addan tbb tmt is j mondatokkal bvtettnk), a HCB-hez egy Nyelvtani segdlet is kszlt.
A Nyelvtani segdlet a hagyomnyos nyelvknyvek s nyelvtanok rendszerezstl eltr,

Ksznjk a HCB tdolgozott kiadshoz nyjtott segtsget Hofgard Katinak, Medgyes Pter-

Bevezet

A Huron's Checkbook (HCB) eredeti angol mondatok gyjtemnye. Az angol mondatokat mindig a bal oldali hasbban, a magyar fordtsukat a jobb oldali hasbban tallod.
A kzel 8000 pldamondatot az angol nyelvtan tmi szerint csoportostottuk. A 3-S. oldalon
felsoroljuk ezeket a tmkat.
A 147 nyelvtani tmt megtoldottuk egy-kt hasznosnak gondolt listval (rendhagy igk s
fnevek, igei s fnvi vonzatok stb.). Ezek a listk a 281. oldalon kezddnek.
A HCB lelke az Index (305. oldal). A ktnyelv index akkor is segt, ha mg nem tudod, hogy
milyen nyelvtani tma (cm) alatt keresd a tged rdekl mondatokat.
Az egy-egy tmn belli keresst a vastag bets kulcsszavakkal segtjk. Ezek a kulcsszavak a
betrendes Indexben is megtallhatk.

A nyelvi anyagrl
A mondatkorpusz sszelltsakor mindenki ltal hozzfrhet, autentikus (eredeti), brit angol
rott s beszlt nyelvi forrsokat hasznltunk.
A mondatok kivlasztsnl a korszer nyelvtanok ltal helyesnek elfogadott legmodernebb nyelvhasznlatot kvettk.
A szerkezet alapveten az angol nyelvtani rendszerezshez igazodik. Ezt igyekeztnk a kiemelt magyar kulcsszavakkal, az indexszel, a hivatkozsokkal s az angolul tanulkra jellemz tipikus hibk kiemelsvel a lehet legknnyebben hasznlhatv tenni a magyar nyelvtanulk szmra.
A HCB-ben -a tipikus hibkat pldz thzott mondatokat kivve- csak helyes mondatok
vannak, de termszetesen nincs benne minden helyes mondat. Vagyis, a HCB csak azt lltja: ez
gy biztosanj-azt nem mondja, hogy nem lehetsges mskppen is.

A mondatok fordtsrl
Valsznleg nincs olyan mondat, amelynek egyrtelmen csak egy bizonyos megfelelje ltez-

het egy msik nyelvben.

Egy mondatot egy adott nyelven szvegkrnyezettl fggen gyakran eleve tbbflekppen rthetnk. Ha azt halljuk, hogy meghztk a margt, legalbb hromfle trtnsre gondolhatunk.
Ha pl. angoira fordtunk, el kell kteleznnk magunkat valamelyik vltozat mellett. Az az angol
mondat viszont, hogy Kim liked her betterthan anybody else., rdekes mdon "ugyangy" ktrtelm, mint a magyar Kim jobban szerette t brki msnl. Radsul a beszl- lelkillapottl, cljaitl, a krnyezettl stb. fggen - egy adott mondanivalhoz is sokfle forma kzl
vlaszthat. (Ilike her. I'm fond of her. I'm hookedon her.)
Amikor a HCB mondatait fordtottuk, mi sem " a helyes megoldst" kerestk, hanem vlasztottunk az eredetinek megfeleltethet vltozatok kzl. Jnak tltk a fordtst, ha a magyar mondat angoira trtn visszafordtsakor a lehetsges vltozatok kztt szerepelt az eredeti angol
mondatunk. (A Do you mind if l take it? mondatnak gyes fordtsa a Nem baj, ha elveszem? hiszen ennek a magyar mondatnak az egyik helyes fordtsa az eredeti angol mondat.)
A Huron's Checkbook mondatainak magyarra fordtsakor a j magyar hangzs mellett termszetesen trekednnk kellett arra is, hogy minl szarosabban kvessk az angol mondatszerkezetet.
Mindezt hadd szemiitessk a HCB-bl vett pldval:
A be ab/e to hasznlatt mutat angol mondat:
l am sure you' ll be able to play it if you practise enough.
l am sure
biztos vagyok; biztos vagyok benne; biztos; biztosan; tudom
you'// be ab/e to play it
tudsz majd jtszani (pl. valamilyen krtyajtkot); fogsz tudni jtszani; kpes leszel jtszani; el
tudod majd jtszani (pl. zongoradarabot, szerepet); el fogod tudni jtszani; sikerl majd eljtszani; kpes leszel eljtszani.
Ugyanezek a varicik vgigjtszhatk a kvetkez jelentsekben is: lejtszik (zongoradarabot, meccset); jtszik rajta (pl. hangszeren); eljtssza, hogy valaki ms; kijtszik (lapot krtyajtkban).
if you practise enough
ha eleget gyakorolsz; ha gyakorolsz eleget; ha eleget gyakorolod; ha gyakorolod eleget; elg!
elegend/megfelel/kell gyakorlssal.

