Double - is it good or bad? Although, probably, we did not start from that. However, you must first answer the question. The double is good in game sports and bad in cinema. When there are a lot of goals and points, that's great. And the directors dream of having less takes. Previously, everything rested on the amount of film, and now - on the fees of the actors for the shooting day. However, to the point.
Value
Before discussing the moral side of the issue, you need to find the ground under your feet in the form of the meaning of the word “double” in the explanatory dictionary. So let's close this question right away. So, according to the dictionary, this is:
- Re-shooting an episode in a movie (special term).
- In sports: double victory.
This time the explanatory dictionary didn’t help us much. What to do, because some of his definitions are already outdated. Now double is called not only a double victory, when, for example, one team took both the championship and the country's cup, but also success in specific matches. If a soccer player or hockey player scores two goals or two goals, respectively, then this success is called a “double”. You can also find in colloquial speech that a double is a duplicate, but not in the sense of an official document, but in the sense of a copy.
There are no direct synonyms, but there are options
Yes, the initial situation is as described in the subtitle. If you look for synonyms in the dictionary, you can’t find a pair for a duplicate. But it all depends on what kind of meaning the speaker puts into the object of study. Therefore, we will divide the list of synonyms for the “double” into two parts - sports and domestic. First about the sport:
- success;
- winnings;
- victory;
- Goal;
- washer;
- ball.
And now about life:
- copy;
- clone;
- double;
- repeat
- instance;
- twin.
As you can see, you can achieve a lot if you think a little about how, well, or almost like that, one very famous character spoke. Often in life, a double is a copy, because few Russian speakers (except those with professional interests in the same latitudes) open an explanatory dictionary. Moreover, no book (even the most remarkable one) can contain a “living as life” language that is constantly updated and changed.
The benefits and harms of duplicates for life
And now the answer to the question posed at the beginning: "Is duplication good or bad?" If we take into account the previous story, it turns out that only movies suffer from takes, and sports, on the contrary, only welcome them, is that so? Yes it is. But, unfortunately, life itself suffers from repetitions. A person often steps on the same rake, as if he is shooting the same scene, and each time he hopes that the scriptwriter has changed something in the script. But usually hopes are not justified. Yes, life mistakes are repetitions. Life is a stern teacher, so she wants the lesson to be learned “perfectly”.
But more harmless situations also happen. For example, a book lover selects a book in a store, and then comes home and discovers that he already has such a publication. Therefore, the purchased copy can be called a double. Probably, one way or another, and the word “double” in the sense of a copy came to us anyway from the movie, because there is the expression “double two”, and we can hear it not only on the set, but in general wherever or other reasons, people are forced to repeat something. We hope that the reader and I will not need a second take.
