I. GRAMMAR

 

INFINITIVE

Инфинитив – это неличная форма глагола, которая называет действие и в русском языке соответствует неопределенной форме глагола, которая отвечает на вопросы «что делать?» и «что сделать?».

 

to read – читать

to investigate – расследовать

Формальным признаком инфинитива является частица “ to ”.

Инфинитив в предложении может быть:

1. Подлежащим:

(что?)

To detect the criminal is very often not an easy task.

(Разыскать преступника – это часто очень нелегкая задача.)

2. Составной частью сказуемого:

(что делать?)

On of the basic tasks of the police is to maintain order.

(Одна из основных задач милиции – это поддерживать порядок.)

3. Дополнением:

(чему?)

At our Criminalistics classes we are also taught to find evidence.

(На занятиях по криминалистике нас учат также находить улики.)

4. Определением:

(какого?)

I had no intention to commit a crime.

(У меня не было намерения совершить преступление.)

5. Обстоятельством цели: в этом случае инфинитив стоит в начале или конце предложения. Чтобы отличить инфинитив–обстоятельство, стоящее вначале предложения, от инфинитива–подлежащего надо найти сказуемое и по нему определить подлежащее. Кроме того, инфинитив–обстоятельство можно перенести в конец предложения без потери предложением структуры и смысла.

To reduce the risk theyevacuated everybody from the danger zone.

(Чтобы уменьшить риск, они эвакуировали всех из опасной зоны.)

 

Инфинитив имеет формы залога (Active, Passive), а также формы времени (Indefinite, Continuous,

Perfect).

	Active	Passive
Indefinite	To ask	To be asked
Continuous	To be asking	–
Perfect	To have asked	To have been asked
Perfect Continuous	To have been asking	–

 

Наиболее распространенными являются формы Indefinite Infinitive Active и Passive.

Остальные формы инфинитива встречаются значительно реже.

 

Ex. 1. A: Read the sentences, find Infinitive and translate the sentences into Russian.

1. He wanted to be present at the trial.

2. To know everything is to know nothing.

3. The criminal waited for the judge to pass a sentence.

4. It is important to begin investigating a crime as soon as possible.

5. A man is never too old to learn (Middleton).

6. To begin prosecution it is necessary to have evidence establishing (устанавливающий) the fact of the

crime having been committed.

B: Pay attention to the difference in the function of Infinitive and translate the sentences into Russian.

1. To decrease crime in our society is necessary nowdays.

2. To decrease crime in our society you are to do much preventive work.

3. To understand the actions of the criminal the operative is to examine the crime scene properly.

4. To understand the actions of the investigator is difficult sometimes.

5. To get all the necessary information an operative is to do much work.

6. To get all the necessary information was very difficult in that case.

7. In order to prove the case the operative and the investigator were to interrogate many witnesses.

8. To prove that case was not a simple matter.

 

PASSIVE INFINITIVE

в функции определения

 

Пассивный инфинитив, стоящий после существительного, обычно переводится придаточным предложением с оттенком модальности, в котором действие, выраженное инфинитивом, совершается над лицом или предметом, к которому оно относится.

The case to be investigated by this young officer is rather difficult.

Дело, которое должно быть расследовано этим молодым следователем, довольно трудное.

 

Ex. 2. Read the sentences. Find Passive Infinitive and translate the sentences into Russian.

1. The evidence to be found at a crime scene is very important for the investigation.

2. The report to be written by the investigator must include all the facts collected during the investigation.

3. The crime to be investigated by Scotland Yard occurred on the Thames.

4. The crime case to be tried by our district court next week is much spoken of in our city.

5. He spoke of the problems to be settled in the nearest future.

6. The article to be discussed by the students is about the American Constitution.

 

COMPLEX SUBJECT

(Сложное подлежащее или Именительный падеж с инфинитивом)

 

Подлежащее (существительное или местоимение) с инфинитивом, стоящим после сказуемого, выраженного одним из глаголов, to know (знать), to suppose (предполагать), to believe (полагать), to see (видеть), to hear (слышать), to say (говорить), to report (сообщать), to seem (казаться), to happen (случаться) и др., в страдательном залоге представляет собой оборот «именительный падеж с инфинитивом» или «сложное подлежащее». Перевод предложения со сложным подлежащим следует начинать со сказуемого, которое переводится на русский язык безличным или неопределенно–личным предложением (говорят, известно, считают, полагают, кажется, случается и т. п.); в придаточном предложении инфинитив становится сказуемым. Придаточное предложение в большинстве случаев вводится союзом «что».

