| находчиво ответить | riposte |
| находчивый ответ | riposte (There is a well-known quotation — variously attributed to American Founding Father Thomas Jefferson, film producer Samuel Goldwyn and golfer Gary Player — along the lines of: “The harder I work the luckier I get.” Although often seen simply as a riposte to those that insist that some people succeed by “getting the breaks”, it is actually sound common sense.) |
