I'm happy to greet you, dear friends! My name's Stanislav and you're watching a
weekly rubric "Idioms". This time I'm going to teach you how to express your power and
authority in an idiomatic way: So The first expression you may use is "to
carry the can", что в буквальном переводе означает «брать
вину на себя». For instance: He would carry the can, even though he's not
responsible; The next idiom you may use is: "to get your
own way", что в переводе означает «делать то, что тебе хочется».
For instance: She is getting her own way all the time;
And the last idiom for today is: "to leave someone to their own devices", что в переводе
означает «позволить кому либо сделать свой собственный
выбор». For instance: Parents left their children to their own devices.
And that's all for today, guys. I hope you liked our short lesson. Thank you for watching
us. Stay with Englishdom and see you later!
