Any one of them would have laughed out loud at the idea that a man who could be brought before them under guard at any time of the day or night, who had to hold up his trousers with his hands and spoke without the slightest attempt at theatrical effects-that such a man might have no doubt, despite everything, of his right to express himself freely in poetry (1a).

  • 114 на ... взгляд

    На (мой) взгляд-- To my mind the most interesting feature of these models is that they show that hard asperities can produce an "ironing out" of a plastic bulge ahead of the asperity. На первый взгляд - at first sight, at first glance, at first blush, at first consideration; at first; seemingly; on the face of it; on the surface; superficially
     At first sight this approach seems to be anomalous since only positive pressures have been allowed when calculating the orbits.
     At first glance, the rather large tensile stresses appear to be well above the 0.2 percent offset yield strength.
     While it might at first blush appear that this increases the complexity of the system, in fact it doesn't.
     Thus a method that, at first consideration, seems quite promising turns out under closer inspection to have some very discouraging deficiencies.
     Another problem, although seemingly unrelated, shares some common features with that studied here.
     On the face of it this would seem then to run contrary to our theory.
     On the surface, it looks no different from other coals, although it is slightly more brittle.

    бог-то бог, да <и> сам не будь плох
    погов.
    God is God but don't be a clod!; cf. God (the Lord, Heaven) helps those (them) who help themselves

    - Да, - сочувственно и даже с болью отозвался на это печальное описание Полотенцев. - Подумаешь, прикинешь, в какую вы беду себя вовлекли, Меркурий Авдеевич, расселив на своём владении подозрительных лиц. Но вот вы говорите - бог им судья. Бог-то бог, да и сам не будь плох. Мы ведь призваны судить на земле. На небеси осудят без нас. (К. Федин, Первые радости) — 'Yes,' was Polotentsev's response, made with sympathy and even pained fellow feeling, to this sad story. 'Just think, Merkuri Avdeyevich, just consider what misfortunes you have brought on yourself by letting your rooms to suspicious persons. You say - let God be their judge; God helps only those who help themselves. We are appointed to judge people here below. In heaven judgement will be meted out to them without us.'

    - Я вам расскажу, мужики, сказку-побасенку... "Вороне где-то бог прислал кусочек сыру..." Мужики засмеялись, зашумели, а Егор продолжал: - Бог, как говорится, бог, да сам не будь плох! Так и тут. Ворона из-за того куска погибнуть могла. (Н. Вирта, Одиночество) — 'Men, I'll tell you a little story, a fable... 'God sent the crow a piece of cheese...' The men began to talk and laugh, but Yegor continued: 'God is God but don't be a clod! Same thing here. That piece of cheese might well have been the crow's undoing.'

    - Не нужны, знать, тебе деньги. - Нужны, да не чужие... - Да что с тобой, дураком, толковать! Как об стену горохом. (А. Чехов, Барыня) — 'You don't require money.' 'I require it, but not other people's!'...'But what's the use of talking to a fool like you? It's like throwing pans at a wall.'

    - Планируют ячмень. А он здесь испокон веку плохо родит. Тоже есть тому доказательства. А попробуйте заменить ячмень горохом! Пишем, пишем, спорим, доказываем - как об стенку горохом! (В. Овечкин, В одном колхозе) — 'They make us plant barley. And barley has always yielded poorly here, we have proofs of that too. But just try getting them to substitute peas!
