(Чернёнок 2). Nina "had no idea" about Sipeniatin and Lusya Priazhkina, called Ovchinnikov "an obnoxious bum," defined Alik Zarvantsev as "neither fish nor fowl..." (2a).♦ "...Если забастовка не кончится, я закрываю завод". - "Не думаю, чтобы ваше предложение было принято". Пьер, обычно порывистый, восторженный, был сух. Дессер почувствовал неприязнь. "Зачем сердиться? Я - капиталист, этим сказано все. Рабочие по-своему правы. А вы?.. Вы ни рыба ни мясо" (Эренбург 4). "If the strike isn't called off, I'll shut down the factory." "I don't think your proposition will be accepted." Usually impulsive and enthusiastic, Pierre was now curt. Desser at once sensed his hostility. "Why get angry?" he said. "I'm a capitalist. That tells you everything. The workers are right in their way. But you, you're neither fish, fowl, nor good red herring..." (4a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > ни рыба ни мясо
