1 steer a middle course
(steer (или tread) a middle (safe, etc.) course)проводить средний курс; держаться безопасного курсаIt took the three a whole day's disputation, before they agreed to steer a middle course. (R. L. Stevenson, ‘The Master of Ballantrae’, ch. I) — Они втроем проспорили целый день, но в конце концов договорились избегать крайностей.
...yet was he nervous, fidgety, strangely distrustful of his powers to steer just the right course. (J. Galsworthy, ‘In Chancery’, part I, ch. X) —...он нервничал, беспокоился, его одолевали сомнения, сумеет ли он найти нужный тон.
He had set out to get all the information, which would enable him to see clearly and steer his own course, so that he could serve what Wally Nelson had described as "those ideals of the Labour Movement". (K. S. Prichard, ‘Golden Miles’, ch. 5) — Том поставил себе целью разобраться во всем, чтобы найти правильный путь и отдать свои силы служению тому, что Уолли Нелсон называл "высокими идеалами рабочего движения"
