6.3.2
Could Hear • The subcorpus: American Fiction after 1950 • The occurrences of could hear: 190 Could hear in not as frequent as could see is. On the other hand, 190 examples are enough to work on it and find some ideas. I mix all instances in the subcorpus and I have a peep at 100 of them. (232) But of course no one could hear her. (BHD) Philosophical Faculty, Palacký University Olomouc 67 Nikdo ji samozřejmě nemohl slyšet. (233) I wished Mordecai could hear him. (GSL) Přál jsem si, aby to tak mohl slyšet Mordecai. (234) No one could hear what he and Dorrie said to one another through the door, but he remained in that vulnerable position for what seemed to her an eternity. (BHD) Nikdo nemohl zaslechnout, o čem s Dorriem přes dveře mluvili, ale jí připadalo, že zůstává v téhle zranitelné pozici hotovou věčnost. These three sentences (3%) are the only examples of could hear with the primary meaning. 97% of occurrences give different equivalents. The most common counterpart is heard, which is the past form of hear. Other options are also available. (235) He could hear his mother's voice. (BAD) V duchu slyšel matčin hlas. [He heard his mother's voice in his thoughts.] (236) Dr. Lecter could hear the holes they made in the echoes of the music. (HSL) Dr. Lecter slyšel díry, které svými kroky dělali do hudební ozvěny.

(CT) Za sebou slyšela španělské nadávky a rachot porážených židlí. [Behind her she heard cursing in Spanish and the crashing of chairs.] (238) But through the door she could hear the voice of that woman deejay Janey listened to when she was in one of her mellow moods. (BHD) Přes dveře k ní ale dolehl hlas té moderátorky, kterou Janey poslouchala, když byla ve smířlivější náladě. [But through the door the voice of that woman deejay, who Janey listened to when she was in one of her mellow moods, reached her ears.] Philosophical Faculty, Palacký University Olomouc 68 (239) He could hear from her description of it how deeply she had delved into herself to do it and how painful it must have been. (SSC) Z jejích vyprávění pochopil, jak hluboko pronikal do svého nitra i jak bolestné to pro ni muselo být. [He understood from her description o fit how deeply she had delved into herself …] The percentage of the occurrences of could hear shows that modality is highly limited and I can see the same results with could see. It is obvious that the translators do not quote could by its primary meaning and it is usually replaced by the past form of certain verbs. Download 0.6 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
