2 капля камень долбит
капля <и> камень долбит (точит)посл.a drop of water can wear away a stone; drop by drop (constant dropping) wears (will wear) < away> the stone; cf. little strokes fell great oaks; small rain lays great dust- А я не понимаю, как об этом можно молчать? Я же ничего другого сделать не могу! Вот и долблю... - Помолчала и жалобно добавила: - Ведь и капля камень долбит. (Г. Николаева, Повесть о директоре МТС и главном агрономе) — 'And I can't see how I can be silent about it,' she replied. 'There's nothing else I can do, you know. And so I go on hammering.' She paused, and then added dolefully: 'Even a drop wears down a rock.'
- По действующим правилам нельзя пересдавать больше двух раз - на третий ставится вопрос об отчислении. А деканат, как известно, боится отсева. Вот и присылает "в порядке исключения" раз за разом. Капля долбит камень. Учтёшь всё это, подумаешь-подумаешь и поставишь тройку... (И. Грекова, Кафедра) — According to the existing rules a student cannot take the same exam more than twice - after that the question of expelling the student arises. But the dean's office, as we know, hates losing students. So it sends him back 'by way of an exception', time after time. A drop of water can wear away a stone. You think about it and taking this into consideration give him a 'three'.
