1 conscience money
1) сумма подоходного налога, анонимно присылаемая на имя канцлера казначейства ( министра финансов) налогоплательщиком, первоначально уклонившимся от её уплатыDid you ever wonder who are those people who pay "conscience money" to the Chancellor of the Exchequer? While such payments are reported names are never revealed. (‘Daily Worker’) — Интересовались вы когда-нибудь, кто же эти люди, анонимно посылающие канцлеру казначейства подоходный налог, от уплаты которого они первоначально уклонились? О подобных случаях возращения денег газеты сообщают, но имена никогда не называются.
2) деньги, выплачиваемые (для успокоения совести) на благотворительные нуждыSir Robert Chiltern: "I don't say that I suffered any remorse... But I have paid conscience money many times. I had a wild hope that I might disarm destiny. The sum Baron Arnheim gave me I have distributed twice over in public charities since then." (O. Wilde, ‘An Ideal Husband’, act II) — Сэр Роберт Чилтерн: "Не скажу, чтобы я когда-нибудь испытывал угрызения совести... Но я много раз пытался откупиться и умилостивить судьбу. За эти годы я пожертвовал на благотворительные цели вдвое больше, чем получил от барона Арнгейма."
Undershaft: "...I am not one of those men who keep their morals and their business in watertight compartments. All the spare money my trade rivals spend on hospitals, cathedrals and other receptacles for conscience money, I devote to experiments and researches in improved methods of destroying life and property." (B. Shaw, ‘Major Barbara’, act I) — Андершафт: "...я не из тех людей, у которых мораль и профессия совершенно изолированы друг от друга. Все лишние деньги, которые мои конкуренты для успокоения совести жертвуют на больницы, соборы и прочее, я трачу на опыты и исследования, совершенствующие методы уничтожения жизни и собственности."
