jump at the bait

jump at the bait
(jump at (rise to или swallow) the bait)
попасться на удочку; отреагировать, "клюнуть"; см. тж. rise to the fly

Bismarck pledged his good faith by making payment of the first instalment of the indemnity dependent on the "pacification" of Paris. Such a bait was, of course, eagerly swallowed by Thiers and his plenipotentiaries. (K. Marx, ‘The Civil War in France’, ch. IV) — В залог того, что он сдержит слово, Бисмарк отсрочил уплату первой части контрибуции до "умиротворения" Парижа. Тьер и его уполномоченные набросились, конечно, на такую приманку с жадностью.

But it may be that I am underestimating the alacrity of human folly in rising to the bait. (J. Conrad, ‘Chance’, part I, ch. III) — Но, возможно, я недооцениваю способность глупцов попадаться на удочку.
