  • 102 в упор

    [PrepP; Invar; adv]
    =====
    1. подойти, подступить к кому, столкнуться в упор и т.п. (to approach, come up to etc s.o.) very closely, so that hardly any distance separates one from s.o., (to run) directly, right (into s.o.):
    - [in limited contexts](be) close up to.
         ♦ [extended usage] Человек взмахнул руками, вцепился в мою шубу, потряс меня, прильнул и стал тихонько выкрикивать: "Голубчик мой... доктор... скорее... умирает она"... Я взял безжизненную руку... Под пальцами задрожало мелко, часто, потом стало срываться, тянуться в нитку. У меня похолодело привычно под ложечкой, как всегда, когда я в упор видел смерть (Булгаков 6). The man waved his arms, clutched my fur coat and shook me as he pressed against me, moaning softly: "Oh, doctor... my dear fellow...quickly...she's dying."...I took the lifeless arm....I could feel a thin, rapid flutter which broke off and picked up again as a mere faint thread. I felt the customary stab of cold in the pit of my stomach as I always do when I see death face to face (6a).
         ♦...Штабс-капитан быстрым жестом схватил порожний стул... и поставил его чуть не посредине комнаты; затем, схватив другой такой же стул для себя, сел напротив Алёши, по-прежнему к нему в упор и так, что колени их почти соприкасались вместе (Достоевский 1)....The captain seized an empty chair...and placed it almost in the middle of the room; then, seizing another chair, just like the first, for himself, he sat facing Alyosha, as close up to him as before, so that their knees almost touched (1a).
    2. стрелять, целиться в кого-что, убить кого в упор и т.п. (to shoot, aim at s.o. or sth., kill s.o. etc) from a very short distance away, having moved right up to him or it:
    - at point-blank (close) range.
         ♦ Высокий белобровый австриец... почти в упор выстрелил в Григория с колена. Огонь свинца опалил щёку. Григорий повёл пикой, натягивая изо всей силы поводья (Шолохов 2). А tall fair-browed Austrian...fired almost point-blank at Grigory from a kneeling position. The heat of the molten lead scorched Grigory's cheek. He aimed his lance and reined in with all his strength (2a).
         ♦ Вдруг слева ослепительно вспыхнуло - Борька подскочил и щёлкнул почти в упор (Трифонов 1). Suddenly there was a blinding flash from the left-it was Borka who had jumped forward and clicked his camera at almost point-blank range (1a).
         ♦ Дол охов, бежавший рядом с Тимохиным, в упор убил одного француза... (Толстой 4). Dolokhov, running beside Timokhin, killed a Frenchman at close range... (4a).
    3. смотреть на кого, рассматривать, разглядывать кого-что в упор и т.п. (to look at, examine etc s.o. or sth.) directly and intently:
    - stare hard (fixedly) at.
         ♦ "А что он сделал?" - спросил Сталин и в упор посмотрел на Берию. "Болтает лишнее, выжил из ума", - сказал Берия (Искандер 3). "What has he done?" Stalin asked. He looked point-blank at Beria. "He blabs too much, he's gotten senile," Beria said (3a).
         ♦ Сталин медленно поднялся, не протянул руки, продолжал в упор смотреть на Будягина (Рыбаков 2). Without extending his hand, Stalin got up slowly and continued to look straight at Budyagin (2a).
         ♦ "Это что ещё такое?" - вскричал [Иван Фёдорович], вглядываясь в упор в лицо пристава, и вдруг, схватив его за плечи, яростно ударил об пол (Достоевский 2). "What is the meaning of this?" Ivan Fyodorovich exclaimed, staring straight into the marshal's face, and suddenly, seizing him by the shoulders, he flung him violently to the floor (2a).
         ♦ "Ухожу в армию, сынок. К матери поедешь". - "Не хочу туда, - нахохлился Влад... - У деда Савелия останусь". Влад сказал и тут же осёкся. Отец смотрел в упор, излучая на него столько горечи и снисходительного презрения, что он не выдержал, сдался... (Максимов 2). "I'mgoing away to join the army, son. You must go back to your mother." "I don't want to," Vlad objected.... "I'll stay with grandfather." As Vlad said this he stopped short. His father stared hard at him, radiating such bitterness and condescending scorn that his resistance faltered and he capitulated (2a).
         ♦ "Трою основали Тевкр, Дардан, Иллюс и Трос", - разом отчеканил мальчик и в один миг весь покраснел, так покраснел, что на него жалко стало смотреть. Но мальчики все на него глядели в упор... (Достоевский 1). "Troy was founded by Teucer, Dardanus, Ilius, and Tros," the boy rapped out at once, and instantly blushed all over, blushed so much that it was pitiful to see. But all the boys stared fixedly at him... (1a).
    4. сказать, спросить в упор (to say, ask) directly and in plain terms:
    - bluntly.
         ♦ "Где брала?" - в упор спросил Николай. "Чего?" - испугалась учительница. "Да танкетки ж", - нетерпеливо сказал Николай (Войнович 5). "Where'd you get them?" Nikolai asked point-blank. "Get what?" said the teacher, quite startled. "The shoes, the shoes," said Nikolai impatiently (5a).
         ♦ "Осмелюсь узнать, служить изволили?" - "Нет, учусь..." - ответил молодой человек, отчасти удивлённый и особенным витиеватым тоном речи, и тем, что так прямо, в упор, обратились к нему (Достоевский 3). "May I venture to inquire, pray: have you been in the service?" "No, I study..." replied the young man, taken aback partly by the peculiar, orotund manner of the other's speech and partly by the fact that he had been so directly and bluntly addressed (3a).

