| this is not a fly by night company это не фуфло Explanation: Или что-нибудь в таком роде - халтура, дрянь, дешёвка... The phrase fly by night is a derisive term in the English language for businesses that appear and disappear rapidly, or that give an impression of transience. It has also been applied to individual traveling businessmen and tradesmen. The phrase implies that the quality of work done or goods sold is shoddy enough that the person responsible must leave town under cover of darkness to evade angry customers, or sometimes legal authorities. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_by_night -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-11-03 15:52:45 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Доброе слово и кошке приятно. |
