Никита Хрущёв обещал построить коммунизм за 20 лет, но теперь ясно видно, что он вряд ли будет построен и через 200 лет( Войнович 1). When making predictions about time, Party ideologists often fall flat on their faces. Nikita Khrushchev promised that Communism would be built in twenty years, but now it's clear that it can scarcely be built in two hundred (1a).♦ [Сатин (Барону, смеясь):] Вы, ваше вашество, опять торжественно сели в лужу! Образованный человек, а карту передёрнуть не можете... (Горький 3). [S. (to the Baron, laughing):) Your Lordship has put your foot into it with a vengeance again. An educated man and doesn't even know how to cheat! (3e).♦ [Муромский:] Посередь-то высшего общества не сесть бы в лужу. [Атуева:] И в лужу не сяду! (Сухово-Кобылин 2). [М.:] Маке sure you don't come a cropper, with all of your high society looking on. [A.:] I won't come a cropper! (2a).♦ "Его, чёрта, голыми руками не возьмёшь... Оперативников просить? А вдруг нет там никакого Цыганкова, а если и был, то второй раз на одно место не придёт? Значит, сядем в галошу, Лашков" (Максимов 3). "You won't catch that devil bare-handed....Maybe we ought to call the Criminal Investigation Squad? But what if it wasn't Tsygankov at all, or maybe he was there but won't come to the same place twice? We'd look pretty stupid, Lashkov" (3a).♦ "Всё сгнило здесь, - думал Максим. - Ни одного живого человека. Ни одной ясной головы. И опять я сел в галошу, потому что понадеялся на кого-то или на что-то" (Стругацкие 2). "Everything is rotten here," thought Maxim. "There isn't one real man among them. Not a single clear head. And I've gotten myself into a mess again because I relied on other people" (2a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > сесть в лужу
