20 set the Thames on fire
шутл.сделать что-л. необычное, из ряда вон выходящее; ≈ достать луну с неба (обыкн. употр. в отрицательных предложениях)With Higgins's physique and temperament Sweet might have set the Thames on fire. (B. Shaw, ‘Pygmalion’, ‘Preface’) — Будь у Суита здоровье и темперамент Хиггинса, он бы сделал в науке не одно выдающееся открытие.
His second novel was successful, but not so successful as to arouse the umbrageous susceptibilities of his competitors. In fact it confirmed them in their suspicions that he would never set the Thames on fire. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. I) — Второй роман Роя имел успех. Но успех был не такой большой и не задел за живое его конкурентов. Этот роман даже укрепил их мнение о Рое, что он звезд с неба не хватает.
‘We all go,’ said his uncle. ‘We make one big party. We all go to London to set the Thames on fire.’ (D. du Maurier, ‘The Breaking Point’, ‘Ganymede’) — - Мы все поедем, - сказал дядя Ганимеда. - Составим большую компанию и отправимся в Лондон. Кутнем так, что чертям тошно станет.
‘I'll authorize the experiment,’ Nick said... ‘My God, Nick, what are you doing? Harrison's experiment will never set the world on fire.’ (M. Wilson, ‘Meeting at a Far Meridian’, ch. I) — - Я разрешаю эксперимент, - сказал Ник... - Что вы делаете, Ник? Этот эксперимент уж никак не потрясет мир.
