  • 2 ministering angel

    добрый ангел (особ. о сестре милосердия, сиделке) [этим. библ. Mark I, 13; выражение популяризировано В. Скоттом; см. цитату]

    When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou. (W. Scott, ‘Marmion’, canto VI) — Когда боль и муки искажают лица черты, Мой добрый ангел, со мною ты.

    ‘You have been a sort of ministering angel to me today,’ he said to Gemma, pausing at the door. ‘But I suppose that need not prevent us from quarrelling to our heart's content in future.’ (E. L. Voynich, ‘The Gadfly’, part II, ch. 6) — - Вы сегодня были для меня добрым ангелом, - сказал он Джемме, останавливаясь у дверей. - Но это, конечно, не помешает нам ссориться сколько угодно в будущем.

    Nurses wait outside a London hospital to go on duty. ‘We are not ministering angels but underpaid professional workers who need public support,’ say all Britain's nurses. Yesterday their leaders launched a pay campaign. (‘Daily Worker’) — Медицинские сестры собрались у лондонской больницы перед началом работы. "Мы не добрые ангелы, а низкооплачиваемые работники. Мы нуждаемся в общественной поддержке", - заявляют все медицинские сестры Англии. Вчера их руководители начали кампанию за повышение заработной платы.
