(W. Shakespeare, ‘Othello’, act I, sc. 1) — Яго: "...Пусть будет мне небо свидетелем, что я служу не из любви и долга, а делаю тут вид, преследуя свою личную цель. Ибо если мое поведение выказывало бы на людях то, что действительно происходит в моем сердце и каким оно является, то вскоре я стал бы ходить с распахнутой душой и меня заклевал бы любой простак: я не то, что я есть." (перевод М. Морозова)
We do not specially respect him who wears his heart upon his sleeve for daws to peck at... (A. Trollope, ‘Ralph the Heir’, ch. I) — Мы не очень уважаем человека, который любит выставлять напоказ свои чувства...
Admit - oh! freely - that she, Fleur Mont, was indisciplined, still, she hadn't worn her heart upon her sleeve. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Swan Song’, part III, ch. X) — Допустим - о, это так легко! - что у нее, Флер Монт, устоев нет; а все-таки она не изливалась всем и каждому.
And I say that the Britisher doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve. But he feels deeply. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Angel Pavement’, ch. V) — О британце не скажешь, что у него душа нараспашку; но он способен глубоко чувствовать.
2) быть влюбчивым, легко увлекатьсяWearing her heart on her sleeve, she gushed over any man who took an interest in her. (RHD) — Она такая влюбчивая - стоит мужчине проявить к ней интерес, как она уже влюблена в него по уши.

преследуя корыстные цели, стремясь к наживе, к выгоде; см. тж. the main chanceShe... combined feminine tact with masculine vigour, a heart of gold with an unerring eye for the main chance. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Cakes and Ale’, ch. XXII) —...женский такт сочетался в миссис Бартон Траффорд с мужской хваткой, золотое сердце с умением сделать правильный выбор.
With the mercenary soldier's eye to the main chance, Crane took very good care of himself when no superior was present... and seemed to be fighting like a tiger, whenever an officer was about. (R. Aldington, ‘Roads to Glory’, ‘Killed in Action’) — Преследуя чисто корыстные цели, Крейн, как и подобало солдату-наемнику, очень заботился о собственной персоне, когда поблизости не было офицера... и делал вид, что дерется как лев, когда офицер был неподалеку.

Time
Preposition ► You can usually translate after referring to a point in time using después de:
Please ring after six Por favor, llama después de las seis
I'll phone you after the match Te llamaré después del partido
... Francoism after Franco...... el franquismo después de Franco... ► To translate after + ((period of time)), you can also use al cabo de in more formal Spanish:
After a year in the army, he had had enough Después de (estar) un año en el ejército or Al cabo de un año en el ejército, no lo soportaba más ► Use más tarde que or después que w ith names of people and personal pronouns when they stand in for a verb:
He got there half an hour after us or after we did Llegó allí media hora más tarde que nosotros or después que nosotros ► Translate after + ((-ing)) using después de + ((infinitive)):
Don't go swimming immediately after eating No te bañes justo después de comer
Conjunction ► When the action in the after clause has already happened, and the subjects of the two clauses are different, you can generally translate after using después de que. This can be followed either by the {indicative} or, especially in formal or literary Spanish, by the {subjunctive}:
I met her after she had left the company La conocí después de que dejó or dejara la empresa ► When the action in the after clause has not happened yet or had not happened at the time of speaking, cuando is more common than después de que, though both translations are possible. In both cases, use the {subjunctive}:
We'll test the brakes after you've done another thousand miles Comprobaremos los frenos cuando or después de que haya recorrido mil millas más ► If the subject of both clauses is the same, des pués de + ((infinitive)) is usually used rather than después de que:
He wrote to me again after he retired Me volvió a escribir después de jubilarse This construction is also sometimes used in colloquial Spanish even when the subjects are different:
After you left, the party ended Después de irte tú, se terminó la fiesta For further uses and examples, see main entry* * *

37 Einthoven, Willem
SUBJECT AREA: Medical technology[br]b. 21 May 1860 Semarang, Javad. 28 September 1927 Leiden, the Netherlands[br]Dutch physiologist, inventor of the string galvanometer and discoverer of the electrocardiogram (ECG).[br]As a medical student in Utrecht from 1879 Einthoven published an account of pronation and supination of the arm (following his own injury) as well as a paper on stereoscopy through colour differentiation. Soon after graduating in July 1885, he was appointed Professor of Physiology at Leiden.In 1895, while involved in the study of the electric action potentials of the heart, he developed the sensitive string galvanometer, and in 1896 he was able to register the electrocardiograms of animals and humans, relating them to the heart sounds. Developing this work, he not only established the detailed geometry of the leads for these recordings, but was able to build up an insight into their variations in different forms of heart disease. In 1924 he further investigated the action currents of the sympathetic nervous system.[br]Principal Honours and DistinctionsNobel Prize for Medicine or Physiology 1924.Bibliography1895, "Uber die form des menschlichen Elektrocardiogramms", Pflügers Archiv.Further Readingde Waart, 1957, Einthoven, Haarlem (complete list of works).MG -
