парфянская стрела (меткое замечание, приберегаемое напоследок) [парфяне прибегали к военной хитрости: симулируя бегство, поражали стрелами преследующего их врага]‘I'm going to Tunis immediately,’ ‘To Tunis! Whatever for? On business?’ ‘Yes, on the real business this time.’ ‘I'm afraid you won't get any golf there.’ Tony could not resist one tiny Parthian shaft in answer: ‘Oh, I don't know, I'm told there are prodigious bunkers in the Sahara. Good-bye.’ (R. Aldington, ‘All Men Are Enemies’, part IV, ch. II) — - Я не сегодня-завтра уезжаю в Тунис. - В Тунис? Зачем? По делу? - Да, и на этот раз по настоящему делу. - Боюсь, что вам не удастся поиграть там в гольф. Тони не мог удержаться, чтобы не пустить на прощание маленькой парфянской стрелы. - Ну, как сказать. Я слышал, в Сахаре замечательные поля для гольфа. До свидания.
