16 the lesser evil
(the lesser evil (тж. the lesser of two evils))наименьшее зло; см. тж. of two evils choose the leastThe agreement between Lincoln and the Radicals was not, as some have since said, a choice of the "lesser evil" by the latter. Up to the time of the split, Lincoln had headed the joint group of revolutionary forces; and despite his many weaknesses and errors, the movement was making progress under his leadership - with heavy pressure from the Radicals. (W. Foster, ‘The Negro People in American History’, ch. 24) — Вопреки утверждению многих, соглашение между Линкольном и радикалами не было для последних выбором "меньшего зла". Вплоть до раскола Линкольн руководил объединенными силами, и, несмотря на все его слабости и ошибки, движение делало успехи под его руководством при сильном давлении со стороны радикалов.

On utilise parfois cette phrase de façon humoristique, à l'écrit ou à l'oral, pour souhaiter bonne chance à quelqu'un. On dira par exemple: have a good business trip, and may the force be with you, you'll need it ("j'espère que ton voyage d'affaires se passera bien, et que la force soit avec toi, tu en auras besoin"). -
