  • 81 переложить на плечи

    • ПЕРЕКЛАДЫВАТЬ/ПЕРЕЛОЖИТЬ что НА ПЛЕЧИ чьи, кого, кому
    [VP; subj: human or collect]
    =====
    ⇒ to shift (the blame, responsibility etc for sth.) to another person, thereby freeing o.s. from it:
    - X перекладывает Y на Z-овы плечи≈ X shifts Y (on)to Z < (on)to Z's shoulders>;
    - X puts Y on Z.
         ♦ "Каждый платит за свое". - "Нет, за кровь платят все! Поэтому мы - евреи - обязаны нести ношу своей национальной ответственности сами, а не перекладывать-таки её на плечи других" (Максимов 3). "Each man pays his own personal debt " "Not for bloodshed-everybody pays for that. So we Jews must share the burden of our national responsibility and not try to shift it onto other peoples shoulders" (3a)
         ♦ Да, "моя вина", и я не могу оставаться равнодушной, когда её перекладывают на плечи самого близкого мне человека (Ивинская 1). Yes, it was my fault, and I cannot remain indifferent when the blame is put on the man who was dearer to me than anybody else (1a)

  • 82 суда нет

    [VP; impers]
    =====
    1. obs it would be unfair to criticize s.o. for his actions (because, although in other cases such actions might be considered reprehensible, in this case the circumstances justify them): на X-a суда нет ≈ no one can blame X; who could blame X?
    2. coll [usu. Interj]
    ⇒ used to express indignation at s.o. who acts disgracefully or contemptibly and deserves to be severely punished (yet manages to avoid punishment):
    - суда на X-a нет! - hanging's too good for X!
         ♦ "Марью опять муж бьёт! Суда на него нет, на пьяницу!" - кричала Вера. "Marya's husband is beating her again! Hanging's too good for that drunkard!" cried Vera.
