16 козёл отпущения
библ., ирон.scapegoat; cf. whipping boyЧто греха таить, подмывает самолично увидеть, какой неожиданный фортель выкинет сегодня начальник, кого изберёт козлом отпущения. (В. Попов, Обретёшь в бою) — Everyone wanted to hear what surprise the superintendent would spring this time and to know who his latest scapegoat was.
Был он козлом отпущения среди ребят. Мало кто не дёргал, не стукал его по голове, не щипал, не дразнил. Он всё сносил и только ещё больше замыкался. (В. Аксёнов, Дикой) — He was the one all the boys ragged. Nearly everyone used to push him around, hit him over the head, pinch him or tease him in some way. He used to bear it all, only withdrawing into himself all the more.
