16. Инфинитив (the Infinitive) относится к неличным формам глагола. Называя действие он не указывает ни лица, ни числа, ни наклонения. Формальным признаком инфинитива является частица to, которая в некоторых случаях опускается. К именным свойствам инфинитива относится его способность быть в предложении:

1) подлежащим, 2) частью сказуемого, 3)дополнением, 4)определением, 5)обстоятельством. В функции подлежащего инфинитив переводится на русский язык инфинитивом или существительным.

To build good roads is one of the most important tasks facing our engineers. - Строительство хороших дорог – одна из наиболее важных задач, стоящих перед нашими инженерами.

В функции именной части составного сказуемого инфинитив употребляется в сочетании с глаголом-связкой to be, которая переводится на русский язык словами «являться, заключаться в том чтобы, состоять в том чтобы». Сам инфинитив переводится инфинитивом или существительным.

The object is to provide low pressure. – Цель заключается в том, чтобы создать низкое давление.

В функции дополнения инфинитив переводится на русский язык инфинитивом.

We endeavored to minimize the old disadvantages. – Мы стремились довести до минимума ранее имевшие место недостатки.

Инфинитив или инфинитивная группа, стоящая после сущиствительного, к которому она относится, выступает правым определением к существительному:

The size of the gathering line depends on the volume of crude to be moved, pipeline length and other factors.

Размер сборного трубопровода зависит от объема сырой нефти, который должен быть (будет) перекачен по трубопроводу, и от других факторов.

На русский язык правое определение, выраженное инфинитивом, переводится обычно придаточным предложением с союзом «который». Сказуемое такого предложения переводится глаголом, выражающим долженствование, возможность или глаголом в форме будущего времени.

Инфинитив – обстоятельство цели.

Отвечает на вопросы «для какой цели?», «для чего?» и на русский язык переводится неопределенной формой глагола с союзом «для того, чтобы (чтобы)» или существительным с предлогом «для». Инфинитив – обстоятельство цели может стоять в начале предложения перед подлежащим или ближе к концу предложения (после сказуемого или дополнения).

THE SEARCH FOR OIL

When men first began to seek petroleum, the easiest way to find it was to look for evidence of oil seeps on the earth’s surface. Generally, oil seeps are either up-dips or seepage along a fracture. Observation of seeps has led to the discovery of many of the world’s great oil fields in the U. S., the Middle East, Venezuela, and at other points on the globe.

Indeed, the search for oil begins with geologists and geophysicists using their knowledge of the earth to locate geographic areas that are likely to contain reservoir rock. Once such a “likely area” is found, then more specific tests and investigations are made and the information gained from these is used to construct “maps” of the earth’s substructure. By 1920 it was found that looking for domes, seeps and anticlines on the surface maps was not sufficient. Thus geophysical methods were devised that gave the searchers an idea of what lay beneath the surface.

The first method developed was the torsion balance, followed closely by the seismograph. With the seismograph, subsurface structures can be deduced by measuring the transit times of sound waves generated by an explosion. Other tools developed for use by geophysicists are gravity meters and magnetometers. Another space age technique is remote sensing.

But of course, the basic tool in any search for oil is a knowledge of the earth itself – how it was formed , its composition and its present configuration. It is not enough though, to merely become aware of the existence of an oil accumulation at a given location. Before investing what may be millions of dollars, the operator needs to know if the well will be commercially feasible, or simply stated, will he recover his investment and perhaps make a profit? Not every well drilled today is assured of a rich strike. There are still many dusters, but modern techniques lessen the risk. However, a great many steps must be taken between exploration and actual drilling.

22. Ответьте на следующие вопросы:

1. What was the easiest way to find oil? 2. What has observation of seeps led to? 3. What does the search for oil begin with? 4. How are maps of the earth’s substructure constructed? 5. When and why were geophysical methods of prospecting devised? 6. Can you name the main geophysical methods and tools? 7. What is the basic tool in any search for oil? 8. What is it necessary to know before investing millions of dollars into a well? 9. Why must one take a great many steps between exploration and actual drilling?

