превратности судьбы [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]Clown: "...But do you remember? ‘Madam, why laugh you at such a barren rascal? an you smile not he's gagged.’ And thus the whirling of time brings in his revenges." (W. Shakespeare, ‘Twelfth Night’, act V, sc. 1) — Шут: "...Вы помните эти слова? "Сударыня, что вы находите смешного в этом безмозглом мерзавце? Если вы сами не улыбаетесь, у него и рот заклепан". Так-то коловращение времени несет с собой возмездие." (перевод М. Лозинского)
But now please observe how "the whirligig of time brings its revenges". (B. Shaw, ‘The Doctor's Dilemma’, ‘Preface on Doctors’) — Пожалуйста, обратите внимание на то, как "превратности судьбы влекут за собой отмщение".
