​​#Vocabulary #Collocations

Я уже писала о необходимости не просто переводить с русского на английский, а стараться подбирать подходящие по смыслу collocations, т.е. выражения, используемые носителями языка (например, крепко спать, а также пожелание доброй ночи – sleep tight, крепкий мороз/заморозки – hard frost).

Посмотрим на несколько collocations, в которых не всегда совпадают числа в русском и английском языке:
📌make an effort – приложить усилия
📌make every effort – предпринять все возможные усилия
🔸Learning to speak another language takes effort. Научиться говорить на другом языке требует усилий.
🔸You should put more effort into your work. Тебе следует приложить больше усилий в сою работу.
🔸A considerable amount of time and effort has gone into this. Значительное количество времени и усилий ушло на это.

📌There was no change in the situation. Не было никаких изменений в ситуации.
📌a change for the better - перемены/изменения к лучшему
We all are hoping for a change for the better. Мы все надеемся на перемены к лучшему.

🟡I wish you a fantastic birthday and a great year ahead!
🟡May your birthday be the start of a year filled with good luck, good health, and much happiness.
🟡Happy Birthday! You’re not getting older, you’re just becoming a classic!
🟡Happy Birthday! Don’t count the years, just enjoy the ride!
🟡Happy Birthday to someone who means the world to me. Enjoy your day to the fullest!
🟡Happy Birthday! Wishing you continued success and happiness in the coming year.
