- ● Creature comforts
- ● Mind over matter
| ● Bring home the bacon – прокормить се-
мью; добиться успеха, победить. Meaning: to support a family by working; to earn a living; to earn or win something of value; to succeed. Both Richard and Stephanie got jobs to bring home the bacon for their children. Origin: There are two theories about where this expression came from. One was from the contest at early American country fairs of chasing after a greased pig. If you caught it, you could take it home as your prize. Another possibility is that it came from a practice in the early 1300s. A baron willed that if any married person in Dunmow, England, swore at the church door that they had not had a single quar- rel for a whole year and a day, they would get free side bacon to take home. ● Creature comforts – житейские / малень- кие радости. Meaning: material things like good food and ac- commodation which make life pleasant. I hate camping. I can’t do without my creature comforts. Origin: It has been a commonplace since the sev- enteenth century. In “Nicholas Nickleby”, Charles Dickens played on the meaning of creature, that is alcoholic spirits, to pun that Mr. Squeers, the sadis- tic schoolmaster, had been seeking forgetfulness in creature comforts, which turned out to be brandy and water. ● Mind over matter – сила воли. Meaning: the power of your mind is stronger than the body. Giving up smoking is just a question of mind over matter. Origin: Virgil, a Roman poet who was born in 70 BC, used this expression in his famous poem, “The Aeneid”. Mind means brain, thoughts, and willpower. Matter means a physical object, and it can also mean trouble or difficulty. Notice also that mind and matter both begin with m, and alliteration helps make a saying more popular (Шитова, 2011, с.20, 32, 79) [3]. В современном английском языке больше используется переносное значение слов, чем их реальное значение. Большинство слов, составля- ющих идиомы, имеют именно переносное зна- чение. Многообразие идиоматических единиц как по структуре, так и по оттенкам значения и выразительности является основным аспек- том, обеспечивающим богатство возможностей их стилистического употребления. Идиомы ис- пользуются практически во всех стилях лите- ратурного языка. Но наиболее широкое поле использования этих единиц – это, конечно, ху- дожественный стиль. К примеру, выражающие любовь, ненависть, сарказм, насмешку, смех, грусть и другие идиоматические единицы, в ко- торых преобладают оттенки значения, довольно распространенные в художественной литерату- ре.
