    - Как на духу будешь отвечать на мои вопросы, прораб Власов? - ещё раз спрашивает Егор Ильич. - Как на духу... - отвечает Власов. (В. Липатов, Смерть Егора Сузуна) — 'And you'll answer my questions honestly, Vlasov?' Yegor Ilyich asked again. 'Honestly,' Vlasov replied.

    Он знал, на чём держались их отношения: на той самой беспощадности друг к другу, которая мешала им жить рядом, и предельной откровенности - откровенности всякий раз как на духу. (В. Ерёменко, Слепой дождь) — He knew that their relationship was in fact based upon this very lack of mercy towards each other which made it difficult for them to live side by side, and on their extreme frankness with one another, a frankness which each time went right to the heart of things.

    Он сказал ревизору: Я с тобой буду как на духу - не таскали мы оттуда ни одной крупинки. Я специально это при ребятах говорю, я при них врать не стану. (В. Распутин, Деньги для Марии) — He said to the man: 'I'll be as honest with you as if I was confessing to the priest: not a grain of anything have we taken from that store. I'm telling you this in front of the kids, and I wouldn't lie with them to hear it.'
