1 бить на эффект
Генеральша была ревнива к своему происхождению. Каково же ей было, прямо и без приготовления, услышать, что этот последний в роде князь Мышкин, о котором она уже что-то слышала, не больше как жалкий идиот и почти что нищий и принимает подаяние на бедность. Генерал именно бил на эффект, чтобы разом заинтересовать, отвлечь всё как-нибудь в другую сторону. (Ф. Достоевский, Идиот) — Madame Epanchin was jealous of the dignity of her family. What must it have been for her to hear without the slightest preparation that this Prince Myshkin, the last of the family, of whom she had heard something already, was no better than a poor idiot, was almost a beggar, and was ready to accept charity! The general reckoned on making an effect, impressing her at once, turning her attention in another direction and avoiding the question of the pearls under cover of this sensation.
