121 без отдачи
• БЕЗ ОТДАЧИ брать, занимать, давать что coll[PrepP; Invar; adv]=====⇒ (to take, borrow sth.) without planning to return it, (to give sth. to s.o.) without asking him to return it:- [in refer, to taking, borrowing sth.] never returning it (them);- [in refer, to money only] with no intention (notion) of repaying it;- [in refer, to giving sth.] for good;- for keeps.♦ Он был убеждён, что... он сотворён богом так, что должен жить в тридцать тысяч дохода и занимать всегда высшее положение в обществе. Он так твёрдо верил в это, что, глядя на него, и другие были убеждены в этом и не отказывали ему ни в высшем положении в свете, ни в деньгах, которые он, очевидно без отдачи, занимал у встречного и поперечного (Толстой 5). He believed that...God had created him to spend thirty thousand a year and always to occupy a prominent position in society. He was so firmly convinced of this that looking at him others were persuaded of it too, and refused him neither a leading place in society nor the money he borrowed right and left, obviously with no notion of repaying it (5a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > без отдачи
