  • 39 hide one's light under a bushel

    зарывать свой талант в землю; скрывать свой ум, свои таланты, быть излишне скромным [этим. библ. Matthews V, 15]

    Personality, of course, you must have, though without real eccentricity; but it must not be personality which hid its light under a bushel. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Maid in Waiting’, ch. VII) — К этому, конечно, требовалась и некоторая оригинальность, без излишних, однако, чудачеств, и оригинальность эта должна быть выражена весьма ярко.

    ...he liked also being seen and being congratulated on growing up such a fine-looking and fortunate young fellow, for he was not the youth to hide his light under a bushel. (S. Butler, ‘The Way of All Flesh’, ch. II) —...ему нравилось также, когда односельчане подходили к нему и поздравляли с тем, что он стал таким красивым и преуспевающим. Ибо он не принадлежал к тем молодым людям, которые страдают излишней скромностью.

    Men who can thus turn culture into cash are seldom permitted to hide their light under a bushel in capitalist society. (U. Sinclair, ‘The Goose-Step’, ch. LX) — В капиталистическом обществе людям, которые так ловко умеют превращать культуру в наличные, редко позволяют зарывать свой талант в землю.

И люди к нему всегда хорошо относятся.

    When he close to exept himself, there were few men or women he failed to please; as the saying went, he had a way with him. (A. J. Cronin, ‘The Northern Light’, part II, ch. 1) — При желании Най умел нравиться, и стоило ему захотеть, лишь немногие - будь то мужчина или женщина - способны были противостоять его обаянию: он, что называется, умел влезть в душу.
