    ...Через двадцать лет упорных трудов мой старик уже имел всё - и детей, и хозяйство, и огромный загон скота... А теперь что? А теперь всем колхозом они не имеют столько скота, сколько он один тогда имел. Пустомели, всё по ветру пустили! (Искандер 3)....After twenty years of unrelenting labor my old man had it all - children, a farm, and a huge pen of stock....And now what? Now they don't have as much stock in the whole kolkhoz as he alone had then. Big talk, but they've thrown it all to the winds! (3a).
    «Ваши брильянты! - закричал он, пугаясь силы своего голоса. - В стул! Кто вас надоумил? Почему вы не дали их мне?» - «Как же было дать вам брильянты, когда вы пустили по ветру имение моей дочери?» - спокойно и зло молвила старуха (Ильф и Петров 1). "Your jewels!" he cried, startled at the loudness of his own voice. "In a chair? Who induced you to do that? Why didn't you give them to me?" "Why should I have given them to you when you squandered away my daughter's estate?" said the old woman quietly and viciously (1a).
