    what do you know! "А я, правду сказать... думал, все, концы. А она (старуха): кашу, говорит, хочу, варите, говорит, мне кашу. Проголодалась, значит. Ишь ты!» (Распутин 3). "То tell the truth I...thought it was all over. And up she (the old lady) pipes: Make us a bit of kasha. She's hungry. Would you believe it!" (3a).
    (Гвардеец:) Это даже невероятно... чтобы солдату да вдруг приснился такой волшебный сон... кукла разгуливает по дворцу... Удивительное дело. Ишь ты... Ну, ни дать ни взять - живая девочка (Олеша 7). (G.:) It's incredible that a soldier should have such a magical dream...a doll goes strolling round the palace.. Amazing. How d'you like that! A live girl...nothing less (7a).
    Иван, хоть и решил с женщиной не разговаривать, не удержался и, видя, как вода хлещет в ванну широкой струей из сияющего крана, сказал с иронией: «Ишь ты! Как в „Метрополе"!» (Булгаков 9). Although Ivan had made up his mind not to talk to the woman, when he saw a broad stream of water thundering into the bath from a glittering faucet, he could not help saying sarcastically, "Look at that! Just like in the Metropole!" (9b).
    Мишка, открыв клавикорды, играл на них одним пальцем. Дворник, подбоченившись и радостно улыбаясь, стоял пред большим зеркалом. «Вот ловко-то! А? Дядюшка Игнат!» - говорил мальчик, вдруг начиная хлопать обеими руками по клавишам. «Ишьты!» - отвечал Игнат... (Толстой 6). Mishka had opened the clavichord and was strumming on it with one finger The yard porter, arms akimbo, stood in front of a large mirror smiling with satisfaction. "That's fine! Isn't it? Isn't it, Uncle Ignat?" asked the boy, suddenly beginning to bang on the keyboard with both hands. "Just look at him!" said Ignat.. (6a).
    Она смешалась и покраснела. «Ишь ты, ещё краснеет», - про себя удивился Алтын-ник (Войнович 5). Embarrassed, she blushed. How about that, she still blushes, Altinnik marveled to himself (5a).
    Пантелей Прокофьева деловито оглядел чернявую головку, торчавшую из вороха тряпья, и не без гордости удостоверил: «Наших кровей... эк-гм... Ишь ты!..» (Шолохов 2). Pantelei briskly surveyed the dark little head poking out of the covers and affirmed with some pride, "Yes, that's our blood all right... Humph!.. Well, I'll be..." (2a).
    В долгих застольных беседах Антон удовлетворял детскую любознательность начальника... Разнообразные сведения, получаемые в этих беседах, вызывали у нашего хозяина то радостное изумление: «Ишь ты!», то скептические возгласы: «Скажешь тоже!» (Гинзбург 2). In long conversations around the table, Anton used to try to satisfy the childlike curiosity of the commandant... The varied information acquired in these conversations would elicit from him either a pleasurably astonished "What do you know!" or a skeptical "You don't say!" (2a).

    (В.:) I like that! If you don't want to you needn't! Life would be easy that way, but it can't be done! (2a).
