not to be long for this world

not to be long for this world
немного осталось жить; ≈ не жилец на этом свете

Even a cup of tea was too much for me at my worst times. It went on like that for weeks, until I was nothing but skin and bone, and I could see from Mrs. Mort's face that she really thought I wasn't long for this world. (J. Wain, ‘Strike the Father Dead’, part IV, ‘Eleanor’) — Когда мне было совсем худо, я не могла выпить даже чашку чая. Так продолжалось несколько недель; от меня остались только кожа да кости. По лицу миссис Морт было видно, что я не жилец на этом свете.
