4 throw a monkey wrench in smth.
(throw a monkey wrench in (или into) smth. (первонач. throw a monkey wrench in или into the machinery или works))испортить всё дело; ≈ вставлять палки в колёса...and here stood "Wild Bill", ripping to shreds the reputation of the young plutocrat of the Empire Shops. ‘What's what you... are sweating for! That's why you'll got to be good, and not throw monkey wrenches in the machinery - so the seven broken-hearted chorus-girls can drown their sorrows in champagne!’ (U. Sinclair, ‘Jimmie Higgins’, ch. VI) — Но тут-то и выступил Неистовый Билл со своим обличением молодого плутократа, будущего хозяина завода "Эмпайр". "Вот ради чего вы... обливаетесь потом! Вот ради чего вы должны быть паиньками и вести себя тише воды, ниже травы. Ради того, чтобы семь безутешных хористок могли потопить свое горе в шампанском!"
‘I knew she'd come back with some monkey wrench to throw into the machinery.’ ‘Why?’ ‘Cause then she'd make out a new contract with you... and it would be her sale.’ (E. S. Gardner, ‘Fools Die on Friday’, ch. 10) — - Я знал, что Этел вернется и под каким-нибудь предлогом попытается порвать с вами контракт. - Зачем? - Чтобы заключить новый... более для нее выгодный.
It's this continual necessity to run back and forth between Washington and the home district that throws a monkey wrench into the smooth functioning of the government. (E. Caldwell, ‘This Very Earth’, ch. VII) — Конгрессмену приходится непрерывно курсировать между Вашингтоном и своим избирательным округом, что мешает ему выполнять свои прямые обязанности.
