≈ хоть родной, да недобрый [изменённое шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]King: "...But now, my cousin Hamlet, and my son, -" Hamlet (aside): "A little more than kin and less than kind." (W.

These rooks were usually accompanied by two or three... crows - a bird of so ill-repute... the rooks must think... that this frequent visitor and attendant of theirs is more kin than kind. (W. H. Hudson, ‘Birds in a Village’, Kenk) — Этих грачей обычно сопровождали две-три вороны... это птица с очень плохой репутацией... грачи, должно быть, думают... что вороны, их частые гости и попутчики, хоть и близкая родня, но не добрая.
