| careful clutter | загруженный (Это оксиморон по сути русского языка. Имеется ввиду что (к примеру стол) вроде как завален всем подряд, и загружен, но все в порядке. mazurov) |
| if you can't be good, be careful | если не можешь поступать правильно, будь осторожен. (The saying was first published in this form in 1903, when Arthur M. Binstead said in his Pitcher in Paradise, "Always bear in mind what the country mother said to her daughter who was coming up to town to be apprenticed to the Bond Street millinery, ‘For heaven's sake be good; but if you can't be good, be careful'." However, the meaning behind the expression is a lot older than that. It comes from the 11th century Latin proverb Si non caste, tamen caute, which translates as "if not chastely, nevertheless cautiously." There are many variations on this saying, several along the lines of "Be good. And if you can't be good, be careful. And if you can't be careful, name it after me." Given those additions, you have a hierarchy of behavior to work with! konstanzhoglo) |
| lack of careful organization | отсутствие продуманной организации материала (Alex_Odeychuk) |
| When a British tourist descended from the train, a Cook representative stood by to lead him to a hotel ... Breakfast on a terrace with a view, a morning stroll round the town, a boat trip at midday, and in the evening a careful selection of indiscretions: this was the typical well-Cooked way. | Когда английский турист сходил с поезда, его встречал представитель агентства Кука и сопровождал в гостиницу... Завтрак на террасе с видом на город, утренняя экскурсия по достопримечательностям, прогулка на яхте днём и тщательно подготовленный набор развлечений вечером — такова была типичная программа "конторы Кука, где изгнана скука". (International Herald Tribune, 1975) |
