7 to chance one's arm
Рисковать. Существует версия, что эта фраза родилась в британской армии. Чин рядовых определяется по количеству полосок на рукаве: одна полоска — lance-corporal (младший капрал); две полоски — corporal (капрал); три полоски — sergeant (сержант). To chance one's arm, по всей видимости, обозначает разжалование, т. е. потерю одной или более полосок. Другое предположение о возникновении этого выражения относится к боксу и означает боксёра, который не боялся рисковать своей собственной безопасностью ради победы.I've always wanted to run in the London Marathon, despite my age, so I've decided to chance my arm next year. — Я всегда хотел участвовать в Лондонском марафоне, несмотря на свой возраст, и я решил рискнуть в следующем году.
