  • 121 take the tide at the flood

    использовать удобный момент, воспользоваться удобным случаем [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]

    Brutus: "...there is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune... " (W. Shakespeare, ‘Julius Caesar’, act IV, sc. 3) — Брут: "...В делах людей прилив есть и отлив. С приливом достигаем мы успеха... " (перевод М. Зенкевича)

    After a few tentative and resultless undertakings in the way of highway robbery... he made one or two modest essays in horse-herding, and it was in the midst of a promising enterprise of this character, and just as he had taken the tide in his affairs at its flood, that he made shipwreck. (‘Nineteenth Century American Short Stories’, A. Bierce, ‘The Famous Gilson Bequest’) — После нескольких неудачных попыток совершить грабеж на большой дороге... мистер Бентли раз или два попробовал поработать пастухом, но, как раз когда его дела уже начали идти в гору, он вдруг потерпел крушение.

    Brutus, the ordinator of the saying, took the tide at the flood, and it led him and his friends on to death. (H. Lawson, ‘The Rising of the Court’, ‘Mateship in Shakespeare's Rome’) — Брут создал выражение "с приливом достигаем мы успеха"; но именно этот успех привел его и его друзей к гибели.

  • 123 break a butterfly on the wheel

(A. Trollope, ‘The Way We Live Now’, ch. 11) — Конечно, это довольно серая книга. Ни хвалить ее, ни ругать особенно нечего - она того не стоит.
