100 take advantage
1) (of smth.) воспользоваться чем-л., использовать что-л. в своих интересах; злоупотреблять чем-л‘I think I'll take advantage of the rain stopping to go out,’ he said. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘Rain’) — - Я, пожалуй, воспользуюсь тем, что дождь перестал, и пройдусь немного, - сказал он.
You have been kind enough to listen to me. I will take no further advantage. (B. Shaw, ‘Platform and Pulpit’, ‘Foundation Oration’) — Вы любезно выслушали меня, и я больше не буду злоупотреблять вашим вниманием.
He was an unusually fine man, and could offer her things that others couldn't - not merely his money, but protection, and help in managing her affairs, in dealing with other people, who so often took advantage of her trustfulness and her lack of business knowledge. (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch. 10) — Он замечательный человек. Он может дать ей то, что не может никто другой. Я не деньги имею в виду: наконец-то у нее будет верная опора. Он поможет ей вести дела, а то ее вечно надувают, пользуясь ее доверчивостью и непрактичностью.
2) (of smb.) обмануть, перехитрить кого-л‘You have brought me here under false pretences,’ I cried. ‘You have taken cowardly advantage of me. If you have a spark of decency in you, you should be ashamed of yourself.’ (U. Sinclair, ‘The Moneychangers’, ch. V) — - Вы обманом заманили меня сюда, - крикнула я. - Вы трусливо злоупотребили моим доверием. Будь у вас хоть капля порядочности, вам было бы стыдно.
To Roy, who had never taken advantage of any man, this would be hard to accept. (J. Aldridge, ‘The Hunter’, ch. II) — Рою, который сам никогда не искал выгоды в чужой беде, трудно будет согласиться с этим.
