Subject: You can get used to making do А что может означать:"You can get used to making do" |
Общий вар.: Вы можете привыкнуть мысли о том, что "и так сойдет". make do make do to manage with the things that you have, even though this is not really enough: I hardly had any food in the house so I just had to make do. make do with/without I usually make do with a cup of coffee for breakfast. For many people, make do and mend (=when someone manages with the things they have and does not buy anything new) was a harsh reality. |
Вариант: Можно привыкнуть к аскетизму/обходиться (довольствоваться) малым. |

Приколитесь, интересное употребление артикля: It was, he said, "a knowing how to win". It came with a package of attributes, he added, including "confidence, poise, an ability to project". (a knowing) |

По теме: make-do как noun Mr Jamieson asked me for my impressions, seeing the old school again. How had it changed? Portakabins aside, there was much less of a sense of make-do. You could see the pupils taking pleasure in the quality of the music equipment or the new gym. |

Прикольное еще употребление "cure-all" Talking to the few remaining residents of the "V-Streets" and its surroundings, I'm reminded how in these designated areas of deprivation, one sometimes felt that new housing had become a cure-all. The prevailing view was often that if an estate were knocked down an area could start again. As if everything – all the social ills – could be sorted with a re-build. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2009/nov/22/liverpool-deprivation-broken-britain |
