30 мин степень уверенности: совокупность мнений: +8
совокупность мнений: +8get to the heart of the matter Пояснение: (Thanks, Angela.) As noted in the discussion field, "зреть в корни" looks like a variation on "смотреть в корень", which Ozhegov helpfully gives as "вникать в существо дела". In English, I would say "to get to the heart of the matter," although "root" is perfectly good, too. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2009-11-30 13:49:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Looking at the article, which Alex Khanin located, I would revise the suggestion to: Sotheby's and Christie's Get Down to Fundamentals That is, I don't see direct wordplay on "корень/корни" the way they have with лицом/лицами in the other one (though I didn't read every word of the article), but this version would give at least a tiny hint at the money theme, which is the point. |
