3 между молотом и наковальней
книжн.between < the> hammer and < the> anvil; cf. between a rock and a hard spot; between the upper and nether millstones; between the devil and the blue (the deep) seaРазночинец был слишком занят своей личной судьбой, поисками своей роли в драме жизни. Разночинец жил "между молотом и наковальней", молот - самодержавие, наковальня - народ. (М. Горький, О том, как я учился писать) — The raznochinets was too much concerned with his own fate and with finding his own place in the drama of life; he found himself between the hammer of the autocracy and the anvil of the people.
"Попали между молотом и наковальней. Какой-нибудь умник скажет: раньше думать надо было. Будь у нас возможность выбора, уж сообразили бы..." (В. Черняк, Час пробил) — 'And now we're caught between a rock and a hard spot. Some smart ass would say we should have done our thinking sooner. If we'd had a choice, maybe we would have done things differently...'
