5 shorten sail
1) замедлить ход, идти медленнее [этим. мор. убавить парусов или убрать паруса]‘You are a gay old gentleman!’ said Jekyl, relaxing his pace; ‘and if we must be fellow-travellers... I must even shorten sail for you.’ (W. Scott, ‘St. Ronan's Well’, ch. XXX) — - Вы веселый старый джентльмен, - сказал Джекил, стараясь идти помедленнее, - и раз уж нам суждено было стать попутчиками... то я готов даже замедлить ход.
2) умерить пыл; сбавить тонHe feared that this unrest foreshadowed a class war in which investors would run to cover and money be locked in strong-boxes. At once he began to shorten sail, to invest only in the soundest securities, and to convert all his weaker ones into cash. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Titan’, ch. XLVII) — Превыше всего Каупервуд опасался, как бы растущее волнение не вылилось в открытую классовую борьбу, при которой вкладчики обычно разбегаются и люди прячут деньги в кубышки. Он сразу стал свертывать паруса, приобретая только самые верные бумаги, а менее надежные начал исподволь сбывать с рук.
The doctor did not even suggest... any change in his Spartan habits. But... it was evident that he must take in sail to some extent. (Kenk) — Врач даже не предлагал... своему пациенту смягчить спартанский режим. Но... стало ясно, что ему все же следует несколько умерить пыл.
