18 catch smb. on the rebound
(catch (или marry) smb. on the rebound)жениться на ком-л. или выйти замуж за кого-л. с горя, от несчастной любви [этим. спорт. on the rebound на отскоке (об ударе по мячу, теннис)]‘Poor little Fleur!’ sighed Holly. Ah! it was strange - this marriage. The young man, Mont, had caught her on the rebound, of course, in the reckless mood of one whose ship has just gone down. (J. Galsworthy, ‘To Let’, part III, ch. X) — - Бедная маленькая Флер! - вздохнула Холли. И в самом деле, разве не странная свадьба? Этому молодому человеку, Майклу Монту, Флер досталась, конечно, рикошетом: она пошла за него с отчаяния, когда корабль ее затонул.
All I'm asking... is that I need a little breathing space, I've seen what happens to girls who marry on the rebound. I've told you that I'm considering your proposal. (J. Wain, ‘Nuncle’, ‘Rafferty’) — Я прошу... только о небольшой отсрочке. Я ведь видела, что бывает с девушками, которые с горя выходят замуж, потому что сердце у них разбито. Я обдумываю твое предложение.
Amanda: "...She married him on the rebound - never loved her - carried my picture on him the night he died!" (T. Williams, ‘The Glass Menagerie’, sc. I) — Аманда: "...Она буквально женила Кейтса на себе - он не любил ее. В ту ночь, когда он умер, у него в кармане нашли мою фотокарточку!"
