exactly

Частица exactly выполняет функцию идентификации и переводится русскими идентифицирующими частицами, обычно именно или, реже, как раз:

• Persse paid little attention to the lecture,… being preoccupied… with the problem of exactly what Angelica had meant by her proposal… (DL: 45)

Пэрс почти не слушал лекцию, его мысли занимал вопрос, что именно означало предложение Анжелики…

• This was exactly what I wanted to hear. (DT: 534)

Это было именно / как раз то, что я хотел услышать.

Когда анализируемая частица используется в качестве отдельной реплики, ее эквивалентом обычно становится русское вот именно:

• «I could have divorced Hilary and married you.» — « Exactly. I told you this morning, I didn’t want that.» (DL: 225)

«Я мог развестись с Хилари и жениться на тебе.»

« Вот именно. Я говорила тебе сегодня утром, что не хотела этого.»

Особый интерес с точки зрения перевода представляют те случаи, когда exactly употребляется при отрицании. В этом случае частица указывает, что слово, к которому она относится, не совсем точно описывает истинное положение вещей. В этом случае указанная выше частица именно обычно не может быть употреблена в качестве эквивалента, и применяются разные другие средства русского языка, способные выполнить схожую функцию:

• «You have read Northrop Frye?» — «Well, not read, exactly. Somebody told me about it.» (DL: 259)

«Вы читали Нортропа Фрая?» — «Ну, строго говоря, нет. Мне рассказывали об этой его книге.»

•… for some reason it was the only respectable pub in Dufton. The others weren’t exactly low, but even in their Best Rooms you were likely to see the overalled and sweaty. (JB: 85)

… почему-то это был единственный приличный паб в Дафтоне. Нельзя сказать, что все другие были совсем уж низкопробными, но там даже в Лучших Залах можно было часто встретить работяг в пропотевших комбинезонах.
