12 take pot-luck

1) (обыкн. with smb.) разделить трапезу с кем-л. (ср. чем бог послал, чем богаты, тем и рады) [pot-luck угощение для нежданного гостя]

I wonder if you couldn't come out to the house tomorrow night for supper - just take pot-luck with us? (S. Lewis, ‘Elmer Gantry’, ch. XVIII) — Скажите, не зашли бы вы завтра вечером ко мне поужинать, закусить по-домашнему?

Mary: "...Wouldn't you and Mrs. Douglas and your daughter like to take pot-luck with us tonight, about seven-fifteen?" (J. O'Hara, ‘The Searching Sun’, act I, sc. I) — Мэри: "...Не зайдете ли вы, миссис Дуглас, и ваша дочь к нам в четверть восьмого, чтобы разделить с нами нашу скромную трапезу?"

So the Dersinghams had talked it over and decided that he must be asked to dinner, properly asked to dinner and not merely invited to take pot-luck some Sunday. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. III) — Поэтому супруги Дерсингем, обсудив вопрос со всех сторон, решили, что Голспи следует пригласить к обеду, не просто позвать как-нибудь в воскресенье и угостить чем бог послал, а устроить настоящий парадный обед.

2) взять то, что подвернётся, что посчастливится достать

If you don't book your accommodation in advance, you may find that all the best places are full, and you'll have to take pot luck. (ECI) — Если вы заранее не закажете номера в гостинице, все лучшие номера могут разобрать и придется мириться с тем, что достанется.

Dunois: "...I tell you that your little hour of miracles is over, and that from this time on he who plays the war game best will win - if the luck is on his side." Joan: "Ah! if, if, if, if! If ifs and ans were pots and pans there'd be no need of tinkers." (B.
