  • 6 слабое место

    weak spot (point, place); sore spot

    Просить и умолять Свиньина или даже пытаться его разжалобить - было дело совершенно бесполезное. От всего этого он был закалён крепким закалом карьерных людей того времени, но и у него, как у Ахиллеса, было слабое место. (Н. Лесков, Человек на часах) — It was quite useless to beg or pray Svinyin or even attempt to arouse his pity. He was inured to all this with the heavy armour of the careerists of those times but, like Achilles, he had a weak point.

    Слабых мест было много, но находя их, он почему-то досадовал не на Крылова, а на себя. (Д. Гранин, Иду на грозу) — There were many weak spots but, for some reason, as he found them, he felt irritated not with Krylov but with himself.
