  • 9 live by one's wits

    изворачиваться, всеми правдами и неправдами добывать средства к жизни; жить на сомнительные доходы

    ...gentlemen who, like Messrs. Pyke and Pluck, live upon their wits (or not so much perhaps, upon the presence of their own wits as upon the absence of wits in other people) are occasionally reduced to very narrow shifts and straits... (Ch. Dickens, ‘Nicholas Nickleby’, ch. XXVII) — Такие джентльмены, как Пайк и Плак, живущие своим умом (или, пожалуй, не столько своим умом, сколько отсутствием оного у других), иной раз попадают в весьма затруднительное положение...

    Fred Hardy was no fool; he could hardly have lived for twenty-five years on his wits in tolerable comfort unless he had had them all about him. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Lion's Skin’) — Фред Харди был не глуп. Вряд ли он прожил бы целых двадцать пять лет в относительном комфорте на сомнительные доходы, если бы не соображал, что к чему.

    Mitzi: "Alas, yes - the life of an adventures is not an easy one." Duchess: "Adventuress!" Mitzi: "Hasn't Monsieur Felix warned you - I live by my wits." (N. Coward, ‘Operette’, act I, sc. II) — Митци: "Увы, жизнь авантюристки не легкая!" Герцогиня: "Авантюристки!" Митци: "Разве мосье Феликс не предупредил вас, что я добываю себе пропитание всеми правдами и неправдами?"

  • 10 one's wits are wool-gathering

    разг.
    рассеянный; витающий в облаках

    ‘I crave pardon, honourable sir! But my wits -’ ‘Are gone a wool-gathering, I think...’ (W. Scott, ‘Guy Mannering’, ch. XLVII) — - Прошу прощения, достопочтенный сэр, - но у меня ум... - Зашел за разум, я полагаю...

    Why on earth you didn't get hold of the doctor at once, Clement, I cannot think. Your wits must have all gone wool gathering. (A. Christie, ‘The Murder at the Vicarage’, ch. XXIX) — Не могу понять, Клемент, почему вы сразу же не вызвали доктора. Непостижимая рассеянность.

    Alma: "Excuse me, Roger. My wits are woolgathering." (T. Williams, ‘The Eccentricities of a Nightingale’, act II, sc. 4) — Алма: "Простите меня, Роджер. Я замечталась."

  • 12 be one step ahead of the sheriff

    амер.
    погрязнуть в долгах; испытывать денежные затруднения; ≈ сидеть на мели

    My curiosities throw a wide net. I have always been fascinated by the charecter who tepresents the opposite of my New England... the man who lives by his wits, "one step ahead of the sheriff"... at the margin of decorous living, delighted to outwit the clods... (Th. Wilder, ‘Theophilus North’, ‘The Nine Ambitions’) — Я с жадностью набрасывался на книги, увлекался героями, которые, как небо от земли, отличались от жителей Новой Англии... Это люди, постоянно сидящие без денег, всеми правдами и неправдами добывающие средства к существованию... живущие на грани нарушения закона и испытывающие огромное удовольствие, когда им удается облапошить какого-нибудь простофилю.

    Ever since they took over that business they have been just one step ahead of the sheriff. (HAI) — С тех пор как эта фирма перешла к ним, они никак не могут выбраться из долгов.
