Trump is surrounded by cronies rather than flatterers, and they and their foolish, ignorant king believe that by denying climate change they can restore the wealth and glory of coal, oil, and gas. Трамп окружён скорее подельниками, чем льстецами. Вместе со своим глупым, невежественным королём они верят, будто, отрицая изменение климата, им удастся вернуть величие и славу угля, нефти и газа.

Legend holds that King Canute brought his flatterers to the sea to show them that even a king could not command the ocean waves, that the laws of nature are more powerful than the decrees of men. Легенда гласит, что король Канут однажды привёл своих верноподданных льстецов на берег моря, чтобы показать им – даже король не в силах повелевать океанскими волнами, а законы природы сильней людских указов.

Although Blair is now an unpopular figure, his voice, like that of the child in Hans Christian Andersen’s story, is loud enough to carry above the cabal of flatterers assuring Prime Minister Theresa May that her naked gamble with Britain’s future is clad in democratic finery. Блэр сейчас непопулярная фигура, но его голос, как и голос ребёнка в рассказе Ганса Христиана Андерсена, прозвучал достаточно громко, чтобы заглушить клику льстецов, уверяющих премьер-министра Терезу Мэй, будто её голая, рискованная игра с будущим Британии одета в демократические наряды.

Like the eleventh-century Danish King Canute, who commanded the waves not to strike his throne, and then, setting his throne on the beach, demonstrated the fragility of his empire to the flatterers and dreamers who imagined him to be master of the universe, Macron will have to behave modestly. В XI веке датский король Канут приказал морским волнам не касается своего трона, а затем поставил его на пляже, продемонстрировав хрупкость своей империи всем льстецам и мечтателям, которые представляли его господином вселенной. И Макрону надо будет вести себя скромно.

You're a shameless flatterer, Georges. Вы, бесстыжий льстец, Джордж.

What is translation in context on PROMT.One

The “Contexts” section on PROMT.One is your translation-in-context tool that helps you find real examples of how words and phrases are used. Just enter a word and the service will show its translation in context — sentences from bilingual sources where this word is used together with its translation into the target language. This helps you understand subtle shades of meaning and correct usage in speech, whether it is a rare term or a common everyday phrase.

Millions of usage examples from real texts

Millions of translation examples are collected automatically from already translated texts: documents, websites, books, movie dialogues and more. Thanks to this, you can see a word in different situations — from formal business style to everyday colloquial speech. For convenience, the results can be filtered by a specific translation or topic, and you can also search within the examples found to quickly focus on the context you need.

How translation in context helps you learn a language

By using the “Contexts” section, you can effectively expand your vocabulary. The service clearly shows how idioms, phrasal verbs and polysemantic words are translated in different contexts. This makes language learning easier: you remember new words together with their real usage and immediately see correct translations in authentic, living language.
