2 push one's fortune
стараться улучшить своё благосостояние; сделать карьеруTo you of all men, Mr. Pinch, I have a right to make appeal on Mind's behalf when it has not the art to push its fortune in the world. And so, sir... I ask the loan of three half-crowns. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Martin Chuzzlewit’, ch. VII) — К вам, предпочтительно перед всеми людьми, обращаюсь я, мистер Пинч, от лица Разума, который не может отвоевать себе место под солнцем. Итак, сэр... я прошу у вас взаймы три полкроны.
...a smart but rather incomprehensible young newspaper reporter... had just come up to London to push his fortunes, and was anxious for something called a "scoop". (H. J. Wells, ‘Christina Alberta's Father’, book II, ch. II) —...ловкий, но малоизвестный молодой репортер... только что приехал в Лондон делать карьеру и теперь вынюхивал какую-нибудь сенсационную новость.
