Nobel Prize An unduly timid or anxious person, as in He’s a real nervous Nellie, calling the doctor about every little symptom. This term does not allude to a particular person named Nellie; rather, the name was probably chosen for the sake of alliteration. The phrase originated in 1925–1930. Nice Nelly/Nellie (inf) – образцово-показательный (человек) Someone who acts too good to be true; a prude; a prig: We took him for a nice Nelly when he wouldn’t fight. Used as an adjective, the phrase means someone too careful not to say or do anything wrong or improper; too proper; prudish: Her nice Nellie behavior made her unpopular at school. Nobel Prize – Нобелевская премия The Nobel Prize (Swedish pronunciation: xåçDÄcäz) is a set of annual international awards bestowed in a number of categories by Scandinavian committees in recognition of cultural and/or scientific advances. The will of the Swedish philanthropist inventor Alfred Nobel established the prizes in 1895. The Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway, while the other prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden. The Nobel Prize is widely regarded as the most prestigious award available in the fields of literature, medicine, physics, chemistry, peace, and economics. Each recipient, or laureate, receives a gold medal, a diploma, and a sum of money which is decided by Nobel Foundation yearly. As of 2012, each prize was worth 8 million SEK1 (c. US$1.2 million, €0.93 million). The prize is not awarded posthumously; however, if a person is awarded a prize and dies before receiving it, the prize may still be presented. 1 SEK – Swedish Krona (Currency of Sweden) 117
