easy circumstances

easy circumstances
обеспеченность, достаток, безбедное существование; см. тж. reduced circumstances

Foolish people in easy circumstances flatter themselves that there is no such thing as the class war in the British Empire... They deceive themselves. We are up to the neck in class war. (B. Shaw, ‘Platform and Pulpit’, ‘The Danger of War’) — Глупцы, живущие в достатке, тешат себя мыслью, что в Британской империи нет классовой борьбы... Это самообман. Мы по уши в классовой борьбе.