  • 117 रावण _rāvaṇa

    रावण a. [रु-णिच् ल्यु] Crying, screaming, roaring, bewailing; इत्युक्त्वा परुषं वाक्यं रावणः शत्रुरावणः Rām.3.56. 26 (com. शत्रून् रावयति क्रोशयति शत्ररावणः).
    -णः N. of a celebrated demon, king of Laṅkā and the chief of the Rākṣhasas; स रावणो नाम निकामभीषणं बभूव रक्षः क्षतरक्षणं दिवः Śi.1.48. [He was the son of Viśravas by Keśinī or Kaikaśī and so half-brother of Kuber. He is called Paulastya as being a grandson of the sage Pulastya. Laṅkā was originally occupied by Kubera, but Rāvaṇa ousted him from it and made it his own capital. He had ten heads (and hence his names Daśagrīva, Daśa- vadana &c.) and twenty arms, and according to some, four legs (cf. R.12.88 and Malli.). He is represented to have practised the most austere penance for ten thousand years in order to propitiate the god Brahman, and to have offered one head at the end of each one thousand years. Thus he offered nine of his heads and was going to offer the tenth when the God was pleased and granted him immunity from death by either god or man. On the strength of this boon he grew very tyrannical and oppressed all beings. His power became so great that even the gods are said to have acted as his domestic servants. He conquered almost all the kings of the day, but is said to have been imprisoned by Kārtavīrya for some time when he went to attack his territory. On one occasion he tried to uplift the Kailāsa mountain, but Śiva pressed it down so as to crush his fingers under it. He, therefore, hymned Śiva for one thousand years so loudly that the God gave him the name Rāvaṇa and freed him from his painful position. But though he was so power- ful and invincible, the day of retribution drew near. While Rāma - who was Viṣṇu descended on earth for the destruction of this very demon - was passing his years of exile in the forest, Rāvaṇa carried off his wife Sītā and urged her to become his wife but she persistently refused and remained loyal to her husband. At last Rāma assisted by his monkey-troops invaded Laṅkā, annihilated Rāvaṇa's troops and killed the demon himself. He was a worthy opponent of Rāma, and hence the expression:-- रामरावणयोर्युद्धं रामरावणयोरिव ।].
    -णम् 1 The act of screaming.
    -2 N. of a Muhūrta.
    -Comp. -अरिः N. of Rāma.
    -गङ्गा N. of a river in Laṅkā.
