25 up to the mark
1) на должной высоте, на высоте положенияWhen he was asked why a particular piece had vanished he very plausibly explained that he hadn't thought it quite up to the mark and had exchanged it for one of much finer quality. (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Razor's Edge’, ch. I) — Когда Эллиота спрашивали, почему исчезла та или иная вещь, он вполне правдоподобно объяснял, что нашел ее недостаточно хорошей и обменял на вещь действительно превосходную.
So we are beginning with something of a lost cause. I think we can pull it off if we keep right up to the mark. (J. Aldridge, ‘The Diplomat’, ch. I) — Так что нам придется начинать все сызнова. Но ничего, я думаю, мы справимся, если постараемся быть на высоте положения.
You kept me up to the mark. I shouldn't have gone on painting if you hadn't kept telling me how bad it was. (L. P. Hartley, ‘The Hireling’, ch. XVIII) — Мне удалось сохранить должную форму только благодаря вам. я бы бросил живопись, если бы вы столько раз не говорили мне, что моя работа никуда не годится.
2) в хорошем состоянии, в (хорошей) форме; в добром здравииMrs. Littlewood: "You're not looking quite up to the mark to-day, Colonel." (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Unknown’, act 2) — Миссис Литлвуд: "Сегодня у вас не совсем здоровый вид, полковник."
She's been poorly lately-not up to the mark at all. (A. J. Cronin, ‘The Citadel’, book IV, ch. 14) — Она очень плохо себя чувствует в последнее время, совсем неважно.
‘I've been seriously ill...’ ‘I saw you weren't up to the mark, Mr. Eliot,’ he said. (C. P. Snow, ‘Time of Hope’, ch. XXXIX) — - я был серьезно болен... - я видел, что с вами творится что-то неладное, мистер Элиот, - заметил Перси.

26 go beyond the mark
(go beyond the mark (тж. overshoot или overstep the mark))выйти за пределы, преступить границы; зайти слишком далеко; ≈ перегнуть палку, хватить через крайEdgar: "...I'd sooner resign my position on the Board than go on starving women on this way..." Wanklin: "You're rather overshooting the mark." (J. Galsworthy, ‘Strife’, act III) — Эдгар: "...я скорее откажусь быть членом правления, чем буду так морить голодом женщин..." Уэклин: "Вы сильно преувеличиваете."
Now he appeared like a person who fears that he has in some way overstepped the mark, has involuntarily wounded another's feelings... (R. Warner, ‘The Professor’, ch. X) — Он производил впечатление человека, который опасается, что он несколько переборщил и неумышленно обидел кого-то...
...in conquering them from Spain our western expansion had, so to speak, overshot its mark. (W. Lippmann, ‘Isolation and Alliances’, ch. I) —...когда мы отвоевали Филиппины у Испании, мы в нашей экспансии на запад хватили, так сказать, через край.
