101 the good old days
Of course it is grand to talk of the good old days when you shared a crust of bread in a garret together, but it is a little disconcerting when you reflect how near to a garret is the room you are sitting in. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. I) — Конечно, очень мило говорить о добром старом времени, когда жили на чердаках и делили пополам корку хлеба; но на самом деле жить в комнате, смахивающей на чердак, не очень-то уютно.

105 the Demon Moon
сущ.; собст.; SK, DTДемон; Демоническая ЛунаHuntress had gone and Demon had not yet begun to show his face, but the sky was powdered with stars, and they threw enough light to see by. — Охотничья Луна ушла. Демоническая еще не показала своего лица, но небо сияло яркими звездами, так что света хватало. (ТБ 4)
“Look, it’s fattened enough so you can see the beginning of the Demon’s face. Does thee see it?” / A blade of nose, a bone of grin. No eye yet, but yes, he saw it. / “It used to terrify me when I was little.” Susan was whispering now, mindful of the house behind the wall. “I’d pull the blind when the Demon was full. I was afraid that if he could see me, he’d reach down and take me up to where he was and eat me.” Her lips were trembling. “Children are silly, aren’t they?” — Посмотри, она уже так пополнела, что начинает проглядывать лицо Демона. Видишь его? / Линия носа, намек ухмылки. Глаза еще нет, но да, он видел Демона. / – Он так пугал меня, когда я была маленькая. – Сюзан говорила шепотом, помня о близости дворца. – В полнолуние я даже закрывала ставни. Я боялась, что Демон увидит меня, спустится и заберет к себе, чтобы съесть. – Ее губы дрожали. – Дети такие глупые, не правда ли? (ТБ 4)
“What is it?” Stanley asked, hurrying down to her. “Near scared ten years off my life, ye did.” / “The moon, Stanley!” she whispered. “Oh, look at the moon, would ye!” / He looked up, and what he saw set his heart thumping, but he tried to speak reasonably and calmly. “Come now, Pettie, it’s dust, that’s all. Be reasonable, dear, ye know how the wind’s blown these last few days, and no rain to knock down what it carries; it’s dust, that’s all.” / Yet it didn’t look like dust. / “I know what I see,” whispered Pettie. / Above them, Demon Moon grinned and winked one eye through what appeared to be a shifting scrim of blood. — В чем дело? – Стенли поспешил к ней. – Ты у меня десять лет жизни отняла, так перепугала. / – Луна, Стенли! – прошептала Красотуля. – Посмотри на луну. / Он посмотрел, и от увиденного гулко забилось сердце, но он постарался изгнать тревогу из голоса. / – Ну что ты, Красотуля, это же пыль, ничего больше. Будь благоразумнее, дорогая, ты же видишь, какой сильный ветер дует в последние дни, а дождей давно уже не было. Это пыль, только и всего. / Однако он сам не верил в свои слова. / – Я знаю, что это не пыль, – прошептала Красотуля. / Высоко в небе Демоническая Луна лыбилась и подмигивала им сквозь колышащееся кровавое марево. (ТБ 4)

107 the pros and cons
доводы "за" и "против"; см. тж. pro and conAt length the lady of the caravan shook off her fit of meditation, summoning the driver to come under the window at which she was seated, held a long conversation with him in a low tone of voice as if she were asking his advice on an important matter, and discussing the pros and cons of some very weighty matter. (Ch. Dickens, ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’, part I, ch. XXVII) — Но вот хозяйка фургона стряхнула с себя задумчивость, подозвала к своему окну возчика и завела длинный разговор вполголоса, видимо, спрашивая его совета и обсуждая со всех сторон какой-то весьма важный вопрос.
He would weight the pros and cons of an issue until his aides were in despair, then make up his mind and never waver again. (F. Knebel and Ch. Bailey, ‘Seven Days in May’, ‘Monday’) — Приводя в отчаяние своих помощников, он долго взвешивал все за и против, но, приняв решение, уже никогда от него не отступал.

(D. Cusack, ‘Caddie. A Sydney Barmaid’) — У ее свекрови не было средств, чтобы вращаться в высшем обществе Сиднея, но она тем не менее хвастливо утверждала, что ее предки были вольными поселенцами Австралии на заре истории страны и что она имеет полное право общаться с "чистокровными мериносами".

Oh well, he's a great man, these days, Paddy Cavan. I had a suspicion he'd get where he wanted to, and not be too particular about the ways and means. (K. S.

If you want to resign and get out then go ahead. You can do it if you withdraw that letter as I've asked. Otherwise, there are ways and means of settling this and I'll use them. (J. Aldridge, ‘The Diplomat’, ch. 44) — Хотите получить отставку - пожалуйста! Все будет по-вашему, если вы напишете заявление, которое я от вас требую.
