  • 72 go off at score

    (go off (set off или start) at score (тж. go off (at) full score))
    с жаром приняться за что-л., энергично начинать что-л. (особ. разговор на любимую тему)

    Madge no sooner received the catch word, than she vindicated Ratcliffe's sagacity by setting off at score with the song. (W. Scott, ‘The Heart of Mid-Lothian’, ch. XVII) — Как только Мадж услышала знакомую песню, она поступила так, как и предвидел Ратклифф: начала с увлечением петь сама...

    The conversation soon becoming general, lest the black-eyed should go off at score and turn sarcastic, that young lady related to Jemima a summary of everything she knew concerning Mr. Dombey, his prospects, family, pursuits and character. (Ch. Dickens, ‘Dombey and Son’, ch. VI) — Когда завели общий разговор, чтобы черноглазая не оседлала сразу своего конька и не начала язвить, эта молодая леди поведала вкратце Джемайме все, что знала о мистере Домби, его видах на будущее, семействе, занятиях и характере.

    In every year of a boy's school-life he learned to read two or three little books, and he usually had these so well by heart that he could go off at score if you started him on any given page. (EI) — В школе за год мальчик прочитывал две-три книжки. Он знал их наизусть и без запинки пересказывал содержание любой указанной ему страницы.

    asper, ĕra, ĕrum, adj. (aspra = aspera, Enn. ap. App. Mag. p. 299, but Vahl. ad Enn. p. 166 reads spissa instead of aspra:

    aspris = asperis,

    Verg. A. 2, 379;

    aspro = aspero,

    Pall. Insit. 67) [etym. dub.; Doed. foll. by Hinter connects it with aspairô, to struggle, to resist; Corssen, Ausspr. II. p. 593, regards asper (i. e. ab spe) as the proper opposite of prosper (i. e. pro spe); thus asper originally meant hopeless, desperate; v. also id. ib. II. p. 870; cf. the use of res asperae as the opposite of res prosperae]; as affecting the sense of touch, rough, uneven (opp. lēvis or lenis; syn.: scaber, acutus, insuavis, acerbus, amarus, mordax, durus).
