a useless or hopeless pursuit
бесполезное или безнадежное преследование
"Looking for that document was a wild goose chase."
"поиск этого документа был тщетной погоней."
to make your dreams come true through effort
to cry a lot or show extreme sadness
a sudden outpouring of creative ideas
to connect or coordinate with something else
to slow down or stop an activity
to deal with a problem when it arises, rather than worrying...
