Международные (“International”) слова

Научный и технический прогресс ХХ века принес большое количество новых международных слов atom, atomic, radio, television, sputnik.

При встрече с новым словом не следует сразу пользоваться словарем. В современных отраслевых языках встречается много слов, совпадающих по написанию или звучанию с соответствующими русскими словами.

Например: meeting – митинг, to inform – сообщать, program – программа, basis – основа и т.п. При этом, однако, надо иметь в виду, что есть слова, которые требуют иного перевода и не соответствуют по значению русскому слову. Например: problem – задача, limit – граница, engineer – может означать техник, механик, слесарь и др., industry – трудолюбие и т.д.

Имеются и слова, которые можно понять без словаря, хотя в рус­ский язык они перешли лишь в одном из присущих им значений. К примеру, revolution имеет такие значения, как круговое вращение, пол­ный оборот, смена времен года. В русском же языке это слово употреб­ляется лишь в значении коренной перелом, революция. Слово экспансия в русском означает захват чужих территорий. В английском же оно означает увеличение, расширение, expansion of construction – расширение строительства (а не его захват). К числу подобных слов относятся affair, occupation, reduction и множество других. Переводу таких слов мо­жет помочь контекст и их окружение; так, master segment означает глав­ный сегмент; commercial application – коммерческое применение (а не при­ложение). О значении некоторых слов можно догадаться, сопоставив их с подобными, в какой-то их части, русскими словами. Так, глагол to consist of – состоять из сопоставим со словом консистенция, equal – равный со словом эквивалент, to provide – обеспечивать – со словом провизия, qual­ity – качество – со словом квалификация. Известно, что словарная статья дает обычно ряд значений одного слова. Но не всегда среди них имеет­ся нужный вариант! Например, в сочетании product development слово development надо перевести как выпуск, а все выражение как выпуск про­дукции (а не развитие).

Рекомендуем выработать в себе привычку догадки о значении слова по составляющим его частям. Укажем также на необходимость работать с международными словами, в частности, над их произно­шением: cycle ['saIkl] – цикл, mastic ['mxstIk] – мастика и т.п.

Следует иметь в виду, что в современной литературе по разным отраслям строительства международная лексика представлена чрез­вычайно широко.

Переведите международные слова без словаря, а затем проверьте их значения по словарю.

Сontainer, automatize, efficiency, percent, variation, original, compres­sion, modification, calculate, matter, manufacture, multiple, reason, tem­perature, mixture, components, logical, historical, pressure, critically, equally, operate, examine, contain, sum, representation, contractor, man­ufacturer, recommend, finally, basis.

My Institute

I’m a civil engineering student at the Shakhty Institute (Branch) of South Russia State Technical University. The institute is situated in the centre of the city. It occupies a big, beautiful five-storeyed building of grey stone. There is a plaque at the entrance in memory of its founders. On weekdays you can see a lot of students in the square in front of the institute.

The institute was founded in 1958. It was established for training engineers for different industries of the country. At present the polytechnic is one of the most important higher schools in the city. Engineers for different branches of industry, economists, lawyers, managers and other specialists are trained at the educational establishment. The high standard of teaching is provided by the skilled teaching staff. The total enrollment is about 5,500 students. The institute is headed by the director.

There are five faculties in the higher educational institution. They are the Faculty of Technology, the Faculty of Machine and Equipment Service, the Faculty of Humanities, Informatics and Management, the Faculty of Extra-mural and Distance Learning and the Centre of Further Training and Qualification Improvement. The head of each faculty is the dean. Each faculty has a group of related departments.

The Faculty of Technology incorporates the departments of mining, mineral dressing, geology and surveying, industrial and civil engineering, technical drawing, mining machines, electrical engineering, physics, automobile engineering and chemistry. The Faculty of Humanities, Informatics and Management comprises the departments of economics and law, management, social sciences, foreign languages, and physical training.

The Faculty of Extra-Mural and Distance Learning is involved with part-time students. Some students attend classes twice a week, others use the Internet in their studies and come to the university twice a year. Part-time students combine studies with work.

