1 ask for the moon
(ask (cry или wish) for the moon (тж. want the moon))"просить луну с неба", желать, требовать невозможного"Crying for the moon" had become a principle when he was already much too old for principles. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Swan Song’, part II, ch. V) — "Желать невозможного" стало принципом, когда всякие принципы уже утратили для него свое значение.
To be safe in his job while he was fit for it, and after that to have a little place of his own, with a garden... that was not asking much, and yet, for all the firm's increased turnover and its rises, he could not help thinking it was really like asking for the moon. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. VI) — Быть уверенным, что не лишишься работы, пока способен трудиться, а потом, уйдя на покой, иметь свой собственный домик и сад... это ведь не так уж много, между тем, несмотря на процветание фирмы и увеличение оборотов, это так же несбыточно, как достать луну с неба.
If this is true, then he is not a man. He is still a little boy and wants the moon. (J. Steinbeck, ‘Cup of Gold’, ch. 3) — Если это верно, то он не мужчина, а ребенок, которому подавай луну с неба.
How can I maintain it alone? If only some help was possible. But that is like a child wishing for the moon. (A. J. Cronin, ‘A Thing of Beauty’, part III, ch. VIII) — Разве я могу одна управиться с хозяйством? Если была бы хоть какая-нибудь подмога. Но об этом нечего и мечтать.

6 the top of the ladder
видное общественное положение; ведущее положение (в какой-л. профессии)He is such an ass; and yet he's had wit enough to get to the top of the tree, and to keep himself there. (A. Trollope, ‘The Last Chronicle of Barset’, ch. XXXV) — Он такой осел, но все же у него хватило ума взобраться на самую высокую ступеньку общественной лестницы и удержаться там.
The field of legal medicine... is a difficult field in which to achieve distinction. Relatively few men have gone to the top of the ladder. (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Case of the Duplicate Daughter’, ‘Foreward’) — Судебная медицина... такая область, в которой трудно выдвинуться. Сравнительно немногим удалось достичь вершины.
You're asking us to believe that a man absolutely established, right at the top of his particular tree, is going to commit forgery for the sake of that? Putting it in its lowest terms, I'm sorry, but it just doesn't wash. (C. P. Snow, ‘The Affair’, ch. 27) — Вы хотите убедить нас в том, что человек с абсолютно прочным положением, находившийся в самом первом ряду ученых своей отрасли науки, пошел бы ради таких пустяков на подлог? Простите за грубое выражение, но это ни в какие ворота не лезет.
