49 THAT
(1) (demonstrative): tana (an adjectival word, VT49:11; in one version of the language also tanya, as in tanya wendë "that maiden", MC:215-16). Also yana with meaning “the former” (e.g. *loa yana “that year” referring to a former year). Adj. OF THAT SORT taitë; IN THAT WAY tanen; THAT MATTER tama. Also see THIS regarding the word talumë “at this [or, that] time”. –TA, YA, VT49:11, 18 (2) (pronoun) ta, also translated “it”. (Notice that in some versions of the language, Tolkien wanted ta to be a plural pronoun “they, them” used of non-living things. See the various entries on ta in the Quenya-English wordlist.) Sa, normally translated “it”, is also defined as “that” in one source. IT IS THAT náto, IT IS NOT THAT uito. –VT49:11, TA, VT49:18, 28 (3) (relative pronoun "who, which, that"). According to VT47:21, the relative pronoun is ye with reference to a person (*i Elda ye tirnen "the Elf who/that I watched"), plural i (e.g. *Eldar i... "Elves that..."). The impersonal relative pronoun ("that = which") is ya (e.g. *i parma ya hirnen "the book that/which I found"), pl. presumably *yar (*i parmar yar... "the books that..."). This gives a system with great symmetry, but Tolkien also used i in a singular sense, in the sentence i Eru i or ilyë mahalmar ëa "the One who is [or, that is] above all thrones", though i is indeed plural in i carir quettar ómainen "those who [or, those that] form words with voices". A relative pronoun ya *"which" is found in the "Arctic" sentence; a long variant yá also occurs in the corpus (VT43:27-28). Case-forms: The plural locative of ya is attested as yassen "in which" in Nam (sg. *yassë), the genitive and ablative forms of ye are attested as yëo and yello respectively in VT47:21, and the same source gives ion and illon as the corresponding plural forms. –VT47:21, WJ:391, UT:305, 317, Arct(4) (conjunction, as in "I know that you are here") i, cf. the sentence savin Elessar ar i nánë aran Ondórëo “I believe Elessar really existed and that he was a king of Gondor” (VT49:27). In one version of early “Qenya”, this conjunction appeared as ne instead (PE14:54). -

51 not to let one's left hand know what one's right hand does
не ведать что творить; пусть левая рука не ведает, что творит правая [первонач. творить добро тайно, не рассчитывая на благодарность, похвалу; этим. библ. Matthew VI, 3]‘Allow me to introduce: Herr Schmidt - Mr Bradshow. Herr Schmidt is my secretary and my right hand. Only in this case,’ Mr Norris tittered nervously, ‘I can assure you that the right hand knows perfectly well what the left hand doeth’. (C. Isherwood, ‘Mr Norris Changes Trains’, ch. II) — - Позвольте мне познакомить вас: герр Шмидт - мистер Брэдшоу. Герр Шмидт - мой секретарь и правая рука. Только уверяю вас, - мистер Норрис нервно хихикнул, - эта правая рука отлично знает, что творит левая.
‘She's the type who's been in many a tight fix before,’ Ethel West said. ‘There's a woman who doesn't let her left hand know what her right hand does.’ (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Clue of the Forgotten Murder’, ch. VI) — - Эта женщина побывала во многих переделках, - сказала Этель Уэст. - Она не отдает себе отчета в том, что делает.

He's got to learn to take it on the chin no matter how it's dished out. Save him from this and He's going to get it fair in the neck later on. (A. Marshall, ‘I Can Jump Puddles’, ch. XV) — Мы должны закалять мальчика, Мэри. Пусть стойко переносит удары, как бы это ни было больно. А если ограждать его от них, то кончится тем, что в жизни его будут бить еще больнее.
‘I'm not the crying kind,’ she said. ‘I've taken it on the chin all my life.’ (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Case of the Demure Defendant’, ch. III) — - Я не из тех, которые хнычут, - сказала мисс Фарр. - Мне многое пришлось в жизни пережить.
We've got to take this thing right on the chin. Sit down, Harris, and tell me about it. (E. S. Gardner, ‘The Case of the Sleep Walker's Niece’, ch. XIII) — Из-за этого мы не должны падать духом. Садитесь, Харрис, и расскажите мне все.

55 sweep smth. under the carpet
(sweep smth. under the carpet (или rug))не дать хода чему-л., замять дело; замалчивать, скрывать что-л. (особ. неприятное)‘I'd much rather not talk about her if you don't mind.’ ‘Very well. Sweep it under the rug.’ ‘That's exactly what I will do, and I must ask you to do the same...’ (J. O'Hara, ‘The Instrument’, ch. II) — - Если ты не возражаешь, я предпочитаю не говорить о поведении Шейлы. - Очень хорошо. Стараешься замять неприятную тему. - Вот именно. И тебя прошу поступить так же...
It is unlikely then that there will be any way to sweep the topic under the rug. (‘The Nation’) — Поэтому вряд ли удастся прекратить обсуждение этого вопроса.
A White Paper has been issued which puts only one side of the case. All the economic problems posed by our entry into the European Economic Community (EEC) are swept under the carpet, and the future in Europe is portrayed in glowing and rosy terms. (‘Labour Monthly’) — В Белой книге освещается только одна сторона вопроса. Все экономические проблемы, связанные с нашим вступлением в Европейское экономическое сообщество, не затрагиваются совсем, и будущее Европы описывается в самых радужных тонах.
