    - Забыть! - проворчал он; - я-то не забыл ничего... Ну, да бог с вами!.. Не так я думал с вами встретиться... (М. Лермонтов, Герой нашего времени) — 'Forgotten!' he muttered. 'No, I've forgotten nothing. Oh well, never mind... Only I did not expect our meeting would be like this.'

    Марина. Погубил ты меня ни за что, обманул. Не пожалел сироту,... отрёкся от меня. Убил ты меня, да я на тебя зла не держу. Бог с тобой. Лучше найдёшь - позабудешь, хуже найдёшь - вспомянешь. (Л. Толстой, Власть тьмы) — Marina: You ruined me, you deceived me. You have no pity on an orphan girl,... you have forsworn me. You have killed me, but I will not bear you any malice. God forgive you. If you find a better wife, you will forget me; if you find a worse one, then you will remember me.

    2) (выражение уступки, утраты интереса к кому-либо или чему-либо) to hell with him (her, it, etc.)!; bother it!

Гончаров, Обломов) — 'You mean to be the death of me?' Oblomov asked again. 'You are tired of me, eh? Speak!' 'Mercy on us, live as long as you like! No one wishes you ill,' Zahar grumbled.

    - Бог с тобой, что ты, Борюшка! Долго ли этак до сумы дойти! Рисовать, писать, имение продать!.. (И. Гончаров, Обрыв) — 'God bless you, Borushka, what next? Are you so near beggary? You talk of drawing, writing, alienating your land!'

    Дарья. Ишь ты, как расползлась, бог с тобой. Карповна. А что, девка, ведь и то никак я потолстела. (Н. Островский, Бедная невеста) — Darya: My, you're getting stout, Lord help you! Karpovna: Well, girlie, it does seem as if I were getting fat.

    - Да что вы, господь с вами, Ефим Емельяныч! С чего вы взяли? Ничего-то я такого не думаю... (П. Нилин, Впервые замужем) — 'Why, bless you, Efim Emelyanovich, how can you! Why did you say that? I was thinking nothing of the sort!'

    4) (пожелание успеха, удачи, благополучия, доброго пути и т. п.) God (Christ, the Lord) be with you!; Lord help you; God be your help; good luck to you

    - Поезжай, голубчик, поезжай, Христос с тобой, - говорил Кутузов, не спуская глаз с поля сражения, генералу, стоявшему подле него. (Л. Толстой, Война и мир) — 'Go, my dear fellow, go... and Christ be with you!' Kutuzov was saying to a general who stood beside him, not taking his eye from the battlefield.
