  • 3 soap

    Мыло. Это слово встречается в нескольких английских выражениях. Русские, благодаря телесериалу «Богатые тоже плачут» и другим, хорошо знают, что soap или soap opera означает «мыльная опера». A soap box orator/ speaker — уличный оратор, стоящий на деревянном ящике, в котором когда-то находились куски мыла. Soft soap — лесть, комплименты. To soft soap someone — льстить кому-либо. Выражение русских болельщиков «Судью на мыло!», адресованное арбитру, переводится как 'Come off it, ref!'. Русское выражение «влезть без мыла» не имеет аналога со словом soap. Можно сказать просто to be very pushy, to stop at nothing to get one's way, т. е. не останавливаться ни перед чем, чтобы добиться своего, быть очень напористым.

  • 4 soft soap

    Жидкое мыло. To soft soap someone значит льстить кому-либо. С середины XIX в. туалетное мыло хорошего качества выпускалось в виде густой ароматной жидкости, поэтому те, кто имел возможность мыться таким мылом, как бы ублажали себя его мягкостью в отличие от тех, кто вынужден был мыться обыкновенным твёрдым мылом.

    It's not good trying to soft soap me. I am not taking you to Paris and that's final. — Бесполезно льстить мне. Я не собираюсь брать тебя с собой в Париж, и это окончательное решение.
