Отсутствие артикля перед именами и фамилиями. Как правило, перед именами и фамилиями людей, прозвищами и кличками артикль не ставится – таково общее правило. Lewis is here. Molly is 17. The dog’s name is Buck. His surname is Gershvin. Данное правило распространяется и на те случаи, когда перед именами и фамилиями стоят определения This is little Sindy. Poor Steven, again he got a bad mark. существительные, обозначающие родственные связи 14 Aunt Polly was a terrible woman. Uncle Smith is so optimistic. слова обозначающие звание, титул или ранг Lord Severn Doctor (Dr) Berger Queen Elizabeth President Clinton Professor Ivanov Captain Hook слова, являющиеся общепринятыми вариантами обращения в полной или сокращенной форме Mister Benton Mrs. Green Miss Black Артикль the перед именами и фамилиями, кличками и прозвищами Артикль the ставится перед фамилиями, если те стоят во множественном числе и обозначают всю семью, всех членов семьи The Petrovs are nice people. – Петровы — хорошие люди. перед именами и фамилиями, кличками и прозвищами, если имеется ввиду «тот самый» Петров, Вася или Тузик, то есть личность лимитируется контекстом Is he the Paul who came on Monday? – Это тот самый Павел, что приходил в понедельник? Артикль a/an перед именами и фамилиями, кличками и прозвищами. Артикль a/an мы будем ставить перед фамилиями в единственном числе, если хотим подчеркнуть принадлежность человека к данной семье He is really an Ivanov – he’s as kind as his parents. – Он действительно Иванов: он так же добр, как и его родители. перед фамилиями художников, скульпторов, музыкантов, если имеется ввиду их творение Though the museum is small it has a Rembrandt. – Хотя музей маленький, но в нем есть картина Рембрандта. перед именами, фамилиями, прозвищами и кличками, если мы имеем ввиду не конкретного человека, а некоторые качества, которые с ним ассоциируются. Другими словами, если имя выступает в качестве нарицательного Molly’s husband is an Othello. – Муж Молли – Отелло. (Можем смело перевести: Муж Молли – ревнивец.) перед именами и фамилиями в значении какой-то, некий, некто,незнакомый A Mr. Green called you. – Какой-то мистер Грин звонил вам. 15 Articles with proper names and surnames. 1.

Benton is much like his parents. One can say he is ___ real Benton. o a o the o Артикль a/an перед национальностями. Неопределенный артикль a/an следует ставить, если название национальности является существительным в единственном числе и используется для описательной характеристики одного из представителей нации. То есть мы не говорим о конкретном немце или французе, а просто имеем ввиду, что по национальной принадлежности этот человек немец или француз an American – американец a Belgian - бельгиец a Canadian - канадец a German - немец 17 an Italian – итальянец a Mexican — мексиканец a Russian - россиянин a Greek — грек a Spaniard — испанец an Arab — араб a Dane — датчанин a Swede — швед a Finn - финн a Pole - поляк a Turk — турок an Israeli — израильтянин a Swiss - швейцарец a Chinese — китаец a Japanese – японец a Portuguese — португалец Kevin is a German. – Кевин – немец. During the voyage I met a nice Belgian. – Во время плавания я встретила милого бельгийца. Being an American, Den was constantly smiling. – Будучи американцем, Ден постоянно улыбался. Если же вы хотите подчеркнуть, что это какой-то конкретный представитель нации, уже знакомый вам ранее из ситуации или контекста – следует использовать артикль the This is Kevin. He is the German I told you about. – Это Кевин. Он тот самый немец, о котором я рассказывал. During the voyage, I met a Belgian. The Belgian turned out to be a nice person – Во время плавания я встретила бельгийца. Этот (конкретный, уже знакомый по первому предложению) бельгиец оказался милым человеком. Аналогично обстоит ситуация с обозначающими национальность словами, в состав которых входят составляющие man или woman. Если мы используем их в качестве описательных слов, просто характеризую национальную принадлежность – то необходим артикль a /an. Douglas is an Irishman. – Дуглас – ирландец. Если вы имеете ввиду конкретного представителя нации – ставим артикль the. Douglas is the Irishman I met in London. – Дуглас – тот самый ирландец, которого я встретил в Лондоне. Подобное правило также действует, если мы говорим о жителях провинций, штатов, городов или других населенных пунктов Paul is a typical Parisian: he speaks like a Parisian, behaves like a Parisian and even loves like a real Parisian. – Пол – типичный парижанин: он разговаривает как парижанин, ведет себя как парижанин и даже любит как настоящий парижанин. Paul is the Parisian whom I met at the exhibition. – Пол тот самый парижанин, которого я встретил на выставке. Отсутствие артикля перед национальностями. Мы не будем ставить артикль, перед словами, обозначающими национальности, если это слово является прилагательным Katya is Russian. – Катя русская. 18 Kevin is German. – Кевин – немец (немецкий парень). Вы скажите: только в начале статьи вы писали Kevin is a German, а сейчас —Kevin is German. Да, так и есть. Обе фразы абсолютно правильные с точки зрения грамматики. В некоторых случаях будет отличаться лишь перевод. Katya is Russian. – Катя русская. (Russian здесь прилагательное) Katya is a Russian. – Катя — россиянка. (Russian здесь существительное, или согласно некоторым грамматикам английского – субстантивированное прилагательное, что не меняет сути дела) это слово является существительным во множественном числе и используется в качестве описания национальности группы лиц We were attacked by Italians. – На нас напали итальянцы. (То есть группа лиц, напавшая на нас, была по национальности итальянцами.) Если же мы говорим об уже известных из контекста представителях той или иной нации – используем артикль the. The Italians that I met in Rome were nice people. –Итальянцы, которых я встретил в Риме, были милыми. Нулевой артикль также используется, если мы говорим обо всех представителях нации в целом. Russians are ethnically diverse people. – Русские - этнически разнообразные по происхождению. Использование артикля the перед национальностями. Определенный артикль the мы будем ставить перед национальностями, если имеется ввиду население/жители определенной страны (пусть даже представители этого населения и не относятся к данной национальности, а просто проживают в этой стране) The British are very polite. – Британцы (жители Британских островов) очень вежливые. The Japanese have long life expectancy. – Японцы (все жители Японии) имеют высокую среднюю продолжительность жизни. Как уже говорилось ранее, артикль the будет стоять перед названиями национальностей, если конкретное лицо/группа лиц ясны из контекста, либо в самом предложении есть лимитирующее определение The Koreans I told you about will come tomorrow. – Корейцы, про которых я тебе рассказывал, приедут завтра. The также будет ставиться, если речь идет о группе лиц, являющихся представителями или выражателями интересов своей страны на каком-либо мероприятии The Olympic Games in Sochi were won by the Russians. – Олимпийские игры в Сочи выиграли русские (представители от России).
