  • 124 kick smb. in the pants

    груб.
    всыпать кому-л., взгреть кого-л., дать нахлобучку кому-л.

    They upbraided the public because it would not see that here was a great writer, and since the easiest way to exalt one man is to kick another in the pants they reviled freely all the novelists whose contemporary fame obscured his. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. XIV) — Друзья Эдуарда Дриффилда упрекали публику за непонимание того, что он великий писатель, а так как легче всего возвысить одного, понося другого, то они набрасывались на всех современных романистов, слава которых затмевала его славу.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they had it all cooked up with some of the officials. They must be feeling damn sure of themselves to kick us in the pants in this cocksure way. (J. Lindsay, ‘A Local Habitation’, ch. 19) — И я не удивлюсь, если узнаю, что тут не обошлось без прямого сговора между дирекцией и руководством профсоюза. Уж больно нагло они действуют, нападая на нас, уж больно уверены в своих силах.

  • 125 Points of the compass

    north = nord N
    south = sud S
    east = est E
    west = ouest O
    nord, sud, est, ouest is the normal order in French as well as English.
    northeast = nord-est NE
    northwest = nord-ouest NO
    north-northeast = nord-nord-est NNE
    east-northeast = est-nord-est ENE
    Where?
    Compass points in French are not normally written with a capital letter. However, when they refer to a specific region in phrases such as I love the North or he lives in the North, and it is clear where this North is, without any further specification such as of France or of Europe, then they are written with a capital letter, as they often are in English, too. In the following examples, north and nord stand for any compass point word.
    I love the North
    = j’aime le Nord
    to live in the North
    = vivre dans le Nord
    Normally, however, these words do not take a capital letter:
    in the north of Scotland
    = dans le nord de l’Écosse
    Take care to distinguish this from
    to the north of Scotland (i.e. further north than Scotland)
    = au nord de l’Écosse
    in the south of Spain
    = dans le sud de l’Espagne*
    it is north of the hill
    = c’est au nord de la colline
    a few kilometres north
    = à quelques kilomètres au nord
    due north of here
    = droit au nord
    * Note that the south of France is more usually referred to as le Midi.
    There is another set of words in French for north, south etc., some of which are more
    common than others:
    (north) septentrion (rarely used) septentrional(e)
    (south) midi méridional(e)
    (east) orient oriental(e)
    (west) occident occidental(e)
    Translating northern etc.
    a northern town
    = une ville du Nord
    a northern accent
    = un accent du Nord
    the most northerly outpost
    = l’avant-poste le plus au nord
    Regions of countries and continents work like this:
    northern Europe
    = l’Europe du Nord
    the northern parts of Japan
    = le nord du Japon
    eastern France
    = l’est de la France
    For names of countries and continents which include these compass point words, such as North America or South Korea, see the dictionary entry.
    Where to?
    French has fewer ways of expressing this than English has ; vers le is usually safe:
    to go north
    = aller vers le nord
    to head towards the north
    = se diriger vers le nord
    to go northwards
    = aller vers le nord
    to go in a northerly direction
    = aller vers le nord
    a northbound ship
    = un bateau qui se dirige vers le nord
    With some verbs, such as to face, the French expression changes:
    the windows face north
    = les fenêtres donnent au nord
    a north-facing slope
    = une pente orientée au nord
    If in doubt, check in the dictionary.
    Where from?
    The usual way of expressing from the is du:
    it comes from the north
    = cela vient du nord
    from the north of Germany
    = du nord de l’Allemagne
    Note also these expressions relating to the direction of the wind:
    the north wind
    = le vent du nord
    a northerly wind
    = un vent du nord
    prevailing north winds
    = des vents dominants du nord
    the wind is in the north
    = le vent est au nord
    the wind is coming from the north
    = le vent vient du nord
    Compass point words used as adjectives
    The French words nord, sud, est and ouest are really nouns, so when they are used as adjectives they are invariable.
    the north coast
    = la côte nord
    the north door
    = la porte nord
    the north face (of a mountain)
    = la face nord
    the north side
    = le côté nord
    the north wall
    = le mur nord
    Nautical bearings
    The preposition by is translated by quart in expressions like the following:
    north by northwest
    = nord quart nord-ouest
    southeast by south
    = sud-est quart sud

  • 126 in the offing

    1) поблизости, невдалеке [этим. мор. вдали от берега (но в виду его)]

    Here, then, was the guest. Unlimited energy in the offing - right in the sea. As might be expected, a rash of pie-in-the-sky prediction broke out. (R. E. Lapp, ‘Atoms and People’, ch. XIV) — Так вот где заветная цель! Неиссякаемые запасы энергии у нас под самым носом - в морской воде. Как и следовало ожидать, хлынул поток самых фантастических предсказаний.

    Here was Aileen talking bravely of the necessity of her Frank finding a woman suitable to his needs, tastes, abilities, but now that the possibility of another woman equally or possibly better suited to him was looking in the offing, she could not reason in the same way. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Titan’, ch. XVII) — В ту пору Эйлин смело говорила о том, что "ее Фрэнку" нужна женщина, которая подходила бы ему по развитию, склонностям, вкусам; теперь же, когда вполне реальной стала возможность, что Фрэнк найдет себе возлюбленную, еще более отвечающую его запросам, она стала рассуждать совсем по-другому.

    I was as certain as I've ever been of anything that all sorts of rotten things were in the offing. (P. G. Wodehouse, ‘Carry on, Jeeves’, ch. I) — У меня не было никакого сомнения, что эти люди замышляют всевозможные подлости.

  • 127 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.

  • 128 bring smb. into the picture

    (bring smb. (или smth.) into the picture)
    упоминать, затрагивать кого-л. (или что-л.); коснуться чего-л.

    ‘Don't you think I ought to stay here with you? You may need me as a witness that he attacked you...’ ‘No, Steve. I'm afraid I may have to pretend I was alone. Unless it becomes absolutely necessary to bring you into the picture, I think I'd rather not.’ (G. Gordon, ‘Let the Day Perish’, ch. XLIII) — - А не лучше ли мне задержаться? Я ведь могу потребоваться тебе как свидетель, чтобы показать, что это Босман напал на тебя... - Нет, Стив, не надо. Боюсь, мне придется сделать вид, что я был один. Я бы предпочел оставить тебя в тени, если, конечно, не возникнет необходимости в твоих показаниях.

    He could not see any way of solving the London traffic problem without bringing the railway companies into the picture. (‘Daily Telegraph’, OED) — Он считал, что решить проблему уличного движения в Лондоне можно только с привлечением железнодорожных компаний.
