101 the ends of the earth
The slave trade would still be a British trade if it had not been forbid den by law through the efforts of British philanthropists who, with their eyes in the ends of the earth, did not know that British children were being overworked and beaten in British factories as cruelly as the Negro children in the plantations. (B. Shaw, ‘The Intelligent Woman's Guide to Socialism and Capitalism’, ch. 37) — Англичане продолжали бы заниматься работорговлей, если бы английские филантропы не добились, чтобы она была запрещена законом. Эти люди видели, что делается в отдаленных уголках земли, но не замечали, что у них под носом английских детей морят голодом и избивают не менее жестоко, чем негритянских ребятишек на плантациях.
As for dealers they have come from the ends of the earth. (J. B. Priestley, ‘The Good Companions’, book I, ch. II) — Что касается торговцев, то они понаехали издалека.

102 the joint in smb.'s armour
чьё-л. слабое место; ≈ ахиллесова пята; см. тж. a chink in smb's armourThe Plutocracy, by virtue of its possession of the government raised their taxes. It was the weak joint in their armour. Neither buying nor selling, they had no money and in the end their land was sold to pay the taxes. (J. London, ‘The Iron Heel’, ch. XIII) — Плутократия, в руках которой была административная власть, повысила налоги. Это было ахиллесовой пятой фермеров. Не покупая и не продавая ничего, они, конечно, не имели денег, и в конце концов их фермы были проданы с молотка за недоимки.
Catherine it seems had chanced to get her fingers through exactly that joint in his armour. (H. G. Wells, ‘Meanwhile’, book II) — Кэтрин, видимо, удалось нащупать его слабое место.
‘Here, you want to go an' shadder a few manners the next time you go shaddering,’ miss Sellers jeered, singling out, with feminine swiftness and accuracy, the weak joint in the other's armour. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. V) — - Не мешало бы тебе, когда будешь заниматься слежкой, заодно поучиться у своих "подопечных" хорошим манерам, - съязвила мисс Селлерс, выбрав со свойственной женщинам в таких случаях быстротой и точностью слабое место в броне противника.
