3 He/she/they would, wouldn't he/she/they?
Хорошо известное выражение приобрело иной подтекст в 1963 г. во время суда над Стефаном Уордом, которого обвинили в сутенёрстве. Одна свидетельница представила суду список имён мужчин, с которыми у неё были определённые связи. В этом списке значилось и имя лорда Астора. На вопрос суда: 'Do you know that Lord Astor has made a statement to the police saying that your allegations are absolutely untrue?' (Вам известно, что лорд Астор заявил в полиции, что Ваши обвинения — абсолютная ложь?), она ответила: 'He would, wouldn't he?' (С него станется, как же!). Публика была в диком восторге - крайне редко можно было услышать в суде живую разговорную речь, а предположение, что такой человек, как лорд, будет лгать, было и вовсе неслыханным. С тех пор эта фраза используется, чтобы выразить скептическое, недоверчивое отношение к чему-либо.'The manufacturers say that they are increasing prices solely to keep up with inflation, not to increase their profits.' 'Well, they would, wouldn't they?' — «Производители утверждают, что они поднимают цены, только чтобы поспевать за ростом инфляции, а не для того, чтобы увеличивать свои прибыли». «Да неужели!»