2 1 3

Our laws are known to protect the interests of all the people.

 

Известно, что наши законызащищают интересы всех граждан.

Ex.5. Read the text, find sentences with Complex Subject and translate them into Russian. What are the main attributes of a policeman?

 

The Policeman in the United States

Nothing is more difficult than being a police officer nowadays. The policeman is supposed to solve family disputes, enforce hundreds of laws, identify the suspected criminal when little or no evidence exists. This work requires a variety of skills and abilities.

A policeman should be a guardian of law and order and he has the greatest responsibility in the society. In the United States the policeman is considered to be a public servant. The policeman has a difficult job, because he is to tell people what they cannot be. It is very difficult to perform this function and maintain the image of respect and friendliness. People don’t like this. The image of the police is not good today. It is very important that every police officer recognizes his role in developing the police image. The police officer should be courteous (вежливый, учтивый), truly interested in the welfare of others and should possess broad knowledge. Sincere (искренний) interest will communicate to those people with whom he comes in contact.

Police in the United States

The United States inherited England’s common law and its system of policing. The colonists had the night watch under constables, with all able-bodied men over 16 serving without pay. Most cities and towns used this system well into the 19^th century.

The use of daytime police started in Boston in 1838 with a force of 6 men. In Boston and New York the old night watch and the day force continued, with the mayor in charge of day force and the constable in charge of night watchmen. In 1844 New York City created the first police department in the United States, using the London Metropolitan Police as a model. Boston and Philadelphia followed. The model for American police originated in England: police were organized in a quasi-military command structure; there were no detectives; their task was prevention of crime and disorder.

There are five major types of police agencies:

1) the federal system, consisting of agencies attached to the Department of Justice (the Federal Bureau of Investigation, together with 700 U.S. marshals), the Bureau of Internal Revenue (investigating tax invasions), the U.S. Secret Service, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Postal Inspection Service, and many others. Their task is to enforce federal laws.

2) the police forces and criminal investigation agencies established by each of the 50 states of the union. State police is headed by commissioner superintendent who is usually appointed by the governor of the state. The mission of the state police is to preserve law and order, to enforce criminal, traffic and regulatory laws, and to provide security and safety services;

3) sheriffs and deputy sheriffs in more than 3,000 counties, plus a few county police forces. The county sheriff is elected to office and employs a staff of deputies performing duties as uniformed policemen. The sheriff is also responsible for prisoners kept in the county jails;

4) the police forces of about 1,000 cities and more than 20,000 townships and New England towns. Town and city police are municipal agencies;

5) the police of some 15,000 villages, boroughs, and incorporated towns.

To this list must be added special categories, such as the police of the District of Columbia; various forces attached to authorities governing bridges, tunnels, parks and parkways; university police forces; and some units for policing special districts formed for the protection, soil conservation and other purposes.

The above-mentioned police forces are controlled in different ways. The federal bodies are responsible to the federal authorities, and the state forces – to the governors of their states. At local levels there are variations. States are divided into counties, and every county has its sheriff with responsibilities for the investigation of crime and the supervision of the custody of prisoners. In some states there are county police forces under the control of county boards. In some places county police forces are completely independent of the sheriff’s office.

John Edgar Hoover

John Edgar Hoover was born in 1855. He was a native of Washington, D.C. He went to school there and then to George Washington University where he studied law. As a student he was brilliant and had a great choice after graduating from the University. But Hoover got a job in the Department of Justice. Very soon they sent him to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. That was in 1924 when J.E. Hoover was forty.

For many years he was the head of the FBI and made it the world’s greatest law enforcement organization. He opened a technical and scientific laboratory, identification division, set up a lot of training schools. He was also the initiator of the National Police Academy where he taught as the chief instructor. John Hoover had a photographic mind: he called agents by their first name; he remembered all investigations and their results.

