     ♦ "На воле голова редко бывает занята одной работой... Значит, на воле инженер не может работать в полную силу" (Копелев 1). "On the outside [i.e., when not in prison], your head is rarely concerned only with work. ...So, that means that on the outside an engineer can't work to his full capacity..." (1a).