The Department of Industrial and Civil Engineering and Construction Materials was established in 1958. At that time it was called the Department of Mine and Underground Construction and trained construction engineers for the mining industry of the country. At present graduates have broader qualifications and work in different branches of the national economy. Civil engineering students study general sciences, humanities and specialized subjects. They take mathematics, physics, chemistry, technical drawing, and computer science. Students also study social sciences and foreign languages. The qualified lecturers deliver lectures on strength of materials, construction engineering, structural design, structural protection, building materials and other disciplines.

The term of full-time tuition is five years. The academic year consists of two terms. The first term starts in September and finishes in December, the second one begins in February and ends in May.

At the end of each term students take credit tests and examinations. The examination periods are in January and June. Those who do well in their exams get grants. Students get professional training in July. They work in offices, banks, mines and on construction sites. Students are on vacation in August.

After completing the course of training and passing final exams young people are qualified as engineers and lawyers, economists, managers. After graduation from the institute they work in banks, plants, mines, design offices and construction companies.

The institute has a lot of lecture-halls, computer rooms, well-equipped laboratories, a gymnasium and a sports ground. There is a library and a reading room runs by professional librarians. The institute has zerox copiers, computers, scanners and printers. Meetings, conferences and concerts are held in the assembly hall.

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio

Marcus Vitruvius Pollio (born c. 80–70 BC, died after c. 15 BC) was a Roman writer, architect and engineer, active in the 1st century BC. He has been called the world's first known engineer.

Little is known about Vitruvius' life. Likely born a free Roman citizen, by his own account Vitruvius served the Roman army under Julius Caesar. As an army engineer, he specialized in the construction of ballista and scorpio artillery war machines for sieges.

Mainly known for his writings, Vitruvius was himself an architect. In Roman times architecture was a broader subject than at present including the modern fields of architecture, construction management, construction engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering, materials engineering, mechanical engineering, military engineering and urban planning.

Vitruvius is the author of De Architectura, known today as The Ten Books on Architecture dedicated to the emperor Augustus. This work is the only surviving major book on architecture from classical antiquity.

De architectura libri decem

As a practising engineer, in his book Vitruvius must be speaking from personal experience rather than simply describing the works of others. He describes the construction of sundials and water clocks, and the use of the first steam engine.

His description of aqueduct construction includes the way they are surveyed, and the careful choice of materials needed. He describes many different construction materials used for a wide variety of different structures, as well as such details as stucco painting.

Vitruvius is well known and often cited as one of the earliest surviving sources to have advised that lead should not be used to conduct drinking water, recommending clay pipes or masonry channels.

Vitruvius gives us the famous story about Archimedes and his detection of adulterated gold in a royal crown. When Archimedes realised that the volume of the crown could be measured exactly by the displacement created in a bath of water, he ran into the street with the cry of Eureka!, and the discovery enabled him to compare the density of the crown with pure gold. He showed that the crown had been alloyed with silver, and the king defrauded.

He describes the construction of Archimedes' screw, although doesn't mention Archimedes by name. It was a device widely used for raising water to irrigate fields and dewater mines. Other lifting machines he mentions include the endless chain of buckets and the water-wheel. Remains of the water wheels used for lifting water have been discovered in old mines in Spain and in west Wales. The former now is shown in the British Museum, and the latter in the National Museum of Wales. The remains were discovered when these mines were re-opened in modern mining attempts.

He describes the many innovations made in building design to improve the living conditions of the inhabitants. Foremost among them is the development of the type of central heating where hot air developed by a fire was channelled under the floor and inside the walls of public baths and villas. He gives explicit instructions how to design such buildings so that fuel efficiency is maximised.

