121 hook, line and sinker
целиком, полностью; всё вместе взятое [букв. крючок, леса и грузило]Why do you think your mother agreed to our leaving Patricia with her and thus upsetting her whole busy life?.. Because I wanted an anchor that would save me. I did not realise till you swallowed Horst's flattery, hook, line and sinker, that you needed an anchor more than I. (D. Cusack, ‘Heatwave in Berlin’, ch. 17) — Как ты думаешь, почему твоя мать согласилась оставить у себя Патрицию и перевернуть вверх дном всю свою жизнь?.. Потому что мне нужен был якорь спасения. Но когда ты проглотила лесть Хорста, как доверчивая рыбка глотает наживку вместе с поплавком и леской, я понял, что якорь спасения тебе нужен больше, чем мне.
I was the mug. I fell for it, hook, line and sinker. (A. Marshall, ‘In Mine Own Heart’, ch. IX) — я оказался в дураках, попался на удочку как последний болван.
