1) деревянные и каменные фигурки богов, идолы, истуканы [этим. библ. Deuteronomy XXVIII, 36]Those whom we regard as idolaters, and worshippers of stocks and stones... (W. Scott, ‘The Talisman’, ch. XXVIII) — Это те, которых мы считаем идолопоклонниками, язычники, поклоняющиеся деревьям и камням.
Save that Bowden and Steer passed each other as of they were stocks or stones... the affair might have been considered at an end. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Caravan’, ‘A Feud’) — Если не считать того, что Бауден и Стир, встречаясь, смотрели друг на друга, словно видели перед собой груду мусора... дело, казалось, было окончено.
3) бесчувственные люди (ср. статуй бесчувственный; тж. употр. в ед. ч.); см. тж. a stick and a stone‘You stock and stone!’ exclaimed Miss Havisham. ‘You cold, cold heart!’ (Ch. Dickens, ‘Great Expectations’, ch. XXXVIII) — - О, бесчувственная! - воскликнула мисс Хэвишем. - О, холодное, холодное сердце!
I do everything I can to make you love me and I can't. If you're a stock and a stone, how can I teach you to be the passionate lover? I want you to love me as I love you. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Mrs. Craddock’, ch. XX) — Я делаю все, что могу, чтобы ты любил меня, и все безуспешно. Если ты каменный, как сделать из тебя страстного возлюбленного? Я хочу, чтобы ты любил меня так же, как я тебя люблю.
