8 see how the cat jumps
разг.(see (или watch) how (или which way) the cat jumps (тж. wait for the cat to jump))занимать выжидательную позицию, ждать, как развернутся события; ≈ держать нос по ветру; ждать, откуда ветер подуетWe others never know what you English will do. You always wait to see which way the cat jumps. (J. Galsworthy, ‘The White Monkey’, part II, ch. I) — Мы ведь никогда не знаем, что вы, англичане, будете делать. Вы всегда ждете, откуда подует ветер.
The records of the past tell us of writers who grew famous in a night, but in our more prudent day this is unheard of. The critics want to see which way the cat will jump, and the public has been sold a pup too often to take unnecessary chances. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. XIV) — Опыт прошлого показывает, что были случаи, когда писатели сразу становились знаменитыми, но в наше, более осторожное время это немыслимо. Критики занимают выжидательную позицию, а публика, которую так часто надували, не хочет рисковать без особой надобности.
The old brute's sitting on the fence watching which way the cat will jump. (A. Christie, ‘Death in the Air’, ch. 13) — Старый грубиян действует с оглядкой, выжидая, как обернется дело.
