Examples from texts

Maybe you can beat a sword into a ploughshare, but try 'beating' a propellor engine into a jet engine!
Возможно, вам удастся перековать мечи на орала, но попробуйте-ка "перековать" турбовинтовой двигатель в ракетный!

That day he had had such a good, quiet dinner of chicken gizzards and soup with nuts, and knew nothing of the terrible "Alliance of the Sword and Ploughshare".
Еще сегодня он так вкусно и спокойно обедал, ел куриные пупочки, бульон с орешками и ничего не знал о страшном "союзе меча и орала".
