9. Прочтите и переведите следующий текст , обращая внимание на перевод различного рода подлежащих:

Benjamin Franklin (1706 – 1790) is acknowledged to be the founder of the theory of atmospheric electricity. At the time when theories to explain electricity were neither complete nor well founded the lightning was proved by him to be an electrical phenomenon. He was not the first to think of it but he was the first to prove it. His theory of electricity still appears to hold good. He is acknowledged to have invented a means of protection against the disastrous effects of lightning – the lightning rod. Franklin`s theory at first seemed to be misunderstood both in his country and abroad. It is known to have been severely attacked by the leader of French scientists Nollet.

Franklin is recognized to have been a greater public figure who did as much as he could for enjoying a great popularity with his countrymen. He is sure to be one of the broadest as well as one of the most creative minds of his time.

      Дополнение

Дополнение – это второстепенный член предложения, занимающий  в предложении место после  сказуемого.

Сложное  дополнение.

Если инфинитив (или причастие) стоит после существительного в общем падеже (или личного местоимения в объектном падеже), которому предшествует глагол определенного типа, так называемый вводящий глагол, то инфинитив вместе с существительным (или личным местоимением) образует «сложное дополнение». В этой конструкции инфинитив может употребляться как в активной, так и в пассивной форме. На русский язык «сложное дополнение» переводится дополнительным придаточным предложением с союзами что, чтобы. Подлежащее может опускаться, ибо в научно-технической литературе основной интерес представляет только объект действия, т.е. дополнение.
