2 mins confidence: 
tighten the reins Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-17 17:46:00 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- tighten -- это если он покрепче начинает править pull on (у Дэвида) -- думаю, это как раз и есть \"натянуть\", чтобы остановить лошадей -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-17 17:47:07 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Хотя pull on как-то резче, чуть ли не \"дернуть на себя\", чтобы резко встали. Не знаю, нужно нейтивов слушать :) |
