mysterious way

mysterious way
«Неисповедимый путь». Эти слова взяты из гимна, написанного в 1779 г. Уильямом Купером (1731—1800):

God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform. — Путь Господень неисповедим, когда он творит чудеса

. В настоящее время эта фраза используется по отношению к любому человеку или организации, чьи действия с трудом поддаются объяснению.

The lottery regulator OFLOT moves in a mysterious way its wonders to perform. Charged with the simple duty of maximising the revenue of 'good causes', it regularly increases the prize money at the expense of these selfsame good causes. — Компания по организации лотереи OFLOT проводит странную политику. Её задача — просто увеличивать доходы различных благотворительных и общественных организаций, а она регулярно увеличивает выигрыши за счёт этих самых организаций.