The surviving ruins of Roman antiquity, the Roman Forum, temples, theatres, triumphal arches and their reliefs and statues gave ample visual examples of the descriptions in the Vitruvian text.

sundials ['sAndaIəl] – солнечные часы (pl)

aqueduct ['ækwIdAkt] – акведук

stucco ['stAkəu] – штукатурка

lead [led] – свинец

masonry ['meIsnrI] – каменная кладка

adulterate [ə'dAltəreIt] – фальсифицировать

defraud [dI'frLd] – обманывать

Education of the architect

The architect should be equipped with knowledge of many branches of study and varied kinds of learning. This knowledge is the child of practice and theory. Practice is the continuous and regular exercise of employment where manual work is done with any necessary material according to the design. Theory, on the other hand, is the ability to demonstrate and explain the productions of dexterity on the principles of proportion.

An architect ought to have a knowledge of drawing so that he can readily make sketches to show the appearance of the work which he proposes. Geometry, also, is of much assistance in architecture, and in particular it teaches us the use of the rule and compasses, by which especially we acquire skills in making plans for buildings in their grounds. By means of optics, again, the light in buildings can be drawn from fixed quarters of the sky. It is true that it is by arithmetic that the total cost of buildings is calculated and measurements are computed, but difficult questions involving symmetry are solved by means of geometrical theories and methods.

He ought to be both naturally gifted and able to instruct. Neither natural ability without instruction nor instruction without natural ability can make the perfect artist. Let him be educated, skillful with the pencil, instructed in geometry, know much history, have followed the philosophers with attention, understand music, have some knowledge of medicine, know the opinions of the jurists, and be acquainted with astronomy and the theory of the heavens.

The architect should also have knowledge of the study of medicine on account of the questions of climates, air, the healthiness and unhealthiness of sites, and the use of different waters. And as for principles of law, he should know those which are necessary such as the laws about drains, windows, and water supply. And other things of this sort should be known to architects, so that, before they begin upon buildings, they may be careful not to leave disputed points for the householders to settle after the works are finished, and so that in drawing up contracts the interests of both employer and contractor may be wisely safe-guarded.

As for philosophy, it makes an architect high-minded and not self-assuming, courteous, just, and honest. This is very important, for no work can be rightly done without honesty and incorruptibility.

My Speciality

I am a second-year student at the Shakhty Institute of South Russia State Technical University. My speciality is Industrial and Civil Construction. I specialize in civil engineering.

Civil engineering is a branch of knowledge dealing with planning, design, construction, and repair of roads, bridges, harbours, and public buildings. The term "civil engineering" has been used since the 18^th century, as opposed to military engineering, relating to building fortifications (forts, walls, ditches, etc.) for the armed forces of a country.

People have built houses, churches, canals and paved roads since ancient times. In the past, they used such natural building materials as stone, clay, sand and wood. Later they learn to make brick out of clay and crushed stone out of stone. They also used metals in construction. Modern structural materials are steel, concrete, reinforced concrete, and plastics.

At present, civil engineers build residential, municipal, industrial structures and transport facilities. They use prefabricated elements in the construction of houses, hospitals, office buildings, plants, factories, power stations, etc. Civil engineers are also engaged in building highways, bridges, tunnels, dams, and other structures.

The main duties and requirements of the civil engineer are:

- to conduct preliminary research into feasibility, site, design, construction, and repair of structures;

- to determine the appropriate means of safe and efficient construction;

- to determine and advise on feasible construction methods;

- to design, develop, and implement computer applications for building;

- to select the appropriate structural materials;

- to select building equipment and machinery in collaboration with other engineering specialists;

- to prepare specifications, drawings, and legal documents for carrying out construction projects;

- to plan, organize and supervise construction and repair works;

- to implement and coordinate construction safety programs;

- to commission completed projects.

In Russia, civil engineers are trained in construction departments of polytechnics and technical universities. Students do construction engineering, structural materials, structural design, civil engineering design, engineering design, structural analysis, foundation engineering, structural protection, prefabricated construction, highway engineering, and other subjects.

The quality of education depends on a profound knowledge of state-of-the-art technology, practice and understanding that construction industry must be environment-conscious. Structural works must not pollute the environment: air, water, and land, in which people, animals, and plants live. Modern civil engineers are supposed to use environmentally friendly products, machines, and methods, which can prevent and repair damage done to nature.
