  • 1 go to the wall

       1) пoтepпeть нeудaчу, фиacкo, пpoвaлитьcя; быть вытecнeнным, вынуждeнным уcтупить cвoё мecтo; coйти co cцeны
        Olive....my one all-absorbing fear is that you will in time become so enthralled and interested in his work that you'll allow yours to go to the wall (N. Coward). I wavered between injured dignity and the overwhelming desire to express my theories. Injured dignity went to the wall (A. Christie)

  • 2 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..."

  • 3 clear the decks

    1) приготовиться к чему-л. (к каким-л. действиям, борьбе и т. д.); [этим. мор. приготовиться к бою]

    When the decks had thus been cleared of every encumbrance, they chose Fairfax as their Captain-General... (G. M. Trevelyan, ‘History of England’, book IV, ch. III) — Когда, таким образом, все препятствия были устранены, парламент назначил Ферфакса главнокомандующим.

    Joining our group, Diana was avid for action. ‘Look,’ she said to Roger, ‘I want to give you a real party. We can clear the decks here and lay it on for later tonight.’ (C. P. Snow, ‘Corridors of Power’, ch. X) — К нам подошла Диана. Ей не терпелось как-то выразить свои чувства. - Вот что, - сказала она Роджеру. - Я хочу устроить банкет в вашу честь. Можно прямо сейчас начать приготовления. К вечеру все успеем сделать.

    How can you expect me to do any work when you leave all this litter lying about in the room. Hurry up and clear the docks! (SPI) — Неужели вы думаете, что я могу работать, когда комната полна мусора? А ну, живо прибери все!

    b. 5 June 1900 Budapest, Hungary
    d. 9 February 1979 London, England
    [br]
    Hungarian (naturalized British) physicist, inventor of holography.
    [br]
    Gabor became interested in physics at an early age. Called up for military service in 1918, he was soon released when the First World War came to an end. He then began a mechanical engineering course at the Budapest Technical University, but a further order to register for military service prompted him to flee in 1920 to Germany, where he completed his studies at Berlin Technical University. He was awarded a Diploma in Engineering in 1924 and a Doctorate in Electrical Engineering in 1927. He then went on to work in the physics laboratory of Siemens \& Halske. He returned to Hungary in 1933 and developed a new kind of fluorescent lamp called the plasma lamp. Failing to find a market for this device, Gabor made the decision to abandon his homeland and emigrate to England. There he joined British Thompson-Houston (BTH) in 1934 and married a colleague from the company in 1936. Gabor was also unsuccessful in his attempts to develop the plasma lamp in England, and by 1937 he had begun to work in the field of electron optics. His work was interrupted by the outbreak of war in 1939, although as he was not yet a British subject he was barred from making any significant contribution to the British war effort. It was only when the war was near its end that he was able to return to electron optics and begin the work that led to the invention of holography. The theory was developed during 1947 and 1948; Gabor went on to demonstrate that the theories worked, although it was not until the invention of the laser in 1960 that the full potential of his invention could be appreciated. He coined the term "hologram" from the Greek holos, meaning complete, and gram, meaning written. The three-dimensional images have since found many applications in various fields, including map making, medical imaging, computing, information technology, art and advertising. Gabor left BTH to become an associate professor at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in 1949, a position he held until his retirement in 1967. In 1971 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for his work on holography.

    [br]
    b. 31 March 1854 Glasgow, Scotland
    d. 12 November 1932 Ewhurst, Surrey, England
    [br]
    Scottish mechanical engineer, inventor of the two-stroke internal combustion engine.
    [br]
    Clerk began his engineering training at about the age of 15 in the drawing office of H.O.Robinson \& Company, Glasgow, and in his father's works. Meanwhile, he studied at the West of Scotland Technical College and then, from 1871 to 1876, at Anderson's College, Glasgow, and at the Yorkshire College of Science, Leeds. Here he worked under and then became assistant to the distinguished chemist T.E.Thorpe, who set him to work on the fractional distillation of petroleum, which was to be useful to him in his later work. At that time he had intended to become a chemical engineer, but seeing a Lenoir gas engine at work, after his return to Glasgow, turned his main interest to gas and other internal combustion engines. He pursued his investigations first at Thomson, Sterne \& Company (1877–85) and then at Tangyes of Birmingham (1886–88. In 1888 he began a lifelong partnership in Marks and Clerk, consulting engineers and patent agents, in London.
    Beginning his work on gas engines in 1876, he achieved two patents in the two following years. In 1878 he made his principal invention, patented in 1881, of an engine working on the two-stroke cycle, in which the piston is powered during each revolution of the crankshaft, instead of alternate revolutions as in the Otto four-stroke cycle. In this engine, Clerk introduced supercharging, or increasing the pressure of the air intake. Many engines of the Clerk type were made but their popularity waned after the patent for the Otto engine expired in 1890. Interest was later revived, particularly for application to large gas engines, but Clerk's engine eventually came into its own where simple, low-power motors are needed, such as in motor cycles or motor mowers.
    Clerk's work on the theory and design of gas engines bore fruit in the book The Gas Engine (1886), republished with an extended text in 1909 as The Gas, Petrol and Oil Engine; these and a number of papers in scientific journals won him international renown. During and after the First World War, Clerk widened the scope of his interests and served, often as chairman, on many bodies in the field of science and industry.

    [br]
    American pharmacologist and physiologist, proponent of the "artificial kidney" and the isolator of pure insulin.
    [br]
    Born of German immigrant farming stock, his early scientific education at the University of Michigan, where he graduated PhB in 1883, suffered from a financially dictated interregnum of three years. In 1884 he moved to Leipzig and worked under Ludwig, moving to Strasbourg where he obtained his MD in 1888. In 1891 he was able to return to the University of Michigan as Lecturer in Materia Medica and Therapeutics, and in 1893 he was offered the first Chair of Pharmacology at Johns Hopkins University, a position he occupied until 1932. He was a pioneer in emphasizing the importance of chemistry, in its widest sense, in medicine and physiology. In his view, "the investigator must associate himself with those who have laboured in fields where molecules and atoms rather than multi-cellular tissues or even unicellular organisms are the units of study".
    Soon after coming to Baltimore he commenced work on extracts from the adrenal medulla and in 1899 published his work on epinephrine. In later years he developed an "artificial kidney" which could be used to remove diffusible substances from the blood. In 1913 he was able to demonstrate the existence of free amino-acids in the blood and his investigations in this field foreshadowed not only the developments of blood and plasma transfusion but also the possibility of the management of renal failure.
    From 1917 to 1924 he moved to a study of the hormone content of pituitary extracts, but in 1924 he suddenly transferred his attention to the study of insulin. In 1925 he announced the discovery of pure crystalline hormone. This work at first failed to gain full acceptance, but as late as 1955 the full elucidation of the protein structure of insulin proved the final culmination of his studies.
    Abel's dedication to laboratory research and his disdain for matters of administration may explain the relative paucity of worldy honours awarded to such an outstanding figure.
