Financial stability was obviously a smokescreen: taxpayers were forced to repay even the debts of a bank that had already been closed (and thus systemically irrelevant). Финансовая стабильность явно была ширмой: налогоплательщики были вынуждены погасить даже долги банка, который уже был закрыт (и, таким образом, не влияющим на банковскую систему).

The United States intends to create a smokescreen to conceal its violations of human rights in Abu Ghraib, as well as its illegal Guantanamo Bay naval base where there have been, for around five years, flagrant and massive violations of the human rights of hundreds of prisoners who are tortured using reprehensible methods and who are cruelly, humiliatingly and inhumanely mistreated. Соединенные Штаты Америки намереваются создать ширму для того, чтобы скрыть свои нарушения прав человека в Абу-Грейбе, а также на незаконной военно-морской базе в Гуантанамо, где они уже почти пять лет совершают вопиющие массовые нарушения прав человека сотен заключенных, которых пытают, используя самые отвратительные методы и подвергают жестокому унизительному и негуманному обращению.

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.
