Suppose a process continues for a long time. And someone will ask: how much can you ?! They will answer him: all this for the time being. The meaning of phraseology will be analyzed today.
Meaning
The content of phraseology can be different, depending on the context and situation. Its meaning is temporary, until, until the occurrence of any event or moment.
Girl and boy
For example, a girl meets a boy, but she secretly told her mother that she did not really like a gentleman. And then the girl’s father asks his wife:
“Well, what do you think, mother, are they all serious?”
- No, I think that this union will last for the time being. The meaning of phraseology, I think, I should not explain to you. And there she will meet a party more suitable for herself.
In other words, when a girl meets a good boy who will be to her taste, she will abandon her current boyfriend and rush into the arms of her happiness.
This example shows what will last for the time being. The value of phraseology expresses the inevitability of some event. I must say that basically in this sense this stable phrase is used. Usually the speaker knows that something must change the situation, and things will go in a completely different direction, as a rule, more favorable for him.
Honest excellent student and dishonest student
The boy came to his father and told him that they were writing a test paper. The teacher gave him "5", but he also gave Vovka Sidorov the same rating. And Comrade Sidorov most certainly wrote off his control. The father replies in this manner: “Son, firstly, it is not good to overshadow. Secondly, you need to courageously accept the blows of fate and the injustice of life from an early age. When people intervene, there is no need to talk about justice, because people are not robots. Thirdly, your opponent will be able to crank up such things for the time being. The meaning of phraseology should have been told to you in the lessons of the Russian language. Have I reassured you? "
"Bloodthirsty" and neutral subtext of expression
Sometimes in the phrase “for the time being” (phraseological unit) the meaning is not colored in any way, it is neutral. And sometimes at the time of pronunciation, phrases think of retaliation. For example, the aforementioned father reassured his son that his classmate's scams would not last long, and in the end he would be caught and brought to a harsh comradely or teacher's court. Imagine a Hollywood action movie-like plot.
Humiliated and insulted come to a tough policeman and say that the villain whose face they forever remembered has robbed them.
Then the policeman, blazing with righteous anger, gets up from the table and says: “Nothing, citizens! The thug is free for the time being!”
Phraseologism (its meaning) is revealed to the reader through available examples.
Sweet anticipation of revenge or retribution is included in the meaning of the expression as a necessary element. True, this is not always the case. Soviet writers (and not only Soviet ones) can find a sentence with phraseologism “for the time being” (the meaning of phraseology is already disclosed) in a neutral context. We also have one thing, for example, this: "Boris buried the treasure, but for the time being did not want to inform Sergei about his whereabouts. Boris needed time to make sure his friend was trustworthy."
But in everyday everyday speech, this expression is rather endowed with a prophetic and full of gloomy forebodings meaning. The boy steals apples in a strange garden. It is known that the trees are guarded by an old man with a gun, but, apparently, he guards badly. One adult was told about the impudent teenager, and he said with a corresponding face: "All this for the time being, until his grandfather caught him and shot him!"
If we talk about the tonality of the expression, then it, of course, is informal and is not suitable for official meetings. In addition, it is not specific. At business meetings and political events one cannot speak abstractly.
Imagine a discussion is underway on a deal to buy a car or a batch of cars and the buyer says: "We will not transfer money for the time being." Does that sound strange? In this case, it is necessary to say specifically what conditions must be met so that the seller has the funds on time. So business negotiations are conducted .
