  • 81 come off the high horse

    разг.

    ‘He could do better,’ said Grandma candidly. ‘Indeed?’ said Scarlett haughtily. ‘Come off your high horse,’ said the old lady tartly, ‘I shan't attack your precious sister...’ (M. Mitchell, ‘Gone with the Wind’, ch. XL) — - Уилл мог жениться удачнее, - откровенно сказала бабушка Фонтейн. - Только вы так думаете, - высокомерно заметила Скарлетт. - Нечего тебе задаваться, - резко сказала старая дама. - я не собираюсь нападать на твою драгоценную сестру...

    Why doncha [= don't you] come down off your high horse, Kennie? Got your eye on that pannikin boss's job... (D. Hewett, ‘Bobbin Up’, ch. 4) — И чего ты все воображаешь, Кен? Небось, хочешь получить местечко получше, тоже стать начальником...

    Dick laughed. ‘Get off your high horse,’ he said. ‘Terrible touchy all you girls are this lovely mornin'.’ (D. Hewett, ‘Bobbin Up’, ch. 14) — - Полегче, полегче, - засмеялся Дик. - И что это сегодня вы все в бутылку лезете?

    Sampson: "...I will bite my thumb at them, which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it." (W. Shakespeare, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, act I, sc. I) — Самсон: "...Я им кукиш покажу. Такого оскорбления они не стерпят." (перевод Т. Щепкиной-Куперник)

    ‘Yeh, get off with you!’ said Dyke viciously, lifting an arm to push Johnny away with a blow in the chest; but he saw sparks in Johnny's eyes, and his hand fell to his side. ‘That's better,’ said Johnny. ‘I let no man bite his thumb at me, sir. I'll carry coals for no-one.’ (S. O'Casey, ‘Pictures in the Hallway’, ‘Alice Where Art Thou?’) — - Да ну тебя совсем! - злобно сказал Дайк и занес было руку, чтобы оттолкнуть Джонни ударом в грудь, но, увидев, как сверкают у Джонни глаза, опустил руку. - Вот так-то лучше, - сказал Джонни. - Я никому не позволю меня задирать, сэр. Ни от кого не стерплю оскорблений.

  • 83 mind one's P's and Q's

    соблюдать осторожность, быть осторожным (в словах, поступках)

    When people get it into their beads that they are being specially favoured by the Almighty, they had better as a general rule mind their P's and Q's... (S. Butler, ‘The Way of All Flesh’, ch. LXXI) — Когда люди забирают себе в голову, что находятся под особым покровительством Всевышнего, то обычно они забывают правило "на бога надейся, а сам не плошай"...

    ...even the cleverest must mind their P's and Q's with such a lady. (A. Bennett, ‘Hilda Lessways’, book I, ch. VI) —...даже самые большие умники должны быть начеку с этой дамой.

    There's no reason why you shouldn't make a good livin' here. Say a round three to four hundred for yourself, if you work hard and watch your P's and Q's. (A. J. Cronin, ‘The Citadel’, book II, ch. II) — А почему бы вам не зарабатывать хорошо здесь? Скажем, вам будет оставаться три-четыре сотни, если будете усердно работать и соблюдать при этом должную осторожность.
