12 burn the candle at both ends

1) "жечь свечу с обоих концов", прожигать жизнь, безрассудно растрачивать силы, здоровье [этим. фр. brûler la chandelle par les deux bouts]

...he had, in fact, burned the candle at both ends; but he had never been unready to do his fellows a good turn. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Villa Rubein’, ch. III) —...да, он прожигал жизнь, но всегда был готов оказать своим товарищам дружескую услугу.

The chemist brought the draught. ‘Not sleeping, sir?’ ‘No.’ The man's eyes seemed to say: ‘Yes. Burning the candle at both ends - I know!’ (J. Galsworthy, ‘Caravan’, ‘The First and the Last’) — Аптекарь принес лекарства. - Не спите, сэр? - Нет. Его глаза, казалось, говорили: "Ясно. Загуляли. Я это понимаю"

2) не щадить себя (ср. сгорать на работе)

When she asked me about my work, I told her about my interests, the meetings I was attending, the writing I was doing, short-stories as well as journalism. She thought I was "burning the candle at both ends", as she said: throwing too much energy into the business of earning a living while there was so much to learn, so many experiences to glean apart from it. (K. S. Prichard. ‘Child of the Hurricane’, ch. XXVI) — Когда Мэри спросила меня о работе, я рассказала о своих увлечениях: посещаю собрания, много пишу, не только газетные статьи, еще и рассказы. На это Мэри заметила, что я, по ее мнению, "жгу свечу с обоих концов". Слишком много сил трачу на добывание хлеба насущного, а ведь мне еще столько надо узнать, столько увидеть и услышать.

Pursing her lips she said to herself, ‘He's losing weight. I've got to watch his food. His face is getting drawn, look at his cheek-bones! He's burning the candle at both ends...’ (D. Carter, ‘Fatherless Sons’, ch. 24) — Поджав губы, Анна сказала себе: "Он худеет. Надо будет проследить, чтобы он ел как следует. Лицо осунулось, одни скулы торчат. Да, он не щадит себя..."
