I'll say! I should say so! you said it! you bet!«Но по сравнению с общими работами ведь здесь и вправду лучше вам?» - «Ещё бы!» (Гинзбург 2). "But compared to manual labor outside, you really are better off here, aren't you?""Andhow!"(2a).(Букин:) Итак, на свадьбе будет ректор. Ты рада? (Маша:) Ещё бы (Вампилов 3). (В.:) And so the Provost is coming to the wedding. Are you glad? (M.:) I'll say (3b).Городничий:) Как ты думаешь, Анна Андреевна: можно влезть в генералы? (Анна Андреевна:) Ешё бы! конечно, можно (Гоголь 4). (Mayor:) What do you think, Anna Andreyevna? Could I become a general? (A.A.:J I should say so! Indeed you can (4f).(Катя:) Мне не нравится в Москве... У нас лучше, верно? (Алексей:) Еще бы! (Розов 1). (К.:) I don't like it here, in Moscow. Where we live, it's better-true? (A.:) You said it! (1a).Марджи, ну а вы, конечно, знаете, кто такой Макс Огородников?» — «Ешё бы!» (Аксенов 12). "Margie, of course, you know who Mr. Ogorodnikov is?" "You bet!" (12a).«Ты это серьёзно?» - тихо спросил Малькольмов. «Ещё бы не серьезно» (Аксёнов 6). ( context transl) "Do you mean that seriously?" Mal-kolmov asked quietly. "Never been more serious" (6a).2. there is nothing unusual (in what has been stated), nothing different could be expected ( usu. foil. by an explanation as to why): (therefe) nothing surprising about (in) thatno wonder of course (not) (in limited contexts) how could s.o. not (do sth.) ( sth. not (happen) etc)....Никто не молчал, все сразу говорили, гудели, галдели, и общий рокот как волнами бил по комнате. Ну, ещё бы! -российская любовь излить душу (Солженицын 5)....Not one of them (was) silent, all (were) talking at once, babbling and bawling, so that the general din swept across the room in waves. Nothing surprising in that! The Russian loves to pour out his heart (5a).Уходя, он скользнул взглядом по моей офицерской шашке «за храбрость» с анненским красным темляком, одиноко висевшей на пустой летней вешалке, и, как мне показалось, болезненно усмехнулся. Ещё бы: город занят неприятелем, а в квартире на виду у всех вызывающе висит русское офицерское оружие! (Катаев 3). When about to leave, he let his eye rest for a moment on my officer's sword, with its red St Anne sword-knot "for bravery," which hung forlornly on the empty summer hat-stand, and, so it seemed to me, a pained smile crossed his lips. No wonder. The city was occupied by enemy troops, and here, hung up challengingly for all to see, were the arms of a Russian officer! (3a).Впрочем, мы друг друга понять не можем я по крайней мере не имею чести вас понимать». - «Ещё бы! — воскликнул Базаров. - Человек всё в состоянии понять - и как трепещет эфир и что на солнце происходит а как другой человек может иначе сморкаться, чем он сам сморкается, этого он понять не в состоянии» (Тургенев 2). "We cannot understand one another, or, at least, I have not the honour of understanding you." "Of course not!" exclaimed Bazarov. "Man is capable of understanding everything-the vibration of ether and what's going on in the sunbut why another person should blow his nose differently from him-that, he's incapable of understanding" (2c).
