2 the land of promise
(the land of promise (тж. the promised land))земля обетованная, вожделенный край [the land of promise этим. библ. Hebrews XI, 9]Hornby (with a little smile): "Well, are you enjoying the land of promise as much as you said I should?" Norah: "We've both made our bed and we must lie on it." (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Land of Promise’, act II) — Хорнби ( с улыбкой): "Ну что, вам нравится эта земля обетованная так же, как мне? Ведь мне она, по вашему мнению, должна очень понравиться." Нора: "Мы оба заварили эту кашу, и нам ее вместе расхлебывать."
There is not half enough of this type of propaganda to-day. We have all become so hard and practical that we are ashamed of painting the vision splendid - of showing glimpses of the promised land. (H. Pollitt, ‘Serving My Time’, ch. 2) — В последнее время мы совершенно недостаточно используем такого рода пропаганду. Занятые по горло текущими делами, мы так очерствели, что чуть ли не стыдимся рисовать сияющее будущее, хотя бы бегло показать картину земли обетованной.

положение дел, положение вещей [букв. очертания земли]‘Yes’, he said succinctly. ‘I see the lay of that land, but what do I get out of it?’ (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Titan’, ch. LIV) — - Так, - резко сказал он, - я понимаю, как обстоит дело, а какая выгода будет для меня лично?
‘I've a good idea of the lie of the land,’ Reid resumed in a tone so confidential it thrilled me through and through. (A. J. Cronin, ‘The Qreen Years’, book II, ch. 7) — - Я довольно точно представляю себе положение вещей, - снова заговорил Рид таким задушевным тоном, что я затрепетал от восторга.
...it would not hurt to make acquaintances and get the lay of the land. (W. Du Bois, ‘Mansart Builds a School’, ch. I) —...завести кое-какие знакомства и прощупать почву ему не мешает.
Gorin has come down ahead of time to get the lay of the land. (M. Wilson, ‘Live with Lightning’, book III, ch. I) — Горин приехал пораньше, чтобы разнюхать что к чему.

4 the land of Cockaigne
сказочная страна изобилия и праздности, рай земной ( в средневековых легендах) [этим. фр. pays de cocagne]Human knowledge, human activity, science in the service of the people not of the monopolists and war-makers, are leading to a world, which while it will not correspond to the desires of More, of Bacon, of Morris or of the unknown poets who dreamed of the "Land of Cockayne", will have been enriched by all of them and by the many others... — Знания, созидательная деятельность человека, наука на службе народа, а не монополистов и поджигателей войны, - все это приведет к созданию нового мира. И хотя он не будет в точности соответствовать чаяниям Томаса Мора, Бэкона, Морриса и неизвестных поэтов, мечтавших о рае земном, все же все они и многие другие внесли свою лепту в построение этого мира...

19 the land o' the leal
шотл."страна верных", райская сторона (легендарная страна счастья, верности и добродетели) [выражение создано шотландской поэтессой К. Нэрн (С. Nairne, 1766-1845) в стихотворении ‘The Land o'the Leal’:I'm wearin' awa' John,Like snaw-wreaths in thaw, John;To the land o' the leal]And he was ninety-four; there was small hope now, said Eileen, he is so old. ‘No, no,’ said Sean, though in his heart he feared that Shaw, at last, was to the way to the land o' the leal. (S. O'Casey, ‘Sunset and Evening Star’, ‘Shaw's Corner’) — Бернарду Шоу было девяносто четыре года, Эйлин сказала, что надежды никакой нет, он ведь так стар. - Нет, нет, - сказал Шон, хотя глубине души боялся, что Шоу уже на пути в мир иной.

20 the fat of the land
изобилие [происходит от библ. выражения eat the fat of the land; см. eat the fat of the land]As he groaned ‘Can't look at 'em - poison to me!’, he did not seem to be refusing a little mutton and tart, but a gigantic host of dishes, waving away the very fat of the land. (J. B. Priestley, ‘The Good Companions’, book II, ch. I) — Мистер Джимми Уанн простонал: "И смотреть не могу на еду. Сущий яд для меня"; но все-таки он был не прочь отведать немного баранинки и, пожалуй, торта. Что же касается других яств, а стол буквально ломился, то он от всего этого изобилия отказался.
