82 it is Greek to me
(it is Greek to me (you, etc.))это мне (вам и т. д.) совершенно непонятно; ≈ это для меня китайская грамотаIf only he could have understood the doctor's jargon, the medical niceties, so as to be sure he was weighing the chances properly; but they were Greek to him - like a legal problem to a layman. (J. Galsworthy, ‘In Chancery’, part III, ch. XII) — Если бы он хоть понимал этот докторский жаргон, все эти медицинские подробности так, что мог бы с уверенностью взвесить шансы; но это было для него абракадаброй, все равно как для непосвященного человека - юридическая проблема.
Sylvia: "...I don't know why you want to talk about something that's absolute Greek to me." (W. S. Maugham, ‘East of Suez’, sc. VII) — Сильвия: "...не знаю, почему это вы так любите говорить о том, что для меня совершенно непонятно."
