2 weight
IВес. To attach weight to something — придавать значение чему-либо. To pull one's weight — сделать свою часть работы. Это выражение используется в гребном спорте. Каждый член гребной команды должен выкладываться полностью, чтобы довести до максимума общий результат.III'm a bit worried about Natasha. She's been with the firm for nearly a year and she still isn't pulling her weight. — Я немного беспокоюсь о Наташе. Она в фирме почти год, а ещё не работает в полную силу.
To put on weight - прибавлять в весе, полнеть. To throw one's weight about - заносчиво, развязно держаться:He was here the other day, throwing his weight about as if he owned the firm. — Он был здесь на днях и держался так высокомерно, что можно было подумать, это владелец фирмы.
To lift a weight of somebody's mind - снять камень с чьей-либо души (ср. от сердца отлегло, гора с плеч):It was a great weight off my mind. — У меня камень с души свалился.
Тот, кто думает о себе как об очень важной персоне, часто to throw his weight around («разбрасывает свой вес»), т. е. ведёт себя агрессивно и высокомерно по отношению к тем, кого он считает ниже себя рангом. Слово «вес» обозначает важность положения этого человека в обществе, а не вес его тела. Однако to take the weight off one's feet («сбросить вес с чьих-либо ног») — значит «сесть».Come in. Take the weight off your feet! — Заходите! Присаживайтесь!
