61 do to death
утрировать, пересолить, переборщить; ≈ осточертеть, приестьсяOne of the most tiresome things in prison was the catch-phrases they would pick up and work to death, like "See you later, alligator". (E. Flynn, ‘The Alderson Story’, ch. XXVII) — И еще одно раздражало в Олдерсоне: дурацкие тюремные фразы, которые заключенные подхватывали друг у друга и повторяли на каждом шагу, такие, например, как "до встречи, аллигатор!"
This melody was mercilessly done to death by countless performers. — Эта мелодия уже приелась, так как ее исполняли бесконечное число раз.

66 from
from,❢ When from is used as a straightforward preposition in English it is translated by de in French: from Rome = de Rome ; from the sea = de la mer ; from Lisa = de Lisa. Remember that de + le always becomes du: from the office = du bureau, and de + les always becomes des: from the United States = des États-Unis. from is often used after verbs in English ( suffer from, benefit from, protect from etc). For translations, consult the appropriate verb entry (suffer, benefit, protect etc). from is used after certain nouns and adjectives in English ( shelter from, exemption from, free from, safe from etc). For translations, consult the appropriate noun or adjective entry (shelter, exemption, free, safe etc).