He said: “The main task of the FBI is the protection of people against crime”. As to his personal life, he had no time to get married. When he was not busy with his service in the FBI, he usually went fishing or hunting. Hoover played tennis very well. He also liked good music.

Training Division

Training Division

All FBI Agents are trained at facilities in Washington, D. C., and at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Today, the new Agents receive fourteen weeks of instruction. Two-week retraining courses are held periodically for all Agents. Although the theory of the various law enforcement arts and sciences is taught, the greater emphasis is placed on those practical skills and techniques demanded by day-to-day investigation.

The courses range from the Constitution and Federal Criminal Procedure to Investigative Techniques and the Collection, Identification and Preservation of Physical Evidence. Thorough training is given in firearms and defensive tactics in order that an agent may defend himself in those extreme situations where life may be in danger. The Training Division also provides instructors for thousands police schools conducted by local enforcement agencies in communities across the Nation.

1. facilities – оборудование

2. retraining courses – курсы переподготовки

FBI National Academy

The FBI National Academy has long been a vital element in the continuing improvement of law enforcement standards, knowledge, and cooperation throughout the world.

The program has enjoyed a world-wide reputation among international law enforcement and 1,689 officers representing 120 foreign countries have taken advantage of this training program.

Following graduation each officer has the opportunity to join the FBI National Academy Associates, a dynamic organization of more than 25,000 law enforcement professionals who have played a significant role in developing a higher level of competency, cooperation, and integrity within the law enforcement community.

HOMONYMS

Омонимы

Омоним (греч. homónyma, от homós – одинаковый и ónyma – имя), одинаково звучащие единицы языка, в значении которых (в отличие от значений многозначных единиц) нет общих семантических элементов. Лексические омонимы возникают: вследствие звукового совпадения различных по происхождению слов, например, «рысь» (бег) и «рысь» (животное); в результате полного расхождения значений многозначного слова, например, «мир» (вселенная) и «мир» (отсутствие войны, вражды); при параллельном словообразовании от той же основы, например, «тройка» (лошадей) и «тройка» (отметка). Понимание омонимов определяется контекстом, однако отсутствие у омонимов общих семантических элементов делает невозможным совмещение их значений.

Case – 1) something that has happened (случай);

2) a question or problem that will be dealt with by a law court (дело);

3) an example of a particular situation, problem, etc. (случай, пример);

4) a large box or container in which things can be stored or moved (ящик);

5) the way in which the form of the word changes, showing its relationship to other words in a sentence (падеж).

Criminal – 1) related to or connected with crime (преступный, уголовный);

2) someone who is involved in illegal activity or has been proved guilty of a crime (престкпник).

 

CONVERSION

Конверсия

Приконверсииот существительного слова без изменения его звуковой или графической формы образуется новое слово, относящееся к другой части речи. В современном английском языке от существительного с конкретным значением могут быть образованы глаголы, причем последние иногда изменяются по значению, а иногда переводятся описательно, например: place – место, to place – помещать, land – земля, to land – приземляться, садиться на землю.

 

Criminal (adj.) – related to or connected with crime (преступный, уголовный).

The boy has shown criminal tendencies since his early childhood.

Мальчик проявлял преступные наклонности с раннего детства.

Criminal (n) - someone who is involved in illegal activity or has been proved guilty of a crime (престкпник).

My suspicious neighbour turned out to be a real criminal.

Мой подозрительный сосед оказался настоящим преступником.

В некоторых случаях при переходе глагола в существительное происходит и перенос ударения:

Con` ٰ duct – to carry out a particular process, especially in order to get information or prove facts (проводить).

The company conducted a survey to find out local reaction to the leisure centre.

Компанияпровела исследование, чтобы узнать отношение местного населения к развлекательному центру.

ٰ` Conduct - the way someone behaves, especially in public, in their job, etc. (поведение).

The reporter was accused of unprofessional conduct.

Репортёр был обвинен в непрфессиональном поведении.

Sus′pect – to think that someone is probably guilty (подозревать).

