12 make the best of a bad bargain
(make the best of a bad bargain (business или job) (тж. make the best of it))мужественно, безропотно переносить несчастья, не унывать, не падать духом (в беде); с честью выйти из затруднительного положения; ≈ не ударить лицом в грязь; см. тж. make the best of smth. 2)I can remember a time when English people going to live in Germany were astonished to find that German boots were not divided into rights and lefts: a boot was a boot and it did not matter which foot you put it on, your foot had to make the best of it. (B. Shaw, ‘Platform and Pulpit’, ‘School’) — Я помню время, когда англичан, живших в Германии, несказанно удивляло, что левый и правый ботинок у немцев не отличались один от другого: ботинок есть ботинок, какая разница, на какую ногу надеть. Пусть нога приспосабливается.
The will was read, and it appeared that she had left everything she had... to her companion... the family thought there was nothing to do but make the best of a bad job and went back to London. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Happy Couple’) — Когда было оглашено завещание, то оказалось, что мисс Уингфорд оставила всё свое состояние... компаньонке... семье не оставалось ничего другого, как сделать хорошую мину при плохой игре и уехать обратно в Лондон.

13 many happy returns
поздравляю с днём рождения, желаю вам долгой жизниHow many people dine together today at the eldest son's, to congratulate the old couple and wish them many happy returns, is a calculation beyond our powers... (Ch. Dickens, ‘Sketches of Young Couples’, ‘The Old Couple’) — Мы даже сосчитать не в состоянии, сколько гостей обедает сегодня в доме старшего сына, поздравляя стариков и желая им здравствовать долгие годы...
Dear Anton. The sunshine has come back specially for your birthday, I think. I made the cake myself, and wish you many happy returns of the day. (D. H. Lawrence, ‘The Rainbow’, ch. X) — Дорогой Антон! Мне кажется, что солнце вернулось нарочно к вашему дню рождения. Я испекла вам пирог. Желаю вам счастливо встретить этот день.
Roger turned back to his mother and fished out of his pocket a small box. ‘I've brought you a present from Warsaw, darling. Many happy returns.’ (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Hour before the Dawn’, ch. I) — Роджер повернулся к матери и вынул из кармана коробочку. - Я привез тебе подарок из Варшавы, дорогая. Поздравляю тебя с днем рождения.
