12 place a premium on smth.
(place (put или set) a premium on (или upon) smth.)поощрять, стимулировать что-л., содействовать чему-л.In no sense is our economic order scientific. Still less is it Christian. Placing a premium on selfish motives, it inflames the acquisitive instinct, and smashes human lives. (Th. Dreiser, ‘America Is Worth Saving’, ch. X) — Наша экономическая система отнюдь не является научно оправданной. Еще меньше в ней христианского духа. Поощряя эгоистические тенденции, она разжигает собственнические инстинкты и губит человеческую жизнь.
He's been greedy and domineering, among other reasons, because the present system puts a premium on those qualities. (A. Huxley, ‘After Many a Summer’, part I, ch. XI) — Он был человек алчный и властолюбивый, в частности потому, что эти качества стимулируются существующей системой.
When they love, they love passionately and place a high premium on fidelity. (I. Shaw, ‘Lucy Crown’, ch. 6) — Если они любят, то любят страстно и превыше всего ценят верность.