She strongly suspected her husband of murder.

Она настойчиво подозревала своего мужа в убийстве.

′Suspect – someone who is thought to be guilty of a crime (подозреваемый).

Two suspects were arrested today in connection with the robbery.

Двое подозреваемых были арестованы сегодня в связи с грабежом.

PHRASAL VERBS

Составные глаголы

Составной глагол – это сочетание, состоящее из двух компонентов, написанных раздельно. Первый компонент такого сочетания является глаголом, а второй – словообразовательным элементом (послелогом), придающим глаголу новое значение: to carry – нести; to carry out – выполнять.

Послелоги по внешнему виду полностью совпадают с предлогами (out, up, on, etc.), поэтому их часто пытаются перевести отдельно, что приводит к ошибкам. Следует помнить, что составные глаголы переводятся на русский язык одним словом и в словаре их следует искать в гнезде глаголов, e.g.: carry (v) – нести; ~ out - выполнять.

Некоторые предлоги изменяют полностью значение глагола:

e.g. to carry – нести; to carry out – выполнять.

Другие послелоги лишь уточняют или дополняют значение глагола:

e.g. to work – работать; to work out – разрабатывать.

Признаки составных глаголов:

1) наличие предлога, стоящего после послелога:

e.g. to carry out with the help … - выполнять при помощи …;

2) местоположение послелога в конце предложения:

e.g. The mission is to be carried out. – Эта задача должна быть выполнена.

Police Service

Policemen and policewomen today have to deal with very serious problems such as continuing crime, drug misuse, terrorism as well as a number of other problems like relations with ethnic communities and an increasingly complex society.

The civilian police are responsible in Britain for the maintenance of law and order. The duties of the police are varied, ranging from assisting at accidents to safeguarding public order and dealing with lost property. One their main function is, of course, the control of crime.

Though the duties and functions of the British police are broadly similar to many other countries, it is organised very differently in that Britain has no national police force controlled by central government.

The oldest police force in Britain is the Metropolitan Police which was founded in 1829 by Sir Robert Peel to combat crime in London, and from which the modern forces have grown.

Outside London the police are all local forces, there are 52 separate police forces for each area (43 in England and Wales, eight in Scotland and one in Northern Ireland), which corresponds either to county council or to regional areas. Each regional force has a local police authority – a police committee of local councillors and magistrates, which are charged with law enforcement in their localities. In the 41 police areas outside London, they normally have 17 members – nine locally elected councillors, three magistrates and five independent members. The professional head of each regional force is the Chief Constable, who is responsible for all operational and administrative decisions including the actions of the force. The police authorities, in consultation with the chief constables and local community, set local policing objectives, while the Government sets key objectives for the police as a whole.

The Home Secretary and the Scottish and Northern Ireland Secretaries, together with police authorities and chief constables, are responsible for providing an efficient police service in the UK.

The Metropolitan Police zone of operation covers Greater London, and is currently under the direct responsibility of the Home Secretary, although the Government has put forward proposals for a new body with a majority of elected representatives. The “Met” as it is popularly called, also provides certain national police services, including the maintenance of a national record of all criminals and crimes, to which local police forces may refer. The famous “Scotland Yard” is the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), which gets its popular name from the New Scotland Yard, where its offices are situated.

The central government gives the local authorities grants towards the cost of policing. Inspectors from the Home Office direct and control the local forces, reporting to the Home Secretary who can approve and disapprove the appointments and removals of Chief Constables, but the actions of a local police force are normally not the responsibility of any minister.

There are over 150,000 policemen and policewomen in the UK, which means one officer for every 400 people in the total population.

5. staff, n – штат

6. to be charged with, v – вменять в обязанности, возлагать ответственность

7. subversive, adj. – подрывной

8. criminal record office – отдел криминалистического учета

9. fingerprint department – дактилоскопический отдел

Scotland Yard

Though Scotland Yard is in fact the headquarters of Metropolitan Police Force, the name is almost always associated with the Criminal Investigation Department (C. I. D.) of the Metropolitan Police. The C. I.D. was set up in 1878. The name Scotland Yard comes from the fact that originally there was a palace used by the Scottish kings and their ambassadors when they visited London.

