money on trees

money on trees
«Деньги на деревьях». Людям, особенно детям, нужно напоминать о том, что деньги не растут на деревьях. Это выражение употребляется с XVIII в., чтобы объяснить детям, что деньги зарабатываются трудом или хорошим поведением. Подобным образом говорят о каких-либо других дорогих или редких вещах: generous husbands/cheap houses in the centre of London/well-paid jobs in the teaching profession don't grow on trees — щедрые мужья/дешёвые дома в центре Лондона/хорошо оплачиваемые должности в системе образования не растут на деревьях.