Oil in Siberia

The oil and gas deposits in Siberia are unique in their size. Their importance increases greatly if we consider the fact that the Siberia discoveries took place at a time when many oil and gas reservoirs in the old and new worlds had become greatly depleted. The demand for oil and gas is growing quickly as a whole.

At a time of such high demand for oil Siberia is regarded as a supplier of this raw material and fuel. Siberian oil serves as raw material for large petrochemical combines in Novosibirsk, Tobolsk, Omsk.

Discovery of oil in Siberia simplifies the development of a number of districts including the Trans-Urals, Extreme North and Far East. Prospects have opened up for the rapid development of petrochemistry. One Siberian oilworker said: “when we struck the first well at the now famous Samotlor field, we saw not a black fountain but a blossoming land; the cold land of Siberia warmed by our oil and labour”.

Student: We are interested in Russian oil and gas potential and we are going to ask you

some questions.

Teacher: All right. You may put questions to me and I’ll try to answer them.

Student: Well, what can you say about oil and gas deposits in Russia?

Teacher: As far as I know our country has unique oil and gas deposits. New discoveries

come thick and fast.

Student: Where are the largest of them located?

Teacher: You see, the largest have been those of the West Siberian gas fields, mainly in the Tyumen region, in the Komi Autonomous Republic, and near Orenburg.

26. Английский юмор:

Two students’ father were talking about their children. One of them said: “When my son went to college, it took him three years to get his BS.”

The second father smiled: “ That’s nothing. When my daughter went to college, it took her two years to get a Ph. D.”

“How could she get a Ph. D. in only two years?”

Father said complacently “ She married him”.

1) BS – Bachelor of Science – бакалавр наук

2) Ph. D. – Doctor of Philosophy – доктор философии

3) complacently – самодовольно

The professor was delivering the final lecture of the term. He stressed the fact that each student should devote all the time that he has to preparing for the final examinations.

“The examination papers are now in the hands of the printer. Are there any questions?”

There was a silence. Suddenly a voice from the back seat asked: “Who’s the printer?”

Which Is Best

Two men with their sons in college were talking things over. “My boy is certainly getting smart in the language”, boasted one, “his letters always send me to the dictionary”.

“You are lucky”, growled the other, “my boy’s letters always send me to the bank”.

предложения на русский язык.

1. The only way to get underground oil is to make a deep hole, called a borehole, or a well, through the rock, earth and sand. 2. The steel framework over the well is called a derrick. 3. From this the machinery that drills the hole is raised and lowered. 4. The technique of well drilling is first mentioned in ancient Chinese manuscripts, which describe wells drilled as early as the 3rd century A.D. 5. The wells were drilled with a heavy bit, which was raised up and down by several of men jumping on a spring board. 6. In Russia the first oil well was drilled in 1856 by a Russian engineer A.F. Semenov. 7. At around the same time oil wells were also being drilled in other places. 8. All these wells were drilled by the cable tool method. 9. The cable tool system was essentially a method of making a hole by repeated blows with a bit attached to a “drill stem”, a heavy length of steel suspended from a wire rope. 10. The hole was kept empty except for a little water at the bottom. 11. Steel pipes known as casing were run from time to time to prevent the hole from caving. 12. No means was provided for stemming the flow of oil and gas when encountered under pressure. 13. The present-day method of drilling, known as the “rotary method”, was invented at around the turn of the century. 14. With this method, the bit is attached to the bottom of a string of steel pipes and rotated by means of a rotary table. 15. “Drilling fluid” or “drilling mud” is continuously circulated down through the hollow drilling string, through the bit and back up to the surface through the annular space between drilling string and borehole wall. 16. The drilling fluid, by the weight of its column, holds the fluids under pressure in formations penetrated by the bit, thus greatly reducing the risk of blow out. 17. A variant of rotary drilling is known as “turbo-drilling”. 18. With this method the pipe is not rotated but is kept stationary, and the bit is rotated on bottom by means of a fluid motor or turbine powered by the mud stream.

Ancient Chinese manuscripts describe wells drilled as early as the 3rd century A.D. to tap underground strata for brine. 3. The petroleum industry is traditionally considered to have been born in 1859. 4. Steel pipes known as casing were run from time to time to prevent the hole from caving and to keep back any water flow. 5. However, the method has some application where high-grade steel is difficult to obtain.
