121 all heart
«Само сердце». To be all heart значит быть необычайно добрым и щедрым. Как ни странно, примерно с 1960-х гг. это выражение приобрело негативное значение и его обычно используют с сарказмом.Do you think she'll take you in, feed you, look after you, and not expect anything in return? She's all heart, that woman! — Ты думаешь, что она возьмёт тебя к себе, будет кормить тебя, ухаживать за тобой и не потребует ничего взамен? Можно подумать, что у неё золотое сердце, у этой женщины!
