this year, next year...

this year, next year...
«Этот год, следующий год...». Законченная фраза звучит так: 'This year, next year, sometime, never'. («Этот год, следующий год, когда-нибудь, никогда»). Это похоже на детскую считалку: «Медник, портной, солдат, моряк, богач и бедняк, нищий и вор...» и т. д. Используется при загадывании какого-нибудь желания в надежде, что оно когда-нибудь исполнится, например, жениться (выйти замуж) или приобрести миллион фунтов стерлингов. Часто для гадания используются лепестки цветов или косточки от слив.
