    - Вы, батюшка, в полку без году неделя; нынче здесь, завтра перешли куда в адъютантики... (Л. Толстой, Война и мир) — 'You have been in the regiment next to no time, my lad, you're here today and tomorrow you'll be appointed adjutant somewhere...'

    - Что за рабочий? - спросил Листопад. - В том-то и дело, - сказал главбух, - что если бы старый, кадровый, а то мальчишке семнадцать лет, без году неделю на производстве. (В. Панова, Кружилиха) — 'Who's the workman?' Listopad asked. 'That's the snag,' the accountant went on. 'If he were an old, experienced workman, well and good, but the boy is only seventeen, the number of days he's been in the factory can be counted on one's fingers.'

    - В хлеборобах ты ходишь без году неделю, в помощники тебе дали малолеток зелёных... как бы конфуза не вышло. (А. Мусатов, Стожары) — 'You're a fresh hand at corn growing and they've only given you young fledglings to help you... It will be a pity if it turns out a failure.'
