37 поклониться в ножки
• КЛАНЯТЬСЯ/ПОКЛОНИТЬСЯ В НОГИ <В НОЖКИ coll>[VP; subj: human]=====1. to beg for sth. humbly:- X begged Y on bended knee.♦ Такие [ люди] бывают везде и всюду, но у нас они получили право распределять воздух и хлеб. Если не поклониться в ноги уполномоченному в твоей области, подохнешь сразу... (Мандельштам 2). People such as these are found everywhere, but here they have been given the right to dispense the air we breathe and the bread we eat. Unless you are prepared to bow down to the person in charge of your particular field, you'll be a dead duck in no time at all... (2a)♦ Рассказывал среди прочего Сабитжан, посмеиваясь, что те казахи да киргизы, которые в годы коллективизации ушли в Синьцзян, теперь снова возвращаются... Китайцы им такого показали, что бегут они оттуда... побросав все имущество. В ноги кланяются, только пустите назад (Айтматов 2). Among other things, Sabitzhan was telling-and laughing the while-how these Kazakhs and Kirgiz who had left the country in the years of collectivization and gone to Sin'tsyan (Sinkiang) in China, were now coming here...The Chinese had treated them so badly that they had run away, leaving all their possessions behind them. Now they were begging on bended knee to be allowed to come back (2a).2. to thank s.o. humbly and profusely:- X will bow down to (before) Y in gratitude.♦ "Я думаю, что в ножки следовало бы поклониться Аристарху Платоновичу за то, что он из Индии [написал]..." - "Что это у нас все в ножки да в ножки", - вдруг пробурчал Елагин (Булгаков 12).
