- не всё же X-у делать Y ≈ X can't go on doing Y forever;

- thing X can't go on (continue) forever;

- [with the focus on spending too much time on one activity] person X can't (shouldn't) spend all his time doing Y;

|| не всё же дождю ( снегу и т. п.) идти{{}}≈ it can't go on raining (snowing etc) forever.

     ♦ [Колесов:] Итак, дома ты не ночевала... В первый раз? [Таня:] Да, в первый раз. [Колесов:] Ну что ж. В конце концов не все же тебе ночевать дома (Вампилов 3). [К.:] So, you didn't spend the night at home. ...For the first time? [T.:] Yes, for the first time. [K.:] Well. ... You can't go on spending the night at home forever, after all (3b).

     ♦ Не расстраивайся из-за погоды: не все же дождю идти - еще успеем и позагорать и поплавать. Don't let the weather get you down: it can't go on raining forever. We'll still have time to get a tan and go swimming.
