8 find in one's heart to

(find (it) in one's heart to (be или do smth.))

убедить, заставить себя (сделать что-л.), решиться (на что-л.) (обыкн. употр. в отрицательных предложениях)

At least you seem so well prepared to hear a tale of silliness that I cannot find it in my heart to disappoint you. (R. L. Stevenson, ‘New Arabian Nights’, ‘The Suicide Club’, ‘Story of the Young Man with the Cream Tarts’) — Вам так хочется послушать какую-нибудь нелепую историю, что я не решаюсь разочаровать вас.

But as I went on my way to the city, I felt so lost and lonesome, that I could have found it in my heart to sit down by the dyke and cry and weep like a baby. (R. L. Stevenson, ‘Kidnapped’, ch. XXI) — Но по пути в город я почувствовал себя таким одиноким, что мне захотелось сесть около рва и заплакать как ребенку.

She had no head for cards... and she always made mistakes, but when her husband upbraided her she said: ‘You can't expect everyone to be as clever as you are.’ And because she so obviously meant what she said he could not find it in his heart to be angry with her. (W. S. Maugham, ‘On a Chinese Screen’, ch. XXXII) — Миссис Фэннинг совсем не умела играть в карты... и все время делала ошибки. Когда муж ругал ее за них, она говорила: "Разве могут все люди быть такими умными, как ты!" И она говорила это с такой чистосердечной убежденностью, что он не мог на нее сердиться.

ⓘ Do not pass go, (do not collect £200/$200) Au Monopoly les joueurs tirent parfois une carte qui les envoie sur la case "prison". Sur cette carte sont inscrits les mots do not pass go, do not collect £200 (ou bien do not collect $200 s'il s'agit de la version américaine). Cette phrase, dont la version française est "ne passez pas par la case départ, ne recevez pas 20 000 francs", est utilisée de façon allusive et sur le mode humoristique dans différents contextes: on dira par exemple you do that again and you're going straight to jail, Bill. Do not pass go, do not collect $200 ("refais ça, Bill, et je t'assure que tu iras droit en prison). On peut également utiliser cette expression lorsque quelqu'un essaie de mener un projet à bien mais rencontre des obstacles: the country is trying hard to get back on its feet but because of the civil war it has not even been allowed to pass go, let alone collect £200 ("le pays fait de son mieux pour se rétablir mais la guerre civile n'arrange rien, bien au contraire").

ⓘ Go ahead, make my day C'est la formule prononcée par l'inspecteur Harry Callahan (incarné par Clint Eastwood) dans le film Sudden Impact (1983) lorsqu'il se trouve confronté à un gangster. Il s'agit d'une façon d'encourager le bandit à se servir de son arme afin de pouvoir l'abattre en état de légitime défense: "allez, vas-y, fais-moi plaisir". On utilise cette formule par allusion au film et en réaction à une personne qui vient de proférer des menaces. Ainsi, le président Reagan s'en servit en s'adressant à des travailleurs qui menaçaient de se mettre en grève.

1. DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVE

1) [+ objects/people]

In the past the standard spelling for [ese/esa] and [aquel/aquella] used as pronouns (as when they are used to translate [that one]) was with an accent ([ése/ésa] and [aquél/aquélla]). Nowadays the [Real Academia Española] advises that the accented forms are only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives [este/esta] and [aquel/aquella].

2.

Note that in the past the standard spelling for the masculine and feminine pronouns was with an accent (ése/ésa and aquél/aquélla). Nowadays the Real Academia Española advises that the accented forms are only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives ese/esa and aquel/aquella. Neuter pronouns never carry an accent. (nearer) ese m, esa f, ése m, ésa f, eso (neuter) ; (more remote) aquel(la) m / f, aquél(la) m / f, aquello (neuter)

•..., not that I want to, of course —..., no es que yo quiera, por supuesto

If the that clause is the subject of another verb it is usual to translate that as el que rather than que especially if it starts the sentence:
that he did not know surprised me — (el) que no lo supiera me extrañó, me extrañó (el) que no lo supiera
In these cases the verb which follows will be in the subjunctive:
that he refuses is natural — (el) que rehúse es natural

would
