102 God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb
посл.≈ Бог по силе крест налагает (отсюда temper the wind to the shorn lamb; см. temper the wind to the shorn lamb) [это выражение с французского языка перевёл Л. Стерн в "Сентиментальном путешествии", который, по мнению Бруэра, "did not improve the sense in substituting lamb for sheep; for lambs are never shorn"]‘And what about you, Elliott?’ I asked. ‘Oh, I'm not complaining,’ he answered airily. ‘God tempers the wind to the shorn lamb.’ (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Razor's Edge’, ch. III) — - Как дела, Эллиот? - спросил я. - Не жалуюсь, - сразу же ответил он. - Как говорится, Бог по силе крест налагает.
