This was a ridiculously threadbare force that was incapable of protecting the country’s borders, never mind defending its towns and cities. Что выглядело смехотворным, ведь такие силы неспособны защитить границы, не говоря уже о городах.
We're here because the fabric of integrity has been so abused and mangled that it is little more than a threadbare memory. Потому что саму ткань чистоты и честности так долго топтали ногами, что сегодня она не более чем половая тряпка.
In fact, a basic income may very well be fiscally feasible – not to mention socially desirable – in places where the poverty threshold is low and existing social safety nets are both threadbare and expensive to administer. Оказывается, что выплаты базового дохода выглядят вполне реально с фискальной точки зрения (не говоря уже об их социальной желательности) в тех странах, где порог бедности низок, а существующие системы социальной поддержки слабы, при этом их администрирование обходится слишком дорого.

Как в случае с подержанными автомобилями, ломающимися сразу после продажи, яблоками и помидорами, выглядящими красиво, но совершенно безвкусными, или костюмами, которые быстро снашиваются, продавец может ухудшить качество продукта и снизить расходы, а покупатель ничего и не узнает.

На первый взгляд может показаться, что данная тема уже в определенной мере утратила свою актуальность и несколько приелась, поскольку в последние годы ею так часто занимаются и Совет Безопасности, который ныне отводит этому вопросу 62 процента своего рабочего времени, и другие органы Организации Объединенных Наций, и множество иных международных форумов.

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!
