121 out-Herod Herod
"переиродить самого Ирода", перестараться, переусердствовать [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату; по аналогии с этим выражением могут образовываться обороты типа to out-Zola Zola превзойти Золя; to out-Joseph Joseph превзойти Иосифа Прекрасного (скромностью и т. п.)]Hamlet: "...in the very torrent, tempest, and (as I may say) whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness. O! it offends me to the soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated fellow tear a passion to tatters, to very rags... I would have such a fellow whipped for o'erdoing Termagant; it out-herods Herod: pray you avoid it." (W. Shakespeare, ‘Hamlet’, act III, sc. 2) — Гамлет: "...даже в потоке, буре и, скажем, урагане страсти учитесь сдержанности, которая придает всему стройность. Как не возмущаться, когда здоровенный детина в саженном парике рвет перед вами страсть в куски и клочья... я бы отдал высечь такого молодчика за одну мысль переиродить Ирода. Это уже какое-то сверхсатанинство. Избегайте этого." (перевод Б. Пастернака)
I was playing the part of Richard the Third in a country barn, and absolutely "out-Heroding Herod". An agent of one of the great London theatres was present. (W. Irving, ‘Tales of a Traveller’, part II, ‘The Strolling Manager’) — я исполнял роль Ричарда III в спектакле, который шел в деревенском сарае, и лез из кожи вон: среди присутствующих был импресарио большого лондонского театра.
In truth the masquerade licence of the night was nearly unlimited; but the figure in question had out-Heroded Herod... (E. A. Poe, ‘Complete Tales and Poems’, ‘The Masque of the Red Death’) — Говоря по правде, маскарадные вольности в ту ночь были почти неограниченны, и все-таки новый гость переплюнул всех.
