Δεν θα φορέσουμε πλερέζες, δεν θα βάλουμε πλερέζες. Αυτόν τον ιδιωματισμό σκέφτηκα όταν διάβασα την παρακάτω είδηση:


EBU confirms rumors of Greek expulsion from Eurovision competition

The rumors regarding the possible expulsion of Greece from the next Eurovision competition in spring have been confirmed, as To Vima contacted and received confirmation from EBU.

A report in Ta Nea initiatlly suggested that Greece may be expelled from the next Eurovision contest in spring, as the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) appears to have issues with NERIT. EBU’s Communications Coordinator for the Eurovision Family of Events Jarmo Siim, was contacted by Ta Nea over the matter and commented that he was unaware of such rumors.

According to the rumors, EBU objects to NERIT’s application, in response to the recent high-profile resignations from the newly-established public broadcaster in Greece. To Vima was told by the EBU that only EBU members may participate in the song competition and since NERIT is not an EBU member, Greece will not be participating in the next Eurovision.

With the deadline for participation in the next Eurovision in Austria expiring today, Monday the 15th of September, it seems highly unlikely that Greece will end up participating in the spring 2015 competition.

We won't paint it black. The screen, that is.


Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone

W. H. Auden

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.


He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.

The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

Mugs Bunny a.k.a. Bugs Mugsy: "It won't be curtains for us, Rocky." :D


Bugs Bunny with Edward G. Robinson & Peter Lorre in Racketeer Rabbit. Ολόκληρο εκεί.

curtains slang:
a. The end.
b. Absolute ruin: "If the employee doesn't shape up, it's curtains" (Business Week).
c. Death.

1. death or ruin; the end: if the enemy see us it will be curtains for us.

Όπως καταλαβαίνετε, πασχίζω να διατηρήσω την εικόνα με τις πλερέζες. :-)
 
Να πω ένα απλό:

We won't be shedding any tears.

Ένα ακόμη απλό και συνηθισμένο είναι το "We won't cry about it".

Αλλά μια απόδοση που διασώζει σχετικά ικανοποιητικά το περιεχόμενο της αρχικής φράσης ίσως είναι το "We won't go into mourning".
