    Матвей. Кто вам сказал, что я безнадёжен? Доктор? Если так, то выходит - незачем меня в Москву тащить, а вы везёте меня в Москву. Значит думаете: а вдруг, мол, выживет? А если есть хоть с ноготь надежды, как можно руки опускать? (А. Афиногенов, Далёкое)Matvey. Who told you I'd lost hope? The doctor? But is it impossible for him to have been mistaken in his diagnosis? If he couldn't have been mistaken there's no point in dragging me to Moscow, and yet that's what you're doing. So you think, who knows, he may get over it. And if there's an iota of hope, how can one give up the fight?

    Наталья кляла казну: словно в насмешку, доставили зерно. А как его молоть? Но женщина не смела опускать руки. Она знала: если отступится, все погибнут. (Н. Задорнов, Амур-батюшка) — Natalya cursed the authorities for sending them grain instead of flour as though to mock them. How on earth were they to grind it? But she dare not give way to despair. She knew that if she lost heart they would die of hunger, her whole family would perish.
