Друзья, а подскажите, пожалуйста, какими ещё выражениями можно на английском языке передать фразу: Сжигать за собой мосты, кроме burn one's bridges, burn one's boats, burn one's ships? Интересуют любые варианты, которые реально существуют в английском языке. Спасибо)

Take (choose) the road of no return.
Cross the Rubicon.

Спасибо))) Речь идёт о переводе строчки из стихотворения, в которой лирический герой говорит о том, что не сжигал за собой мостов. Буду думать)))

It was not Rubicon I crossed;
***
Just fish in thick tomato souse,
And me again, pathetic wimp,
Who has no f**king place to swim.

Сорвалось, извините;)))))

Нееее, не так! :)

Fish in thick tomato sauce
Swims in happy comatose
Only me, pathetic whimp
Have no fucking place to swim…

cross the Rubicon.
Commit, (undertake, engage in and synonyms - not exactly in your sense, but OK for other uses), close the door (?? - not in your sense, probably); do sth and never turn back
"never burned my ships" -- stayed connected, never severed my ties, (break off, abandon, put an end to) (depart from, go away from, walk out on, jilt, forsake sth)(renounce sth/sb, e.g. friends)

Find an on-line thesaurus and do further searches starting from the listed possibilities. Reword the target phrase in your context and look for the synonyms of the paraphrased part
