1 the chips are down and the stakes are high
амер.(the chips are down and the stakes are high (сокр. (when) the chips are down))когда наступает ответственный, критический момент [букв. фишки брошены, и ставки высоки (в рулетке)]The previews are always more fun than the actual shows anyway. Since the chips are not down, everyone is at ease and the audience is aware of it. (A. Marx, ‘Life With Groucho’, ch. XXV) — Предварительные просмотры всегда интереснее, чем последующие постановки. Ответственный момент еще не наступил, актеры чувствуют себя спокойно, и зрительный зал понимает это.
When the chips are down a man shows what he really is. (DAS) — Человека узнают по тому, как он ведет себя в минуту опасности.
