10 castles in Spain
воздушные замки, пустые мечты (обыкн. употр. с гл. to build) [этим. фр. châteaux en Espagne]Poor Martin! For ever building castles in the air. For ever, in his very selfishness, forgetful of all but his own teeming hopes and sanguine plans. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Martin Chuzzlewit’, ch. XXI) — Бедный Мартин! Он вечно строил воздушные замки. В своем эгоизме он вечно забывал обо всем, кроме своих радужных надежд и оптимистических планов.
...her mind, as she always said, was on something not so practical - castles in the air really. (Th. Dreiser, ‘A Gallery of Women’, ‘Ernita’) —...ее мысли, как она сама говорила, были заняты не очень практическими вещами - воздушными замками.
