выстоять, выдержать, преодолеть трудности, испытания [этим. мор. выдержать шторм (о корабле)]Still England has been some weeks in the dismal strait of having no pilot... to weather the storm; and the marvellous part of the matter is that England has not appeared to care very much about it... (Ch. Dickens, ‘Bleak House’, ch. XL) — И все же в течение нескольких недель Англия была в тяжелом положении; в стране не было кормчего... который мог бы вести ее через бури; и самое удивительное заключалось в том, что Англию это мало трогало...
How beautiful is the love that has weathered the storms of life! (J. K. Jerome, ‘Passing of the Third Floor Back’) — Как прекрасна любовь, преодолевшая все жизненные бури!
His mind was not easy. He felt as though thunder was piling up somewhere and was not quite sure whether he was fated to feel or to ride the storm. (D. L. Sayers, ‘Murder Must Advertise’, ch. XVIII) — Мистер Бридон испытывал беспокойство. Ему казалось, что где-то громыхал гром, и он не был уверен, что выдержит бурю.
