Формы слова

adjective
срав. степ. (comparative): truer
прев. степ. (superlative): truest

Odds and EndsСлово «true» является одним из самых старых слов. Оно может происходить от протоиндоевропейского слова, означающего «дерево». Хорошо укоренившееся дерево является сильным, прочным и крепким. К тому времени, как слово вошло в английский язык, оно приобрело значение «честный» или «заслуживающий доверия». По мере развития языка слово приобретало все новые значения, и в современном английском у него, по крайней мере, шесть оттенков значения. Вот несколько примеров употребления слова «true» с несколькими синонимами, которые помогут до конца раскрыть то или иное значение.

1. Is it true what mother has told me about your behavior? – Это правда, что мама рассказала мне о твоем поведении?
В данном случае true означает «верный, правильный, точный, правдивый» и слова correct (правильный), factual (действительный), accurate (точный), right (правильный) являются его синонимами в этом смысле.

2. My true vocation is to teach English – Мое истинное призвание – преподавать английский.
Здесь true – это «истинный, неподдельный», а синонимами в данном значении будут слова genuine (подлинный), real (настоящий), authentic (подлинный), actual (настоящий).

3. The true heir of the whole property uncle John has left was his granddaughter. – настоящей наследницей всего имущества, которое оставил дядя Джон, была его внучка.
В данном случае true означает «законный, действительный». Синонимами, подходящими к этому значению, являются rightful (правомочный), authorized (уполномоченный), legitimate (законный), lawful (законный), legal (законный).

4. A true friend will always be with you – настоящий друг всегда будет с вами.
В этом предложении true означает «верный, лояльный, подлинный, надежный». Синонимами в этом случае будут loyal (лояльный), reliable (надежный), faithful (верный), devoted (преданный), trustworthy (надежный).

5. This film is a true reflection of the war events – этот фильм – точное отражение событий войны.
Из примера видно что перед нами true в значении «близкий к реальности, реалистичный». А синонимы у него следующие – accurate (точный), realistic (реалистичный), true to life ( точно воспроизведённый), factual (основанный на фактах), faithful (правдивый).

6. True repentance will help to save your soul. – подлинное раскаяние поможет спасти твою душу.
Последнее значение true – это «искренний, добросердечный». Синонимами являются sincere (искренний), unfeigned (неподдельный), genuine (подлинный), heartfelt (добросердечный), real (настоящий).

Устойчивые выражения со словом true

Слово true также используется во многих устойчивых выражениях, например,

  • true as steel: верный и надежный
  • true colors: истинное лицо кого-то
  • true love: истинная любовь
  • ring true: звучать правдоподобно
  • tried and true: верный, испытанный, надежный
  • true up: настраивать, регулировать
