Иностранцы огромные деньги за это получают, а мы только глазами хлопаем... (С. Сергеев-Ценский, Севастопольская страда) — 'We've got only foreign mechanics here since we can't do a thing by ourselves. These foreigners make heaps of money while we remain idle and keep mum.'

А знать об этом не худо. Ужо гости приедут, разговаривать будут. Скажут: при Бонапарте это было, а ты будешь глазами хлопать. Нехорошо. (М. Салтыков-Щедрин, Орёл-меценат) — 'I'll bet you don't even know that Bonaparte is dead,' the falcon ventured. 'Bonaparte, who is he?' 'I told you so. Wouldn't be bad if you knew, though. Imagine that you're giving a ball and that someone says this or that happened during Bonaparte's time, and you just blink your eyes! Why, it wouldn't do at all'.

She didn't even know until then that there is such a thing as the small of one's back.
