81 что поделать
[sent; these forms only; used as indep. clause; fixed WO]=====⇒ you must reconcile yourself to the way things are (because there is nothing you can do to change them):- what can you <we etc> do?;- you <1 etc> can't help it;- it can't be helped.♦ Года три назад, когда с деньгами было особенно туго, да и Кирилл подрос, решили с [домработницей] Нюрой расстаться. Ну, что делать: из месяца в месяц задалживаем [ей] зарплату! (Трифонов 5). About three years ago, when we were in particularly bad financial straits and Kirill, of course, was no longer a child, we decided to part with [our maid] Nyura. Well, what else could we do? From one month to the next we were behind in her pay! (5a).♦ Всё время, что Кира Георгиевна провела в Киеве, дней пять или шесть, она чувствовала себя странно. Родное и в то же время чуждое... Чужим показался и Крещатик. Он стал шире, торжественнее, с одной стороны появился красивый бульварчик из каштанов, но, что поделаешь, старый и в обшем не очень-то красивый Крешатик с его дребезжащими трамваями и гранитной мостовой был куда ей милее (Некрасов 1). During Kira Georgievna's entire stay in Kiev-five or six days - she felt strange. It was her native city and at the same time it was alien....The Kreshchatik was also strange and alien. It was broader, more impressive, on one side was a beautiful little avenue of chestnut trees, but-she couldn't help it-although the old Kreshchatik with its cobbles and rattling streetcars was not really very beautiful, it was far, far dearer to her heart (1a).♦ Кажется, я повторяюсь, слишком часто упоминая верхний ярус этого ресторана. Но что делать, в нашем городе так мало осталось уютных мест... (Искандер 5). I'm repeating myself, I think, mentioning the upper deck of this restaurant too often. But there's no help for it, we have so few cozy spots left in our city... (5a).♦ "Сколько рабочих ваш завод теряет каждую осень, когда в деревне начинается уборка?" - спрашивает он. "Что ж поделаешь? Видно, иначе нельзя" (Распутин 1). "How many workers does your factory lose every autumn when they're sent to help the farmers gather in the crops?" he asked. "Can't be helped. Apparently there's no other way out" (1a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > что поделать

Of course I'm sorry. Suppose they took away your shirt, wouldn't you be sorry? That's how it is. But what can a man do about it? You can't knock your head against a stone wall. If the people want it that way, you have to fall in.'
