Everyone knows how it feels to start something all over again, how difficult it is to start in any business. Folk wisdom did not ignore this phenomenon, and designated it with the expression "dashing trouble began." We will sort it out today.
The mythological roots of the expression and the meaning of the word "famously" in the dictum
There was such a creature in Slavic mythology - famously. It symbolized those misfortunes and deprivations that occurred with a person, that is, an evil fate. Accordingly, the speech turn “dashing trouble beginning” means that to start doing something is already half the battle. The beginning is the hardest part of anything.
Why? Everything is very simple, if you use a metaphor, the following will come out: when a person begins to comprehend something (knowledge or business), then he paves the tracks along which he will roll in the future. The undoubted advantage of the phraseologism under consideration is its universality. Let us see this in the examples.
Study
Everyone knows how difficult it is to learn, especially at the very beginning. We will not take the first grade of the school, but take, for example, the first year of the institute. In higher education, everything is different compared to school: attitude, requirements, deadlines. A person who enters a university is at first afraid of everything, worried about every test, exam, even a control one. But then, when yesterday's entrant becomes older, and the sessions turn into a routine, then he already feels more confident than before.
But if one of the senior comrades approached the frightened freshman and said: “Come on, calm down, the trouble has begun, the main thing is to get used to and get into how things are done here,” it could be much easier.
Job
Human life is characterized by various cycles, periods. Modern people study for about 11-16 years. But then you still have to leave school and boldly rush into the waves of adulthood. I must say that the sea of maturity is quite cold. However, we were distracted again.
Imagine an almost unbelievable situation: a young specialist comes to the office, and the bosses are interested in him. Well, if only because he is fresh blood for the organization.
And let’s say, the head of the department where the new staff works, for the first days closely watches him and encourages, but does not swear and scream. You can support in many ways, and you can say the following: "Nothing, nothing - dashing trouble began." Indeed, when a person feels the right to make a mistake, it’s much easier to work. Then even the most difficult work becomes a habit: its own tricks, methods, its own algorithm of work appear.
Phases of life and phraseology
We mentioned a little earlier the universality of phraseology and the difficulty of any undertakings, and this is true. Because it can be applied not only to various forms of social activity (work, study), but also entering into successive age periods and getting used to them (and it doesn’t matter whether it’s old age or youth).
You do not need to get used only to childhood, because at this age there are no special obligations, there is protection and support for adults under normal circumstances. When a person enters the remaining periods of development, everyone probably wants to sometimes hear: “Hold on, dashing trouble has begun!” (the meaning of phraseology we have examined a little higher).
If we allow the possibility of a posthumous existence, then our dear expression may come in handy there. Let's turn to the products of Hollywood - the film "Ghost".
There, as you know, the main character dies a violent death. All the most interesting happens in the film after this mournful event. At the very beginning of his posthumous existence, Sam Wheat meets a more experienced ghost, which tells him how things are in the other world. Despite the rather ironic nature of the conversation between the experienced deceased and the inexperienced, one can easily imagine that in one of the translations into Russian in their conversation the phrase sounds: “Nothing, son, you will get used to your position, the more it is unknown how much you are here (meanwhile the world and this) stuck. As they say, dashing trouble has begun! ” All of our illustrious translators probably knew the meaning of phraseology, but none of them dared to insert this expression into their translation. Although it would be very useful there.
Moral phraseology
It is very simple and easy to extract in this case. Phraseologism says that even if it seems that it is very difficult and scary to start, it is still worth a try, because no one knows how it will be in the end, which will give an effort in the end.
For example, there are countless examples of how the path of famous athletes started from the fact that their parents brought them to the section almost by force. When the great athletes were small, they rested and didn’t want to engage, understanding, probably, implicitly how difficult it is to start, but then they got involved in the training process, and they even liked it. If you do not believe us, then read any interview with famous skaters. Few of them say that they stuck with their soul to ice from the very first training. By the way, the same is true for musicians, such as violinists or pianists.
We hope that after our analysis the reader will not have a question: "Dashing trouble began - what does it mean?" We tried to find examples not only simple, but also close to each person.
