her mother was a Sinclair

  • 1 the Mother of Parliaments

    1) родина парламентаризма ( Англия) [выражение создано государственным деятелем Дж. Брайтом (J. Bright, 1811-89): England is the mother of parliaments]

    A fierce controversy was under way over the question of self-government for Ireland, the Ulstermen were swearing they would never be ruled by Catholics, and Sir Edward Carson was organizing an army and threatening civil war. In short, the Mother of Parliaments was hardly setting the best of examples to her children all over the world. (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch. 8) — Это было время ожесточенных споров о самоуправлении Ирландии. Ольстерцы клялись, что они никогда не покорятся католикам, и сэр Эдвард Карсон набирал армию и грозил гражданской войной. Короче говоря, никак нельзя было сказать, что праматерь парламентов подает хороший пример своим детям, рассеянным по всему свету.

    2) ≈ "отец парламентов" ( прозвище английского парламента)

    Never has the Mother of Parliaments seen such a scene of enthusiasm as when Mr. Lloyd George read out the armistice terms yesterday. (‘Daily Mirror’, Suppl) — Никогда английский парламент не был свидетелем такого энтузиазма, как вчера во время зачтения мистером Ллойд Джорджем условий перемирия.
