книжн.

( the primrose path (of dalliance))

1) путь наслаждений, стезя утех [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]

Ophelia: "I shall the effect of this good lesson keep As watchman to my heart. But, good my brother, Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, Show me the steep and thorny way to heaven; Whilst like a puff'd and reckless libertine, Himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, And recks not his own rede. " (W. Shakespeare, ‘Hamlet’, act I, sc. 3) — Офелия: "Я сохраню, как сторожа души, Урок твой добрый. Только, милый брат, Не будь как грешный пастырь, что другим Указывает к небу путь тернистый, А сам, беспечный и пустой гуляка, Идет тропой утех, Забыв свои советы. " (перевод М. Лозинского)

The Sheriff: "...There is also a strong feeling among the men of this town that a line should be drawn between those that are straight wives and mothers and those that are... taking the primrose path." (B. Shaw, ‘The Shewing-up of Blanco Posnet’) — Шериф: "...Мужчины нашего города убеждены, что должно делаться различие между добродетельными женами и матерями и теми женщинами, которые... избрали путь порока."

‘I know I'd never trust Martha with any secret of mine, and poor old Harry had to take up with that woman in New York just to have someone to confide in, to talk to.’ ‘There was more to it than that, though, wasn't there. Morris?’ ‘Well, of course I assume so. You mean the primrose path of dalliance. Yes, that too.’ (J. O'Hara, ‘The Lockwood Concern’, book I) — - И я никогда бы не доверил Марте никакой тайны. Вот бедняге Харри и пришлось пойти на связь с той женщиной из Нью-Йорка. Ему просто нужна была собеседница. - Но ведь там был и другой интерес, а, Моррис? - Разумеется, был, насколько я могу судить. Вы имеете в виду плотские утехи. Да. Было и это.

Nine months and more he'd been at Rollo's and he was still only a mechanic. It had been a primrose path at first, promising to lead him to all kinds of opportunities for advancement. Then things had turned tough, his road thorny. (R. Greenwood, ‘Mr. Bunting’, ch. XVI) — Десятый месяц он служит у Ролло, а все еще на должности простого механика. Вначале путь его был усыпан розами, впереди мерещилось повышение за повышением. Потом вдруг застопорило, и путь этот стал тернистым.

2) линия наименьшего сопротивления ( приводящая к несчастью)

5 the wars of the Roses

ист.

война Алой и Белой розы (длительная междоусобная война в Англии в XV в. между династиями Ланкастеров и Йорков) [в гербе Ланкастеров была алая роза, в гербе Йорков - белая]

Henry VII of England also had turned a deaf ear to Columbus' offers, that country just then recovering from the devastating Wars of the Roses, which had lasted from 1455 to 1485. (W. Foster, ‘Outline Political History of the Americas’, book I, ch. I) — Английский король Генрих VII тоже не внял предложению Колумба, так как его страна как раз в то время оправлялась от опустошительных войн Алой и Белой розы, длившихся с 1455 по 1485 год.

8 lay by the heels

1) уст. заковать в кандалы; посадить в колодки

2) редк. задержать, схватить, арестовать, посадить в тюрьму (тж. have или set by the heels)

‘Gentlemen,’ continued Florizel... ‘This s a fellow who has long eluded me, but whom, thanks to Dr. Noel, I now have tightly by the heels.’ (R. L. Stevenson, ‘New Arabian Nights’, ‘The Suicide Club’, ‘The Adventure of the Hansom Cab’) — - Джентльмены, - продолжал Флоризель... - перед вами человек, который в течение долгого времени ускользал от меня, но который теперь, благодаря доктору Ноэлю, находится целиком в моей власти.

Perhaps, for example - they meant to lay all the giants by the heels. They were all to be arrested together. (H. G. Wells, ‘The Food of the Gods’, book III, ch. IV) — Может быть, они хотят арестовать всех гигантов сразу и посадить их в тюрьму?

It was the belief of Scotland Yard that he fullest publicity was the best chance of laying the murderer by the heels. The population of Great Britain turned itself into an army of amateur sleuths. (A. Christie, ‘The ABC Murders’, ch. XVII) — Скотланд-ярд считал, что полная гласность в этом деле - лучший способ задержать убийцу. Все население Британии превратилось в армию ищеек-любителей.

3) сделать беспомощным; свалить

Romanticism... proceeded to hold the field till it was laid by the heels by realism. — Романтизм... продолжал занимать ключевые позиции, пока реализм не одержал над ним верх.

The rheumatism laid him by the heels. — Ревматизм сделал его совсем беспомощным.

9 fling down the gauntlet

книжн.

( fling (или throw) down the gauntlet)

бросить перчатку, вызвать кого-л. на состязание, борьбу [этим. фр. jeter le gant à; в Средние века рыцари вызывали противника на поединок, бросая свою латную рукавицу - gauntlet или glove]; см. тж. throw down the glove

Abruptly, he turned and sat down. The audience... suddenly realized that this was it, that Joseph had finished, and had thrown down the gauntlet. (S. Heym, ‘The Eyes of Reason’, book I, ch. 11) — Он тут же повернулся и сел. Публика, на одно мгновение оцепеневшая, поняла, что Иозеф кончил говорить, бросив перчатку своему противнику.

I was glad to see that the theatre journal Encore has taken up the gauntlet flung down recently by critic Kenneth Tynan. Tynan, you may remember, asserted... that so little in ten years seems to have changed. (‘Daily Worker’) — я был рад, когда театральный журнал "Энкор" поднял перчатку, брошенную ему недавно критиком Кеннетом Тайнаном. Тайнан, как вы помните, утверждал... что за последние десять лет в театре мало что изменилось.
