5 the whiff of grape-shot
"несколько залпов" ( использование артиллерии против народа) [выражение создано Т. Карлейлем; см. цитату]The whiff of grape-shot can, if needful, become a blast and tempest. (Th. Carlyle, ‘The French Revolution’, part I, book V, ch. 3) — Несколько залпов в случае необходимости могут превратиться в ураган огня.
...the young general Bonaparte's pounding of the Paris mob to pieces in 1795 called in playful approval by our respectable classes "the whiff of grapeshot"... (B. Shaw, ‘Major Barbara’, ‘Preface’) —...молодой генерал Бонапарт в 1795 году приказал стрелять из пушек в народ на улицах Парижа, и в знак шутливого одобрения наши высшие классы говорили об этом расстреле, как о "нескольких залпах"...
Don't be silly, Daddy. You're always saying we could have kept India with a few whiffs of grapeshot or something. (B. Davidson, ‘Golden Horn’, ch. 11) — Не глупи, папа, ты же всегда говорил, что мы могли бы сохранить Индию, стоило только немного пострелять.
