1 как волка ни корми, он всё в лес глядит
как (сколько) волка ни корми, <а> он всё в лес глядит (смотрит)посл.no matter how long you feed a wolf he'll always have his eye on the forest; feed the wolf as much as you like, but he's always hankering after the forest; cf. one cannot make the leopard change his spots; what is bred in the bone never gets out of the fleshЧто ни говорите... сердца, чувства - в этих людях не ищите! Как волка ни корми, он всё в лес смотрит... (И. Тургенев, Записки охотника) — Whatever you say - it's no good to look for feeling, for heart, in these people! You may feed the wolf as you will; he has always a hankering for the woods.
В Наталье всегда поражала нас её привязанность к Суходолу. Молочная сестра нашего отца, выросшая с ним в одном доме, целых восемь лет прожила она у нас в Луневе, прожила как родная... Но недаром говорится, что, как волка ни корми, он всё в лес смотрит: выходив, вырастив нас, снова воротилась она в Суходол. (И. Бунин, Суходол) — What had always amazed us about Natalia, was her attachment to Sukhodol. She was the daughter of Father's wet-nurse and was brought up in the house with him. She lived with us at Lunevo for eight years; we treated her as one of the family... But evidently, what is bred in the bone never gets out of the flesh: when she had raised us to adolescence she went back to Sukhodol once more.
