7 flesh and blood
1. n phr‘It's more than flesh and blood can stand, Frank,’ moaned Beatrice. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Three Fat Women of Antibes’) — - Это выше человеческих сил, Фрэнк, - простонала Беатрис.
2) человек; живые людиClare: "...I'm not wax - I'm flesh and blood." (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Fugitive’, act II) — Клэр: "...Я не восковая кукла. Я живой человек."
The editor's room was like a bulletproof cell in which he was impervious to all outside attacks. Then the picture shifted in her mind and she saw it like an armoured tank rolling remorselessly over flesh and blood. But even a tank was vulnerable. (D. Cusack, ‘Black Lightning’, part IV) — Комната редактора напомнила Темпе пуленепробиваемое убежище, безопасное при любых нападениях извне. Затем картина сменилась. Теперь это была не комната, а танк, давящий все живое. Но даже танк уязвим.
3) конкретное содержание (обыкн. to give flesh and blood to smth., to put flesh and blood on to smth.)2. adj phrIt is now widely acknowledged that the slave trade wrought terrible damage to the African peoples and their economy... The great value of Mr. Davidson's book is that he attempts to put flesh and blood on to this general thesis, to examine the precise impact of this terrible trade on African society. (‘Daily Worker’) — Широко известно, какой огромный вред причинила работорговля африканским народам и экономике африканских стран... Большим достоинством книги мистера Дэвидсона является умение автора облечь это общее положение в плоть и кровь, показать на конкретных примерах, как повлияла эта ужасная торговля на африканское общество.
полнокровный, полный жизни; облечённый в плоть и кровь‘...the purpose of our journey is to destroy a monster with nine heads.’ ‘Really, sir? Something after the style of the Loch Ness Monster?’ ‘Less tangible than that. I did not refer to a flesh and blood animal, Georges.’ ‘I misunderstood you, sir.’ ‘It would be easier if it were one. There is nothing so intangible to pin down, as the source of a rumour.’ (A. Christie, ‘The Labours of Hercules’, ‘The Lernean Hydra’) — -...цель нашей поездки - уничтожение девятиглавого чудовища. - Неужели, сэр? Наподобие того, что живет в озере Лох-Несс? - Наше труднее изловить. Я говорю не о настоящем звере из плоти и крови, Джорджес. - Значит, я неправильно понял вас, сэр. - Дело обстояло бы гораздо проще, будь это лохнесское чудовище. Нам надо найти, кто распространяет слух. А труднее этого нет ничего на свете.
It was a flesh and blood performance. — Это был полнокровный спектакль.
