По-английски Юджин. А как это имя будет звучать по-русски?

А вот о русском аналоге этого имени — английского имени Юджин я догадалась, хотя ничего такого я из школьного курса английского языка не помню, просто догадалась по звучанию. Юджин по-английски это Евгений по-русски.

Вот этот вопрос для меня кажется самым лёгким из всех, так как ещё когда в школе изучал английский язык, имя Юджин частенько встречалось, и о родственном русском имени нам расказывал учитель.
И так, английское имя Юджин это наш российский Евгений.

Красивое мужское имя Юджин можно услышать и в России, а не только в Англии.
В русском языке есть аналог этому имени: Евгений.
Они даже звучат похоже. Это имя имеет греческое происхождение и обозначает принадлежность к знати.

Имя Юджин имеет греческое происхождение, в значении «благородный, знатного рода». В России такого человека называли бы Евгений. По характеру люди с таким именем спокойны, уравновешенны, тактичны, уважают мнение собеседника, добрые, с хорошим чувством юмора, галантны и привлекают женский пол!

Скорее всего это имя, Юджин, соответствует русскому имени Евгений. Не зря же мы называем Евгения Женя. Да и в английском написании Юджин пишется как Eugene. Как видим почти полное совпадение. Люди, не знающие особенностей английской грамматики и фонетики (как я например), читали бы это имя так: Еугени, что потом превратилось в Евгения.

Признаться, никогда не было попытки соотнести английское Юджин с каким-то из русским, представлялось, что все имена существуют в языках отдельно друг от друга, индивидуальны. Однако нет — аналогии сплошь и рядом.
Юджина можно в России смело называть Евгений, если по-простому, то Женя, в этом случае перекликаются звуки [ж] в именах.

Eugene Onegin-именно так называется роман в стихах А.С.Пушкина в переводе на английский язык. имя изначально не русское, Евгениев и Евгений не найдешь в крестьянских семьях до XX века, только среди дворян и интеллигенции.

Перевод имя Юджин с английского на русский.
Итак, английская версия этого имени пишется как Eugene, это его топоним.
Согласно правилам английского языка читается не так как написано, а по-другому: Юджин.
Но если читать английские буквы как они называются в английском алфавите, то мы прочти бы примерно как «Еуген», «Евген» (окончание не читается).
Так что ответ напрашивается сам собой. В русском варианте это имя Евгений.

Прилагательное липкий содержит одну-единственную орфограмму: написание глухой или звонкой согласной
из возможной пары п-б.
Сомнительная согласная находится в корне слова лип-.
Для проверки необходимо подобрать такие однокоренные слова, в которых эта согласная оказалась бы в сильной позиции,
что сделать достаточно легко, потому что слова с этим корнем общеупотребительны, например, однокоренные слова: липучий, липучесть, липучка, влипать, налипать, облипать, короче говоря, подобные глаголы с различными приставками.
Многие пользуются липучкой на одежде или обуви, некоторые люди сетуют, что часто влипают в неприятные истории.
Так что проверочные слова для слова липкий всегда найдутся, они на слуху.
Можно предположить, что «это самое» в разговоре сильно раздражает из-за страха заразиться словами-паразитами. Я в своё время смеялся над коллегой своего отца, болевшим этим изъяном. Смеялся, а напрасно, не заметил, как сам подхватил инфекцию, передающуюся по воздуху. Прямо как в рассказе Марка Твена «Режьте, братцы, режьте!»:
А когда спохватился, то было поздно, понадобилось некоторое волевое усилие, чтобы избавиться от этого миазма речи.
Если человек сам не следит за чистотой своей речи, значит, он нечистоплотен в чём-то ещё. Вот это «на все и на всех наплевать» уже говорит о его неаккуратности. Неужели у него вообще нет авторитетов, — попробуйте найти единомышленников в своём коллективе, заручится их поддержкой.
Договоритесь с сообщниками останавливать словесную пургу словами: «Ничего не понимаю, что ты сказал, говори внятно». Поставьте его в неудобное положение, он же манкирует душевным равновесием собеседников. Человек начинает задумываться, когда ему становится неуютно.
А не замечать словесный мусор не получится, иначе сами рискуете замусориться.
Осень — прекрасная пора. Это время года особенно ярко и красиво. Осень имеет свои цвета, не даром ее называют золотой, ведь именно осенью листва радует нас своим разнообразием — желтая, красная, оранжевая, коричневая, изредка зеленоватая, золотая… Осень — это пора школьников и студентов. В эту пору они приступают к занятиям. А еще осень приносит нам щедрый урожай овощей и фруктов. Богата осень обилием плодов!
По-моему не плохо получилось)))
Чтобы написать сочинение на эту тему, нужно сначала хорошо ознакомиться с этим произведением. Можно прочитать, а можно посмотреть кино, а лучше сделать и то и другое, и посмотреть разные версии этого фильма.
Я вот как-то месяц назад посмотрел один из таких фильмов. С первого просмотра полное осознание не пришло. В общих чертах могу описать что там происходило. Жил был Дубровский, не самый богатый, но и не крестьянин. Потом в место где он жил, понаехали какие-то люди. Троекуров по-моему был один из них и по-моему за главного. И вот эти понаехавшие люди решили тут всё захватить, хоть и законным (цивилизованным) способом, то есть через разные бумажки, документики. Захватить земли, поместья, авторитет. А Дубровской тут раньше имел много чего, а тут из-за них что-то начал терять. Была у него тут и любовь, а эти люди и к его возлюбленной руки тянуть начали. Вообщем когда он стал многое терять, он на всех обозлился и стал бандитом, ушёл в лес и там вместе со своей бандой грабил богатых. Настолько озлобился, что по-моему даже кого-то застрелил.
Это то, что я вынес от одного просмотра этого фильма, но с первого просмотра я мог не всё правильно понять, поэтому для написания сочинения лучше посмотреть фильм несколько раз и лучше несколько версий фильма.
Я — только «за», если знания этого предмета можно применять на практике.
Как общаться? Как уладить конфликты? Как преодолеть или уменьшить страхи? Как распознать, что тебя обманывают? Как усилить мотивацию и достичь своих целей? Как стать увереннее в себе? И даже банальное: «Кем быть? На кого пойти учиться?» — тоже психология (проф. ориентация). Если на занятиях со школьниками будут разбирать эти и другие личностно-межличност<wbr />ные и социальные вопросы, то ничего плохого не будет, только польза.
Другое дело, как и что будут преподавать на этих уроках. Если все ограничится вычитыванием теории, которую никак не применить на практике, то пользы это не принесет. И психологического здоровья учащимся не прибавит.
