    ЗЕЛЕН ВИНОГРАД (sent (with copula) usu. pres) said when s.o. criticizes, badmouths sth. unjustly, simply because he himself does not possess it or cannot get it
    thatis just sour grapes
    the grapes are sour.
    Я был стыдлив от природы, но стыдливость моя ещё увеличивалась убеждением в моей уродливости... Я был слишком самолюбив, чтобы привыкнуть к своему положению, утешался, как лисица, уверяя себя, что виноград ещё зелен, то есть старался презирать все удовольствия, доставляемые приятной наружностью, которыми на моих глазах пользовался Володя и которым я от души завидовал... (Толстой 2). I was bashful by nature, but my bashfulness was increased by the conviction that I was ugly.... I was too vain to reconcile myself to my situation and comforted myself, like the fox, by reassuring myself that the grapes were still sour, that is, I tried to despise all the pleasures that were obtainable through a pleasant appearance, that Volodya enjoyed before my eyes and that I envied with all my heart (2b).
    From Ivan Krylov's fable "The Fox and the Grapes" («Лисица и Виноград»), 1808. English source: Aesop's fable.

    some seemingly difficult problem turned out to have a simple solution, some seemingly inexplicable phenomenon turned out to have a simple explanation etc

Was it not odd that those who had received these allegedly smuggled rubles were on trial, while the persons who had brought them across the frontier had not even been called as witnesses? The reason was all too obvious, if any of these foreigners had been questioned, he would immediately have been able to prove that he had obtained the rubles from the State Bank, and the whole wicked farce would have burst like a soap bubble (1a).

  • 9 дела давно минувших дней

    дела давно минувших дней <, преданья старины глубокой>
    (А. Пушкин)
    The lore of ages long gone by, / In hoar antiquity compounded (trans. by W. Arndt); cf. a tale of the times of old! / The deeds of days of other years! (Ossian (J. Macpherson)); a matter of days long past

    Теперь всё это уже "дела минувших дней" и "преданья старины" хотя и не глубокой, но предания эти нет нужды торопиться забывать, несмотря на баснословный склад легенды и эпический характер её главного героя. (Н. Лесков, Левша) — All this is now 'a matter of days long past,' a 'legend of the days of old'; but the days are not so very old, and we should not be in a hurry to forget the legend, despite the air of fable it has about it and the epic character of the hero.
