34 ask for the moon
(ask (cry или wish) for the moon (тж. want the moon))"просить луну с неба", желать, требовать невозможного"Crying for the moon" had become a principle when he was already much too old for principles. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Swan Song’, part II, ch. V) — "Желать невозможного" стало принципом, когда всякие принципы уже утратили для него свое значение.
To be safe in his job while he was fit for it, and after that to have a little place of his own, with a garden... that was not asking much, and yet, for all the firm's increased turnover and its rises, he could not help thinking it was really like asking for the moon. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. VI) — Быть уверенным, что не лишишься работы, пока способен трудиться, а потом, уйдя на покой, иметь свой собственный домик и сад... это ведь не так уж много, между тем, несмотря на процветание фирмы и увеличение оборотов, это так же несбыточно, как достать луну с неба.
If this is true, then he is not a man. He is still a little boy and wants the moon. (J. Steinbeck, ‘Cup of Gold’, ch. 3) — Если это верно, то он не мужчина, а ребенок, которому подавай луну с неба.
How can I maintain it alone? If only some help was possible. But that is like a child wishing for the moon. (A. J. Cronin, ‘A Thing of Beauty’, part III, ch. VIII) — Разве я могу одна управиться с хозяйством? Если была бы хоть какая-нибудь подмога. Но об этом нечего и мечтать.

(J. Aldridge, ‘The Diplomat’, ch. XXVI) — Вы можете как угодно обращаться с вашими слугами; но если вы так глупы, что можете выслать нам навстречу бандитов, нанося оскорбление нам лично и нашему статусу, вы явно напрашиваетесь на неприятности...
‘In my experience,’ said Lord Caterham, ‘people who go about looking for trouble usually find it.’ (A. Christie, ‘The Seven Dials Mystery’, ch. V) — - Жизненный опыт подсказывает мне, - сказал лорд Кэтерем, - что люди, которые ищут ссоры, обычно находят ее.
