    немного интересоваться (обыкн. употр. в отрицательной форме, но встречается тж. и в вопросительных и условных предложениях и означает совершенно не интересоваться, не беспокоиться, наплевать; ср. ни в грош не ставить) [continental - название обесцененных американских бумажных денег эпохи Войны за независимость]

    Mrs. H: "Do you suppose this Hornblower will care two straws about that, Jack?" (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Skin Game’, act I) — Миссис X: "Неужели ты воображаешь, Джек, что Хорнблоуэр хоть сколько-нибудь с этим посчитается?"

    I don't care a continental for a Continental myself. (O. Henry, ‘Sixes and Sevens’, ‘A Ghost of a Chance’) — Я и гроша ломаного не дам за предка родом из Англии.

    But I don't care a damn - pardon me, I mean - well, that's what I really do mean, I don't care a damn about tiled baths, and gas garbage-incinerators. (S. Lewis, ‘Ann Vickers’, ch. XLIV) — На кой черт... простите меня... впрочем, я именно это и думала: на кой черт мне нужны ванны, выложенные кафелем, и газовые мусоросжигатели?

    ...he's just an outlaw. He doesn't care a hang about anything... (J. Aldridge, ‘The Hunter’, ch. 16) —...сразу признаешь в нём бродягу. Ему на всех и на все наплевать...

    Honest, Shirley, you're the only one I care a hoot for. (J. Lindsay, ‘All on the Never-Never’, ch. 13) — Честное слово, Шерли, кроме вас мне никто не нужен.

    But he meant to do something. Somehow, somewhere, somewhen; he would prove his mettle. Off his own bat too. (R. Greenwood, ‘Mr. Bunting’, ch. XII) — Но он твердо решил, что должен что-то предпринять. Когда-нибудь, как-нибудь он еще покажет себя. И главное, будет действовать на свой страх и риск.

    There were indications that Jimmy Hayes would soon have the opportunity to show his mettle. (O. Henry, ‘Sixes and Sevens’, ‘Jimmy Hayes and Muriel’) — Все говорило о том, что Джимми Хейсу скоро представится возможность показать, на что он годен.
