(А. Бек, Жизнь Бережкова) — Apparently, throughout those six months since the D-24 was given up as a hopeless case, the spring of creative endeavour, wound up tight within me, had been doing its work.
Графоман буркнул уходя, что уж лучше на всей этой писанине вообще поставить крест. (Л. Жуховицкий, Остановиться, оглянуться...) — The would-be journalist growled on his way out that he might just as well call it a day, as far as the scribbling lark was concerned.
2) (на ком, на кого) (разувериться в ком-либо, потерять надежду исправить кого-либо) consider smb. a hopeless case; cross (write) smb. off; wash smb. outКогда мы были в Батурине, брат Николай говорил: - Жаль мне тебя от души! Рано ты поставил крест на себе! (И. Бунин, Лика) — When we were at Baturin, my brother Nikolai used to say: 'I'm dreadfully sorry for you. You've written yourself oft much too early.'
- Самое лёгкое - объявить человека неисправимым и поставить на нём крест. А ведь даже и преступника иной раз можно направить на верный путь нашей убеждённостью. (В. Беляев, Старая крепость) — 'It's the easiest thing in the world to say a man's a hopeless case and leave it at that. But sometimes, you know, even a criminal can be reformed and put on the right path by the strength of our convictions.'
- Посмотрите-ка на него, - с лёгким смешком сказала Вересова. - Какое мужество! Он даже на себе крест поставил, только бы я убралась с его дороги. (Ю. Герман, Дорогой мой человек) — 'Just listen to him!' she said with a light laugh. 'What courage! He has even crossed himself off, only so I should get out of his way.'
Но ведь всё ж она душевный человек,... просто крест на ней не поставишь... (В. Тендряков, Не ко двору) — But all the same she's kind and good. You can't just wash her out like that...
