7. В английском языке распространен предложный герундиаль­ ный оборот of+Gerund. Этот оборот большей частью выполняет функцию предложного определения существительного.

Если герундий в таком обороте стоит в действитель­ном залоге, он переводится на русский язык существитель­ным в родительном падеже (в функции определения):

the option of loading право погрузки

the use of lighting использование освещения

Если герундий стоит в страдательном залоге с су-ществнтельным в общем падеже в функции определения, то он пе­реводится существительным или глаголом в личной форме:

42

In case of cargo being loaded. В случае погрузки груза. В

случае, если груз погружен.

Если же за герундием в таком обороте идет дополнение, то удобнее переводить его либо инфинитивом, либо развернутым при­даточным предложением:

The option «if employing Право нанимать лебедчиков

winchmen from shore. с берега.
