Indignation at the highhanded behavior of a corrupt police officer helped to drive a Tunisian fruit seller to set himself on fire in 2010, touching off revolutions across the Arab world.

Perhaps he thought that, by helping us in the peace process with the FARC, he had secured a blind ally – one who is willing to look the other way and be an accessory to his highhanded methods. Наверное, он думал, что, помогая нам в мирном процессе с ФАРК, он получил «слепого» союзника, который готов отвернуться, если надо, и стать соучастником его авторитарных методов.

Far from being a model of democracy, the EU is associated with an arrogant, out-of-touch mandarinate that issues rules and edicts with paternalistic and highhanded disregard for ordinary citizens. And some of its new members – Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary, for example – are not exactly paragons of open liberal democracy. Будучи далеко не идеальной моделью демократии, Евросоюз для них ассоциируется с заносчивыми, утратившими связь с народом косными чиновниками, которые издают правила и эдикты в патерналистской и властной манере, пренебрегая интересами простых граждан, тем более что некоторые из недавно вступивших в Евросоюз стран, таких как Румыния, Болгария и Венгрия, не являют собой образец открытой либеральной демократии.

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!
