15 not ready for prime time
•• * В одной из статей о перспективах установления демократического режима в Ираке встретилась следующая фраза: Perhaps it won’t work. Maybe the Iraqis are not ready for prime time yet. Вспомнились 1970-е годы, Чеви Чейс, покойные Джон Белуши и Гилда Раднер, передача Saturday Night Live на NBC. Если еще сравнительно недавно это выражение можно было считать аллюзией или своего рода цитатой, то сейчас это, на мой взгляд, вошедшее в язык фразеологическое сочетание. Пока его удалось найти включенным только во Free Online Dictionary of Computing:
•• Not ready for prime time: Usable, but only just so; not very robust; for internal use only. Said of a program or device. <...> This term comes from the ensemble name of the original cast of “ Saturday Night Live,” the “Not Ready for Prime Time Players.”
•• Действительно, это выражение часто используется в материалах по компьютерной тематике. Например:
•• Web Services: Not Ready for Prime Time <...> had sound and X-server config problems – again, on the desktop, not ready for prime time.
•• Но оно все чаще встречается и в других контекстах. Вот заголовок статьи о новом подсластителе:
•• Stevia: Not Ready For Prime Time. More Research Needed To Answer Safety Questions About “ Natural” Sweetener.
•• И, наконец, проникновение в политическую лексику, отмеченное выше.
•• Еще пример – заголовок полемической статьи о кандидате на пост губернатора одного из штатов:
•• Candidate Not Ready for Prime Time. И далее в тексте: It has become clear that she is not ready to govern the state.
•• В технических текстах перевести это выражение можно при помощи русского довести до ума ( новое изделие еще нужно довести до ума или просто нуждается в доводке). В заголовке Linux in China: Not Ready for Prime Time подойдет условия еще не созрели. Не созрели хорошо и в политическом контексте, но иногда придется добавить косвенное дополнение. В первом примере: Возможно, иракцы еще не созрели для демократии. В последнем: Кандидат еще не созрел можно добавить для большой политики.

шотл.; юр.He had defended himself from the charge with consummate skill, aided by some of the best legal talent in the United States. The Scottish verdict of "Not Proven" might perhaps have stated the case best. (A.
