Hello

Hello everybody. Maybe someone can tell me whether these phrases can be used in such phrases?
"Turn away" - He did not help in a difficult situation.
"Go up" - Rise on the career ladder. He rose in my eyes.
"Get off" - Bring your legs ( run away quickly).



Turn away- yes, excellent. . It could also be used when, for example a restaurant or hotel is full. People arrive but the restaurant or hotel must turn them away.

Go up- Rise on the career ladder, yes. He rose in my eyes is not a phrase that an native speaker will use often. What is the Russian equivalent? Let's look for a better idiomatic translation. 


Get off-- The usual meaning is to leave a bus, train, or trolley. "she got off at the last station"

Idiomatic usage- "Where do you get off"--- this is a negative expression usually when someone does something rude or selfish. "He went in front of me in line and he does this all the time. Where does he get off?"

"Bring your legs ( run away quickly)."-- What is the Russian equivalent? New phrase to me. 

Hope this helps!

Here are my comments:

The first sentence is correct - someone turns away. Brava!

"climb" up the corporate ladder would be more correct. We wouldn't use "go up" in this context.

"Take off" would be correct.  The expression "get off" is a slang expression for reaching a climax while having sex.

I hope this helps, Nicoletta
