ⓘ A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do Il s'agit d'une phrase que l'on associe généralement aux vieux westerns dans lesquels les héros expriment leur détermination à agir en hommes, en dépit du danger. Cette formule ("un homme, un vrai, ne recule pas devant l'obstacle") s'utilise aujourd'hui de façon allusive et sur le mode ironique lorsque quelqu'un doit exécuter une tâche simple (l'équivalent français est "quand il faut y aller, il faut y aller").

12 old as the hills

( (as) old as the hills)

очень старый, древний; ≈ старо как мир [этим. предположительно библ. Job XV, 7: art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?]

‘There's very little to be had out of that,’ he said; ‘Regular country little place, old as the hills.’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Man of Property’, part I, ch. I) — - Ничего особенного там нет, - сказал Джемс, - настоящий деревенский уголок, от которого так и веет стариной.

That little affair of your father-in-law and your Aunt Irene, Val - it's old as the hills, of course, Fleur need know nothing about it... (J. Galsworthy, ‘To Let’, part I, ch. V) — Эта история с твоим тестем и твоей тетей Ирэн, Вэл... Все это, конечно, давно поросло быльем, не нужно, чтобы Флер что-нибудь узнала...

...she saw that he was practically toothless. As old as the hills. While Rhett was stealing a horse, why couldn't he have stolen a good one? (M. Mitchell, ‘Gone with the Wind’, ch. XXIV) —...Скарлетт увидела, что у лошади почти не было зубов и она от старости еле передвигала ноги. Уж если Рэтт решил украсть лошадь, то почему он украл эту старую клячу?

The reader will notice that many of my stories are written in the first person singular. That is a literary convention which is as old as the hills. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘Preface’) — читатель, вероятно, заметил, что многие из моих рассказов написаны от первого лица. Это литературный прием, старый как мир.

Fifty-five must seem as old as the hills to a girl like you. (A. Wilson, ‘Anglo-Saxon Attitudes’, part I, ch. I) — Такой молоденькой девушке, как вы, мужчина пятидесяти пяти лет кажется древним стариком.

13 paint the devil blacker than he is

сгущать краски, изображать кого-л. хуже, чем он есть на самом деле [происходит от пословицы the devil is not so black as he is painted; см. the devil is not so black as he is painted]

A: "His behaviour is extraordinary, but I suppose it's just eccentricity." B: "Eccentricity be blowed! The man's just a criminal! - I know it." A: "Steady on! I know he's a pretty bad sort of chap, but there's no need to paint the devil blacker than he is." (SPI) — А: "Его поведение ни на что не похоже, я думаю, однако, это просто эксцентричность." Б: "Хороша эксцентричность, черт побери! Этот тип просто преступник. Мне-то это известно." А: "Ну полноте! Человек он, конечно, негодный, но нет нужды сгущать краски."

15 a man of straw

1) ненадёжный, несерьёзный человек

There, in a room that had a feminine touch in its decorations, he kept the firm's books in fine spidery penmanship, well aware that his father despised him for a than of straw. (R. Greenwood, ‘Mr. Bunting’, ch. IV) — Там, в комнате, убранной с чисто женским вкусом, он делал записи в конторских книгах своим тонким как паутина почерком, отлично зная, что отец презирает его и смотрит на него как на пустое место.

After another drink, he was speculating about Roger's enemies. Four or five, he said: anyway, you could count them on one hand. Men of straw. (C. P. Snow, ‘Corridors of Power’, ch. XXXVII) — Выпив еще стакан, мой приятель-журналист начал подсчитывать врагов Роджера. - четыре-пять, - говорил он. - Во всяком случае, их можно по пальцам пересчитать. Жалкие людишки!

It would be unwise to put money into Jones's business; he is a man of straw. (DEI) — Неразумно вкладывать деньги в предприятие Джонса. Он человек никудышный.

2) фиктивное, подставное лицо (особ. в сделке или в судебном процессе)

If the defendant be a man of straw, who is to pay the costs, sir? (Ch. Dickens, ‘Pickwick Papers’, ch. XXI) — Если ответчик - фиктивное лицо, то кто же будет платить судебные издержки, сэр?

There remains then only to be considered the method in which the narrator is not an essential part of the story, but merely a witness... and since there is no need for the reader to know anything about him, the fact that he is a man of straw is of no moment. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Six Stories Written in the First Person Singular’, ‘Preface’) — Остается только сказать несколько слов о том литературном приеме, когда рассказчик является не героем повествования, а всего только свидетелем. А поскольку читателю ничего не нужно знать о рассказчике, тот факт, что он является подставным лицом, не имеет значения.

3) ложный аргумент, выдвигаемый говорящим только для того, чтобы самому его опровергнуть (тж. a straw man)

...they find it easier to set up crudely contrived straw men and knock these down. —...они прибегают к методу ложных аргументов, которые они наспех сколачивают и с легкостью разбивают.

4) воображаемое лицо; плод воображения

This plotter, this deceiver of the innocent, on whom you went your imagination, is a mere man of straw. The reality is a very peaceable, inoffensive character. (EI) — Этот интриган, этот обманщик доверчивых простаков - только плод вашего воображения. В действительности это мирный, безобидный человек.

16 white man's burden

«Бремя белого человека». Эта фраза относится к временам Британской империи и напоминает людям белой расы об обязанности управлять и просвещать менее развитое цветное население земли после колонизации. Эта фраза пришла из поэмы Редьярда Киплинга (1865—1936), названной 'The White Man's Burden' (1899).
Take up the White Man's burden — Send forth the best ye breed — Go bind your sons to exile To serve your captives' need. Несите бремя белых — И лучших сыновей На тяжкий труд пошлите За тридевять морей... (
Пер. М. Фромана)

17 catch smb. on the rebound

(catch (или marry) smb. on the rebound)

жениться на ком-л. или выйти замуж за кого-л. с горя, от несчастной любви [этим. спорт. on the rebound на отскоке (об ударе по мячу, теннис)]

‘Poor little Fleur!’ sighed Holly. Ah! it was strange - this marriage. The young man, Mont, had caught her on the rebound, of course, in the reckless mood of one whose ship has just gone down. (J. Galsworthy, ‘To Let’, part III, ch. X) — - Бедная маленькая Флер! - вздохнула Холли. И в самом деле, разве не странная свадьба? Этому молодому человеку, Майклу Монту, Флер досталась, конечно, рикошетом: она пошла за него с отчаяния, когда корабль ее затонул.

All I'm asking... is that I need a little breathing space, I've seen what happens to girls who marry on the rebound. I've told you that I'm considering your proposal. (J. Wain, ‘Nuncle’, ‘Rafferty’) — Я прошу... только о небольшой отсрочке. Я ведь видела, что бывает с девушками, которые с горя выходят замуж, потому что сердце у них разбито. Я обдумываю твое предложение.

Amanda: "...She married him on the rebound - never loved her - carried my picture on him the night he died!" (T. Williams, ‘The Glass Menagerie’, sc. I) — Аманда: "...Она буквально женила Кейтса на себе - он не любил ее. В ту ночь, когда он умер, у него в кармане нашли мою фотокарточку!"
