15 the Grand Old Man
(the Grand Old Man (сокр. G. О. М.))1) "великий старец" (прозвище английского политического деятеля У. Гладстона [W. Gladstone, 1809-98])When Parliament was dissolved in 1892 Mr. Gladstone, then in his eighty-third year, thundered his way to power for the fourth and last time. Many of his most loyal colleagues and followers became acutely aware of those infirmities in the Grand Old Man which they had ignored the year before, and felt that the time had come for him to pack his famous bag and retire. (‘The New Horizon’) — В 1892 году парламент был распущен и 83-летний Гладстон снова стремительно пришел к власти в четвертый и последний раз. Многие из самых преданных коллег и последователей Великого Старца, понимавшие, каким немощным он стал, хотя еще год назад они не обращали на это внимания, считали, что ему пора упаковать свой знаменитый кожаный саквояж и уйти в отставку.
2) маститый деятель, "патриарх"At seventy-five everyone agreed that Edward Driffield had genius. At eighty he was the Grand Old Man of English Letters. This position he held till his death. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. IX) — Все считали 75-летнего Эдуарда Дриффилда гением. В 80 лет он стал патриархом английской литературы и оставался таковым до конца своих дней.
