9 not to put too fine a point on it

разг.

( not to put too fine a point on (или upon) it)

говоря напрямик, откровенно говоря, попросту говоря, если называть вещи своими именами

All to-day there have been persistent rumours that all was not well with your firm; in fact, not to put too fine a point on it, it is said that an iminediate crash is inevitable. (F. W. Crofts, ‘Mystery in the Channel’, ch. IV) — Сегодня весь день поговаривают о том, что с вашей фирмой не все благополучно. Скажу прямо: утверждают, что крах фирмы неизбежен.

‘This incident has somewhat, shall I say, disarranged your career.’ ‘What do you think?’ Howard replied. ‘Not to put too fine a point upon it it's meant that you have to say goodbye to being a research scientist, and start again. Or is that putting it too high?’ ‘That's about the size of it.’ (C. P. Show, ‘The Affair’, ch. 28) — - Этот инцидент в какой-то степени, я бы сказал, подпортил вашу карьеру? - А вы как думаете? - ответил Говард. - То есть, грубо говоря, вам пришлось распрощаться с карьерой ученого-исследователя и начинать все сначала? Или тут я хватил через край? - Нет, так оно и есть.

Large English-Russian phrasebook > not to put too fine a point on it
10 not have a Chinaman's chance

амер.; жарг.

( not have (got) a Chinaman's chance)

не иметь никаких шансов [оборот связан с трудными условиями жизни китайцев в условиях сегрегации]

If you are ready and able to give up everything else, and will study the market and every stock listed there... and will glue your nose to the ticker tape at the opening of every day of the year and never take it off till night... you have a Chinaman's chance. (‘New York Mirror’) — Если вы откажетесь от всего в жизни и будете только изучать положение дел на фондовой бирже... если будете ежедневно с утра до вечера, не поднимая головы следить за телеграфным аппаратом, печатающим на ленте последние биржевые новости... у вас все равно будет очень мало шансов разбогатеть.

Large English-Russian phrasebook > not have a Chinaman's chance
11 praise a fair day at night

var: praise not the day before the night

syn: between the cup and the lip a morsel may slip

don't count your chickens before they are hatched
не хвали день до вечора не хвали день перед заходом сонця ≅ хвали день увечері, а життя перед смертю

English-Ukrainian dictionary of proverbs > praise a fair day at night
12 sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof

( sufficient unto (или for) the day is the evil thereof)

довлеет дневи злоба его, довольно для каждого дня своей заботы [этим. библ. Matthew VI, 34]

You must not be ungrateful, John, and plague me with any of the ceremonial for your fête - "sufficient for the day is the evil thereof". (W. Scott, ‘St. Ronan's Well’, ch. XI) — Нельзя же быть таким неблагодарным, Джон, и навязывать мне участие в подготовке этого празднества. У меня и без того забот достаточно.

Large English-Russian phrasebook > sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof
13 bear the light of day

быть безукоризненным

Did you engage, in any transaction for your own pecuniary advantage which will not bear the light of day? (A. Christie, ‘Selected Stories’, ‘The Witness for the Prosecution’) — Заключали ли вы какие-нибудь выгодные финансовые сделки, которые не назовешь безукоризненно честными?

Large English-Russian phrasebook > bear the light of day
14 the burden and heat of the day

бремя ежедневных забот [этим. библ. Matthew XX, 12]

We do not wish to tax your energies too much. We will bear some of the burden and heat of the day ourselves. (M. Twain, ‘The Innocents Abroad’, ch. XIII) — Мы не хотим слишком вас утруждать. Мы готовы разделить с вами бремя дневных забот.

Large English-Russian phrasebook > the burden and heat of the day
