...«Мне тотчас же пришел в голову опять ещё вопрос: что Софья Семёновна, прежде чем заметит, пожалуй, чего доброго, потеряет деньги...» (Достоевский 3). "...Another question immediately came into my head also: that Miss Marmeladov might well, for all I knew, lose the money before she noticed it..." (3a).

Когда приходил к нему (Манилову) мужик и, почесавши рукою затылок, говорил: «Барин, позволь отлучиться на работу, подать заработать», - «Ступай», - говорил он, куря трубку, и ему даже в голову не приходило, что мужик шёл пьянствовать (Гоголь 3). Whenever a peasant came to him (Ma-nilov) and, scratching the back of his head, said, "Master, give me leave to get an outside job, to pay off my taxes," Manilov invariably answered "Go," and puffed at his pipe, and it never entered his head that the peasant was merely off on a drunken spree (3d)

...Иногда мне приходит на ум, что я что-то напутал в жизни, что не сделал чего-то самого главного, а чего именно - никак не могу вспомнить (Войнович 5)....Sometimes the thought crosses my mind that I've somehow messed up, that I've left the most important thing undone, but for the life of me, I can't remember just what that thing is (5a).

В Лефортове удивительная библиотека: все книги, что конфисковывались у «врагов народа» за полвека, видно, стеклись сюда. По всей стране «чистили» библиотеки, жгли «вредные» книги - здесь же всё сохранилось, как в оазисе. Никому не приходило в голову чистить библиотеку тюрьмы КГБ... (Буковский 1). Lefortovo had a wonderful library - it looked as if all the books confiscated from the enemies of the people over half a century had ended up here. Up and down the country they had "purged" libraries and burned "pernicious" books, while in here, everything was preserved as in an oasis. It had never occurred to anyone to purge the libraries of the KGB prisons... (1a).

Когда хочешь определить, где корни творчества Хемингуэя, на ум не приходит ни английская, ни французская, ни американская литература (Олеша 3). When you wish to determine where the roots of Hemingway's creative work lie, you don't think of English, French, or American literature (3a).

В его голосе звучало такое искреннее убеждение, такая несомненная решимость, что мне невольно пришло на мысль: да, если этот человек не попадёт под суд, то он покажет, где раки зимуют! (Салтыков-Щедрин 2). There was such sincere conviction in his voice, such indomitable resolution in every word he uttered that I couldn't help thinking, "Ah, if this man's lucky enough to escape being put on trial, he'll certainly show them what's what!" (2a).

Хотя мы и представительствовали в искусстве определённые социально-политические тенденции, однако никому из нас, разумеется, и во сне не приходило в голову, что где-то... у него лежит такой мандат: мы ещё в тринадцатом году перегрызли бы горло всякому, кто попытался бы уверить нас в этом... (Лившиц 1). ( context transl) Although we represented definite socio-political tendencies in art, not one of us would have dreamed that he possessed such a mandate. In 1913 we would have throttled anyone who attempted to convince us of this... (1a).
