You can't bring Sergei back, and you're destroying yourself. Bear in mind that you don't have much time - a year or two, and after that you can forget it" (3a).♦...Есть вещи, которых дамы не простят никому, будь он кто бы то ни было, и тогда прямо пиши пропало! (Гоголь 3)...There are things ladies never forgive anyone, whatever he may be, and then he might just as well be written off as a loss (3e)Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > пиши пропало
