‘If you were to look behind this mirror,’ she continued cynically, ‘you might find perhaps several sorts of men-gamblers who have taken chances and won... heirs who inherited fortunes for which they did not need to work, born as they were to the purple...’ (W. Du Bois, ‘Worlds of Color’, ch. XX) — - Если бы вы заглянули за это зеркало, - продолжала княгиня с циничной усмешкой, - вы, вероятно, обнаружили бы там людей разного сорта: азартных игроков, которые пошли на риск и выиграли... наследников крупных состояний, которым не надо трудиться, ибо они родились богачами...
Ginnie was snowing this ex Marine. Man, but really snowing him. The story of her life. And he was eating it up: all about how she, Ginnie, was the local banker's daughter... and had been born to the purple. (J. Jones, ‘Some Came Running’, book V, ch. LXVI) — Гинни несла чушь, а бывший морской пехотинец слушал ее развесив уши. Ах, какая это была восхитительная чушь! Она рассказывала о своей жизни. И он всему верил. Верил, что она дочь местного банкира... и родилась в роскоши.
The old Whig party reserved the highest places for those cradled in the purple. (G. Bancroft, ‘History of the United States’, OED) — Убеленная сединой партия вигов раздавала теплые местечки представителям знати.

It would really help me if we had a midget cast, but I'm afraid that's past praying for. (P. H. Johnson, ‘The Survival of the Fittest’, part VII, ch. IV) — Да, ростом я не вышел, было бы хорошо, если бы в группе все были такие. Но на это нечего надеяться.
This old suit is past praying for. (CDEI) — Этот старый костюм уже никуда не годится.
2) (of smb.) быть неисправимым, безнадёжным человекомYou've told me a queerish story tonight. For some reason I believe you. Possibly it only shows what a silly ass I am, but I was born like that, so it's past praying for. Nice, trusting nature and so on. (D. L. Sayers, ‘Hangman's Holiday’, ‘The Image in the Mirror’) — Странную историю вы рассказали мне сегодня. Но почему-то я верю вам. Возможно, это показывает, какой я осел, но уж таким я родился. Поздно переделывать. Доверчивая натура, знаете ли.
