16 the jungle law
закон джунглей, беззакониеThe colonizing powers passing beyond smuggling and piracy in their murderous rivalries, engaged in many fullscale wars to seize rich colonies from one another. The law of the jungle prevailed in their colonial relationships and victory went to the strongest. (W. Foster, ‘Outline Political History of the Americas’, book I, ch. VII) — В своем ожесточенном соперничестве колониальные державы не ограничивались контрабандой и пиратством: они часто вели настоящие войны, стремясь отнять друг у друга богатые колонии. В их взаимоотношениях господствовал закон джунглей - колонии, доставались сильнейшему.

18 The Regeneration
(1851-71)An era of relative economic progress and political stability during the third quarter of the 19th century. The Regeneration followed a period of intense political instability and uncertainty (1807-51), with invasions, wars, and civil wars, and represented the inception of modern economic and industrial development in Portugal. In terms of administrative continuity and governmental stability and accomplishment, the Regeneration was the most hopeful era of the constitutional monarchy (1834-1910). It began in 1851, with a military revolt led by the Duke of Saldanha, one of the conquerors and victors of the Patuleia revolt and civil war (1846-47) and was supported by various groups and factions that desired civic peace, order, and economic improvement.Of the Regeneration leaders, Fontes Pereira de Melo became the major personality and mastermind of this era, which witnessed the beginnings of Portugal's main railroad and road system, as well as the initiation of modern industrial and commercial activities. The Regeneration affected the economies of the Lisbon and Oporto regions more than the provinces, but the rural areas also benefited from the changes that came from the new economic activities. -
19 the proof of the pudding is in the eating
посл."чтобы судить о пудинге, надо его отведать", всё проверяется на практике, обо всём судят по результатамThe proof of the pudding is in the eating, and the proof of majority will is in the stubbornness with which the people prosecute that bitterest of all wars - a revolutionary war. (G. Marion, ‘The Communist Trial’, ch. 16) — Чтобы судить о пудинге, надо его отведать; так и о воле большинства нужно судить по тому, с каким упорством народ ведет самую ожесточенную из войн - войну революционную.
I think I can tell a good story and I can create characters that ring true. And after all the proof of the pudding is in the eating. The Eye of the Needle sold thirty-five thousand in England and eighty thousand in America... (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. I) — Я полагаю, что могу рассказать интересную историю и создать правдивые характеры. Но судят-то по результатам, а "Игольное ушко" разошлось в Англии в количестве тридцати пяти тысяч экземпляров, и в Америке было продано восемьдесят тысяч.

20 the stool of repentance
уст.публичное унижение [ист. позорный стул (в шотландских церквах)]The Parliament met at Sterling, and shortly after brought all the lords of the other party thither, who appeared to have credit enough to wipe off all those stains with which the Engagement had defaced them, yet with submission to stand publicly in the stool of repentance, acknowledging their former transgression, as they all did. (E. Clarendon, ‘The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England’, OED) — Парламент собрался в Стерлинге, и в его заседаниях вскоре приняли участие все те лорды - сторонники короля, у которых хватило мужества смыть позор, которым они себя покрыли, поддерживая тайный договор Карла I с шотландскими пресвитерианцами. Они подверглись публичному унижению и признали свои грехи.
