< чуть-чуть> не считаетсяпогов.a close shave isn't a hit; cf. a miss is as good as a mileСнаряд упал на площади, недалеко от могилы. Один большой осколок, шумно, как куропатка, фырча на излёте, пролетел над ними и шлёпнулся возле самой ямы. - Вишь, проклятый, куда достал! Чуть-чуть не попал. - Чуть-чуть не считается. (В. Овечкин, С фронтовым приветом) — The shell landed on the square within a hundred metres of where the men were digging. A big splinter flew with a fluttering noise over their heads like a flushed partridge and landed with a smack near the grave. 'Blimey, that was a near one. A close shave!' 'A close shave ain't a hit.'
