С ЧУЖОГО ПЛЕЧА coll PrepP Invar nonagreeing postmodif or subj-compl with быть« ( subj: a noun denoting a piece of clothing) fixed WO(a piece of clothing) worn formerly by another, usu. not the right size for the person wearing ita hand-me-down (jacket (dress etc))a secondhand (jacket (dress etc)) (a jacket (dress etc)) off someone else's back someone else' castoff(s) other peopled castoffs (in limited contexts) a borrowed (jacket (dress etc))....Пришёл кособокий мужичок в пиджаке с чужого плеча... (Трифонов 6). A lopsided fellow came along wearing a hand-me-down jacket... (6a).Даже... костюм, туфли и шляпа - были куплены в комиссионном магазине и при всей своей превосходной доброте имели изъян - это были вещи не свои, не родные, с чужого плеча (Ильф и Петров 2). Even the...suit, hat, and shoes...were bought in a second-hand shop, and despite their excellent quality, they suffered from the one defect that they were not his but off someone else's back (2a).Всё на девчонке не впору, с чужого плеча, с чужой ноги: большие валенки, большой, не по росту, засаленный, с оборванными пуговицами ватник, большой чёрный платок, повязанный крест на крест, так, что узел приходится впереди, чуть повыше колен (Чуковская 2). Nothing the little girl was wearing fitted her. Her clothes were other people's cas toffs. She had on large felt boots, a grease-stained padded jacket with the buttons torn off and a large black shawl fastened cross-wise so that the knot came in front, a little higher than the knees (2a).Они вошли в дом. И тут только, после пережитых минут глубокого волнения, Бунчука вновь стало тяготить пальто с чужого плеча, - оно стесняло, давило под мышками, путало каждое движение (Шолохов 3). They went into the house. And only then, after those first minutes of emotion, did Bunchuk again feel uncomfortable in the borrowed overcoat. It was too tight, he felt cramped under the arms, afraid to move (3a).
