Steal (someone`s) thunder
|
|
Пример: «Adam complained that they wouldn’t let his play run, and yet they had stolen his thunder.» «I kept quiet about my pregnancy because Cathy was getting married, and I didn't want to steal her thunder.» «Damn them! They will not let my play run, but they steal my thunder.» «She stole my thunder by presenting my idea to her boss.»

I have lost everything, and I am so poor now that I really cannot afford to let anything worry me.
Я потерял все и теперь настолько беден, что действительно не могу позволить себе роскоши беспокоиться о чем бы то ни было.
