловые группы. При этом следует постоянно помнить об основном правиле перевода:

Переводим смысл всего высказывания, а не значение отдельных слов

Например:

dollarfluctuations– колебания обменного курса доллара

non-oilimports– статьи импорта, за исключением нефти

export-driveneconomy– экономика, ориентированная на экспорт

better-thanexpectedresults– результаты, превысившие (превзошедшие) ожидания

TEXT 1

Never waste a good crisis

Many of the labour-market trends that are currently troubling rich countries were already apparent long before the financial crisis, though the bubble that preceded it helped to hide them and the recession that followed it accelerated them. “It has given employers the excuse to do what they wanted to do but had resisted before the crisis,” says Mr Reich. “Many employers are substituting technology for people. A lot of us were looking for jobs to be displaced by technology a few years ago and were surprised it wasn’t happening faster. Employers didn’t want a reputation for firing when the jobs market was tight.”

Firms are relying more on part-time, contract and temporary workers who are inherently more flexible. In America in 2010, the number of part-time workers reached a new high of 19.7% of all employees. According to a recent survey of American firms by the McKinsey Global Institute, over the next five years 58% of them expect to use more part-time, temporary or contract employees.
