а вот Dutch FM Says Russian Gays Have No Grounds to Ask Netherlands for Asylum - это как? возмутительно!

parasitic and conservative

The commercial middle-classes, long declining in influence, had been altogether undermined by the war; the bourgeoisie of the future was composed not of independent merchants but of dependent officials, not a free and experimental, but a parasitic and conservative, class. - Ibid. Pg 499

fortunate were the Swiss

Still more fortunate were the Swiss, who had contrived to keep out of the war and now hastened to be included in the peace. - Ibid. Pg. 474

peace conference

They took six month from the opening of the congress to decide how the delegates were to sit and who were to go into the rooms first. ... The French ambassadors were not very gifted. Claude de Mesmes, Marquis d'Avaux, ... Intolerably haughty and easily offended... The third French ambassador ... had been sent merely to add lustre to the embassy and to keep him out of mischief in France.

The chief of [Swedish ambassadors] Johan Oxenstierna had no claim to his position at all save that of being the son of Axel Oxenstierna; he was a large, red-faced, rather stupid man, easily rattled, very haughty, too fond of wine and women.

The Spanish ambassador, Count Guzman de Peñaranda, was not remarkable for his intelligence. ... gained reputation for being impulsive and deceitful. He had, strongly marked, the Spanish tendency to strain over details and miss the main issue.

The congress had been sitting for nearly a year when the delegates found that they were still in doubt as to subjecta belligerantia.

убеждения

"Все думали, что он просто подлец, а оказалось - это у него такие убеждения".

Часто, впрочем, встречается и обратное.

powerful laxative

Herbal Supplements Are Often Not What They Seem: Two bottles labeled as St. John’s wort, which studies have shown may treat mild depression, contained none of the medicinal herb. Instead, the pills in one bottle were made of nothing but rice, and another bottle contained only Alexandrian senna, an Egyptian yellow shrub that is a powerful laxative.

вряд ли поймёт

Тот, кто не понял твоего молчания, вряд ли поймёт твои слова. - народ

Критикуй Линь Бяо

третьего нам не дано

...
Над столицею евразиатской
Неразборчивый шепот и крик,
Смесь английского с ленинабадским,
Мне не выучить этот язык.
...
Что сказать москвичам на прощанье
Погружаясь на склизкое дно?
Вот закрылось «Второе дыхание»
Ну а третьего нам не дано.
