Не знаю, как отвечать, что-то мямлю, а он опять улыбается и сам подсказывает: "Считаете себя недостойным?" - "Да-да, - хватаюсь я за эту соломинку, - именно недостоин"" (Войнович 4). "Then he asked...: why hadn't I joined the Party yet? Not knowing what to answer, I mumbled something; he smiled again and supplied the answer himself: 'You consider yourself unworthy?' That's right,' I grasped at the straw. 'That's right, unworthy'" (4a).♦ O, как ему все это надоело! А между тем он всё-таки спешил к Свидригайлову; уж не ожидал ли он чего-нибудь от него нового, указаний, выхода? И за соломинку ведь хватаются! (Достоевский 3). Oh, how tired he was of all that! Yet here he was hurrying to see Svidrigailov; might it not be that he was hoping for something new from him, some hint, some way out? Like a man clutching at straws? (3d).—————← From the saying "Утопающий хватается (и) за соломинку" ("A drowning man will grasp <clutch, catch> at a straw").
