  • 6 калачом не заманишь

    прост.
    you can't get smb. (lure smb.) somewhere for love or money; nothing shall induce (entice, lure, tempt) smb. to come here (there, etc.); nothing would make smb. come here (there, etc.)

    - Увидимся ещё когда-нибудь? - Бог знает! - ответил старик. - Вероятно, никогда! - Да, правда! В Питер вас и калачом не заманишь, а я едва ли ещё попаду когда-нибудь в этот уезд. (А. Чехов, Верочка) — 'I wonder shall we ever meet again.' 'God knows,' answered the old man. 'Probably never.' 'I fear so. Nothing will lure you to Petersburg, and it is not likely that I shall ever return to these parts.'

    - Испугался, небось? - спрашивает дед и пыхтит мне в лицо махорочным дымом. - Больше тебя на медвежью охоту калачом не заманишь, а? (И. Арамилев, На медведя) — 'Scared, weren't you?' my grandfather said. 'Nothing would tempt you to go bear-hunting again, I'm thinking.'

    - Кое-кто только напрасно коптит небо, и ему одна дорога в ваш батальон. Но меня, например, туда калачом не заманишь. Почему? Потому что я за вашу свободу умирать не желаю. Ваша свобода - это обман. (В. Каверин, Два капитана) — 'Someone merely idles his life away to no purpose; and for him there is only one road - into your battalion. But, for instance, you couldn't get me into it for love or money. Why not? Because I don't want to die for your freedom. Your freedom is huckstering.'

    - Разговаривали без интереса. Мы для них что есть, что нету. Нет уж, больше меня к ним калачом не заманишь. (В. Распутин, Деньги для Марии) — 'They weren't interested in anything I said. You and me are nothing to them. I wouldn't go back there, not for a mountain of diamonds!'
