  • 4 рубить сплеча

    разг., неодобр.
    1) (говорить прямо, резко, не стесняясь в выборе слов) speak straight from the shoulder; blurt out the truth ( in spite of everything and without respect of persons)

    Львов честен, прям и рубит сплеча, не щадя живота. Если нужно, он бросит под карету бомбу, даст по рылу инспектору, пустит подлеца. (А. Чехов, Письмо А. С. Суворину, 30 декабря 1888) — Lvov is honest and straightforward, and he blurts out the truth without sparing himself. If necessary, he will throw a bomb at a carriage, give a school inspector a blow in the face, or call a man a scoundrel.

    2) (действовать прямолинейно, необдуманно, сгоряча) do smth. in an off-hand manner, on the spur of the moment; strike straight from the shoul derog.; cf. shoot from the hip; leap before looking

    - Нет чтобы подойти да спросить по-человечески: чем, дескать, ты, батя, руководствуешься, какие такие соображения засели в твоей голове? Я бы тебе и рассказал начистоту свою задумку. А ты сплеча рубанул - и был таков. (В. Попов, Обретёшь в бою) — 'Couldn't you have come to me like one man to another and said, what's the reason for it, dad? What made you do such a thing? I'd have come out with the whole thing. But no, you had to leap before looking.'

    Я не знала, как правильнее поступить. По складу характера мало склонная к колебаниям (обычно рублю сплеча), я стала нерешительна, оглядчива. (И. Грекова, Кафедра) — I didn't know what was the right thing to do. Not given generally to hesitating (I usually decide everything on the spur of the moment) I had become indecisive, cautious.

    - Почему молодёжь не думает, почему рубит сплеча? Есть же примеры, есть опыт старших. (В. Ерёменко, Слепой дождь) — 'Why do young people not stop to think? Why do they strike straight from the shoulder? After all, there are examples for them to follow, older people's experience.'
