1 beat the drum
трубить (о чём-л.), шумно рекламировать, раздувать (что-л.); ≈ звонить во все колоколаIt has been noticed that when a newspaper of a certain type lights on an incident which enables it at once to exhibit virtue and beat the drum of its own policy, it will exploit that incident... without regard to the susceptibility of individuals. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Flowering Wilderness’, ch. XXII) — Известно, что если газета определённого толка освещает событие, которое дает ей возможность продемонстрировать собственную добродетель и шумно разрекламировать свою политику, то она не преминет изложить это событие... не считаясь с чувствами отдельных лиц.
We have innumerable French, Italian, Chinese restaurants - but how many American? Once you're established, it won't matter if you're known to be American. But if you start by beating that particular drum, you never will be established. (J. B. Priestley, ‘London End’, ch. 7) — У нас множество всяких ресторанов - французских, итальянских, китайских, а есть ли у нас американские? Когда ваш ресторан имеет устоявшуюся репутацию, не имеет значения, что вы американец. Но если вы начнете с того, что на всех перекрестках будете кричать о своей национальности, то ни о какой репутации и не мечтайте.
