2 the sinews of war
деньги, материальные средства (обыкн. необходимые для ведения войны) [этим. лат. nervi belli pecunia]Since one of the leading grievances against England had been taxation, the Congress itself naturally had to be care ful about imposing burdens on the people. So it sought to provide the sinews of war by resorting to paper money, requisitions and loans. (Ch. and M. Beard, ‘The Rise of American Civilization’, ch. VII) — Чрезмерные налоги были одной из причин недовольства Англией. Поэтому Конгресс, естественно, должен был проявлять осторожность в отношении налогового бремени. Вот ему и приходилось изыскивать средства для ведения войны, прибегая к помощи реквизиций, займов и выпуску бумажных денег.
...the Pendridny estate was not only a going, but even a profitable concern, supporting itself and supplying some of the sinews of war towards Valley's House... and other general expenses (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Patrician’, part II, ch. I) —...имение Пендридни процветало и приносило доход, достаточный для покрытия расходов, связанных с его управлением... и для всяких других нужд.
