    He could never buttonhole the ordinary voter, and say to him: ‘Look here, you know, there's no earthly hope of any real improvement for another ten years; in the meantime we must face the music, and pay more for everything... so that twenty years hence we may be safe from possible starvation, and self-supporting within the Empire.’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Silver Spoon’, part I, ch. XII) — Не может он пойти к рядовому избирателю и сказать ему: "Послушайте, нечего надеяться на то, что в течение следующих десяти лет условия жизни значительно улучшатся; мы... должны пока потерпеть, за все переплачивать, для того чтобы через двадцать лет Англия могла сама себя прокормить и не жить под угрозой голодной смерти".

    Mrs. Dot: "Well, the fact is, Freddie... Poor Nellie Sellenger is desperately in love with you." Freddie: "I don't see why you should want me to go away on that account... Nothing will induce me to desert a post of danger. I'm going to face the music." (W. S. Maugham, ‘Mrs. Dot’, act II) — Миссис Дот: "Нет никакого сомнения, Фредди... что бедняжка Нелли Селленджер безумно влюблена в вас." Фредди: "Не понимаю, почему вы хотите, чтобы я из-за этого ушел. Ничто не заставит меня отступить с опасных позиций. я выдержу испытание не дрогнув."

    2) держать ответ за что-л., расплачиваться за свои поступки

    ‘I gather,’ said Michael, with a spurt of cheerfulness, ‘That it was only in the desert both times that Jule heard the story.’ ‘What's in the desert to-day is in the bazaars to-morrow. It's no use, I shall have to face the music.’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘Flowering Wilderness’, ch. X) — - По словам того же Юола, об этом пока говорят только в пустыне, - сказал Майкл, пытаясь приободрить Дезерта. - Сегодня в пустыне, завтра - на базарах. Пропащее дело. Придется испить чашу до дна.

    ‘You're wrong,’ she said. ‘I'm sure you're wrong. It'd be far better to go back and face the music.’ (A. Christie, ‘So Many Steps to Death’, ch. 21) — - Вы поступаете неправильно, - сказала Хилари. - я уверена, что неправильно. Для вас было бы гораздо лучше вернуться на родину и держать ответ перед законом.

    In two months they were engaged. Beryl refused to go home for her holi days, she said she wouldn't leave Frank, so Al was left to face the music alone. (D. Hewett, ‘Bobbin Up’, ch. 6) — через два месяца Фрэк и Берил обручились. Берил отказалась ехать в отпуск домой, чтобы не разлучаться с Фрэком. Элис пришлось одной выдержать бурю.

  • 122 stand in the gap

    заполнить пробел, занять свободное место

    It suddenly came to me that my life had hitherto been spent as an observer, never as a participant and the fault was mine. One doesn't wait to be selected: one steps into the gap. (A. Marshall, ‘This Is the Grass’, book III, ch. V) — Неожиданно мне в голову пришла мысль, что до сих пор я жил как наблюдатель, не принимая активного участия в жизни. И в этом повинен я сам. Нельзя ждать, пока тебя выберут, надо самому искать свое место в жизни.