A helyes vltozatok szma termszetesen jelentsen bvl attl fggen, hogy a you helyre- a
szvegkrnyezetnek megfelelen-milyen szemlyt vlasztunk: te, maga, n, ti, maguk, nk.
A HCB-ben szerepl fordts a kvetkez:
Biztos vagyok benne, hogy tudsz majd rajta jtszani, ha eleget gyakorolsz.

Nyelvtani segdlet
Az itt kvetkez segdlettel nem az a clunk, hogy lerjuk, vagy megtantsuk az "angol nyelvtan
rendszert", pusztn szeretnnk megmutatni ezt a rendszert mkds kzben. Ugyanakkor a tanulsban s a tantsban szerzett tapasztalataink alapjn gy gondoljuk, hogy aki rlt a rendszerre, az- akr mr a halad szintek eltt- gyorsan s helyesen megalkothatja a gondolatait tbbkevsb pontosan kzvett ksz mondatokat. Igyeksznk megmutatni, hogy milyen megfontolsokon keresztl juthatunkezekiga mondatokig.
Ez a segdlet nem mond ellent az ltalnosan hasznlt nyelvtanoknak, hanem mshonnanmskppen prblja lttatni ugyanazt: a ksz mondatra rnzve lesi meg, hogyan szletik a
mondat.

Az

igeidk

Ms nyelvekhez hasonlan az angolnak is vannak mintk (pldamondatok) alapjn begyakorolhat, vagy egyszeren hasznlat kzben megszakhat elemei (pl. a nve lk, a had better vagy a

igeidk tmja.
Anlkl, hogy felsorolnnk az igeidket (a tense-eket), a valsgos idvel (a time-mal) kapcsolatos "anyanyelvi idrzknk" elegend annak eldntshez, hogy mltat, jelent vagy jvt akarunk-emondani a mondattal. A magyarban a mlt id " -t" jele, vagy pldul a " lesz, fog" szavak
megknnytik, ha nem is mindig teszik egyrtelmv a dntst (pl. a VRJ, SEGfTEK! mondatban a
jelen idej alak jv idt takar).

fontos technikai tudnival,

hogy termszetesen mindig mindegyik segdignek az adott szemlyhez ill alakjt kell vlasztanunk: l have, you have, s/he has, l am, you are, s/he is, l was, you were, s/ he was stb., s hogy
a do(es)/did segdigt az llt mondatban nem tesszk ki (ilyenkor szksg szerint maga az ige
mutatja az idt s a szemlyt).

