15 the language of flowers
"язык цветов"Perhaps she just looked first into the bouquet to see whether there was a billet-doux hidden among the flowers; but there was no letter. ‘Do they talk the language of flowers at Boggley Wollah, Sedley?’ asked Osborne laughing. (W. Thackeray, ‘Vanity Fair’, ch. IV) — Очень может быть, что прежде всего она заглянула внутрь букета, чтобы узнать, нет ли там какого-нибудь billet-doux [фр. любовное письмо], спрятанного среди цветов; но письма не было. - А что, Седли, у вас в Богли-Уоллаке умеют разговаривать на языке цветов? - спросил, смеясь, Осборн.
‘I'm afraid I don't understand this conversation,’ said Charlotte. ‘No doubt I am getting old and out of touch with young people. I don't understand the language of flowers any more.’ (I. Murdoch, ‘An Accidental Man’) — - Боюсь, что этот разговор мне непонятен, - сказала Шарлотта. - Я старею, совсем не знаю нынешнюю молодежь. И разучилась понимать язык цветов.

16 the pros and cons
доводы "за" и "против"; см. тж. pro and conAt length the lady of the caravan shook off her fit of meditation, summoning the driver to come under the window at which she was seated, held a long conversation with him in a low tone of voice as if she were asking his advice on an important matter, and discussing the pros and cons of some very weighty matter. (Ch. Dickens, ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’, part I, ch. XXVII) — Но вот хозяйка фургона стряхнула с себя задумчивость, подозвала к своему окну возчика и завела длинный разговор вполголоса, видимо, спрашивая его совета и обсуждая со всех сторон какой-то весьма важный вопрос.
He would weight the pros and cons of an issue until his aides were in despair, then make up his mind and never waver again. (F. Knebel and Ch. Bailey, ‘Seven Days in May’, ‘Monday’) — Приводя в отчаяние своих помощников, он долго взвешивал все за и против, но, приняв решение, уже никогда от него не отступал.

According to Mr. Coffin she paced the floor all night, or at least when he had slipped off to the Land of Nod she was still pacing... (G.
