20 wolf, wolves
Волк, волки. Эти животные упоминаются во многих английских выражениях. To keep the wolf from the door — суметь прокормить:He has found a temporary job, which pays quite well, so he should be able to keep the wolf from the door for a few more months. — Он нашёл временную работу, которая оплачивается довольно хорошо, поэтому он сможет кормить свою семью в течение ещё нескольких месяцев.
В этом случае бедность и несчастье сравниваются с голодным зверем, который лежит перед дверью в надежде проникнуть в дом. To throw someone to the wolves значит не суметь защитить кого-либо от жестокого обращения:Don't expect your colleagues to support you if the bosses take against you — they are interested only in themselves and will be only too ready to throw you to the wolves. — Не жди поддержки от своих коллег, если боссы будут против тебя — коллеги заняты только собой и будут только рады оставить тебя на съедение волкам.
A lone wolf (волк-одиночка) — человек, который идёт своим путём без поддержки других людей. The wolf whistle (свист волка) — мужской знак восхищения по отношению к женщине. To cry wolf — поднимать ложную тревогу, это выражение имеет в виду басню о пастухе, который развлекался тем, что обманывал людей, крича: «Волк! Волк!». A wolf in sheep's clothing — это волк в овечьей шкуре: «Берегитесь лжепророков, которые приходят к вам в овечьей шкуре, а внутри суть волки хищные» (От Матфея 7:15).
