4 axe
Топор. To have an axe to grind — преследовать личные, корыстные цели, иметь в виду свои собственные интересы. Это выражение взято из рассказа Бенджамина Франклина, американского дипломата, учёного, писателя, о том, как однажды молодой человек проявил интерес к точилу Франклина, спросив, как оно работает. Объясняя это, Франклин быстро наточил топор своего гостя. Это было как раз то, чего хотел гость. Впоследствии Франклин нередко ловил себя на том, что встречающиеся с ним люди часто имели корыстные интересы — another axe to grind (точить).Mary had no axe to grind when she persuaded her neighbours to vote for the Labour candidate. — Мэри не преследовала корыстных целей, когда убеждала своих соседей голосовать за лейбористского кандидата.
To give someone the axe или the chop — дать отставку кому-либо, уволить кого-либо.
