4 be one step ahead of the sheriff

амер.

погрязнуть в долгах; испытывать денежные затруднения; ≈ сидеть на мели

My curiosities throw a wide net. I have always been fascinated by the charecter who tepresents the opposite of my New England... the man who lives by his wits, "one step ahead of the sheriff"... at the margin of decorous living, delighted to outwit the clods... (Th. Wilder, ‘Theophilus North’, ‘The Nine Ambitions’) — Я с жадностью набрасывался на книги, увлекался героями, которые, как небо от земли, отличались от жителей Новой Англии... Это люди, постоянно сидящие без денег, всеми правдами и неправдами добывающие средства к существованию... живущие на грани нарушения закона и испытывающие огромное удовольствие, когда им удается облапошить какого-нибудь простофилю.

Ever since they took over that business they have been just one step ahead of the sheriff. (HAI) — С тех пор как эта фирма перешла к ним, они никак не могут выбраться из долгов.

✾ Book ✾ Film 'You only live twice' Fleming, Gilbert 'On ne vit que deux fois'

ⓘ To live fast, die young and leave a beautiful corpse À l'origine, cette phrase provient du titre d'un film de 1949 mis en scène par Nicholas Ray intitulé Knock on Any Door ("Les Ruelles du malheur"), dont le personnage principal, un marginal joué par John Derek, voulait "vivre vite, mourir jeune et laisser un beau cadavre". Aujourd'hui cette formule est davantage associée aux personnages de rebelles qu'incarnaient James Dean et d'autres jeunes acteurs des années 50 et 60, et à la vie trépidante qu'ils menaient dans la réalité. Cette formule est généralement utilisée dans sa version tronquée ( live fast and die young) pour faire référence à un style de vie débridé. On dira par exemple I don't like these modern pop stars and their live fast, die young attitude ("je n'aime pas les vedettes de la musique pop d'aujourd'hui qui ne pensent qu'à s'amuser sans jamais penser aux conséquences").
