plucked me by a sleeve, plucked my sleeve Explanation: Частота употребления видна на Гугле. "Plucked my sleeve" Чаще всего мы дергаем не за руку, а за рукав, но говорим "дернуть за руку". В английском это не так - и говорят, и дергают за рукав. Дернуть за рукав незаметно гораздо легче, чем за руку, особенно в контексте, когда дергают и потом "шипят замечания". Yank/jerk звучит не так безобидно, как русское "дернуть за руку". Опять же, мы понимаем, за что и как дергаем в соответствующей контексте:-). Yanked чаще употребляется в значении "выдернуть", "сдернуть", и даже иногда "запихнуть", а не дернуть. https://sentence.yourdictionary.com/yanked |