Aki azt mondja, hogy "az angolban az igeidket egyeztetni kell", igazbl arra utal, hogy az
angol a "magyarhoz kpest komolyan veszi" az igeidket
A TREVOR AZT MONDTA, NEM TETSZIK NEKI AZ A KAROSSZK. q Trevor said she did not /ike that
arrnehair. mondat pldul azt akarja mondani, hogy Trevornak akkor nem tetszett az a karosszk,
amikor ezt mondta is (vagyis a mltban)- a magyarban, egyltaln nem "logikusan" , jelen idej
igt hasznlunk valamire, ami a mltban volt igaz. (A mondat arrl nem mond semmit, hogy
most tetszik-e neki!)
Az AzT /V\ONDTA, NEM JRT MG KARAooN. q He said he had not been to Ka rd. mondatban a have mlt
idej alakjt hasznljuk, hiszen a "nem jrt mg" a mltban mutat a mltra.
Az AZT MONDTA, HOGY MSNAP ELADJA AZT A SZKET. q She said she wou/d se/l that ehair the next da y.
mondatban pedig a MSNAP sz azt mutatja, hogy ez "nem igazn jv" (nem "holnap"), hanem
ez is a "mltban fog megtrtnni" - ezrt a jvt jelz will segdige mlt idej alakjt (wou/d)
kell hasznlnunk.
Az " egyebeket" (idhatrozkat, mutatszkat) mr a magyarban is "komolyan vesszk". A fenti
pldkbl idzve: AZT A SZKET, MSNAP - ezzel kapcsolatban teht nem sok tanulnivalnk van,
az angolban ugyangy viselkedhetnk, mint a magyarban. (Ha az emltett karosszk mellett
llva kzlm Trevor vlemnyt, akkor a magyarban EZT A SZKET, az angolban this arrnehair
lesz. Ha ma reggel mondta Trevor, hogy eladja a szket, akkor tnyleg HOLNAP q tornorrow teszi
majd ezt. Ebben az esetben vlaszthatunk: ha azt tartjuk fontosnak, hogy holnap eladja a szket,
akkor a wil/ segdigt tehetjk az ige el, teht: TREVOR AZT MONDTA, HOLNAP EL FOGJA ADNI EZT A
SZKET. q Trevor said he will se/l this arrnehair tornorrow. - ha pedig egyszeren csak idzni
akarjuk, hogy mit mondott Trevor, akkor hasznljuk a would-ot: q Trevor said he would se/l this
arrnehair tornorrow. Termszetesen vannak kivtelek is: HCB 59/89-126.
Meg kell tanulnunk viszont a magyar "-e" angol prjt (ez nem megrtenival, rdemes teht
megjegyezni egy mintaknt hasznlhat mondatot): MEGKRDEZTTEK, HOGY AKAR-E MARADNI? q
Did you ask hirn if he wanted to stay? Azrt wanted, mert "vegyk komolyan": az volt krdses, hogy akkor akart-e maradni - s itt termszetesen nem kell krd szrend, mert a (HOGY)

Fordts pldamondatok alapjn

A MEGKRDEZTTEK, HOGY AKAR-E MARADNI? pldamondat alapjn fogunk tudni -E q if-es mondatokat gyrtani - s a mintbl azt is lthatjuk, hogyan kell bnni az "idegyeztetssel" s a
szrenddel.
Ha valamilyen nyelvtant nem ltunk "logikusnak", akkor a megrts nem is nagyon segthet a
tanulsban-gyakorlsban. Ilyenkor rdemes egy az adott nyelvtani problmt jl illusztrl pldamondatot megjegyeznnk - termszetesen magyarul is, s angolul is, hiszen gy talljuk majd
meg az utnzsra rdemes angol mintt, hogy elbb a mondanivalnkat sszehasonltjuk a magyar pldamondattal.
Mg kt fontos tudnival:
1. Ne felejtsk el, hogy "mire plda a plda". A 41 . pldamondat pldul azt mutatja, hogy az
ige utn jn a szemly, utna pedig ktelezen to+ fnvi igenv kvetkezik - nem ktelez
v iszont mindig a tell igt hasznlni. Hogy milyen ms "fgg felszlts" igk hasznlhatk a
tell helyn, arra sok pldt lthatunk a hivatkozott HCB-tmnl. (A pldamondatbl egybknt azt is megjegyezhetjk, hogy a tell utn mindig szerepeljen szemly, s hogy a say igt ne
hasznljuk fgg felszltsra.)

2. Azon kvl, amit a pldamondat illusztrl, termszetesen ms nyelvtanra is szksgnk

lehet a fordtshoz. Ha azt akarjuk mondani, hogy azrt nem vettk fel a telefont, mert
BIZTOSAN/BIZONYRA/NYILVN ~PPEN EB~DELTEK., akkor ehhez a magyar mondatok kzl a
55.-t kell vlasztanunk, a hozz tartoz angol pldamondatbl pedig ltjuk, hogy must
have+ 3 a tennivalnk- de mivel "ppen a kzepben" lehettek az ebdelsnek, be + inget is hasznlnunk kell: ~ They must have been having lunch.
Ha mr ellenriztk, van-e pldamondatunk a mondanivalnkhoz, meg kell teht nznnk,
nincs-e szksg mg valamelyik(ek)re abbl a hrom segdigbl, amelyeket az igeidknl is

Pldamondatok
rdemes sajt pldamondatokat gyrtani-vlasztani-minl egynibb egy mondat, annl knnyebb
lehet megjegyezni.
Ezek a pldamondatok termszetesen nem illusztrlnak minden tmt s azoknak minden
