9 a tale that is told
нечто эфемерное, преходящее, кажущееся из-за удалённости во времени или пространстве призрачным, нереальным, несущественным; ≈ дела давно минувших дней, было и быльём поросло [этим. библ. Psalms XC, IX]Such are the changes which a few years bring about, and so do things pass away, like a tale that is told! (Ch. Dickens, ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’, ch. LXXIII) — Вот как все переменилось за несколько лет. Все проходит, минует, порастает травой забвения.
The quest for excitement, work, appreciation, and pleasure in distant places seemed to be as a tale which was told. (Kenk) — Труд, почести, удовольствия - вся эта мирская суета в дальних странах кажется призрачной, эфемерной.
The path of history is strewn with dead civilization. Today they are all as tale that is told. (Kenk) — Тропа истории усеяна костями древних цивилизаций. Сегодня все они не больше чем пустой звук.
