8 join hands
объединяться; действовать сообща, рука об руку‘We're not through with those sharpers,’ he declared to Cowperwood... ‘They'll fight us with suits. They may join hands later.’ (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Titan’, ch. VIII) — - Но мы еще не покончили с этими мошенниками, - заявил он Каупервуду... - Они еще будут бороться с нами и затевать судебные процессы. Позднее они могут и объединиться.
It is not the Communists who conspire to prevent desegregation in Southern schools, who discriminate against Negroes, and who refuse to give the Negro people the full rights which are theirs. Nor is it the Communists who join hands with the Dixiecrats in order to maintain a fictitious unity in the Democratic Party. (G. Green, ‘The Enemy Forgotten’, ch. IX) — Ведь не коммунисты устраивают заговоры, чтобы препятствовать прекращению сегрегации в школах на Юге, не они повинны в дискриминации негров, и не они отказываются предоставить неграм законно принадлежащие им права. Не коммунисты подают руку диксикратам, чтобы сохранить фиктивное единство Демократической партии.
