Комментарии
1. Существительное issue имеет следующие основные значения:
вопрос
(как тема для обсуждения)
вопрос
(как проблема)
выпуск, номер
(периодического издания – газеты, журнала и т.д.)
выпуск, эмиссия
(марок, монет, акций, облигаций и т.д. – как серия)
выпуск, издание, эмиссия чего-л.
(как действие)
выдача чего-л.
(действие)
Произносится [ˈɪʃuː] или, реже, [ˈɪsjuː] в британском английском и только [ˈɪʃuː] в американском.
2. Когда существительное issue исчисляемое, а когда неисчисляемое?
• Во всех указанных выше значениях, за исключением последних двух, обозначающих действие, существительное issue исчисляемое (an issue, the issue, issues, the issues), например:
It’s a big issue – Это серьёзный вопрос
How many issues of this magazine have you read? – Сколько выпусков (номеров) этого журнала вы прочитали?
There’ll be a special issue of coins – Будет специальный выпуск (специальная эмиссия) монет
• Если существительное issue обозначает действие, то оно неисчисляемое (issue, the issue), например:
the date of issue – дата выдачи, дата выпуска, дата эмиссии
the issue of passports – выдача паспортов
3. Полезные выражения с существительным issue (в том числе идиоматические):
the issue of smth / issues of smth
(вопрос чего-л. / вопросы чего-л.)
to raise an issue
(поднять вопрос)
smth is not an issue
(что-л. не вопрос)
to be divided on the issue
(быть разобщёнными по данному вопросу, расходиться во мнениях по данному вопросу)
to be at issue
(быть предметом обсуждения, быть главным вопросом)
(formal)
what is at issue is whether / how / where / etc …
(вопрос в том, …)
(formal)
at issue is smth / at issue are …
(вопрос касается чего-л., вопрос состоит, заключается в чём-л., речь идёт о чём-л.)
(formal)
to make an issue of smth / out of smth
(делать из чего-л. проблему)
to take issue with smb about / on / over smth
(поспорить с кем-л. о чём-л. / насчёт чего-л., не согласиться с кем-л. насчёт чего-л.)
(formal)
to have issues with smb / smth
(иметь проблемы, сложности с кем-л. / чем-л. или претензии к кому-л.)
an issue of a magazine
(выпуск журнала, номер журнала)
the issue of smth to smb
(выдача чего-л. кому-л.)
the date of issue
(дата выпуска, дата эмиссии, дата выдачи)
4. Несколько слов об употреблении артиклей в выражении the issue of smth / issues of smth – вопрос чего-л. / вопросы чего-л.
Артикли после of в этом выражении употребляются по общему правилу употребления артиклей с существительными.
Соответственно:
• если существительное неисчисляемое и употребляется в общем, абстрактном смысле, то артикль вообще не ставится, например:
the issue of crime and punishment – вопрос преступления и наказания
(в данном случае ‘crime’ и ‘punishment’ – это абстрактные неисчисляемые существительные, поскольку означают, соответственно, «преступление» и «наказание» вообще, как явление жизни, а не какие-то конкретные случаи)
• если существительное неисчисляемое и употребляется не в общем, абстрактном смысле, а в конкретном, то ставится определённый артикль the, например:
the issue of the legalization of weapons – вопрос легализации оружия
(в данном случае мы говорим не о легализации вообще – в общем, абстрактном смысле, а о вполне конкретной легализации – оружия)
• если существительное исчисляемое, то артикли употребляются в зависимости от ситуации, например:
the issue of students failing their exams – вопрос несдачи экзаменов учащимися
(дословно – вопрос заваливающих экзамены учащихся)
the issue of the student who has failed all his exams – вопрос не сдавшего (завалившего) все экзамены ученика
(ученик конкретный, всем известный)
the issue of a student who has failed all his exams – вопрос некоего ученика, не сдавшего (завалившего) все экзамены
В примере 3 урока почти все существительные неисчисляемые и употребляются в общем, абстрактном смысле. Отсюда и отсутствие артикля. По ощущениям, чисто статистически, в реальной жизни такая ситуация встречается чаще всего.
5. Обратите внимание на порядок слов в примере 16:
At issue are the moral principles that are being compromised here – Вопрос в моральных принципах, которые здесь нарушаются
Вообще, как мы знаем, в английском языке нормой является прямой порядок слов: подлежащее – сказуемое. Здесь же мы видим их обратный порядок.
Такой порядок слов возможен, но характерен для достаточно высокого стиля, например:
Below is an example of how we can do it – Ниже дан пример того, как мы можем это сделать
Nearby was a palatial mansion – Рядом стоял величественный особняк
Это ни в коем случае не нарушение грамматики, а просто средство достаточно образного, в частности литературного отображения действительности, но конкретно нам злоупотреблять таким порядком слов не нужно. Будем употреблять его только в тех редких случаях, когда он действительно необходим.
6. При отработке упражнения обратите внимание на употребление прилагательного latest в примерах 18 и 19. Многие в таких случаях ошибочно говорят last.
Особенности употребления прилагательных last и latest см. здесь.
7. Слово issue часто используется вместо problem как более мягкий вариант обозначения проблем. Особенно на письме.
Но аналогичное явление мы наблюдаем и в русском языке: слово вопрос мы не менее часто используем вместо слова проблема. Так что здесь практически полное совпадение между русским и английским языками, что очень удобно.
8. В следующем уроке мы рассмотрим глагол issue.
9. Проверьте правильность произношения следующих слов [BrE || AmE]:
- sensitive – [ˈsensətɪv]

is′su·er n.
is′sue·less adj.
Usage Note: People often use issue to refer to a problem, difficulty, or condition, especially an embarrassing or discrediting one. The word is frequently used in the plural. Thus, a business executive who has been accused of fraud is said to have legal issues, a company facing bankruptcy has financial issues, and a person who picks fights may have anger management issues. Some people dislike this usage, claiming that it is imprecise or euphemistic. The majority of the Usage Panel frowned on it in 2002, but in just over ten years, opinion has shifted such that a majority now find it acceptable. In our 2013 survey, 78 percent of the Usage Panel accepted issue in these examples: That kid has issues and needs to see the guidance counselor. I don’t want to hire someone who has issues with carrying out orders from an authority. Although the acceptance was lukewarm (about a third of the panelists found these sentences only «somewhat acceptable»), this is a substantial increase over the 39 percent who accepted similar sentences in 2002. A similar shift of opinion has occurred concerning the use of issue for a technical problem. In 2002, only 18 percent of Panelists approved of the sentence There were a number of issues installing the printer driver in the new release of the software. By 2013, approval had risen to 68 percent. Although issue is now widely acceptable, choosing another word, such as glitch, problem, or complication, can often lend precision to your writing.

One copy of «Celebrities are Cool» magazine is an issue. It is issued, or put out, by the publisher. You and your mother may argue over the issue, or topic, of whether or not you should read it.
The original meaning of the word issue was to put something out. If a celebrity issues a statement or the post office issues new stamps, they put them out for the public. Likewise, an issue is a current topic, sometimes controversial, that is being discussed. Politicians often say they want to talk about the issues (and not their personal lives!). You might hear someone say, «He’s got issues» about a person who has some problems, usually emotional ones, but this is a very new use for the word.
