without let or hindrance — sin estorbo ni obstáculo
LET
Meaning "allow"
► Translate using either dejar, especially in informal contexts, or permitir, especially in more formal contexts. Both verbs can be followed either by an infinitive or by que + ((subjunctive)):
Let me do it Déjame hacerlo, Déjame que lo haga
Let her have a look Deja que ella lo vea, Déjale verlo
We must not let the children see this No debemos permitir que los niños vean esto or permitir a los niños ver esto
Imperative
First person plural ► Translate let's and let us + ((verb)) using either vamos a + ((infinitive)) or using the present subjunctive of the main verb. The second construction is used particularly in formal language and when translating let's not:
Let's go for a walk! Vamos a dar un paseo
Let's consider the implications of the Government's decision Consideremos las implicaciones de la decisión del Gobierno
Let's not waste any more time No perdamos ya más tiempo To translate l et's go, use vamos or vámonos o n its own without a following infinitive:
Let's go to the theatre ¡Vamos al teatro! ► When let's is used on its own to reply to a suggestion, translate using vamos or vámonos i f the verb in the suggestion was ir. Use vale or venga if not:
"Shall we go?" - "Yes, let's" "¿Nos vamos?" - "¡Sí, vamos!" or "¡Sí, vámonos!"
"Shall we watch the match?" - "Yes, let's" "¿Vemos el partido?" - "Sí, vale" or "Sí, venga"
Third person ► When let introduces a command, suggestion or wish in the third person, translate using que + ((subjunctive)):
Let him come up! ¡Que suba!
Let there be no misunderstanding about this ¡Que no haya ningún malentendido sobre esto!
Let them do as they like ¡Que hagan lo que quieran! ► Be careful to distinguish between the "permission" sense of let sb do something and the "command" sense:
Please let them stay here (i.e. Please allow them to stay) Déjalos que se queden aquí or Déjalos quedarse aquí, por favor
Let them stay here! (i.e. expressing a decision or an order) ¡Que se queden aquí! When que is used in this sense, it never takes an accent. For further uses and examples, see main entry

3 let not the sun go down on your wrath

шутл.

( let not the sun go down on (или upon) your wrath)

не держи долго обиду, выясняй всё сразу [этим. библ. Ephesians IV, 26]

He is one of those kids who never let the sun go down on their wrath, if you now what I mean. I mean to say, do something to annoy or offend or upset this juvenile thug, and he will proceed at the earliest opportunity to wreak a hideous vengeance upon you. (P. G. Wodehouse, ‘Very Good, Jeeves!’, ch. VIII) — Томас Мол один из тех юнцов, которые себя в обиду не дадут. Если вам не понятно, что я хочу сказать, то я поясню. Если вы чем-нибудь не угодите этому юному головорезу, то он не будет медлить, а свершит свою страшную месть при первой же возможности.

It is imperative that I get hold of Pilbeam with all possible speed. Don't want the sun to go down on my wrath. All has ended happily in spite of him, but that's no reason why he shouldn't be massacred. (P. G. Wodehouse, ‘Summer Lightning’, ch. 13) — Я должен немедленно взяться за Пилбима. Не то, боюсь, скоро остыну. Хотя все и кончилось хорошо, с ним за его подлость надо расквитаться.

ⓘ Do you mind if I slip into something more comfortable? Cette formule ("Est-ce que ça vous dérange si j'enfile quelque chose de plus confortable?") a pour origine Hell's Angels ("Les Anges de l'Enfer"), un film américain de 1930 avec Jean Harlow. La phrase exacte que prononce l'actrice est would you be shocked if I changed into something more comfortable? ("est-ce que ça vous choquerait si j'enfilais quelque chose de plus confortable?") Cette formule évoque les vedettes féminines du cinéma américain des années 30 et 40 et notamment les scènes dans lesquelles celles-ci font des numéros de charme en revêtant des tenues sexy. Aujourd'hui on utilise cette phrase en allusion à l'air séducteur de Jean Harlow, le plus souvent sur le mode humoristique.
