123 catch the whigs bathing and walk away with their clothes
"подкараулить противника во время купания и унести его одежду (воспользоваться его одеждой)", нарядиться в тогу противника, выступать в доспехах противника, т. е. начать проводить политику другой партии [выражение создано Б. Дизраэли: The Right Honourable gentleman Sir Robert Peel - автор] caught the Whigs bathing and walked away with their clothes. (‘Speech in the House of Commons’, Febr. 28, 1845)The current doctrine is that Labour must ape the Tory in order to unseat him... It is appearance that counts in this wicked world and there's a world of difference between stealing your opponent's clothes while he is bathing, and then leaving him naked and presumably ashamed, and wearing your opponent's borrowed and wornout trousers. (‘Tribune’) — Лейборист наших дней, чтобы занять в парламенте место консерватора, должен походить на последнего как две капли воды... Да, в этом жестоком мире внешности придается слишком большое значение. Но ведь есть же разница между элегантным платьем, украденным у ничего не подозревающего противника, который, оказавшись нагишом, заливается краской стыда, и потертыми штанами, взятыми у противника напрокат.
