He was a peace-loving man and he had let her walk through her part cold rather than cause trouble. (F. S. Fitzgerald, ‘The Last Tycoon’, ch. 4) — Старр был человеком мирным и, не желая причинять неприятности этой девушке, разрешил ей отбарабанить свою роль.

2) относиться к делу равнодушно, делать что-л. без души

But with wandering Willie this was an occasional, and a rare fit of dullness... arising either from fatigue, or contempt of the present audience, or that caprice which so often tempts painters and musicians and great actors, in the phrase of the latter, to walk through their part instead of exerting themselves with the energy which acquired their fame... (W. Scott, ‘Redgauntlef’, ch. XX) — Но бродячий музыкант Вилли играл без всякого подъема... С ним это случалось редко и объяснялось усталостью, или презрением к теперешней аудитории, или тем капризом, который так часто заставляет художников, музыкантов и великих актеров, выражаясь языком последних, отбарабанить свою роль, вместо того чтобы напрячь все усилия и проявить энергию, с которой они завоевывали свою славу...
