рваться в бой, жаждать Explanation: Андрей, вот нашла эту идиому: Posted by Masakim on September 27, 2002 at In Reply to: Re: Found phrase -- leaning forward posted by masakim on September 26, 2002 : : LEANING FORWARD - " 'Leaning forward' is one of Donald Rumsfeld's favorite expressions.

Быть в состоянии боевой готовности Explanation: В первом фрагменте (с шерифом) я бы перевела как "Просчитывать ситуацию на шаг вперёд". А во втором - "Быть в состоянии боевой готовности". Третий вариант перевода данной идиомы (не очень подходящий к приведённым контекстам), на мой взгляд, такой "Хочешь жить в мире, готовься к войне". Но это не "оставаться в седле". |
