  • 2 а ларчик просто открывался

    (И. Крылов)
    lit. that was a box that opened of itself; the mystery is (was) easily solved; the solution (explanation) is (was) quite simple; what can (could) be simpler?; there was nothing to it; the reason is clear as day

    - Оставайтесь у меня, ночуйте, а завтра напишите записку: так и так, мой друг, я жив и здоров, но уезжаю по очень экстренному делу, которое устроит наше благополучие. А потом, когда женитесь, пошлите деньги - и делу конец: ларчик, кажется, просто открывался! (А. Писемский, Тысяча душ) — 'Stay here for the night and tomorrow send her a note: 'My dear friend, and so on and so on, I'm alive and well, but have to leave on urgent business which will enable me to make our fortune.' And when you are married you can send her money, and there's an end of the matter. What could be simpler?'

    - Много напишут длинных рассуждений об атаках лёгкой конницы. Чего только не будут писать! А ларчик успеха открывается просто: действовали Кутейников, Иловайский, Карпов... (С. Голубов, Багратион) — 'Long dissertations will be written about the attacks of the light cavalry. What won't they write about them! But the mystery is easily solved: Kuteinikov's, Ilovaisky's and Karpov's regiments were in action.'