Later the palace was replaced by the building of the Metropolitan Police. But the name of Scotland Yard sticked to it.

The Criminal Investigation Department consists of about 1.500 detectives, of which 1.300 do ordinary detective work. The remaining 200 detectives work in the Special Branch, which in many respects is national first, because it has a staff at every airport and seaport, and secondly, because it is charged with protecting very important persons (VIPs) and dealing with actions which may be regarded as subversive to the state.

Other branches of the C. I. D. which operate on a nation wide scale are as follows:

1) the criminal record office, which is the only office in the country that maintains a central record of all criminals.

2) the fingerprint department, which by status, maintains all fingerprint records.

3) the flying squad, which is used all over the country by chief constables when necessary.

Although the C. I. D. usually operates on a nation wide scale it can go to the help of a provincial police force only if it is invited. In serious cases it is usually invited.

 

Task 3. Listen to the text.

 

Bobbies

Before 1829, there were no police anywhere in Britain. In that year, the Prime Minister, Robert Peel, set up a force in London; they were often called bobbies, and the nickname is still occasionally used today. (Bobby is the familiar form of the name Robert).

There was considerable resistance to the idea of a permanent police force, rather than groups of citizens brought together to deal with particular problems. The early 19^th century was a time of political unrest in Britain as elsewhere in Europe, and workers suspected (rightly, as it turned out) that the police would be used against them. A writer named J. P. Smith warned in 1812 that the police would mean: “... a system of tyranny; an organized army of spies and informers, for the destruction of all public liberty, and the disturbance of all private happiness.”

There is no national police service in Britain. Each region has its own independent service; for example, the west Midlands Police, Devon and Cornwall Police, or (in London) the Metropolitan Police. If there are serious complaints about one service, an officer from another service is brought to investigate.

I. GRAMMAR

 

THE PFSSIVE VOICE

Залог выражает отношение между подлежащим и сказуемым в предложении. В английском языке, как и в русском, существует два залога – действительный (Active Voice) и страдательный (Passive Voice).

Глагол-сказуемое в действительном залоге показывает, что подлежащее предложения само совершает действие, выраженное глаголом:

I speak English. – Я говорю по-английски.

I asked questions. – Я задавал вопросы.

Глагол-сказуемое в страдательном залоге показывает, что подлежащее предложения является объектом действия, выраженного глаголом:

English is spoken all over the world. – На английском языке говорят во всём мире.

I was asked a few questions. – Мне задали несколько вопросов.

Формы глагола в страдательном залоге образуются с помощью вспомогательного глагола to be в соответствующем времени и числе и причастия прошедшего времени (Participle II) смыслового глагола.

 

	Simple	Continuous	Perfect
Present	is(are)investigated– расследуе(-ю-)тся	is (are)being investigated - расследуе(-ю-)тся (сейчас)	have (has)been investigated – был(и) расследован(ы) (уже)
Past	was (were) investigated - расследовался, был расследован	was(were) being investigated - расследовался (-лись) (в определенный момент в прошлом)	had been investigated - был(и) расследован(ы) (к какому-то моменту в прошлом)
Future	will be investigated – будет расследован(ы)	________	will have been investigated - будет (будут) расследован(ы) (к какому-то моменту в будущем)

 

Страдательный залог употребляется в следующих случаях:

1)Когда неизвестно (неважно или непонятно из контекста), кто выполнил действие:

The Parthenon was built in the 5^th century BC (Before Christ). – Парфенон был построен в 5 веке до нашей эры.

2)Когда само действие важнее, чем тот, кто выполняет его (часто используется в газетных статьях, рекламных объявлениях, инструкциях, новостях):

Two teenagers were seriously injured in a car accident last night. - Двое подростков были серьезно ранены в ДТП прошлой ночью.

С конструкцией в страдательном залоге используются два предлога – by (если указано, кем произведено действие) и with ( если указано,чем произведено действие):

America was discovered by Columbus. – Америка была открыта Колумбом.

The victim was killed with a knife. – Потерпевшего убили ножом.
