    successful

    •• success, successful

    •• В последнее время явно под влиянием английского у нас стали иногда говорить (и писать) успешный банкир и т.п. («перевод» английского successful banker). Непонятно, зачем эта «новация». Можно же сказать (и тем более написать!) преуспевающий или преуспевший, или добившийся больших успехов. Надо иметь в виду, что английское слово success, как правило, означает успех более длительный, устойчивый, чем русское успех – чаще однократная удача, успешное выступление и т.д. Английское success – скорее преуспеяние, «хорошая жизнь».
