125 the lesser evil
(the lesser evil (тж. the lesser of two evils))наименьшее зло; см. тж. of two evils choose the leastThe agreement between Lincoln and the Radicals was not, as some have since said, a choice of the "lesser evil" by the latter. Up to the time of the split, Lincoln had headed the joint group of revolutionary forces; and despite his many weaknesses and errors, the movement was making progress under his leadership - with heavy pressure from the Radicals. (W. Foster, ‘The Negro People in American History’, ch. 24) — Вопреки утверждению многих, соглашение между Линкольном и радикалами не было для последних выбором "меньшего зла". Вплоть до раскола Линкольн руководил объединенными силами, и, несмотря на все его слабости и ошибки, движение делало успехи под его руководством при сильном давлении со стороны радикалов.

126 The Lusitano
The Portuguese breed of horse known as Lusitano has a history of at least a thousand years. Other noted Portuguese horse breeds are the Garrano and Sorraia, which evolved from ancient Iberian ponies and horses. Some authorities believe that the Lusitano breed evolved from the ancient Sorraia. The breed's name derives from Lusitania, the name the Romans gave to a portion of southwestern Iberia, a section of which became known in later centuries as Portugal. The breed's name also could be related to the name Luso, in ancient mythology a son of Bacchus, the god of wine and merriment. In recent decades, the Lusitano breed has become fashionable again in equestrian circles that participate in international riding competitions, as well as in producing mounts for the Portuguese bullfight. Despite a declining economy, less public interest and higher expenses in the bull- fighting industry, more opposition from animal rights advocates, and the constraints of European Union regulations, the bull-fight has endured as a sport. Breeding such horses has become a growing business not only for competitive riding, especially dressage, and an increasingly popular equestrian tourism, but also for bull-fighting. Lusitano breeding farms are located mainly in two provinces in Ribatejo, part of the Tagus River valley, and in Alentejo. -
127 the bag of tricks
1) весь арсенал хитростей, фокусов; всяческие уловки, ухищрения [выражение из басни "The Fox and the Cat" (перевод басни Лафонтена)]Yankee imperialism is using a whole bag of economical and political tricks to strengthen its grip in Latin America. (W. Foster, ‘Outline Political History of the Americas’, book III, ch. 29) — Для укрепления своей власти над странами Латинской Америки империалисты США пользуются широким ассортиментом экономических и политических трюков.
2) всё целиком, всё и всяAfter all, I ask so little. I only want five pounds a week, and they can keep the title and the park and the Gainsboroughs and the whole bag of tricks. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Complete Short Stories’, ‘The Alien Corn’) — В конце концов я прошу так мало. Мне нужно только пять фунтов в неделю, а семья может оставить себе титул, парк, картины Гейнсборо - словом, решительно все.

128 the jungle law
закон джунглей, беззакониеThe colonizing powers passing beyond smuggling and piracy in their murderous rivalries, engaged in many fullscale wars to seize rich colonies from one another. The law of the jungle prevailed in their colonial relationships and victory went to the strongest. (W. Foster, ‘Outline Political History of the Americas’, book I, ch. VII) — В своем ожесточенном соперничестве колониальные державы не ограничивались контрабандой и пиратством: они часто вели настоящие войны, стремясь отнять друг у друга богатые колонии. В их взаимоотношениях господствовал закон джунглей - колонии, доставались сильнейшему.
