Subject: stood at the westward The wind stood at the westward. Ветер дул с запада.Такой пример я увидела в словаре Lingvo. А разве можно глагол stand употребить в значении "дуть" или здесь неправильно перевёл переводчик? |
| Видимо, подчеркивается, что ветер дул со стабильной скоростью и не менял направления. Сравните: They found it impossible to take observation upon the 23rd, but by their reckoning, they had made sixteen miles, their course lying north by west, the wind this day sometimes veering from east to west, weather variable, rainy and occasionally calm. In the evening the wind stood at south south-east. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Early_Voyages_to_Terra_Australis/The_Voyage_and_Shipwreck_of_Captain_Francis_Pelsart |
