  • 5 не твоя печаль

    прост.
    it is not your concern (business); that's no concern of yours; that's naught for you to fret over

    - Как ты одна жить будешь? - Катя их обрезала: - Не ваша печаль. Никакого мне вашего жениха не надо. (П. Бажов, Малахитовая шкатулка) — 'You can't live here all alone.' But Katya cut them short. 'That's naught for you to fret over. I want none of your suitors.'

    Было обидно, что приезжая гордячка так легко отказалась от даровой роскоши, ни о чём не просила, всё вышвырнула. - Спать-то на чём будете? - спросила Ольга Матвеевна. - А это уж не ваша печаль, - ответила Анна Ивановна. (В. Панова, Кружилиха) — There was something humiliating in the way this proud lodger had scorned all this free luxury, thrown everything out of the room, and asked for nothing. 'What will you sleep on?' she asked. 'That's no concern of yours,' answered Anna Ivanovna.
