125 a bird of paradise
If you tell me to be perfect as my Father in heaven is perfect, I can only say that I wish I could. That would be more polite than telling you to go to the Zoo and advise the monkeys to become men and the cockatoos to become birds of paradise. (B. Shaw, ‘Platform and Pulpit’, ‘This Danger of War’) — Вы советуете мне стать воплощением совершенства, подобно отцу небесному, - я вам на это отвечу одно: при всем желании не могу. Будь я менее вежлив, я бы ответил вам: идите в зоопарк и пожелайте обезьяне стать человеком или попугаю какаду - райской птицей.
...she was a blaze of scarlet and emerald green, like a great bird of paradise in the room. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Faraway’, ch. I) —...сочетание алого цвета с изумрудным делало ее похожей на большую райскую птицу.

126 play it cool
разг.быть или выглядеть бесстрастным, не заинтересованным в чём-л., относиться (или делать вид, что относишься) спокойно к чему-л., не проявлять эмоцийBut now I see that - it's probably better for all concerned to play it cool and regard it as a storm in a teacup. (I. Murdoch, ‘The Black Prince’, part II) — Но сейчас я понимаю, что, видимо, для нас всех лучше относиться спокойно к происходящему и считать, что это буря в стакане воды.
Carol: "...Can you hear what those women are saying about me?" Val: "Play it cool..." Carol: "I don't like playing it cool." (T. Williams, ‘Orpheus Defending’, act 1, sc. 1) — Кэрол: "...Разве вы не знаете, что говорят обо мне эти женщины?" Вэл: "Ну и пусть говорят!" Кэрол: "Как это пусть?"
‘You call me Mickey!’ ‘If you say so,’ I said to him playing it cool... (C. MacInness, ‘Absolute Beginners’, ch. 1) — - Называйте меня Мики! - Хорошо, если вы этого хотите, - ответил я бесстрастно...
Where that matter is concerned, I should advise you to play it cool if you wish to make any progress in the negotiations, for several of the delegates are known to be strongly opposed to the idea. (ECI) — Не советую вам выказывать чрезмерную заинтересованность в этом вопросе, если вы хотите добиться успеха в переговорах. Известно, что несколько делегатов будут решительно возражать против вашего предложения.
