    ‘I could not sleep,’ began the Countess. ‘The house - it oppressed me. I was all, as you say, on wires.’ (A. Christie, ‘The Seven Dials Mystery’, ch. XXII) — - Я так и не могла заснуть, - сказала графиня. - Дом действовал на меня удручающе. У меня были все нервы напряжены.

    Coming home, coming home, coming home!.. she ran out and put clean sheets on her and her "man's" bed. She was on wires, she could not keep still, and all the morning she polished. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Caravan’, ‘The Bright Side’) — Мой муж возвращается, возвращается!.. Миссис Гергарт побежала постелить свежие простыни на кровать. Она не находила себе места, никак не могла успокоиться и целое утро все чистила и мыла.

    жить неизвестно на что; ≈ питаться воздухом

    Indeed, this is the way in which gentlemen who live upon nothing a year, make ends meet. (W. Thackeray, ‘Vanity Fair’, ch. XX) — Так сводят концы с концами джентльмены, которые живут на несуществующие доходы.

    ‘Not another hour! Not - another - hour do you stay in this’ - she could hardly say "house" - ‘Do you stay 'ere without paying my rent. Two weeks overdue! You may have yer 'ead full of fine ideas, you may be able to live on air and big talk, but the rest of us 'ave to pay our way - and pay it with money!’ (J. Wain, ‘Hurry On Down’, ch. II) — - Сию же минуту! Сию же минуту убирайтесь, - она не решилась сказать "из дома", - отсюда, если сейчас же не уплатите за квартиру. Две недели просрочено! У вас голова полна прекрасных идей, ну и питайтесь себе воздухом и разглагольствованиями, а мы, простые смертные, мы должны за все в этой жизни платить - платить наличными!

  • 96 make up one's mind

    1) решиться, принять решение

    Back in 1938 I started to study nuclear physics. Torn between two loves, science and literature, I could not make up my mind which field to choose. (R. E. Lapp, ‘Atoms and People’, ch. I) — я начал изучать ядерную физику еще в 1938 году. Меня в равной степени влекло и к точным наукам, и к литературе, и я долго не мог решить, по какому пути пойти.

    ‘But I oughtn't to conceal from you that I don't feel inclined to accept the Master's kind invitation.’ ‘Don't make up your mind yet.’ ‘I'm very much afraid it is made up,’ said Jago. (C. P. Snow, ‘The Affair’, ch. 24) — - Не стану скрывать от вас, - продолжал Яго, - что мне вовсе не улыбается принимать любезное приглашение ректора. - Подождите с окончательным решением. - Боюсь, что это вопрос уже решенный, - сказал Яго.

    My mind is made up, and that's all there is to it. (E. Caldwell, ‘Jackpot’, ‘The People vs. Abe Lathan, Colored’) — Решение мое твердо, и говорить больше не о чем.

    2) (to smth.) примириться с чем-л., свыкнуться с мыслью о чём-л.

    After Julia had made up her mind to that she was glad. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Theatre’, ch. XXIII) — После того, как Джулия свыклась с мыслью об отъезде, она даже испытывала чувство радости.

    The Maiden: "It is not the ageing that is so rapid. It is the realization of it when it has actually happened. Now that I have made up my mind to the fact that I have left childhood behind me, it comes home to me in leaps and bounds with every word you say." (B. Shaw, ‘Back to Methuselah’, part V) — Дева: "Не так быстро взрослеешь, как осознаешь, что стал взрослым. я уже свыклась с мыслью, что детство позади, но каждое наше слово будит воспоминания об ушедшей поре."
