19 пускать слезу
разг., иногда шутл.shed a tear; cf. turn on the waterworksКовалло оставил дом последним. Он даже не обнял дочери, - как-то неудобно было при Ядвиге и Птахе. "Не вовремя, скажут, старый чёрт расчувствовался. Ещё, глядишь, и слезу пустит". (Н. Островский, Рождённые бурей) — Kovallo was the last to leave the house. He did not even embrace his daughter - somehow or other it was embarrassing in the presence of Jadwiga and Ptakha. 'They'll say the old devil would turn sentimental at the wrong time,' Kovallo thought to himself. 'Any more, and they'll expect me to shed a tear.'
Солнце так слепило глаза, что у Локтева наворачивались слёзы, но он не смахивал их, а, не мигая, таращился на Ивана Семёновича. "Не дай бог, подумает, что я слезу пускаю". (В. Мурзаков, Мы уже ходим, мама...) — The sun was so blinding that Loktiev's eyes began to water, but he went on looking at Ivan Semyonovich, without brushing the tears or blinking. 'Let's hope he doesn't think I'm turning on the waterworks.'
