ⓘ Show me the money Cette phrase (""fais-moi voir l'argent") vient du film américain Jerry Maguire (1996), dans lequel Tom Cruise joue le rôle d'un manager sportif. L'un de ses clients, incarné par Cuba Gooding, prononce ces mots à maintes reprises lors de négociations. On utilise cette phrase de façon allusive en anglais américain dans des contextes similaires, comme dans l'exemple suivant: forget about the free CDs and baseball caps, just show me the money ("les casquettes de base-ball et les CDs gratuits ne m'intéressent pas, parlons argent""), ou bien lorsqu'on réclame une somme due: I won the bet, so show me the money ("j'ai gagné le pari, alors donne-moi mon argent"").

✾ Music 'The Well-Tempered Clavier' Bach 'Le Clavier bien tempéré'

ⓘ Didn't he/she do well? Le jeu télévisé britannique The Generation Game fut présenté pendant de nombreuses années par un nommé Bruce Forsyth. Cette expression ("il/elle s'est bien débrouillé(e), vous ne trouvez pas?") était l'une des petites phrases qu'il employait immanquablement au cours de l'émission. Il utilisait cette formule en s'adressant au public lorsqu'un concurrent venait de terminer une épreuve. Aujourd'hui, on emploie cette expression pour féliciter quelqu'un sur un ton légèrement condescendant.

ASSOCIATIONS AND IMAGERY:

Значение существительного money вызывает образ съедаемой пищи и использования каких-либо ресурсов, что проявляется в значении ряда слов и словосочетаний: They didn't get a fair share/slice of cake/pie. Они от этого пирога не получили своей справедливой доли. The fees have swallowed most of my grant. Взносы поглотили большую часть гранта. The rent takes a large bite out of their income. На оплату ренты уходит бо́льшая доля их дохода. This ate into our savings. Это съело существенную часть наших сбережений. The richest nations ate up/devoured the world's resources. Самые богатые страны/нации поглотили мировые ресурсы/запасы. The government said the treasury was bare. Правительство заявило, что казна пуста́. We have to make do with scraps from their table. Нам приходится довольствоваться объедками с их стола

USAGE:

Существительное money, в отличие от соответствующего русского существительного деньги, имеет форму только единственного числа, согласуется с глаголом в форме единственного числа и никогда не употребляется с неопределенным артиклем. Как и остальные неисчисляемые существительные, money сочетается со словами some, any, much, little. В эту группу существительных входят: applause - аплодисменты, cream - сливки, hair - волосы, luggage - вещи/багаж, twilight - сумерки, machinery - механизмы и т. д..
