101 добро бы
• ДОБРО БЫ coll[subord Conj, condit; often foll. by a clause introduced by Conj " а то" or "но"]=====⇒ (usu. used to introduce a clause expressing an unreal or hardly realizable condition) (sth.) would be acceptable, understandable, justifiable etc if:- if only;- if at least;- it would be all right <a different matter, something else, very well, one thing> if;- [in limited contexts] one could understand it if.♦ "Есть некоторый коммунистический стиль. Мало кто подходит под эту мерку. Но никто так явно не нарушает этой манеры жить и думать, как вы, Юрий Андреевич... Вы - насмешка над этим миром, его оскороление. Добро бы это было вашею тайной. Но тут есть... люди из Москвы. Нутро ваше им известно досконально" (Пастернак 1). "There exists a certain Communist style, Yurii Andreievich. Few people measure up to it. But no one flouts that way of life and thought as openly as you do.... You are a living mockery of that whole world, a walking insult to it. If at least your past were your own secret - but there are people from Moscow who know you inside out" (1a).♦ [Осип:]...Вишь ты, нужно в каждом городе показать себя. (Дразнит его [Хлестакова].) "Эй, Осип, ступай посмотри комнату, лучшую, да обед спроси самый лучший..." Добро бы было в самом деле что-нибудь путное, а то ведь елистратишка [obs, derog ≈ мелкий чиновник] простой (Гоголь 4). [О.:] He has, you see, to show off in every town! (Mimicking him / Khlestakov].) "I say, Osip, go and book me a room, the best room you can find, and order me the best dinner they have...." It would have been all right if he had really been someone, but he is just a copying clerk! (4c).♦ Хоть околей, хоть издохни в лесу, а в барак без нормы не возвращайся... И добро бы хоть они, бедные, пайку свою съедали, а то ведь нет. Детям сперва надо голодный рот заткнуть (Абрамов 1). It didn't matter if you caved in and dropped down dead [in the forest], but woe betide you if you came back to the barracks without filling your quota....It would have been one thing if the poor creatures could have eaten their own rations, but no-first they had to stop up the hungry mouths of their children (1a).♦ ""Пусть, говорит [ чёрт], ты шёл из гордости, но ведь всё же была и надежда, что уличат Смердякова и сошлют в каторгу... Но вот умер Смердяков, повесился - ну и кто ж тебе там на суде теперь-то одному поверит?.. И добро бы ты, говорит, в добродетель верил: пусть не поверят мне, для принципа иду. Но ведь ты поросёнок, как Федор Павлович, и что тебе добродетель?"" (Достоевский 2). "'Suppose you were to go out of pride,' he [the devil] said, (but still there would also be the hope that Smerdyakov would be convicted and sent to hard labor....But now Smerdyakov is dead, he's hanged himself-so who's going to believe just you alone there in court?... And one could understand it,' he said, 'if you believed in virtue: let them not believe me, I'm going for the sake of principle. But you are a little pig, like Fyodor Pavlovich, and what is virtue to you?'" (2a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > добро бы
