62 a bird of prey
хищная птица, пернатый хищникVery high, one of the great birds of prey lazily circled in the blue. (J. B. Priestley, ‘The Doomsday Men’, ch. X) — Большая хищная птица лениво парила высоко в синем небе.
Over Scroggs and his friends the city of Atlanta loomed like the wilful, jealous bird of prey with mighty shadows of wings. (W. Du Bois, ‘Mansart Builds a School’, ch. XVII) — Над Скроггсом и его друзьями город Атланта нависал как упрямая, злобная, хищная птица, распростершая огромные крылья.

63 count for nothing
не иметь никакого значения, не идти в счётI am surprised to find that all the deportment and good conduct I have been taught seem to count for nothing when I am with you. (J. Galsworthy, ‘On Forsyte 'Change’, ‘Hester's Little Tour’) — Я обнаруживаю с удивлением, что умение держать себя и манеры, которым меня учили, видимо, не имеют никакого значения, когда я нахожусь с вами.
...we must not forget that, unless Russia and America are at the back of Geneva, Geneva will count for nothing in diplomacy. (B. Shaw, ‘Platform and Pulpit’, ‘Britain and the Soviets’) —...нам не следует забывать, что если Россия и Америка не поддержат Женевскую конференцию, то Женева не будет играть никакой роли в дипломатии.
At the turn of the century, when Populism loomed, the political attitude of 7.000.000 Negroes became important and we disfranchised them by law so that they would count for nothing. (W. Du Bois, ‘Mansart Builds a School’, ch. III) — Когда в начале XX века возникла опасность распространения популизма и стало ясно, что политические симпатии семи миллионов негров могут сыграть в этот момент решающую роль, негров законодательным путем лишили избирательных прав, чтобы свести на нет их политическое влияние.

64 loom large
вырисовываться принимать осязаемые формы; принимать угрожающие размерыAs early as 1897, before he loomed large upon the political horizon, Roosevelt, writing to Lodge about a municipal campaign exclaimed: ‘The really ugly feature of the Republican canvass is that it does represent what the populists say, that is, corrupt wealth.’ (Ch. Beard and M. Beard, ‘The Rise of American Civtlization’, ch. XXV) — Теодор Рузвельт писал в 1897 году Лоджу по поводу муниципальных выборов (тогда еще его звезда не взошла на политическом горизонте): "Отвратительно то, что предвыборная кампания республиканцев действительно отражает интересы погрязшего в коррупции класса богачей-популисты в этом правы."

76 Sebastião I, king
(1554-1578)The king of Portugal whose disappearance and death in battle in Morocco in 1578 led to a succession crisis and to Spain's annexation of Portugal in 1580. He is the person after whom the cult and mythology of Sebastianism is named. Sebastião succeeded to the throne of Portugal at the tender age of three, upon the death of his father King João III in 1557. With his great-uncle Cardinal Henrique, he was the only other surviving legitimate male member of the Aviz dynasty. The Spanish menace loomed on Portugal's eastern horizons, as Phillip II of Spain gathered more reasons to make good his own strong claims to the Portuguese throne. A headstrong youth, Sebastião dreamed of glory in battle against the Muslims and was certainly influenced by the example of the feats of Phillip II's half-brother Don Juan of Austria and the naval victory against the Turks at Lepanto in 1571.Sebastião's great project was a victory in Africa, and he ordered a major effort to raise a fleet and army to attack Morocco. His forces landed at Tangier and Arzila and marched to meet the Muslim armies. In early August 1578, at the battle of Alcácer- Quivir, Portugal's army was destroyed by Muslim forces, and the king himself was lost. Although he was undoubtedly killed, his body was never found. The result of this foolhardy enterprise changed the course of Portugal's history and gave rise to the cult and myth that Sebastião survived and would return one foggy morning to make Portugal great once again. -
