1 один как перст
all alone in the world; all by oneself; having not a soul in the worldОдна как перст во всём мире, волею судьбы старая дева, не имевшая никогда ни мужа, ни ребёнка, она никогда не знала, да и сейчас, в старости, не знает, что значит жить для себя... (Ю. Герман, Дорогой мой человек) — She hasn't a soul in the world. It so happened that she is a spinster, she never had a husband or a child, she's never known and she does not know even now, in her old age, what it means to live for one's own self...
И до сих пор [Полипов] живёт холостяком, неуютной, неприкаянной жизнью, один как перст в огромном и гулком отцовском доме. (А. Иванов, Вечный зов) — And up to now he has been living an unsettled, comfortless life of a bachelor, all by himself in the enormous and hollow house of his father.
