3 крыть нечем
прост.one has nothing to say for oneself; there's nothing to be said; no defences; one is left without a come-back- С ним сцепишься... По рабочему здравому смыслу кажется вполне очевидно, к стенке прижмёшь, а он тебе, как хорёк вонючий... таким книжным словом жиганёт, что сразу мне крыть нечем. (С. Мстиславский, Грач - птица весенняя) — 'They don't let you set your claws into them. Every time your common sense tells you you're right and you get them against the wall, they retaliate like the skunks they are, and spit out such bookish words that you're left without a come-back.'
- Вы только потому и можете сидеть тут и разглагольствовать, что есть мы! - покраснев и как-то слишком громко сказал Борис Петрович. - Нокаут! - радостно грохнул Андрон. - Что, Паша, побили тебя? - подмигнул другу Никита. - Нечем крыть? (Ю. Нагибин, Берендеев лес) — 'You're only able to sit here holding forth because we're around!' Boris Petrovich said too loundly, with blood rushing to his face. 'It's a knock-out!' Andron thundered joyfully. 'Well, Pasha, have you been hit?' Nikita suddenly asked, winking. 'No defences?'
