4 improve the occasion
воспользоваться случаем, использовать удобный случай, улучить момент (тж. improve each (или the) shining hour) [выражение improve each shining hour создано поэтом И. Уоттсом (I. Watts, 1674-1748):Improve each shining hour,From every opening flower. (‘Divine Songs for Children’, ‘Against Idleness and Mischief’, 1720)]It was in my mind to improve the occasion, but I remembered in time that she has no mother, and is our guest, so I only said: ‘You know, dear Hatty, Timothy does not like his books touched.’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘On Forsyte 'Change’ ‘Timothy's Narrow Squeak’) — я подумала было о том, чтобы отчитать Хэтти, но вовремя вспомнила, что у нее нет матери и что она наша гостья, и сказала только: - Знаете ли, Хэтти, Тимоти не любит, когда трогают его книги.
He... made himself charming with her father and mother and improved the shining hours by tapping Theron Wynne for information on the Wynne Company coal and timber resources. (J. O'Hara, ‘The Lockwood Concern’, book I) — Джордж Локвуд... старался очаровать родителей Агнессы и между прочим не упустил возможности вытянуть у Терона Уинна сведения о запасах угля и леса, которыми располагала компания Уинна.
She was something of a grand dame and, what made it worse, spoke like one. Apparently she had improved the occasion, soon after she got to the party, by announcing to Irene: ‘I think it's so sensible of people to think out how to entertain, and strike out for themselves. If they can't give dinner-parties, why shouldn't they give bits and pieces afterwards?’ (C. P. Snow, ‘The Affair’, ch. V) — Миссис Скеффингтон почитала себя гранд-дамой и, что еще хуже, разговаривала на манер гранд-дамы. Войдя в гостиную, она очень скоро нашла случай блеснуть, заявив Айрин: - я полагаю большим достоинством умение оригинально принять гостей. Если вы не в состоянии устраивать обеды, почему бы, право, не подать после приема кой-какую закуску?
