    Нюрок и тут взбеленилась: «...Неужели ты не видишь, что он давно умеет делать, чтобы за него все делали?.. Он всегда кого-нибудь эксплуатирует - мать, отца, каких-то там приятелей, а прежде всего приятельниц!» Час от часу было не легче. Ирина Викторовна спросила: «Значит, ты меня окунаешь, милая? В действительность?» (Залыгин 1). Niurok lost her temper completely: "...Can't you see he knows how to arrange things so that other people do everything for him?...He's forever exploiting somebody-his mother, his father, his friends, but most of all his girlfriends." It was getting worse all the time. Irina Viktorovna asked, "Giving me a crash course in reality, are you, my dear?" (1a).

А она ждет, второй день ждет» (Толстой 5). "But how could there be a marriage?" exclaimed Pierre at Marya Dmitrievna's last words. "He couldn't marry her-he's already married!" "It gets worse and worse!" cried Marya Dmitrievna. "A fine fellow! He's certainly a scoundrel! And there she sits waiting—she's been expecting him for two days" (5a).

Этот сок им нужен для аэропланов. Аэропланы без этого сока взлететь не могут, могут только ехать по земле, как машины» - «Час от часу не легче», — сказал мой старик (Искандер 3). "What do they want with this poisonous juice?" my old man asked anxiously. "Whom are they planning to poison?" "No," the old black soothed him, "they're not planning to poison anyone, neither men nor beasts. They need the juice for airplanes. Airplanes can't fly without it, they can only run along the ground like trucks." "Things are going from bad to worse," my old man said (3a).

Он всегда кого-нибудь эксплуатирует - мать, отца, каких-то там приятелей, а прежде всего приятельниц!" Час от часу было не легче. Ирина Викторовна спросила: "Значит, ты меня окунаешь, милая? В действительность?" (Залыгин 1). Niurok lost her temper completely: "...Can't you see he knows how to arrange things so that other people do everything for him?...He's forever exploiting somebody-his mother, his father, his friends, but most of all his girlfriends." It was getting worse all the time. Irina Viktorovna asked, "Giving me a crash course in reality, are you, my dear?" (1a).

То-то мерзавец! А она ждёт, второй день ждёт" (Толстой 5). "But how could there be a marriage?" exclaimed Pierre at Marya Dmitrievna's last words. "He couldn't marry her-he's already married!"

"What do they want with this poisonous juice?" my old man asked anxiously. "Whom are they planning to poison?" "No," the old black soothed him, "they're not planning to poison anyone, neither men nor beasts. They need the juice for airplanes. Airplanes can't fly without it, they can only run along the ground like trucks." "Things are going from bad to worse," my old man said (3a).

    n., gen. pl. augna, [Lat. oculus, a dimin. of an obsolete ocus; Gr. οφθαλμός (Boeot. οκταλμός); Sanskr. aksha: the word is common to Sanskrit with the Slavonic, Greek, Roman, and Teutonic idioms: Goth. augo; Germ, auge; A. S. eâge; Engl. eye; Scot. ee; Swed. öga; Dan. öje, etc. Grimm s. v. suggests a relationship to Lat. acies, acutus, etc. The letter n appears in the plur. of the mod. northern languages; the Swedes say ‘ögon,’ oculi, the Danes ‘öjne;’ with the article ‘ögonen’ and ‘öjnene;’ Old Engl. ‘eyne;’ Scot. ‘een’]
    I. an eye. It is used in Icel. in a great many proverbs, e. g. betr sjá augu en auga, ‘two eyes see better than one,’ i. e. it is good to yield to advice: referring to love, unir auga meðan á sér, the eye is pleased whilst it can behold (viz. the object of its affection), Fas. i. 125, cp. Völs. rím. 4. 189; eigi leyna augu, ef ann kona manni, the eyes cannot bide it, if a woman love a man, i. e. they tell their own tale, Ísl. ii. 251. This pretty proverb is an απ. λεγ. l. c. and is now out of use; it is no doubt taken from a poem in a dróttkvætt metre, (old proverbs have alliteration, but neither rhymes nor assonance, rhyming proverbs are of a comparatively late date): medic., eigi er sá heill er í augun verkir, Fbr. 75; sá drepr opt fæti ( slips) er augnanna missir, Bs. i. 742; hætt er einu auganu nema vel fari, he who has only one eye to lose will take care of it (comm.); húsbóndans auga sér bezt, the master’s eye sees best; glögt er gests augat, a guest’s eye is sharp; mörg eru dags augu, the day has many eyes, i. e. what is to be hidden must not be done in broad daylight, Hm. 81; náið er nef augum, the nose is near akin to the eyes (tua res agitur paries quum proximus ardet), Nj. 21; opt verðr slíkt á sæ, kvað selr, var skotinn í auga, this often happens at sea, quoth the seal, when he was shot in the eye, of one who is in a scrape, Fms. viii. 402. In many phrases, at unna ( to love) e-m sem augum í höfði sér, as one’s own eye-balls, Nj. 217; þótti mér slökt it sætasta ljós augna minna, by his death the sweetest light of my eyes was quenched, 187: hvert grætr þú nú Skarphéðinn? eigi er þat segir Skarphéðinn, en hitt er satt at súrnar í augum, the eyes smart from smoke, 200: renna, líta augum, to seek with the eyes, to look upon: it is used in various connections, renna, líta ástaraugum, vánaraugum, vinaraugum, trúaraugum, öfundaraugum, girndarauga, with eyes of love, hope, friendship, faith, envy, desire: mæna a. denotes an upward or praying look; stara, fixed; horfa, attentive; lygna, blundskaka, stupid or slow; blína, glápa, góna, vacant or silly; skima, wandering; hvessa augu, a threatening look; leiða e-n a., to measure one with the eyes; gjóta, or skjóta hornauga, or skjóta a. í skjálg, to throw a side glance of dislike or ill-will; gjóta augum is always in a bad sense; renna, líta mostly in a good sense: gefa e-u auga, oculum adjicere alicui; hafa auga á e-u, to keep an eye on it; segja e-m e-t í augu upp, to one’s face, Orkn. 454; at augum, adverb. with open eyes, Hervar.
