EXERCISE 205

Передайте содержание следующих диалогов по-английски, опираясь на образец.

Real estate agent: Are you sure you can afford this house?

Client: What makes you think I can’t?

Real estate agent: Just asking.

Агент по недвижимости: Вы уверены, что можете позволить себе этот дом?

Клиент: Отчего вы решили, что не могу? (Буквально: Что заставляет вас думать, что я не могу?)

Агент по недвижимости: Просто спросил.

Комментарий. Если за глаголом make следует неопределенная форма другого глагола, глагол make приобретает значение побуждения, , например: “They made me feel nervous.” – «Они заставили меня нервничать»; “Don’t make me do that.” – «Не заставляйте меня это делать».
