Construction / Civil Engineering
English term or phrase: construction/civil engineering
ako je civil engineering gradjevinarstvo, construction je? Ili se varam? Zapravo prevodim francuski izraz Bâtiment, sto bi u prevodu trebalo da bude construction, nasuprot Génie civil, sto je civil engineering, ali ne vredi da saljem post za francuski jer mi se retko ko javlja...

gradjevinski inzenjer


Explanation:
Da, to je gradjevinski inzenjer, a u gradjevinarstvu postoji smjer konstrukcije, pa se ovaj dio "construction" mozda odnosi na to.

gradjevinarstvo/gradjevinarstvo*


Explanation:
*u nasem jeziku ne postoje precizni razliciti termini, ali se u zavisnosti od konteksta moze prevesti:

construction > gradjevinarstvo u smislu procesa gradnje, izvodjenja radova, operative;

civil engineering > gradjevinarstvo, ali vise u smislu tehnicke discipline, znanja, pa i nauke (na pr: Gradjevinski fakultet > Faculty of Civil Engineering)

http://ala2.grf.bg.ac.yu/index.html
http://ala2.grf.bg.ac.yu/indexe.html

NAPOMENA:

- gradjevinski inzenjer > civil engineer
diplomirani gradjevinski inzenjer > B.Sc. C.E. (Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering)


- niskogradnja > ne postoji bas adekvatan termin u engleskom koji podrazumeva gradnju puteva, tunela itd. kao u srpskohrvatskom: niskogradnja (zbirno), kod njih su odvojemi (posebni) termini za te pod-discipline; kod nas se ponekad niskogradnja "na silu" prevodi na pr. sa "low-building construction"

VAZNA NAPOMENA: Ovo objasnjenje (prevod) vazi za engleski, a u francuskom (koji je ovde izvorni jezik) to uopste ne mora da bude tako.
Uzgrad, evo i nekih prevoda sa francuskog:
bâtiment > izgradnja, zidanje
construction > konstrukcija, gradnja, gradjenje
Génie civil > inzenjerstvo, tehnika
(B. Bajic, Poslovni privredno-tehnicki recnik, izd. Privredni pregled, Beograd, 1973,)

neutral  V&M Stanković: posledica bukvalnog citanja (tumacenja) recnika: ako se OPSTE znacenje "Civil Engineering" prevede SAMO sa "niskogradnja", onda je i "Faculty of Civil Engineering" > "Fakultet za niskogradnju" i "Civil Engineer" > "inzenjer niskogradnje"!?!?

  -> Civil Engineering (n) - The branch of ENGINEERING concerned with the design and construction of such public works as DAMS or BRIDGES (Webster). Uostalom, šta radi vojna inženjerija? Sigruno ne pravi nebodere.
