3 ни к чему
1) (не нужен, бесполезен; нет необходимости в ком-либо, в чём-либо) it is useless; it is a sheer waste of time; no call for it- А вот прослышал я, что ты распорядился Чесменскую колонну завтра сносить. Так, что ли? - Ну? - Председатель ещё больше насторожился. - Глупость делаешь! Ни к чему это! (Б. Лавренёв, Комендант Пушкин) — 'Well, they tell me you've given orders to pull down the Chesme Column tomorrow. That right?' 'Well?' The chairman bridled still more. 'It's a blunder-headed thing to do. No call for it.'
И самое главное - блочно-стяжная конструкция не выдержит проектной мощности, обязательно поломается, развалится, и тогда вообще всё ни к чему. (А. Бек, Жизнь Бережкова) — Above all, the anchor-block-cast system would break down through structural failure, it would never stand the strain, and therefore the whole thing was a sheer waste of time.
2) (не следует, не нужно, бесполезно (делать что-либо)) there is no point in doing smth.Он не привык к величию. "Сергуня" ему как раз было впору, по его малому росту и по свойствам характера. Впору, как обношенные, ладные сапоги, менять которые было ни к чему. (И. Ракша, Весь белый свет) — He was unused to this official form of address. The name Sergunya suited him down to the ground, it was in keeping both with his small stature and with his character; it fitted him like a pair of well-worn, comfortable boots which there would be no point in changing.
3) (без всякого повода, причины (делать что-либо)) for no apparent (good) reason; for no reason at allДевчонка с болячками на губах... велела ему идти по обмёрзлой лестнице наверх, в горницу, сама хихикнула ни к чему, шмыгнула под крыльцо, в подклеть. (А. Толстой, Пётр Первый) — A little girl with sores on her lips... told him to climb the ice-covered stairs into the house, giggled for no apparent reason and dived under the porch into the basement.
