La peine de mort est l'objet d'une vive polémique aux États-Unis, où elle est autorisée dans 38 États. Dans les années soixante-dix, la constitutionnalité de la peine de mort fut remise en question; la Cour Suprême jugea qu'elle était souvent appliquée de façon arbitraire et plus de 600 détenus virent leur peine commuée. Par conséquent les condamnés à mort furent de plus en plus nombreux à demander à ce que leur cas soit réexaminé, ce qui aboutit au surpeuplement des quartiers réservés aux condamnés à mort. Au cours des dernières années, le nombre d'exécutions capitales a augmenté de façon spectaculaire dans certains États, notamment au Texas. -

10 face the music
1) стоически переносить трудности, неприятности, мужественно встречать критику [первонач. амер.]He could never buttonhole the ordinary voter, and say to him: ‘Look here, you know, there's no earthly hope of any real improvement for another ten years; in the meantime we must face the music, and pay more for everything... so that twenty years hence we may be safe from possible starvation, and self-supporting within the Empire.’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Silver Spoon’, part I, ch. XII) — Не может он пойти к рядовому избирателю и сказать ему: "Послушайте, нечего надеяться на то, что в течение следующих десяти лет условия жизни значительно улучшатся; мы... должны пока потерпеть, за все переплачивать, для того чтобы через двадцать лет Англия могла сама себя прокормить и не жить под угрозой голодной смерти".
Mrs. Dot: "Well, the fact is, Freddie... Poor Nellie Sellenger is desperately in love with you." Freddie: "I don't see why you should want me to go away on that account... Nothing will induce me to desert a post of danger. I'm going to face the music." (W. S. Maugham, ‘Mrs. Dot’, act II) — Миссис Дот: "Нет никакого сомнения, Фредди... что бедняжка Нелли Селленджер безумно влюблена в вас." Фредди: "Не понимаю, почему вы хотите, чтобы я из-за этого ушел. Ничто не заставит меня отступить с опасных позиций. я выдержу испытание не дрогнув."
2) держать ответ за что-л., расплачиваться за свои поступки‘I gather,’ said Michael, with a spurt of cheerfulness, ‘That it was only in the desert both times that Jule heard the story.’ ‘What's in the desert to-day is in the bazaars to-morrow. It's no use, I shall have to face the music.’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘Flowering Wilderness’, ch. X) — - По словам того же Юола, об этом пока говорят только в пустыне, - сказал Майкл, пытаясь приободрить Дезерта. - Сегодня в пустыне, завтра - на базарах. Пропащее дело. Придется испить чашу до дна.
‘You're wrong,’ she said. ‘I'm sure you're wrong. It'd be far better to go back and face the music.’ (A. Christie, ‘So Many Steps to Death’, ch. 21) — - Вы поступаете неправильно, - сказала Хилари. - я уверена, что неправильно. Для вас было бы гораздо лучше вернуться на родину и держать ответ перед законом.
In two months they were engaged. Beryl refused to go home for her holi days, she said she wouldn't leave Frank, so Al was left to face the music alone. (D. Hewett, ‘Bobbin Up’, ch. 6) — через два месяца Фрэк и Берил обручились. Берил отказалась ехать в отпуск домой, чтобы не разлучаться с Фрэком. Элис пришлось одной выдержать бурю.

( кому)разг.smb. will lose his head; smb. will never live through it; smb. would not come out alive; smb. will come to grief"Ах, боже мой, боже мой! Куда теперь деваться? Не сносить мне головы..." (М. Шолохов, Поднятая целина) — 'Oh dear, oh dear! What shall I do now? I'll never live through it.'
Было в характере Травина что-то такое, от чего Угодников постоянно опасался за безопасность поручика. "Не сносить ему головы! - часто раздумывал канонир. - Сгинет нипочём. От характера!" (С. Голубов, Багратион) — There was something in Travin's character that kept Ugodnikov in constant apprehension for the Lieutenant's safety. 'He'll lose his head! He'll go down for nothing at all! His temper will be the death of him!' he often thought to himself.
Он слышал, что это не соловей, а жаворонок. И если жаворонок, то, значит, уже утро. Свиданью конец. Пора расставаться. Иначе ему, Ромео, не сносить головы. (А. Рекемчук, Мальчики) — He could hear that it was not the nightingale but the lark, and since it was the lark that meant morning, an end to their being together, time to part, otherwise he Romeo would not come out alive.
