128 bind smb. hand and foot
(bind (или tie) smb. hand and foot)связать кого-л. по рукам и ногам [bind smb. hand and foot этим. библ. John XI, 44]White criminals could not be adequately punished without insulting some white man or encroaching upon his preferred status. The judges sat therefore bound hand and foot, and those were most successful who were callous in sentencing Negroes to forty years, death or life imprisonment. (W. Du Bois, ‘The Ordeal of Mansart’, ch. XII) — Нельзя было воздать полной мерой белому преступнику, не нанеся оскорбления престижу белых и не посягнув на их привилегированное положение. Поэтому судьи были связаны по рукам и ногам. Преуспевали лишь наиболее бессердечные из них, те, которые приговаривали негров к сорока годам, пожизненному заключению или к смерти.
After all, one is tied hand and foot with miserly regulations. (J. Lindsay, ‘A Local Habitation’, ch. 1) — Ведь надо же признать, что мы связаны по рукам и ногам тысячами всяких норм и инструкций.
