  • 1 на кой чёрт

    на кой (какой) чёрт (бес, дьявол, шут, леший, пёс, ляд, хрен, прах)
    прост.
    what the < bloody> hell for?; what (why) the devil (the deuce, the blazes)!

    Смирнов. Я приехал не к приказчику, а к вам! На кой леший, извините за выражение, сдался мне ваш приказчик! (А. Чехов, Медведь)Smirnov. I didn't come to your steward, but to you! What the devil, excuse my saying so, have I to do with your steward!

    - Я тебя щадил до сих пор, но я тебе могу открыть глаза. Ты неудачник. На кой чёрт я связался с тобой? (Д. Гранин, Иду на грозу) — 'I've spared you up to now, but I can open your eyes for you. You're a failure. Why the hell I ever had anything to do with you, I don't know.'

    На кой шут ему сдался диплом, у него уже не хватало ни сил, ни терпения, и перед самым финалом он, наверное, бросил бы всё, если б не Ада. (Д. Гранин, Иду на грозу) — What bloody use was a degree anyway? Both his energy and his patience were exhausted and he might easily have chucked everything just before his finals had not Ada intervened.

    - Сам подумай, если она жива и двенадцать лет ни письма от неё, ни звука, то что это может означать? Понял? А если понял, то на кой, извини меня, хрен ты к ней явишься? Укорять будешь или слёзы лить? (А. Чаковский, Свет далёкой звезды) — 'Use your imagination: if she has been alive all these twelve years and has never written you a line, what can it mean? See? If you do see, then what the bloody hell do you want to go to her for? To have it out with her or shed tears?'
