WS, to be (very) quick is neither informal, nor colloquial.

⁌ ULY ⁍publicó un comentario hace 6 años

TO BE QUICK TO means to no exercise judgement and do things without giving them thought: How can someone who drinks so much be so quick to judge people who smoke?

⁌ ULY ⁍publicó un comentario hace 6 años

I think Grumbler’s is the only correct translation here.

W. S.publicó un comentario hace 6 años

Not to exercise judgement and do things without giving them thought means хватать на лету. Right off the bat.

W. S.publicó un comentario hace 6 años

On the fly means to do things in a slipshod manner.

"do things without giving them thought means хватать на лету"

No, it doesn't
хватать на лету означает быстро понимать/усваивать, а не делать

Сделать что-то "на лету" тоже можно, но это уже не "хватать"

W. S.publicó un comentario hace 6 años

It was just a figure of speech.

хватать на лету

ЛОВИТЬ НА ЛЕТУ что{{}}
[VP; subj: human; pres or past]
=====
1. Also: СХВАТЫВАТЬ < ХВАТАТЬ> НА ЛЕТУ ЛЕТУ; ЛОВИТЬ С ЛЕТУ [obj: usu. все, мысль etc; pres or past]
to (be able to) understand, assimilate sth. (another's thoughts, ideas etc) quickly and easily:
- X ловит все на лету{{}}≈ X picks things up quickly;
- X is quick to grasp things;
- X is quick to catch on (to things);
- X is quick on the uptake;
- [in limited contexts] X catches (seizes) everything on the wing.
Though, On the wing is a mistake here.
`Go and give Mr Scott a hand on the wing, there's a good man.

ON THE FLY means to do something QUICKLY, without any preparation or warning: "When Edgar died, his estranged wife and children created a new will on the fly and forged it, thus inheriting the bulk of his estate." We also use it for people who have a facility for learning or understanding things after only hearing/seeing them one time: He's been studying Russian for three months and already he can understand any question on the fly - he just can't answer right away."

TO BE QUICK TO means to react a certain way without really knowing all the facts: "Don't be too quick to praise my Russian - I understand almost everything I read, but can't speak one word of it."

⁌ ULY ⁍publicó un comentario hace 6 años

So which meaning corresponds to НА ЛЕТУ?

grumblerpublicó un comentario hace 6 años

скорее, первое
схватывать на лету - быстро понимать
перекусить/поесть на лету (/на ходу)
Только умение регулировать экспозицию на лету может гарантировать хорошие фотографии со свадьбы ...

Don't be too quick to praise my Russian = не спеши...
