  • 11 гром не грянет, мужик не перекрестится

    < пока> гром не грянет, мужик не перекрестится
    посл.
    lit. the muzhik won't cross himself until the lightning strikes; the peasant does not cross himself so long as the thunder does not roar; cf. it is easy to be wise after the event; when a thing is done, advice comes too late

    - Достигнешь там больших чинов, в знать войдёшь - ведь мы не хуже других: отец был дворянин, майор, - всё-таки смиряйся перед господом богом: молись и в счастии и в несчастии, а не по пословице: "Гром не грянет, мужик не перекрестится". (И. Гончаров, Обыкновенная история) — 'Even' if you attain high rank over there, and go up in the world - we're as good as anyone, you know, your father was a nobleman and a major - you must always humble yourself before the Lord God. Pray in equally happiness and in grief, do not be like the peasant in the proverb, who 'does not cross himself so long as the thunder does not roar.''

    Над всей первой страницей крупными буквами было напечатано: Внимание, мины! В ротах долго потешались над самым существом этого предостерегающего возгласа: дивизия была наслышана о том, что редакция подорвалась на мине. Кто-то даже заметил: - Пока гром не грянет, мужик не перекрестится. (М. Алексеев, Дивизионка) — We had printed in huge letters across the entire first page: Beware! Mines! The men in the companies had a good laugh at this warning, for the division had already heard that our newspaper had been blown up by a mine. Some even remarked: 'The muzhik won't cross himself until the lightning strikes.'
