Ставя на одну доску убийцу и его жертву, мы тем самым умываем руки. Indem wir Mörder und Opfer auf eine Stufe stellen, waschen wir uns von unserer Schuld rein.

но помимо стрельбы всегда существуют другие методы - или остается умыть руки и ничего не делать. Aber zwischen militärischer Gewalt und bloßem Zuschauen und sich die Hände in Unschuld waschen, hätte es andere Alternativen gegeben.

Возможно, дела с голландским батальоном в Сребренице обстояли не совсем так, но в недавнем отчете голландского института военной документации (NIOP) на 6000 страницах говорится, что когда настало время взять на себя ответственность за жуткое массовое убийство 7000 боснийских мусульман на глазах миротворческих сил ООН (UNPROFOR) в Сребренице, все умыли руки и озирались по сторонам в поисках того, кто за это ответственен. Dies entspricht vielleicht nicht ganz den tatsächlichen Vorkommnissen rund um das niederländische Bataillon in Srebrenica, aber der jüngste, 6000 Seiten umfassende Bericht des Niederländischen Instituts für Kriegsdokumentation lässt den Schluss zu, dass, wenn es um die Verantwortung für das grausame Massaker an 7.000 bosnischen Muslimen in Srebrenica unter den Augen der UN-Schutztruppe (UNPROFOR) geht, sich alle Beteiligten die Hände in Unschuld waschen und den Ball an andere weiterspielen.

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.
