Жребий брошен. Это означает, что важное решение уже принято и назад пути нет. Здесь die — единственное число слова dice. Это выражение используется в английском языке примерно с 1634 г. Когда Цезарь перешёл Рубикон, он будто бы сказал Jacta alea est — «Жребий брошен» (хотя в действительности он произнёс эту фразу по-гречески). It's too late to change your mind about going to Moscow. I've bought the tickets. The die is cast. — Слишком поздно менять решение о поездке в Москву. Я купил билеты. Дело сделано. -
