21 sell smb. down the river
1) амер.; уст. продать на юг ( негров-рабов)Now, here, it seems to me, you're running an awful risk. You can't hope to carry it out. If you're taken, it will be worse with you than ever; they'll only abuse you... and sell you down river. (H. Beecher Stowe, ‘Uncle Tom's Cabin’, ch. XI) — Но мне кажется, ты затеял очень опасное дело. Ты не можешь надеяться, что твой план удастся. Если тебя поймают, тебе будет хуже, чем было. Тебя накажут... и продадут на юг.
Most of the slave gangs were gathered together by buying slaves from "respectable" planters, who did not hesitate to sell their workers "down the river", when their financial interests were furthered thereby. (W. Foster, ‘The Negro People in American History’, ch. 14) — Невольничьи партии обычно составлялись из рабов, купленных у "почтенных" плантаторов, которые не гнушались сбывать своих работников "вниз по реке", если это отвечало их финансовым интересам.
2) выдать, предать кого-л. [первонач. амер.]She can sell him down the river any day she likes. (C. MacInnes, ‘City of Spades’, part II, ch. IV) — Она может выдать его, если захочет.
