From his dress and appearance they might well have taken him for a beggar asking alms in the streets, and the gift of the twenty copecks he doubtless owed to the blow, which made them feel sorry for him.
По платью и по виду они очень могли принять его за нищего, за настоящего собирателя грошей на улице, а подаче целого двугривенного он, наверно, обязан был удару кнута, который их разжалобил.

Some years ago I read in the newspaper that on one of the steamers on the Volga there died a beggar who went about begging in rags and was known to every one.
Несколько лет назад я прочел в газетах, что на Волге, на одном из пароходов, умер один нищий, ходивший в отрепье, просивший о милостыню, всем там известный.

I would have shot a man in a duel if he called me names because I am descended from a filthy beggar and have no father. And they used to throw it in my teeth in Moscow. It had reached them from here, thanks to Grigory Vassilyevitch.
Я бы на дуэли из пистолета того убил, который бы мне произнес, что я подлец, потому что без отца от Смердящей произошел, а они и в Москве это мне в глаза тыкали, отсюда благодаря Григорию Васильевичу переползло-с.

I have heard that once a beggar came to a synagogue and he told the rabbi, "I am a great musician, and I have heard that the musician who belonged to this synagogue is dead, and you are looking for another.
Рассказывают, что однажды в синагогу пришел нищий. "Я - великий музыкант, - сказал он рабби. - Я слышал, что ваш музыкант, который был при синагоге, скончался, и вы ищете другого.

The other day I read of another beggar of the "respectable" sort, who used to go about the restaurants holding out his hand.
На днях я опять читал про одного нищего, из благородных, ходившего по трактирам и протягивавшего там руку.

"I'm violent and resentful, Alyosha, I'll tear off my finery, I'll destroy my beauty, I'll scorch my face, slash it with a knife, and turn beggar.

Once a man to wear perfume and trim his mustache just so, Joachim now smelled of piss and sweat like a beggar.
Когда-то пахший духами и подстригавший усики, теперь он источал запах мочи и пота, как нищий.

'I know it, I know it!' Dick cried, clenching his hands despairingly; 'but, good heavens! is a poor blind beggar never to get anything out of his life except three meals a day and a greasy waistcoat?
— Я знаю это, знаю! — воскликнул Дик, в отчаянии ломая руки. — Боже правый, да неужели несчастный слепец никогда ничего не добьется от жизни, кроме своей троекратной еды в сутки да засаленной и запятнанной куртки?

It may seem to the Western reader that this is not such a big deal. The chairman of a court is hardly going to be a beggar, so it is not so surprising if he has a car of this kind.
Возможно, кому‑то на Западе это покажется нормальным явлением: председатель суда не может быть нищим, и, значит, «Форд» – не из ряда вон выходящая вещица в его быту.
