18 change horses in the midstream

(change horses in the midstream (тж. change, swap или swop horses while crossing a stream))

"менять лошадей на переправе", производить крупные перемены в неподходящий или опасный момент [первонач. амер.; выражение swap horses while crossing a stream популяризировано А. Линкольном; см. цитату]

I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country; but I am reminded in this connection of an old Dutch farmer who remarked... that ‘it was not best to swap horses when crossing a stream.’ (A. Lincoln, ‘Address to a Delegation of the National Union League’, June 9, 1864, HBQ) — я не беру на себя смелость утверждать, джентльмены, что я самый достойный гражданин этой страны. Но в этой связи мне вспоминаются слова одного голландского фермера, который как-то заметил: "...Не лучшее время менять лошадей, когда пересекаешь реку"

Proteus: "...I have had enough of it... I resign." Crassus: "But not at such a moment as this. Don't let us swop horses when crossing a stream." Nicobar: "Why not, if the horse you have got is subject to hysterics." Boanerges: "Not to mention that you may have more than one horse at your disposal." (B. Shaw, ‘The Apple Cart’, act I) — Протей: "...хватит с меня... я подаю в отставку." Красс: "Но не в такой момент. Мы не можем менять лошадей посредине реки." Никобар: "А почему бы и не сменить, если лошадь склонна к истерикам?" Бонерджес: "Не говоря уже о том, что в вашем распоряжении имеется еще несколько лошадей."
