precisely

precisely
PRECISELY
В современном английском языке precisely встречается и как наречие, и как частица. При употреблении в качестве наречия оно отвечает на вопрос как?, относится к глаголу и переводится, в частности, русским сочетанием в точности:

• "You could precisely quantify the influence of Shakespeare on T.S. Eliot." (DL: 51)


"Вы могли бы в точности измерить влияние Шекспира на Элиота."


Как частица precisely выполняет функцию идентификации и, подобно частице exactly, переводится обычно русскими частицами именно и как раз:

• At precisely that moment, Persse became aware of the presence of another person in the room. (DL: 171)


Как раз / именно в этот момент Пэрс понял, что в комнате присутствует ещё кто-то.


• ... Orsini was precisely the type of refugee whom Napoleon during his Windsor visit in 1855 had vainly begged Queen Victoria to expel. (EL: 351)


... Орсини принадлежал именно к той категории эмигрантов, которых Наполеон III во время своего посещения Виндзора в 1855 году безуспешно просил Викторию выдворить из страны.


Когда указанная частица употребляется с указанием на точное время, ее эквивалентом выступает ровно:

• At 5 a.m., precisely, Morris Zapp is woken by the bleeping of his digital wristwatch... (DL: 83)


Ровно в пять часов утра Морриса Зэпа разбудил писк электронных часов-будильника на руке.
