88 pay one's way
1) жить по средствам, не влезать в долгиI've always paid my way and I've never asked a friend for a loan in all my life. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Round Dozen’) — Я всегда жил по средствам и никогда в жизни не просил приятеля одолжить мне деньги.
A job - having enough money to pay your way - seems the most important thing in the world, now. (K. S. Prichard, ‘Golden Miles’, ch. 7) — Сейчас для меня работа, возможность сводить концы с концами, кажется, самое важное на свете.
The workers also had no protection whatever against the hazards of unemployment, accidents, sickness, and old age. When they could not pay their way, they were thrown into debtors' prisons - as late as 1833 there were 75,000 workers in these monstrous jails. (W. Foster, ‘History of the Communist Party of United States’, ch. I) — Рабочие всегда были под угрозой безработицы, несчастных случаев, болезней; старость их не была обеспечена. А когда они делали долги, их отправляли в долговую тюрьму. Еще в 1833 году в этих кошмарных тюрьмах находилось 75 000 рабочих.
2) окупать себяBut it has paid its way... and it has produced an effect on dramatic art and public taste in this country... (B. Shaw, ‘Platform and Pulpit’, ‘The Court Theatre’) — Королевский театр окупал себя... Он оказал большое влияние на драматическое искусство в нашей стране и способствовал улучшению вкуса наших зрителей...

92 act one's age
вести себя соответственно своему возрасту, вести себя разумно; перестать ребячиться [первонач. амер.]Yes, she did like saying whatever came into her head; and for a while Abel encouraged her. Now he took no notice or said: ‘Be your age, old girl.’ (J. Lindsay, ‘The Revolt of the Sons’, ch. IV) — Уинни привыкла говорить что вздумается. Вначале Абелю нравилось это ребячество, потом он перестал обращать на него внимание и даже говорил иногда: "Пора уж и повзрослеть, старушка"
I get bored sometimes when people tell me to act my age. Sometimes I act a lot older than I am - I really do - but people never notice it. (J. Salinger, ‘The Catcher in the Rye’, ch. II) — Тоска берет, когда тебя поучают: веди себя как взрослый. Иногда я веду себя так, будто я куда старше своих лет, но этого-то люди и не замечают.
For Christ's sake act your age. (J. Jones, ‘From Here to Eternity’, ch. X) — Ради бога, перестань изображать из себя младенца.

93 bear one's age well
хорошо выглядеть для своих лет, выглядеть моложе своих летWatching McGarrity syphoning soda into the whisky O'Donnell found satisfaction in the thought that the other man didn't carry his age as well as he himself did. (D. Cusack, ‘Picnic Races’, ch. 22) — О'Доннел смотрел, как Мак-Гаррити наливает в виски содовую из сифона, и на ум ему пришла утешительная мысль, что по сравнению с Мак-Гаррити, который был одних с ним лет, он выглядит не так уж плохо.
Though an old man, he bears his age wonderfully well. — Он старик, но несет бремя лет удивительно легко.

94 no fool like an old fool
посл."старого дурака ничем не исправишь"; ≈ седина в бороду, бес в ребро...fancy marrying again at his age! Well, no fool like an old one. (J. Galsworlhy, ‘On Forsyte 'Change’, ‘The Hondekoeter’) —...подумайте только, снова жениться в его возрасте! Что называется, седина в бороду, бес в ребро.
You're an old woman, Emily, and there's no fool like an old fool. The man's twenty years younger than you, and don't fool yourself as to what he married you for. Money! (A. Christie, ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles’, ch. I) — Вы же старая женщина, Эмили! Видимо, старую дуру ничем не исправишь. Этот человек на двадцать лет моложе вас. И не тешьте себя иллюзиями, почему он женился на вас. Он женился на деньгах!
