2) горящий желанием, сгорающий от нетерпенияAileen... had heard Cowperwood's voice, and was on the qui vive to see him. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Financier’, ch. XXVII) — Эйлин... слышала голос Каупервуда, и ей не терпелось увидеть его.
Unfortunately Aileen was too obviously on the qui vive for those opportunities which might lead to social recognition and equality... (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Titan’, ch. IX) — К несчастью, Эйлин слишком явно искала случая утвердиться в обществе и добиться признания...
All the smug minor manikins of the social world were on the qui vive for some cottonheaded doll of a girl with an endless bank account. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Titan’, ch. LI) — Все эти светские юнцы, эти самодовольные, разряженные манекены охотились за любой безмозглой куклой, лишь бы у нее был солидный банковский счет.

The Canadians were very kind. (J. Steinbeck, ‘Travels with Charley’, part II) — Я проехал по высокому мосту, уплатив пошлину за проезд, преодолел нейтральную зону и подкатил к тому месту, где звездно-полосатое знамя бок о бок соседствует с государственным флагом Соединенного Королевства. Канадцы были очень любезны.
Only a few tables were occupied; they seemed to have been chosen with a view to creating a no Man's land between each cluster of guests. (S. Heym, ‘The Eyes of Reason’, book I, ch. 10) — Занято было всего несколько столиков, а сидевшие за ними группками посетители явно заботились о том, чтобы вокруг их компании оставалась нейтральная зона.
