Нам нужно получить разные мнения/точки зрения по этому поводу. In my view, women should be paid the same as men. С моей точки зрения женщины должны получать зарплату равную с мужчинами. /Я считаю, что женщины должны получать зарплату равную с мужчинами. It is important to look at this from the child's point of view. Важно посмотреть на это с детской точки зрения. From a personal viewpoint, I'd say the whole thing was a disaster. Я лично считаю, что все это сплошной ужас. /Мне все это видится как абсолютный провал. The book is written from the vantage point of the losers. Книга написана с точки зрения/с позиции потерпевшего/проигравшего. I see things from a slightly different perspective. Я смотрю на это несколько иначе. /Мне это видится в другом свете. From where we stand, there is only one answer to that question. С нашей точки зрения на этот вопрос есть только один ответ. He spelled out his vision of the future. Он описал свое видение будущего. Try to see it from somebody else's standpoint. Постарайтесь посмотреть на ситуацию с другой точки зрения/с другой позиции. Let's look at this from a slightly different angle. Давайте посмотрим на это несколько под иным углом зрения. There's more to it than meets the eye. Думаю, здесь гораздо больше, чем лежит на поверхности. He accused his opponents of suffering from tunnel vision. Он обвинял своих оппонентов в предвзятом/ограниченном/однообразном/прямолинейном видении (ситуации). She's always had a blind spot where her children are concerned. Когда дело касается ее детей, она теряет ясность суждения/всякую объективность

  • 112 Pique

    Sometimes abbreviated to P.K. See full pique and half pique. A type of seaming for gloves. ———————— Dobby cloths composed of two warps and two wefts. The face warp is lightly weighted, and weaves plain with the face weft. The back warp is heavily weighted, and stitches through the plain face cloth, according to a prearranged design. At the stitching points the face cloth is pulled down, causing the face to form an embossed surface. The second weft is used as wadding to make the raised figuring more pronounced. The face warp and weft are usually finer than those used for stitching and wadding and in the proportion of 2: 1, such as 2 ends 32's face 1 end 24's back. A popular cloth is made 40-in., 40/45 yards, 100 face 32's super Egyptian, 50 back 2/60's super American, 120 face picks 42's super Egyptian, and 64 wadding picks 18's super American. The finer piques are rather expensive.

  • 116 ἐρωή

    Grammatical information: f.
    Meaning: 1. `rush, impulse, force, throw', in the Il. mostly of spears ( δουρός, βελέων ἐ.), also of men ( ἀνδρός, λικμητῆρος, Πηνελέοιο), after Hom. of other objects ( πετράων A. R. 4, 1657, πυρός AP 9, 490, γαστρός Opp. K. 3, 175, περὶ Κύπριν AP 10, 112). 2. `withdrawal, rest', in the Il. of battle ( πολέμου Π 302, Ρ 761), thus Theoc. 22, 192 ( μάχης), also δακρύων (Mosch. 4, 40) and absolute `rescue' (D. P. 601).
    Derivatives: Beside it ἐρωέω, aor. ἐρωῆσαι 1. intr. `draw back, withdraw, leave, rest from', also with ἀπ-, ἐξ-, ὑπ-, mostly with ablat. gen. πολέμοιο, χάρμης (Il.), καμάτοιο (h. Cer. 301) a. o., also absol. `escape a disease' (Nic.); 2. trans. `force back, push back' (Ν 57, Theoc., Call.), also `quit' (Theoc.); also of blood αἶμα κελαινὸν ἐρωήσει περὶ δουρί (Α 303 = π 441), translated with `flow, stream'. - From ἐρωέω: ἐρωΐα f. `respite, rest' (Theoc. 30, 9); from ἀπερωέω: ἀπερωεύς `who hinders, who frustrates' ( ἐμῶν μενέων Θ 361; diff. Boßhardt Die Nomina auf - ευς 29).
    Origin: IE [Indo-European] [338] *h₁reh₁-u̯- `rest', and?
    Etymology: Since Fick KZ 22, 375 two homonyms are distinguished. 1. ἐρωή `Schwung etc.' with ἐρωέω `flow, stream' (Α 303 = π 441) from IE. *rōs-ā́ in Germ., MLG. rās n. `strong flow', OE. rǣs m. `run, attack', ON rās f. `run', IE. * rēs-o-, -ā; ON rasa `fall down' with ras n. `falling down', NHG rasen, IE * rǝs-; cf. Persson KZ 48, 132f. Lat. rōrāriī pl. `lightly armed skirmishers, who start battle with slings' from * rōsā `Schwung, throw' = ἐρωή. - 2. ἐρωή `rest' with ἐρωέω `rest etc.' from IE *rōu̯ā́ = Germ., OHG ruowa, OE row, ON rō f. `rest'; beside OHG rāwa `id.', IE *rēu̯ā; other, partly doubtful connections in WP. 1, 149ff. and. 1, 144, Pok. 336, 338. - This presentation must be controlled; note that ἐρωή `Schwung etc.' and the verb ἐρωέω `rest etc.' is much more frquent than ἐρωή `rest' and notably ἐρωέω `streamen (?)'. - To be rejected Boßhardt l. c.: ἐρωή `rest' to ἐρύκω, ἐρύω, ἐρύομαι and zu ἐρητύω.
