  • 121 the workshop of the world

    уст.
    "мастерская мира" ( прозвище Англии) [выражение создано Б. Дизраэли: The Continent will not suffer England to be the workshop of the world. (B. Disraeli, Speech, House of Commons, 15 March, 1838, ODQ)]

    By the eighties the United States had already overtaken Great Britain and was well on the way to leaving the erstwhile "workshop of the world" far behind in industrial development. (W. Foster, ‘Outline History of the World Trade Union Movement’, ch. 5) — К восьмидесятым годам Соединенные Штаты уже догнали Англию и быстро двигались вперед, намного опережая в промышленном развитии бывшую "мастерскую мира".

    2) Банк (площадь в центре лондонского Сити [ City 1)] перед Английским банком [ Bank of England])

  • 123 the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton

    "битва при Ватерлоо была выиграна на спортивных площадках Итона", т. е. слава Англии куётся в закрытых учебных заведениях

    The public schools of England breed all that is least likeable in the English character. The battle of Waterloo was no more won on the playing fields of Eton than the Battle of El Alamein was won by the League for Distressed Gentlewomen. (‘Tribune’) — Закрытые средние учебные заведения Англии воспитывают в своих питомцах наименее приятные черты английского характера. И если битва при Ватерлоо была выиграна на спортивных площадках Итона, то почему бы не считать, что битва под Эль-Аламейном выиграна Лигой помощи обедневшим аристократкам?

  • 124 the Mother of Parliaments

    1) родина парламентаризма ( Англия) [выражение создано государственным деятелем Дж. Брайтом (J. Bright, 1811-89): England is the mother of parliaments]

    A fierce controversy was under way over the question of self-government for Ireland, the Ulstermen were swearing they would never be ruled by Catholics, and Sir Edward Carson was organizing an army and threatening civil war. In short, the Mother of Parliaments was hardly setting the best of examples to her children all over the world. (U. Sinclair, ‘World's End’, ch. 8) — Это было время ожесточенных споров о самоуправлении Ирландии. Ольстерцы клялись, что они никогда не покорятся католикам, и сэр Эдвард Карсон набирал армию и грозил гражданской войной. Короче говоря, никак нельзя было сказать, что праматерь парламентов подает хороший пример своим детям, рассеянным по всему свету.

    2) ≈ "отец парламентов" ( прозвище английского парламента)

    Never has the Mother of Parliaments seen such a scene of enthusiasm as when Mr. Lloyd George read out the armistice terms yesterday. (‘Daily Mirror’, Suppl) — Никогда английский парламент не был свидетелем такого энтузиазма, как вчера во время зачтения мистером Ллойд Джорджем условий перемирия.

  • 125 the old country

    1) Англия, метрополия (по отношению к колониям; тж. the mother country)

    It is exaggeration to say that now... the everyday cultural life of Canada resembles that of the United States far more than it does that of the "mother country", Great Britain. (W. Foster, ‘Outline Political History of the Americas’, book III, ch. 29) — Можно без преувеличения сказать, что... культурная жизнь Канады гораздо больше напоминает культурную жизнь США, чем своей метрополии - Англии.

    2) родина, отечество (тж. the mother country)

    He won't leave England again, Uncle Soames - seems to have developed quite a feeling for the old country. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Swan Song’, part II, ch. X) — Он больше не уедет из Англии, дядя Сомс, - по-видимому, проникся нежной любовью к родине.

    3) амер. страна предков

    ‘By golly,’ Babbitt droned, ‘wouldn't be so bad to go over to the Old Country and take a squint at all these ruins and the place where Shakespeare was born.’ (S. Lewis, ‘Babbitt’, ch. XI) — - Ей-богу, неплохо было бы съездить за океан, поглядеть Старый Свет, - бубнил Бэббит, - всякие там руины, дом, где родился Шекспир.

  • 126 the sinews of war

    деньги, материальные средства (обыкн. необходимые для ведения войны) [этим. лат. nervi belli pecunia]

    Since one of the leading grievances against England had been taxation, the Congress itself naturally had to be care ful about imposing burdens on the people. So it sought to provide the sinews of war by resorting to paper money, requisitions and loans. (Ch. and M. Beard, ‘The Rise of American Civilization’, ch. VII) — Чрезмерные налоги были одной из причин недовольства Англией. Поэтому Конгресс, естественно, должен был проявлять осторожность в отношении налогового бремени. Вот ему и приходилось изыскивать средства для ведения войны, прибегая к помощи реквизиций, займов и выпуску бумажных денег.

    ...the Pendridny estate was not only a going, but even a profitable concern, supporting itself and supplying some of the sinews of war towards Valley's House... and other general expenses (J. Galsworthy, ‘The Patrician’, part II, ch. I) —...имение Пендридни процветало и приносило доход, достаточный для покрытия расходов, связанных с его управлением... и для всяких других нужд.

  • 127 the stool of repentance

    уст.
    публичное унижение [ист. позорный стул (в шотландских церквах)]

    The Parliament met at Sterling, and shortly after brought all the lords of the other party thither, who appeared to have credit enough to wipe off all those stains with which the Engagement had defaced them, yet with submission to stand publicly in the stool of repentance, acknowledging their former transgression, as they all did. (E. Clarendon, ‘The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England’, OED) — Парламент собрался в Стерлинге, и в его заседаниях вскоре приняли участие все те лорды - сторонники короля, у которых хватило мужества смыть позор, которым они себя покрыли, поддерживая тайный договор Карла I с шотландскими пресвитерианцами. Они подверглись публичному унижению и признали свои грехи.

  • 128 the freedom of the rule

    шотл.; юр.

    Ivanhoe was highly successful upon its appearance, and may be said to have procured for its author the freedom of the Rules, since he has ever since been permitted to exercise his power of fictitious composition in England as well as Scotland. (W. Scott, ‘Ivanhoe’, ‘Introduction’) — Роман "Айвенго" имел большой успех; он, можно сказать, утвердил за автором "законодательную власть", ибо с тех самых пор ему было позволено изображать в своих сочинениях как Англию, так и Шотландию.
