References[edit]

Слова farther и further — это far («далеко») в сравнительной степени, то есть «дальше». Тем не менее, есть разница в том, как употребляются farther и further.
Разница между further и farther более существенна в американском английском. Заключается она в следующем:
- farther — это «дальше» в буквальном смысле, когда речь идет о физическом расстоянии,
- further — это «дальше» в переносном значении, когда мы говорим о продолжении какого-то действия.
Например:
We can’t go any farther, it’s dangerous in the woods. — Нам нельзя идти дальше, там в лесу опасно.
The village is five miles farther. — До деревни еще пять миль (букв.: деревня в пяти милях дальше).
В обоих примерах речь идет о физическом расстоянии. Теперь примеры с further:
We’ll go no further with this project. — Мы не будем дальше работать над этим проектом.
You’ll get further into debt. — Ты еще больше (букв.: дальше) влезешь в долги.
Как видите, здесь речь не идет о физическом расстоянии.
В британском английском разница между этими словами более размытая. Farther и further могут использоваться в обоих значениях: как физическое расстояние, так и «дальше» в переносном смысле.
Примеры:
I can’t walk no further/farther. — Я не могу идти дальше.
I won’t read this book any farther/further. — Я не буду дальше читать эту книгу.
Спорный случай с farther и further
Иногда неясно идет ли речь о расстоянии в прямом смысле или переносном, например:
I got no f?rther than the second chapter, then the book just bored me. — Я добрался не дальше второй главы, затем книга мне просто наскучила.
Можно сказать, что здесь «дальше» используется в переносном значении, т. к. речь идет о чтении, а не пешей прогулке. С другой стороны, чтение в данном случае тоже связано с физическими величинами, т. к. речь идет о прочтении определенного количества страниц, что можно с натяжкой посчитать за расстояние. В подобный случаях, подойдет любой вариант — хоть farther, хоть further.
Farther и Further в других значениях
«Дальше» — это не единственное значение farther и further.
- Farther может использоваться как прилагательное «дальний», «находящийся вдали», когда речь идет о чем-то находящемся далеко от говорящего. В этом случае используют именно farther, а не further, даже в британском английском.
The exit is on the farther side of the field. — Выход на дальней стороне поля (на той, что вдали).
- Прилагательное further (именно further, а не farther) может значить «дополнительный», то есть дополняющий что-то уже имеющееся.
For further information click here. — Для дополнительной информации нажмите сюда.
You will be given some further instructions. — Вам будут даны дополнительные (дальнейшие) инструкции.
- Глагол to further значит «продвигать», «углублять» (в перен. значении), «помогать развитию», но встречается редко, т. к. используется в формальной речи.
This achievement will further your career. — Это достижение поможет вашей карьере («продвинет» карьеру).

FURTHER VS. FARTHER
What’s the difference between further and farther?
Further commonly means to a greater figurative distance, as in Nothing could be further from the truth, or to a greater extent, as in Let’s discuss this further. It can also mean at or to a greater literal distance. This is what farther most commonly means, as in a few steps farther or two miles farther or We’re moving even farther away.
The traditional distinction is that farther is used for literal distances and that further should be used for figurative distances or metaphorical extents, though in everyday communication, they are often used interchangeably, with further being often used for literal distances and farther being used to mean at a more advanced point or to a great extent.
However, further is used in a few ways that farther is not. Further can be used as a verb meaning to advance something, such as an agenda or cause, as in This will help to further our cause. As an adjective, further can mean more extended, as in further delays, or additional, as in We will hold further meetings. It can also be used in the beginning of a sentence or clause to mean the same thing as furthermore, in addition, or moreover, as in I don’t like ice cream. Further, I don’t like pistachios. So why would you buy me pistachio ice cream?
You can remember that farther is typically used for literal distance by remembering that it’s the comparative form of the adjective far, with the superlative form being farthest.
Here’s an example of further and farther used correctly in the same sentence.
Example: I have to drive farther than usual for work today—I’ll explain further when I get home.
