stocks and stones

stocks and stones
1) деревянные и каменные фигурки богов, идолы, истуканы [этим. библ. Deuteronomy XXVIII, 36]

Those whom we regard as idolaters, and worshippers of stocks and stones... (W. Scott, ‘The Talisman’, ch. XXVIII) — Это те, которых мы считаем идолопоклонниками, язычники, поклоняющиеся деревьям и камням.

2) неодушевлённые предметы

Save that Bowden and Steer passed each other as of they were stocks or stones... the affair might have been considered at an end. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Caravan’, ‘A Feud’) — Если не считать того, что Бауден и Стир, встречаясь, смотрели друг на друга, словно видели перед собой груду мусора... дело, казалось, было окончено.

3) бесчувственные люди (ср. статуй бесчувственный; тж. употр. в ед. ч.); см. тж. a stick and a stone

‘You stock and stone!’ exclaimed Miss Havisham. ‘You cold, cold heart!’ (Ch. Dickens, ‘Great Expectations’, ch. XXXVIII) — - О, бесчувственная! - воскликнула мисс Хэвишем. - О, холодное, холодное сердце!

I do everything I can to make you love me and I can't. If you're a stock and a stone, how can I teach you to be the passionate lover? I want you to love me as I love you. (W. S. Maugham, ‘Mrs. Craddock’, ch. XX) — Я делаю все, что могу, чтобы ты любил меня, и все безуспешно. Если ты каменный, как сделать из тебя страстного возлюбленного? Я хочу, чтобы ты любил меня так же, как я тебя люблю.
