1 jam tomorrow
Джем завтра. Что-либо приятное и желанное, то, что охотно обещают, но редко дают. Это выражение пришло из книги Through the Looking-Glass («В зазеркалье») Льюиса Кэрролла (1872): The rule is jam tomorrow and jam yesterday — but never jam today. — Правило — джем завтра и джем вчера, но никогда джем сегодня. Довольно часто эта фраза используется по отношению к пустым обещаниям политиков.Better education, a better health service, better housing but always some time in the future. It's always jam tomorrow! — Лучшее образование, лучшее медицинское обслуживание, лучшие дома всегда в будущем. Всегда джем завтра!
