(catch (или marry) smb. on the rebound)жениться на ком-л. или выйти замуж за кого-л. с горя, от несчастной любви [этим. спорт. on the rebound на отскоке (об ударе по мячу, теннис)]‘Poor little Fleur!’ sighed Holly. Ah! it was strange - this marriage. The young man, Mont, had caught her on the rebound, of course, in the reckless mood of one whose ship has just gone down. (J. Galsworthy, ‘To Let’, part III, ch. X) — - Бедная маленькая Флер! - вздохнула Холли. И в самом деле, разве не странная свадьба? Этому молодому человеку, Майклу Монту, Флер досталась, конечно, рикошетом: она пошла за него с отчаяния, когда корабль ее затонул.
All I'm asking... is that I need a little breathing space, I've seen what happens to girls who marry on the rebound. I've told you that I'm considering your proposal. (J. Wain, ‘Nuncle’, ‘Rafferty’) — Я прошу... только о небольшой отсрочке. Я ведь видела, что бывает с девушками, которые с горя выходят замуж, потому что сердце у них разбито. Я обдумываю твое предложение.

(C. P. Snow, ‘The Affair’, ch. 23) — Прошу извинить меня. Я не должен был забываться до такой степени, разговаривая со старшим членом совета. Я вел себя очень плохо. Но не отказываюсь ни от одного своего слова.
‘I don't think he'll necessarily hit the ceiling, Arthur,’ he said quietly. ‘Chances are very much in favor, though, that he's not going to be overjoyed about it.’ (J. Salinger, ‘Nine Stories’, ‘Pretty Mouth and Green My Eyes’) — - Я думаю, он не обязательно придет в ярость от этого, Артур, - тихо сказал седовласый мужчина. - Но и мало шансов, что будет в большом восторге.
Usually I never say crude things like that to girls. Boy, did she hit the ceiling. (J. Salinger, ‘The Catcher in the Rye’, ch. XVII) — Обычно я при девочках никогда не ругаюсь. Ух и взвилась же она!
2) резко возрасти ( о ценах)And with all the wars - God knows what price cotton will bring. don't they make explosives out of cotton and uniforms. Got enough wars and cotton'll hit the ceiling. (J.
