4 hold one's nose to the grindstone

(hold (keep или put) one's (или smb.'s) nose to the grindstone)

не давать себе (или кому-л.) ни отдыху ни сроку, заставлять себя (или кого-л.) работать без отдыха, без передышки; см. тж. with one's nose at the grindstone

I can see as far into a grindstone as another man; further than a good many, perhaps, because I had my nose well kept to it when I was young. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Hard Times’, book I, ch. XI) — Я вижу, чем тут пахнет, не хуже всякого другого, даже, может быть, лучше, чем многие, потому что мне самому достаточно доставалось в молодости.

Then, too, keeping your nose to the grindstone prevented other things from plaguing you. (K. S. Prichard, ‘Coonardoo’, ch. XXVIII) —...К тому же если заставляешь себя работать без отдыха, то это не дает всяким вздорным мыслям лезть в голову и терзать тебя.

Mr. Baker... kept all our noses to the grindstone, being - as he once remarked - paid for doing that very thing. (J. Conrad, ‘The Nigger of the Narcissus’, ch. II) — Мистер Бейкер... заставлял нас всех работать до изнеможения, так как ему, как он однажды выразился, именно за это и платили деньги.

Old hypocrite, muttered Tony to himself, don't think you'll succeed in keeping my nose to the grindstone. (R. Aldington, ‘All Men Are Enemies’, part III, ch. III) — - Старый ханжа, - пробормотал про себя Тони, - не воображай, что тебе удастся запрячь меня в ярмо.

Hullo, Bundle. Heard you'd got here. Been kept with my nose to the grindstone all the blessed afternoon or I'd have seen you before. (A. Christie, ‘The Seven Dials Mystery’, ch. XVI) — Приветствую вас, Бандл. Слышал о вашем приезде. Но так заработался сегодня, что не мог раньше с вами встретиться.

5 not to be able to see beyond one's nose

(not to be able to see beyond (the end of) one's nose (тж. not to see an inch beyond one's nose или see no further than one's nose))

не видеть дальше своего ( или собственного) носа, быть крайне недальновидным

Mrs. Barthwick: "...You Liberals and Conservatives, you're all alike; you don't see an inch before your noses." (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Silver Box’, act I, sc. III) — Миссис Барсуик: "...Вы, либералы и консерваторы, все на один лад: не видите дальше собственного носа."

I take all the blame for not seeing further than my nose. That is the only blame I am disposed to take. (C. P. Snow, ‘The Conscience of the Rich’, ch. XXXV) — Признаю свою вину: я не вижу дальше собственного носа. Это единственное, что я признаю.
