а вот и остальные: Civil relates to a citizen, with all that it implies: It is your civil duty to protect your neighbours. Civic relates to a city, as well as its citizens: The town's local government offices are at the Civic Centre. Civilian is used of someone or something that is not military: Civilian life is not always easier than life in the army. Civil also has the non-military sense, and is used of something non-legal or non-ecclesiastical: They didn't get married in church but had a civil ceremony in a registry office. Civil can also mean 'polite'. http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/dictionaries/english/data/d0081749.html |
