• КЛЕВАТЬ < ПОКЛЕВЫВАТЬ> НОСОМ coll[VP; subj: human; носом remains sing even when used with pl subj; fixed WO]=====⇒ (in refer, to a strong desire to sleep) to hang one's head, having dozed off for an instant:- X was (kept) nodding drowsily.♦ А когда Павел Петрович доказывал, что лекарства нужны лишь для того, чтобы "пробудить природу от сна", ей неизменно представлялась старая дама в пенсне, вроде Агнии Петровны, которая клюёт носом на скамейке в саду... (Каверин 1). And when Pavel Petrovich said that medicine was necessary only in order to "rouse Nature from sleep," she invariably pictured to herself an old lady in pince-nez, like Agnia Petrovna, who was nodding on a bench in the garden... (1a).♦ Мужчины спорили, галдели, дымили, допивали остатки... женщины клевали носом... (Трифонов 3). The men were still arguing at the tops of their voices, smoking, drinking the last of the liquor...while the women were nodding off (За).♦ В тот же вечер... дядя Сандро, посмеиваясь и то и дело кивая на жену, сидевшую тут же на отдельной скамейке, рассказал о том, что видел днём. (Кстати, кивки его в сторону жены имели двойной смысл: с одной стороны, он как бы призывал посмеяться над её предрассудками, а с другой стороны, обращал внимание слушателей на то, что она то и дело клевала носом) (Искандер 3). That night...Uncle Sandro kept chuckling and nodding toward his wife-who was sitting there too on a separate bench-as he recounted what he had seen that day. (Incidentally, the nods in his wife's direction had a dual meaning: on the one hand he invited his listeners to laugh at her superstitions, and on the other hand, he directed their attention to the fact that she kept nodding off to sleep) (За).♦ Брат дяди Сандро, поклевывая носом, сидел у самогонного аппарата и следил, как по соломинке в бутылку стекает водка (Искандер 3). Uncle Sandros brother was nodding drowsily as he sat by the still and watched the brandy drip through the straw into the bottle (3a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > поклевывать носом
