1 сгущать краски
lay (pile) it on thick; pile on the agony; exaggerate, overdo smth.; lay on the colours too thicklyРассказывал он ей и о своих фронтовых впечатлениях, намеренно сгущая краски в том смысле, что старался представить фронтовую жизнь очень прозаической, обыкновенной и даже скучной. (Эм. Казакевич, Сердце друга) — He gave her his impressions of the front, too, rather overdoing it to make life there seem drab, dull and even boring.
Не берусь, однако, утверждать, что Узелков принадлежал именно к этой категории людей. Не хочу также сгущать краски в его изображении, чтобы никто не подумал, будто я стремлюсь теперь, по прошествии многих лет, свести с ним давние личные счёты. (П. Нилин, Жестокость) — I would not say, of course, that Uzelkov was quite that sort. Why should I lay it on so thick? Someone might think I had a grudge against him and was trying to get even after all these years.
