43 a tale that is told
нечто эфемерное, преходящее, кажущееся из-за удалённости во времени или пространстве призрачным, нереальным, несущественным; ≈ дела давно минувших дней, было и быльём поросло [этим. библ. Psalms XC, IX]Such are the changes which a few years bring about, and so do things pass away, like a tale that is told! (Ch. Dickens, ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’, ch. LXXIII) — Вот как все переменилось за несколько лет. Все проходит, минует, порастает травой забвения.
The quest for excitement, work, appreciation, and pleasure in distant places seemed to be as a tale which was told. (Kenk) — Труд, почести, удовольствия - вся эта мирская суета в дальних странах кажется призрачной, эфемерной.
The path of history is strewn with dead civilization. Today they are all as tale that is told. (Kenk) — Тропа истории усеяна костями древних цивилизаций. Сегодня все они не больше чем пустой звук.

44 a twice-told tale
старая история, что-л. часто повторяемое и потому хорошо известное [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]Lewis: "There's nothing in this world can make me joy: Life is as tedious as a twice-told tale..." (W. Shakespeare, ‘King John’, act III, sc. 4) — Людовик: "Мне радости не видеть на земле. Несносна жизнь, как выслушанный дважды, В унылый сон вгоняющий рассказ." (перевод Н. Рыковой)
To many of my readers all I have written will come as a twice-told tale, since thousands and similar experiences and have related them in numberless books. (W. H. Hudson, ‘Far Away and Long Ago’, Kenk) — Все, что я написал, может показаться моим читателям чем-то хорошо известным, ведь подобное было пережито миллионами людей, написавших об этом множество книг.
