Had Huxley and Lincoln been born and educated in our time, they would have been the first to cringe with the rest of us at their own Victorian sentiments and unctuous tone.

That vision made Bruenor cringe, for the orcs and dwarves visible in the drawing were not meeting in battle or even in parlay.
Бренор недовольно поморщился, едва на них взглянув, так как изображенные там орки и дворфы не сражались между собой и даже не вели переговоры.

He would cringe and flinch, if they stepped near him or made any sudden movement, and he avoided the touch of their elven-cloaks; but he was friendly, and indeed pitifully anxious to please.
Он поджимался и вздрагивал от их внезапных движений, боялся подходить близко и с ужасом сторонился их эльфийских плащей, но был приветлив и жалко угодлив.

Everywhere the weak execrate the powerful, before whom they cringe; and the powerful beat them like sheep whose wool and flesh they sell.
Везде слабые ненавидят сильных, перед которыми они пресмыкаются, а сильные обходятся с ними, как со стадом, шерсть и мясо которого продают.

Cowering behind English feudalism, I wasn’t sure whether to cringe or to cheer aloud.
Я, скрючившись за стеной английского феодализма, не знал, браниться или кричать «Ура!».

Then the quintets will cringe into obedience and be obsequiously ready on occasion.
Тогда и пятерки подожмут хвосты повиновения и с подобострастием пригодятся при случае.

Most network administrators cringe at the thought of users authenticating across the WAN instead of locally.
Большинство администраторов съеживаются при одной мысли о проведении аутентификации пользователей через глобальные, а не через локальные соединения.

"You see, Lambert, what annoys me most is that you think you can order me about now as you used to do at Touchard's, while you are cringing upon everybody here."

A despot that has its priests and its slaves, a despot to whom all do homage with love and superstition hitherto inconceivable, before which science itself trembles and cringes in a shameful way.
Деспот, имеющий своих жрецов и рабов, деспот, пред которым всё преклонилось с любовью и суеверием, до сих пор немыслимым, пред которым трепещет даже сама наука и постыдно потакает ему.
