1 alarms and excursions
книжн.шум, суета, суматоха, кутерьма [первонач. театр. ремарка "волнение и шум на сцене"; в ранненовоанглийской драме относилась к бою]The whole first act of Coriolanus is so full of alarms and excursions and hand-to-hand fighting, with hard blows given and taken, that it is tedious to Shakespeare's modern admirers, but it gave keen pleasure to the patrons of the Globe. (W. Raleigh, ‘Shakespeare’, ch. IV) — В первом акте "Кориолана" столько суеты, шума и потасовок, что современные почитатели Шекспира с трудом досиживают до конца акта. Однако посетителям "Глобуса" все это доставляло огромное удовольствие.
George (standing up): " I'll go and get myself a drink. After all these alarums and excursions I really think I deserve it." (W. S. Maugham, ‘East of Suez’, sc. VII) — Джордж (встает): "Пойду пропущу стаканчик. Я вполне это заслужил после всех треволнений."
Amid all the alarms and excursions of the political scene, it is pleasant to be transported to a village, where life proceeds much in the same way as it has done for years. (‘Daily Worker’) — После бурь и волнений политической жизни приятно оказаться в деревне, в которой жизнь течет так же мирно, как много лет назад.
