42 break a butterfly on the wheel
≈ стрелять из пушки по воробьям [break on the wheel казнить посредством колесования; выражение break a butterfly upon the wheel создано А. Попом (1688-1744): Satire or sense, alas! Can Sporus feel? Who breaks a butterfly upon the wheel? (Epictle to Dr. Arbuthnot)]There isn't much in the book, certainly... I should have said that violent censure or violent praise would be equally thrown away upon it. One doesn't want to break a butterfly on the wheel... (A. Trollope, ‘The Way We Live Now’, ch. 11) — Конечно, это довольно серая книга. Ни хвалить ее, ни ругать особенно нечего - она того не стоит.
