5 the narrow path
стезя добродетели [этим. библ. Matthew VII, 14]What sort of influence would enter his life, who would be at hand to aid and council and guide him in the straight and narrow path, as they had done? (Th. Dreiser, ‘An American Tragedy’, book I, ch. LV) — С какими людьми он столкнется в жизни, кто будет рядом, чтобы помочь ему, кто даст добрый совет, направит по стезе добродетели, как делали родители?
In his younger gallivantings about places of ill repute, and his subsequent occasional variations from the straight and narrow path, he had learned much of the curious resources of immorality. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Financier’, ch. XX) — В дни юности он таскался по всевозможным злачным местам, да и впоследствии, когда был женат, случалось, сворачивал с пути истинного, так что ему были хорошо известны все ухищрения и лазейки, которыми пользуется порок.
Women are subject to two defects, curiosity and vanity. They lead these fair creatures to abandon the narrow path of virtue more often than passion. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Then and Now’, ch. XVIII) — Женщинам свойственны два недостатка: любопытство и тщеславие. Эти недостатки чаще, чем страсть, заставляют представительниц прекрасного пола свернуть со стези добродетели.
You are, and always will be, a no good heel. It suits you, and you're dead out of character when you try to tread the straight and narrow path. (A. J. Cronin, ‘A Pocketful of Rye’, ch. XVII) — Ты субъект непутевый и всегда таким будешь. Это тебя устраивает. И уж очень неестественно выглядит, когда ты пытаешься изобразить из себя добродетельного человека.
