| разговаривать, не понимая друг друга | talk at cross purposes ("Excuse me, Dr. Armstrong, I think we are a little at cross-purposes," said my friend, with dignity. • A flush of vexation passed over her expressive face. "We have been talking at cross purposes," said she. (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) • "There's always another woman," she said quietly. "At some time or other. It's not necessarily fatal. We're talking at cross purposes, aren't we? We are not even talking about the same thing, perhaps." (Raymond Chandler) ART Vancouver) |
