Tatiana, "stop backing" doesn't make sense here

Jane Aadded a comment 8 years ago

спасибо!

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

Хм, а что это тогда значит?)

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

The verb to back means to support an organization financially. "We urge all American investors to stop backing companies with links to organized crime."

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

Talgat, I like all your translations except the one about hanging back. I can't imagine anybody really saying that in any situation.

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

Ага, спасибо! Но ведь back up - тоже "поддердивать", только морально. Или я ошибаюсь?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

"back up" means to corroborate someone's story: If they ask you why your late, tell them you couldn't start your car and I'll back you up. (=I'll tell them it's true)

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

Улий, спасибо! Значит, back up - это (1) пятиться (2) подтверждать как в твоём примере и (3) поддерживать back up a candidate/the decision (?).
А вот back - поддерживать финансово.

Back a candidate

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

Поддерживать кандидата финансами - to back a candidate, а поддерживать морально, быть готовым голосовать за него - to back up нельзя говорить? Словарь опять врёт. To support a candidate ?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

I've always heard that financially speaking, as well as in terms of moral support, you back a candidate. Back up a candidate, sounds very strange to me. Usually back up means to provide proof for something. So a candidate could back up his words, promises with actions, etc. but I've never heard of backing up a candidate.

Всё поняла, спасибо большое. Ссылку на бестолковый словарь, думаю, нет смысла давать. Откуда только они примеры берут?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 8 years ago

Бог знает

Tatiana Gerasimenkoadded a comment 8 years ago

Нет, просто любопытно! Ну не выдумывают же они их. Это могут быть устаревшие или контекстные значения? Вопрос, скорее, риторический)
