✾ Book ✾ Film 'You only live twice' Fleming, Gilbert 'On ne vit que deux fois'

ⓘ To live fast, die young and leave a beautiful corpse À l'origine, cette phrase provient du titre d'un film de 1949 mis en scène par Nicholas Ray intitulé Knock on Any Door ("Les Ruelles du malheur"), dont le personnage principal, un marginal joué par John Derek, voulait "vivre vite, mourir jeune et laisser un beau cadavre". Aujourd'hui cette formule est davantage associée aux personnages de rebelles qu'incarnaient James Dean et d'autres jeunes acteurs des années 50 et 60, et à la vie trépidante qu'ils menaient dans la réalité. Cette formule est généralement utilisée dans sa version tronquée ( live fast and die young) pour faire référence à un style de vie débridé. On dira par exemple I don't like these modern pop stars and their live fast, die young attitude ("je n'aime pas les vedettes de la musique pop d'aujourd'hui qui ne pensent qu'à s'amuser sans jamais penser aux conséquences").

13 fly off at a tangent

( fly (или go) off at (или on) a tangent)

неожиданно отклоняться от темы разговора [выражение fly off at a tangent создано Т. Смоллеттом; см. цитату]

About twelve years ago, he began a giro or circuit, which he thus performed... After having twelve times described this circle, he lately flew off at a tangent to visit some trees at his country-house in England, which he had planted above twenty years ago. (T. Smollett, ‘The Expedition of Humphrey Clinker’, ‘To Dr. Lewis, Scarborough, July 4’) — Двенадцать лет назад Х. отправился путешествовать по "кольцу", или "кругу"... Описав этот круг двенадцать раз, он в конце концов отклонился от своего маршрута и поехал в Англию полюбоваться на деревья, которые посадил лет двадцать назад возле своего загородного дома.

His thoughts went off at a tangent to a certain issue troubling his legal conscience. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Caravan’, ‘The First and The Last’) — Мысли его вдруг перескочили на одно дело, которое мучило его профессиональную совесть юриста.

I... asked you how the children were but we got off on a tangent. (J. O'Hara, ‘A Rage to Live’, book I, ch. III) — Я: ". спросил вас, как чувствуют себя дети, но мы отклонились от этой темы."

ⓘ A land fit for heroes Cette expression ("un pays digne de ses héros") trouve son origine dans un discours que le Premier ministre britannique Lloyd George prononça en 1918. Il y expliquait la façon dont il envisageait l'avenir de son pays au sortir de la Première Guerre mondiale, et déclarait qu'il incombait au gouvernement de faire de la Grande-Bretagne a fit country for heroes to live in ("un pays qui ferait honneur à ses héros"). On utilise aujourd'hui cette formule dans sa version modifiée et souvent sur le mode ironique en parlant de la façon dont un pays traite ses soldats. On dira par exemple if the returning veterans hoped for a land fit for heroes, they were to be sadly disappointed ("si, une fois de retour au pays, les anciens combattants s'étaient imaginé trouver un pays digne de héros, ils allaient être amèrement déçus").
