The situation is a political hot potato.
(Ситуация – политический спорный вопрос)
• I have written a novel, but journalism is my bread and butter.
(Я написал роман, но журнализм – мой хлеб насущный)
• I’m not surprised that he’s a gangster as he was always a bad egg.
(Я не удивлён тому, что он гангстер, ведь он всегда был негодяем)
• I’ve finished my exams, and now I’m as cool as a cucumber.
(Я закончил сдавать мои экзамены, и теперь я невозмутим)
• I’ve finished the crossword. It was as easy as pie.
(Я закончил разгадывать кроссворд. Это было проще простого)
• My youngest nephew is always full of beans.
(Мой младший племянник всегда в приподнятом настроении)
• Eat healthily! Remember - an apple a day keeps the doctor away!
(Питайся правильно! Помни - по яблоку в день – и доктор не нужен!)
• You must choose between the car and the overseas holiday. You can't have your cake and eat it too!
(Ты должен выбрать между машиной и поездкой за границу. Ты не можешь усидеть на двух стульях!)
• If you’re not careful about what you say to your friend, you’ll be eating your words.
(Если ты не следишь за тем, что говоришь своему другу, ты будешь забирать свои слова обратно)
• He’s wealthy because he has a finger in every pie - importing, exporting, a local business, online sales...
(Он богат, потому что у него есть затычка в каждой бочке – импорт, экспорт, местный бизнес, онлайн продажи…)
