3 forlorn hope
1) воен. отряд, обречённый на гибель [букв. потерянная надежда; этим. голл. verloren hoop]His grandfather was a trooper in Monk's army, and one of the party of dismounted dragoons which formed the forlorn hope at the storming of Dundee in 1651. (W. Scott, ‘The Heart of Mid-Lothian’, ch. VIII) — Его дед был кавалеристом в армии Монка и входил в состав отряда пеших драгун, отчаянно штурмовавших Данди в 1651 году.
‘I go first,’ she said, in a tone which might have befitted the leader of a forlorn hope mounting a breach in the van of his men. (Ch. Brontë, ‘Jane Eyre’, ch. XVIII) — - я иду первая, - заявила мисс Инграм таким тоном, как сказал бы предводитель отряда, идущего на верную гибель.
2) очень слабая надежда; последняя надеждаThis light was my forlorn hope: I must gain it. (Ch. Brontë, ‘Jane Eyre’, ch. XXVIII) — Огонек был моей последней надеждой. я должна до него дойти!
...he marched out of 12, Duck Street at ten minutes to two, in the somewhat forlorn hope of finding some diversion. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Wonder Hero’, ch. I) —...Чарли вышел из дома 12 по Дан-стрит без десяти два в тщетной надежде найти какое-нибудь развлечение.
...there burned in her a steady bright flame, the feminine desire to come to terms with the other sex, and she would lead this forlorn hope until she dropped or until some astonished male capitulated out of gallant amazement. (J. B. Priestley, ‘They Walk in the City’, ch. X) —...но в Куини горело неугасимое пламя чисто женского желания все же поладить с сильным полом, и она была готова тянуться до этой призрачной надеждой, пока либо совсем не свалится с ног, либо какой-нибудь мужчина, пораженный такой настойчивостью, в изумлении не капитулирует перед ней.
3) невыполнимая задача, безнадёжное предприятие; ≈ гиблое делоAnnette's handsome presence... was always pleasing to Michael, who had never forgotten her espousal of his suit in days when it was a forlorn hope. (J. Galsworthy, ‘The White Monkey’, part III, ch. III) — Присутствие красавицы Аннет... всегда было приятно Майклу, который не забывал, как она его поддержала в то время, когда все надежды, казалось, рухнули.
Davy guessed that Brock himself was torn between suspicion of the sudden offer and Stewart's private assurance that the patent application was a forlorn hope. (M. Wilson, ‘My Brother, My Enemy’, ch. 2) — Дейви догадывался, что, с одной стороны, столь неожиданное предложение кажется Броку подозрительным, но, с другой стороны, Стюарт заверил его, что заявка на патент - дело безнадежное.
