Толкование Перевод

"удержаться на поверхности", бороться с трудностями; бороться за существование; не влезать в долги; избежать банкротства

He had been grappling with them ever since he married and begot a family; had been bobbing about on tempestuous financial seas, venting now a little profanity, now a little philosophy, but keeping his head above water... (R. Greenwood, ‘Mr. Bunting’, ch. I) — Он воевал со всем этим с тех пор, как женился и обзавелся семьей; он плавал по бурным волнам финансовых неурядиц, отводя душу то крепким словечком, то философскими размышлениями, и все-таки ни разу не ушел с головой под воду...

‘Well, I'm blessed!’ he exclaimed. ‘Here I've been struggling to keep our heads above water, and before we're out of the wood you go and bring home a motorcar on tick. We ain't lords and millionaires, Chris, we're ordinary people.’ (R. Greenwood, ‘Mr. Bunting’, ch. XIV) — - Ну что ты тут поделаешь! - воскликнул он. - я бьюсь как рыба об лед, чтобы сводить концы с концами. Мы еще не выбрались из нужды, а он, смотри пожалуйста, пошел и купил машину в кредит. Мы не лорды и не миллионеры, Крис. Мы обыкновенные люди.

Certainly, the Bank of America makes profits out of the "small people" it claims to serve. But under capitalism people are willing to pay such a tribute for financial services which may help them keep their heads above water for the moment - even though the price paid may leave them still less secure, still more vulnerable to economic vicissitudes, in the future. (V. Perlo, ‘The Empire of High Finance’, ch. XIII) — Разумеется, "Бэнк оф Америка" получает прибыли за счет "маленьких людей", которым он якобы служит. Но при капитализме люди готовы платить подобную дань за финансовую помощь, дающую им возможность хотя бы на время удержаться на поверхности, пусть даже ценой своей будущей обеспеченности и неуязвимости перед лицом экономических превратностей.
