One sandwich short of a picnic - не все дома; умом не блещет; винтика не хватает Not very smart; very stupid or slightly crazy: The janitor is one sandwich short of a picnic and he makes many mistakes. * He's a nice old man, but I think he's one sandwich short of a picnic. (That's) One small step for a man, a giant leap for man¬ kind - так один шаг человека стал гигантским прыжком для всего человечества // как ступив один шаг, человек совершил качественный скачок для всего человечества Neil Armstrong's words on first setting foot on the moon, in 1969; a strong contender as the most famous line ever to have been uttered. Armstrong's words are sometimes given as, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Clearly the event was of huge significance and the choice of words was quite deliberate. Armstrong maintained for some time later that he said "for a man" rather than "for man". That line was what he, with the help of his wife, had prepared in advance. The rather fuzzy tapes of the event aren't clear enough to be sure, although the "a" does appear to be missing. I n more recent years, after listening again to the recording, Armstrong has acknowledged that he may have fluffed his line. More recently still, analysis of the tape indicates that the 'a' may have been present on the recording but is too indistinct to hear. One step ahead (of) - быть лучше подготовленным; знать больше других Better prepared, more successful or knowing more than someone else: In his first year as a lecturer he managed to keep one step ahead of the students. One step forward, two steps back - шаг вперёд, два шага назад Every time you make progress, something bad happens which causes you to be in a worse situation 26
