This has been the summit of selfishness, arrogance and lies: a summit at which some have sought to present as a great achievement the increase in official development assistance through the cancellation of given amounts of foreign debt that debtor countries could not have paid in any case. Этот саммит превратился в саммит своекорыстия, высокомерия и лжи: саммит, на котором некоторые пытались представить как великое достижение увеличение официальной помощи развитию посредством списания определенных сумм внешнего долга, которые задолжавшие страны не могли бы выплатить в любом случае.
Since peace is the deepest aspiration of the people of Burundi, the Special Rapporteur urges all the warring parties to overcome selfishness based on individual or group interests and consider only that which is important in the eyes of national and international opinion, namely the need to safeguard the interests of the people of Burundi. Поскольку бурундийский народ нуждается прежде всего в мире, Специальный докладчик настоятельно призывает все воюющие стороны отказаться от своих личных или групповых узкокорыстных целей и направить все усилия на достижение того, что, по мнению национальной и международной общественности, является наиболее важным, а именно обеспечение интересов бурундийского народа.
Surreptitiously, the evil elements may gain mastery of an individual, turning him or her into what may appear to be a tool of chaos and destruction; similarly, a person may fall prey to selfishness and greed to the point at which he or she may be lured into denying others access to the bounty of the universe. Незаметным образом элементы зла могут одерживать верх над человеком и превращать его в то, что может представляться орудием хаоса и разрушения; подобно этому, человек может оказываться в плену гордыни и корысти до такой степени, что он или она могут подвергаться соблазну лишать других доступа к изобильным благам вселенной.

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. Take advantage of context-based translation on PROMT.One — learning a language becomes easier and more engaging!
