Он никогда не пьет алкоголь и не курит. Праведник такой.(ироничное значение) Тут правда его жена звонила, сказала, он не помогает детям.

    He doesn’t drink or smoke. A regular goody-two-shoes! Yet in all actuality, his wife called and said he doesn’t help/support his kids.

    Our do-gooder here never drinks or smokes, but according to his wife, he also won’t lift a finger to support his children.

    He won't touch cigarettes or alcohol. A regular Mother Teresa of Calcutta to all who know him. But behind the scenes lurks a deadbeat who won't even support his children, according to his wife.

Саркастичное, скорее.

He never drinks alcohol or smokes - kind of righteous man. But this one time his wife called and said he isn't supporting his children.

There you are, Maya, two versions - one more sarcastic than the next)))

The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes is a children's story published by John Newbery in London in 1765. The story popularized the phrase "goody two-shoes" as a descriptor for an excessively virtuous person or do-gooder.

Thanks a lot to both of you! I admire your expertise and knowledge of fine aspects of the language!
Улий, could you classify "Mother Teresa", do-gooder" and "goody-two-shoes" basing on the level of sarcasm and irony?

⁌ ULY ⁍publicó un comentario 5 anos atrás

(1) Mother Teresa (made even more sarcastic if you add “of Calcutta”)
(2) Goody Two-Shoes
(3) Do-Gooder
(4) Johnny-on-the-spot (<— least sarcastic)
