fly in the ointment

%%

ложка дёгтя в бочке мёда

Examples from texts

The only fly in the ointment is the fact Mark made some kind of shift error and got lost among the stars, before he could get to Earth."
Единственной ложкой дегтя во всей этой бочке меда является то, что Марк совершил какую-то ошибку при подготовке прыжка и потерялся в межзвездном пространстве, прежде чем смог добраться до Земли.
