21 поворот на сто восемьдесят градусов
[NP; sing only; usu. this WO]=====⇒ a sudden reversal of s.o.'s attitude, position, opinion etc:- about-face;- flip-flop;- (turn around) 180 degrees.♦ Тут, наконец, до Марлена Михайловича дошло: вот она - главная причина сегодняшнего высокого совещания. Обеспокоены "поворотом на 180 градусов", перепугались, как бы не отплыл от них в недосягаемые дали Остров Крым, как бы не отняли того, что давно уже считалось личной собственностью (Аксёнов 7). In a flash Marlen Mikhailovich realized what the meeting was for. They were upset by the aboutface, concerned that the Island of Crimea would float out of their reach, that they would be robbed of what they had long considered their due (7a).♦ И ежели у какой бабы и было ешё намерение повздыхать о прошлом, а заодно и Анфису Петровну добрым словом помянуть, то после его [Михаила] выкрика поворот на сто восемьдесят градусов (Абрамов 1). If any of the women had had half a mind to sigh for the past and to have a kind word for Anfisa Petrovna, then after his [Mikhail's] attack they turned around one hundred eighty degrees (1a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > поворот на сто восемьдесят градусов

22 шапками закидать
• ШАПКАМИ ЗАКИДАТЬ кого coll[VP; subj: human; usu. fut (1st pers pl закидаем or neg pfv fut, gener. 2nd pers sing не закидаешь); fixed WO]=====⇒ to defeat s.o. quickly and easily (usu. used when brazenly predicting a quick victory over s.o.):♦ "Мы головотяпы! Нет нас в свете народа мудрее и храбрее! Мы даже кособрюхих... шапками закидали!" - хвастали головотяпы (Салтыков-Щедрин 1). "We are the Knockheads! There is no race in the world wiser or braver than we! We even bagged an easy win over the Skewbellies...!" boasted the Knockheads (1a).♦...Они возмечтали, что счастье принадлежит им по праву и что никто не в силах отнять его у них. Победа над Наполеоном ещё более утвердила их в этом мнении, и едва ли не в эту самую эпоху сложилась знаменитая пословица: шапками закидаем! - которая впоследствии долгое время служила девизом глуповских подвигов на поле брани (Салтыков-Щедрин 1) They started dreaming that happiness belonged to them by right and that no one had the power to take it away from them. The victory over Napoleon convinced them of this opinion still more firmly. The famous saying "It's in the bag!"-which afterwards served for a long time as the motto for Foolovian exploits on the field of battle - must have arisen in this period (1a).♦ Тут, наконец, до Марлена Михайловича дошло: вот она - главная причина сегодняшнего высокого совещания. Обеспокоены "поворотом на 180 градусов", перепугались, как бы не отплыл от них в недосягаемые дали Остров Крым, как бы не отняли того, что давно уже считалось личной собственностью. Ага, сказал он себе не без торжества, шапками тут нас не закидаешь (Аксёнов 7). In a flash Marlen Mikhailovich realized what the meeting was for. They were upset by the about face, concerned that the Island of Crimea would float out of their reach, that they would be robbed of what they had long considered their due. Sorry, gentlemen, he said to himself triumphantly, you won't get us that easily! (7a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > шапками закидать

23 айсберг
From the enormous dome-shaped icecap of Greenland the ice forces its way to the coast, where it forms large glaciers. These, in turn, give birth to the mighty icebers that float down the Greenland coasts. The production of glacier ice varies greatly: the fastest-moving glacier, the Upernavik Glacier, has a velocity of over one hundred feet a day in summer, while many others move only a few feet and some do not move at all .The icebergs are carried to the south by the Labrador currents, but only about five per cent reach as far south as Newfoundland, and this voyage require several years. .Русско-английский словарь по этологии (поведению животных) > айсберг
