Случайная английская пословица:


Дуракам закон не писан

A stupid or reckless person observes no rules of behaviour, shows no common sense ~ Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. As the fool thinks, so the bell clinks. Experience keeps a dear school, but fools learn in no other. Some are wise, and some are otherwise # Fools are fools - they observe no rules.

- Конечно, который непонимающий, ну, тот и без грузила пойдёт ловить. Дураку закон не писан. (А. Чехов. Злоумышленник)

"Of course, there are some people who don't know anything and they go fishing without sinkers. There is no rule for a fool."

Кожух поднялся, заиграл железными желваками и, тоненько покалывая крохотными глазками отлива серой стали, сказал:
- Завтра выступать… с рассветом.
И думал: "Не выполнят, сволочи!.."
Все нехотя замолчали, и за этим молчанием стояло: "Дураку закон не писан." (А. Серафимович. Железный поток)

Kozhukh rose to his feet. The muscles of his face worked as he glanced piercingly at his audience.
"We march tomorrow… at dawn," he said.
But behind his decision was the thought: they won't obey, the devils!
They became silent and their silence said: "What can one expert of a fool?"

* - Как можно говорить, чего нет? - Договаривала Анисья, уходя. - А что Никита сказал, так для дураков закон не писан. Мне самой и в голову-то не придёт: день-деньской маешься - до того ли? (И. Гончаров. Обломов)

How can one say what is not?" Anisya finished up as she walked out of the room." "And if Nikita did talk it's simply because a fool may say anything! But I could never have thought of such a thing: why, slaving away all day long I haven't time to think!"

* - Ты пьяница, а пьяницы безумные. Им закон не писан, у них в башке весь свет кувыркается. (Ф. Гладков. Мятежная юнность)

"You're a drunkard, and all drunkards are mad. For them the law doesn't exist, the whole world is topsy-turvy in their heads."
