TARGET PATTERNS

1. a) Such criticism, when well-founded and constructive, is in no way demeaning for the willingness to accept it and learn from it is one mark of a mature individual. - Та критика, которая хорошо обоснована и конструктивна, никоим образом не унизительна, поскольку желание признать ее и извлечь из этого урок – признак зрелой личности. b) A democracy, however, cannot afford to transform its educational system into a Causus-race, for the success of a democracy depends in great part upon the understanding and capability of its citizens. - В демократическом обществе нельзя позволить себе превращать систему образования в объект предвыборной гонки, поскольку успех демократии в большей степени зависит от самосознания и способностей его граждан.
2. Never have so many spent so long learning so little. - Никогда не было столь много затрат на то, чтобы выучить так мало.
3. It is painful to have one’s ignorance exposed and frustrating to be baffled by intellectual subtleties. - Всегда болезненно воспринимается интеллектуальное невежество и бывает унизительно, когда вас загоняют в тупик.
4. a) And that he means well is no reason why he should not be criticized for an inadequate performance. - И даже если он понимает все правильно, почему его не следует критиковать за плохое выполнение. b) But in both cases the joy is a result of overcoming genuine chellengers and cannot be experienced without toil. - И в обоих случаях радость является результатом преодоления настоящих трудностей, и не может быть достигнута без тяжелого труда.
5. The urge to tell the world the truth is more widespread than the urge to lay bare one’s pain over having been jilted by Amanda Simpkins of Fleet Street. Потребность сказать миру правду возникает чаще, чем потребность высказать наболевшее по поводу обмана, совершенного Амандой Симпкинс с Флит стрит.
6. a) When moved to explain, they sometimes tell you that you can become a good writer very simply. Когда их заставляют объяснить, они иногда говорят, что можно очень просто стать хорошим писателем. b) By taking himself seriously, this blighted half genius became the nightmare of editors. Относясь к себе серьезно, этот разочарованный полугений стал кошмаром для издателей.  
7. a) Had O’Henry been allowed to publish his stories in the form he wrote them, he would have been the laughing-stock of the world. Если бы О’Генри разрешали публиковать рассказы в том виде, в котором он их писал, он бы стал посмешищем для всего мира. b) If I could, I’d make you buy several thousand sheets to fit into loose-leaf notebook covers. Если бы я мог, я бы заставил вас купить несколько тысяч листов бумаги, чтобы вставить их в блокнот с отрывными листами.  
8. a) The best writers (whom I define as the upper ten percent of the entire group) spontaneously produce from three to twenty times as much as the average writers. Лучшие авторы (как я считаю это 10 процентов от всего количества писателей) с легкостью пишут от 3 до 20 раз больше, чем авторы средних способностей. b) The best writers are almost wholly wrapped up in saying what they have to say Лучшие писатели очень озабочены тем, какими словами им выразить то, что необходимо сказать. c) Having little or no pressure driving them to give form to a large idea, they slow down. Не испытывая или редко испытывая потребность придать форму большой идее, они замедляют темп.
