2 one-day fall

noun

STOCK EXCHANGE chute f enregistrée en un jour

The FTSE 100 suffered its biggest one-day fall since early December as funding worries weighed on telecoms, with Vodafone retreating as its revenue figures left investors unimpressed. The index ended down 1.8 percent at 5,131.4, extending losses in late trade as Wall Street sank. Telecoms, banks and oil stocks eroded some 60 index points between them.

USAGE:

(1.) Название праздников, в которые входит слово day, таких, как, New Year's Day, Victory Day, Independence Day, International Women's Day, употребляется без артикля. (2.) Русское сочетание "на днях" соответствует английским the other day, если оно относится к прошлому, или one of these days, если оно относится к будущему, сочетание these days в значении "теперь, на этих днях" относится к будущему. (3.) В косвенной речи при согласовании времен вместо наречий ysterday и tomorrow и наречных сочетаний the day before yesterday и the day after tomorrow употребляются: (on) the previous day/the day before, the next day, two days before, two days later. (4.) Русские раньше, в былые времена соответствуют в английском языке сочетанию in old days: in my school days в мои школьные годы. В предложениях с такими наречными оборотами часто используется в качестве сказуемого конструкция с модальным глаголом would и инфинитивом смыслового глагола, которая имеет значение повторявшегося в прошлом действия: in my school days I would often come and play with them в мои школьные дни я бывало (часто приходил поиграть с ними). (5.) Русскому существительному сутки соответствует английское сочетание day and night, русские однажды - one day, через день/каждые два дня - every other day. (6.) Good day! может быть как приветствием, так и прощанием. В качестве первого оно произносится с повышающей интонацией, а в качестве второго - с понижающейся

Johnny had been confined to the house all day, save when he had been sent for a message; looking right and left down the street before he started; and then darting to the shop to get what was wanted, and back again to the safety of his home as fast as his legs could carry him, for there was war between him and his catholic comrades. (S. O'Casey, ‘I Knock at the Door’, ‘The Red above the Green’) — Джонни целыми днями отсиживался дома и выходил, только когда его посылали за чем-нибудь; и прежде чем пуститься по улице, смотрел направо и налево, а потом со всех ног мчался в лавочку, покупал что нужно и - назад под крылышко матери, ибо между ним и мальчиками-католиками шла война.

Run round as fast as your legs can carry you, and tell Georgie Middleton to come here at once... (S. O'Casey, ‘Pictures in the Hallway’, ‘Death on the Doorstep’) — Беги что есть духу к Джорджи Миддлтону и скажи, что я велю ему сейчас же прийти сюда...

After a fortnight of rehearsals, Michael was thrown out of the part for which he had been engaged, and for three or four weeks was left to kick his heels about till something else could be found for him. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Theatre’, ch. VI) — После двух педель репетиций у Майкла отобрали роль, на которую он был приглашен, и недели три или даже месяц он томился в безделье, ожидая, когда подвернется что-нибудь еще.

Still, if you want the boy to kick his heels for ten minutes, I don't mind. I'm not responsible... (R. Greenwood, ‘Mr. Bunting’, ch. VII) — Но, конечно, если вы хотите, чтобы мальчишка целых десять минут плевал в потолок, пожалуйста. Мне все равно...

14 burn a hole in one's pocket

"жечь карман", долго не держаться ( о деньгах)

Sally and Marie liked to do their shopping together on this gala afternoon after pay on the mines.

Prichard, ‘Golden Miles’, ch. 13) — Салли и Мари в праздничные дни после получки на рудниках любили потолкаться вдвоем по магазинам. Так весело было, смешавшись с толпой, бродить по улицам, глазеть на товары, выставленные в витринах на соблазн женскому сердцу и на погибель кошельку.

Tyrone: "...Where's Edmund?" Mary: "...He went out... He still has some money left, I suppose, burning a hole in his pocket." (E.
