It means, I suppose, you've got to go on just as you are, missing opportunities that might never come again, simply because we can't raise this money and keep the wolf from the door till the dividends come in. (R. Greenwood, ‘Mr. Bunting’, ch. XVIII) — Это значит, что вы должны по-прежнему заниматься своим делом, упустив случай, какого вам, быть может, никогда уже не представится. И только из-за того, что вам неоткуда взять денег и перебиться, пока не начнут поступать дивиденды.
