62 be thumbs up
(be (или turn) thumbs up (on smb. или smth.))But where justice ends, mercy may begin. Should the man really die, only the Home Secretary decided... Sometimes the thumb is up, sometimes down. Not in public... as in a roman gladiatorial arena. In Senate and in silence. (‘Tribune’) — Но там, где кончается закон, может вступить в свои права милосердие. Должен ли этот человек умереть? Вопрос решает только министр внутренних дел... Иногда большой палец поднят вверх, а иногда опущен вниз. Так в древнем Риме решали судьбу побежденного гладиатора. Но тогда это делалось в открытую... а сейчас - тихо и тайно.
