- Если верить уборщицам, то я, конечно, разгуливаю. Если же смотреть правде в глаза, то я не разгуливаю, а тяну лямку. (В. Кочетов, Журбины) — 'If one listens to office cleaners, I am, of course, gallivanting around. If one faces the truth, however, I'm not gallivanting around, I'm just sticking it out.'
Сказали: "Становись, Матвей, председателем. Больше некому". Стал. И как-то втянулся в это дело, и к нему тоже привыкли, так до сих пор и тянет эту лямку. (В. Шукшин, Думы) — Then it was 'You've got to be chairman, Matvei, there's no one else'. So he had become chairman of the farm. And somehow he had got into the way of it and people had got used to him too, so here he was, still slogging away at the job.
