  • 3 put smb. on the spot

    1) поставить кого-л. в опасное или затруднительное положение

    Janet: "You are putting me rather on the spot, Chorley - I really don't want to appear disagreeable, but you see..." (N. Coward, ‘Peace in Our Time’, act I, sc. III) — Джанет: "Ты ставишь меня в затруднительное положение, Чорли. Я не хочу говорить неприятные вещи, но, видишь ли..."

    ...the chaps we're really interested in are Hawtin and his pals. I think we might be able to put them on the spot, don't you? (C. P. Snow, ‘The Conscience of the Rich’, ch. XXXIV) —...люди, которыми мы действительно интересуемся, - это Хотин и его друзья. Я надеюсь, нам удастся их разоблачить. Как вы думаете?

    2) послать кого-л. на верную смерть ( способ избавиться от провинившегося члена шайки) [первонач. амер.; жарг.]

    Gang leaders can't always control their own men, and if one of them starts to shoot up a rival gang, the leader can either take on his quarrel or put him on the spot - send him to some place where the other gang can get him. (E. Wallace, ‘On the Spot’, ch. VIII) — Главари не всегда могут контролировать действия всех членов своей шайки, и если кто-нибудь начнет самовольно убивать своих конкурентов, то главарь либо поддержит его, либо решит от него избавиться, дослав на верную смерть, зная, что другая шайка укокошит его.

  • 12 pie in the sky

    ирон.
    "пирог на том свете", рай на небесах, пустые посулы [первонач. амер.; выражение взято из песни американских рабочих, членов организации "Индустриальные рабочие мира":
    In that glorious land above the sky.
    Work and pray, live on hay
    You'll get pie in the sky when you die.
    Есть будешь сытно, вкусно и много.
    А пока ешь мякину, трудись да гни спину.
    И сам Господь Бог поднесет тебе сладкий пирог.
    (перевод Е. Калашниковой, В. Ливановской и Н. Треневой)]

    ‘When I'm gone this'll all be yours, son,’ the old man used to say, sweeping his hand over his rolling acres. But it was like pie in the sky to Clarry slaving from sun-up to sundown, on pocket money. (D. Hewett, ‘Bobbin Up’, ch. 6) — - Когда меня не станет, все это будет твое, - говорил, бывало, старик, широким жестом показывая на бескрайние поля, уходящие к горизонту. Но для Кларри это было все равно что журавль в небе. Кларри ведь гнул на отца спину с утра до ночи и получал гроши на карманные расходы.

    Donnington: "...It sounds to me just like so much preaching. We're in a tough spot here. And I don't care about pie in the sky." (J. B. Priestley, ‘Desert Highway’, act II) — Доннингтон: "...Все это похоже на проповедь. А мы здесь находимся в трудном положении. Мне совершенно не нужны пустые посулы."

    ‘Things'll be different now.’ ‘Don't look as if they are,’ said the man. ‘We can't expect 'em different in a few weeks.’ ‘It's still pie in the sky,’ said Lukins. (J. Lindsay, ‘Betrayed Spring’, ch. V) — - Теперь-то все будет иначе. - Что-то не видно, - заметил пожилой шахтер. - За несколько недель не может все измениться. - Это тот же рай на небесах. - сказал Люкинс.
