2 как с гуся вода
(кому, с кого)разг.1) ( кому) (нипочём, безразлично, никак не действует на кого-либо, не производит никакого впечатления на кого-либо) it's all one (all the same) to him; he is impervious to everything; cf. < it's> like water off a duck's back; he doesn't care two straws about anything; he gets away scot free; it's nothing to him- Другие миллионы крадут, и всё им как с гуся вода, а ворона украдёт копейку - ей за это смерть. (М. Салтыков-Щедрин, Ворон-челобитчик) — 'Others steal millions and get away scot free, but if a crow steals a kopeck, it's death.'
Катя всё чаще спотыкалась, сдержанно вздыхала. А Мишке хоть бы что, как с гуся вода, - шёл бы и шёл с винтовкой за плечами тысячу вёрст. (А. Толстой, Хождение по мукам) — Katya stumbled more and more frequently, and could not always suppress a sigh. But Mishka was impervious to everything - it seemed as if he could have marched on for thousands of miles, his rifle at his back.
2) ( с кого) (легко, быстро, бесследно исчезает, забывается кем-либо) < it's> like water off a duck's back; cares sit lightly upon him (her); it disappears without < leaving> a traceОн позволял себе от времени до времени гульнуть, потешиться денёк-другой, завернув куда-нибудь в сторонку, но хмель и буйство скоро слетали с него, как с гуся вода, и с новой бодростию являлся он к своему делу. (С. Аксаков, Семейная хроника) — From time to time... he would break out, and spend a couple of riotous days in some little town; but he could throw off the effects of his drunkenness as easily as a goose shakes water off her feathers, and after such an interlude would only return with renewed zest to his interrupted labours.
- Что я в ту пору трудов приняла, чтоб его на службу-то втереть! - и всё как с гуся вода! (М. Салтыков-Щедрин, Господа Головлёвы) — 'What trouble I had to get him taken into Civil Service - and it's all like water off a duck's back!'
