(или dry)1) гoтoвый, в гoтoвoм видe; нeизмeнный [пepвoнaч. o лeчeбныx тpaвax в лaвкe aптeкapя]Still he did feel that Miltoun was altogether too much of the "pukka" aristocrat... with his confounded way of seeing things all cut and dried (J. Galsworthy). If linguistic study be confined to a purely literary form of language, and especially to the literary forms of the ancient languages, there is a tendency for the student to get into the habit of considering language as something cut and dried, and fixed once for all in the definite mould (H. C. Wyld). By the end of the evening they had their plans for carrying out the robbery all cut and dried with nothing, they thought left to chance2) тpaфapeтный, шaблoнный, бaнaльный; лишённый яpкocти, opигинaльнocти, cуxoйHe was the usual cut and dry apothecary... and about as emotional as bagpipe (R. L. Stevenson) -

(W. Shakespeare, ‘Hamlet’, act II, sc. 2) — Гамлет: "...пьеса, я помню, не понравилась широкой публике; для большинства это было слишком тонкое блюдо."
...both I and Elizabeth were astonished by its sales... ‘I'm no longer caviar to the general, it seems...’ (C. Isherwood, ‘The World in the Evening’, part II) —...мы с Элизабет были поражены тем, как раскупали ее роман... - Похоже, я начинаю нравиться широкой публике.
One hundred years ago America's narrative masterpiece, ‘Moby-Dick’, was printed by Harper and Brothers in New York City. The book proved caviar to the general, and Melville had to derive his satisfaction from but three or four discerning reviews... (‘New York Times Book Review’) — Сто лет тому назад нью-йоркским издательством "Харпер энд бразерз" был выпущен роман "Моби-Дик" - настоящий литературный шедевр. Книга оказалась слишком тонким блюдом для широкой публики, и Мелвиллу пришлось удовольствоваться всего тремя или четырьмя положительными рецензиями...

Already the news was on the air, it would be in the evening papers... (Gr. Greene, ‘A Gun for Sale’, ch. II) — Эти новости уже переданы в эфир. Они появятся в вечерних газетах...

I) — Он был слишком осторожен и застенчив, чтобы исследовать ту сторону Парижа, которая, как предполагают Форсайты, и является его тайной приманкой...
It ended by my suggesting that they both come down to dinner with me some evening - a suggestion which they welcomed with enthusiasm, but explained that it would have to be done under the rose. Their father was so old-fashioned that he would not allow them to take up with any one so swiftly... (Th. Dreiser, ‘A Book about Myself’, ch. L) — Кончилось тем, что я предложил им обеим поужинать со мной как-нибудь. Они с восторгом приняли это предложение, но заявили, что это придется сделать тайком, так как их отец человек старого закала и не разрешил бы им так быстро заводить знакомства...
