My tuberculosis had suddenly got so bad again that I could scarcely stand up (2a).♦ "Гришенька, это тиф!" - "Не болтай зря! Ничего не видно; лоб у тебя холодный, может, и не тиф", - утешал Григорий, но в душе был убежден, что Аксинья заболела сыпняком, и мучительно раздумывал, как же поступить с ней, если болезнь свалит её с ног (Шолохов 5). "Grisha, darling, it's typhus." "Nonsense! There's no sign; your forehead's cool enough. It may not be that." Grigory tried to comfort her, but in his heart he was sure it was, and his brain was wrestling with the problem of what to do with her if she got too ill to move (5a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > сшибить с ног
