1 put a girdle round the earth
путешествовать вокруг света [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]Puck: "I'll put a girdle round about the earth In forty minutes." (W. Shakespeare, ‘A Midsummer Night's Dream’, act II, sc. 2) — Пак: "Достаточно мне сорока минут, чтобы кругом всю землю облететь."
Poirot sighed. He looked at his little notebook. In it was written: America, Australia, Italy, France, Turkey. He murmured, ‘I'll put a girdle round the earth -’ ‘Pardon?’ said Inspector Wagstaffe. ‘I was observing,’ said Hercule Poirot, ‘That a world tour seems indicated.’ (A. Christie, ‘The Labours of Hercules’, ‘The Apples of Hesperides’) — Пуаро заглянул в свою записную книжку и вздохнул. Там черным по белому было записано: Америка, Австралия, Италия, Франция, Турция. - Путешествие вокруг света, - пробормотал Пуаро. - Простите? - переспросил инспектор Уэгстаф. - я говорю, что мне предстоит кругосветное путешествие, - повторил Пуаро.
