облизываться, смаковать, предвкушать удовольствие; ≈ слюнки текутHe had got his fun in the gamble, in the hilarious excitement of being in the race with the horse he was backing. What did it matter if the bookies went away licking their chops? A goldfields' crowd always meant easy money for them. (K. S. Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 65) — Мужа захватывал азарт скачек, он сильно волновался, ставя на ту или иную лошадь. Разве для него имело какое-нибудь значение, что букмекеры заранее облизывались, предвкушая барыши? Они всегда легко наживались на золотоискателях.
I want to warn you... that while I don't think he's had much chance to fool with this conceited young woman of yours, Miss Lomond, he's certainly licking his chops. (S. Lewis, ‘World So Wide’, ch. 18) — Я хочу предупредить вас... Ландегард предвкушает победу, хотя пока между ним и этой заносчивой молодой особой, мисс Ломонд, еще ничего не было.
