2 put smth. to the proof
(put smth. to the proof (или to the touch))испытывать что-л., подвергнуть испытанию; проверять что-л.It so happened that Jem, after much anxious thought, had determined that day to "put his fortune to the touch, to win or lose it all". (E. Gaskell, ‘Mary Barton’, ch. 11) — Случилось так, что Джем после долгих и тревожных размышлений решился в этот день испытать свою судьбу.
It was only this cursed undivorced condition of his, and - and the question whether Annette would take him, which he dared not put to the touch until he had a clear and even dazzling future to offer her. (J. Galsworthy, ‘In Chancery’, part I, ch. I) — Вот только его проклятое положение неразведенного мужа и неизвестность, согласится ли Аннет выйти за него, - этого вопроса он не решался касаться до тех пор, пока не будет в состоянии предложить ей вполне определенное и даже блестящее будущее.
A desperate struggle was going on within her. Should she put everything to the proof? Should she challenge directly that influence, that attraction which was drawing him away from her? (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Man of Property’, part II, ch. II) — В душе Джун происходила отчаянная борьба. Рискнуть всем? Бросить вызов тому влиянию, той притягательной силе, которые отнимают у нее Босини?

жестоко, тиранически; властно, повелительно, решительно (обыкн. carry it, matters или things with a high hand) [этим. библ.

XX) — я нахожу, что в последнее время ты что-то слишком уж стала командовать! Ты, кажется, собираешься решать все дела за меня.
Effie made a last desperate attempt to carry off the situation with a high hand. ‘Here,’ she cried, ‘who told you to come in here? What do you want?’ (J. B. Priestley, ‘The Good Companions’, book I, ch. V) — Эффи, сделав последнюю отчаянную попытку спасти положение, высокомерно спросила: - Послушайте, кто вас сюда звал? что вам нужно?
Although he had determined to carry things off with a high hand, he had known quite well that the arrival of Nofret would provoke a storm at least in the women's part of the house. (A. Christie, ‘Death Comes as the End’, ch. 3) — Хотя Имхотеп и был готов действовать решительно, он прекрасно понимал, что приезд Нофрет, новой наложницы, вызовет бурю негодования, по крайней мере со стороны женской половины дома.
