A fit of passionate sobbing choked her. She crouched on the floor like a wounded thing, and Dorian Gray, with his beautiful eyes, looked down at her, and his chiselled lips curled in exquisite disdain.
Захлебываясь бурными слезами, она корчилась на полу, как раненое животное, а Дориан Грей смотрел на нее сверху с усмешкой высокомерного презрения на красиво очерченных губах.

Though he did, it is true, speak of his own cowardice and egoism, yet on the whole the note was suggestive of a sort of disdain ...or rather there was apparent in the whole episode a superlative nonchalance.
Хоть он и действительно прописал в ней про свое "малодушие" и про свой "эгоизм", но вся, в целом, записка эта как бы отличалась каким-то высокомерием... или, лучше, во всем поступке этом выяснялось какое-то пренебрежение.

The grounds of his disdain seemed a little dark and confused; but they were evidently sufficient. MacIan resumed in some encouragement: "You think as I do, I hope; you think that a man should be connected with the Church; with the common Christian...
Причины его презрения были не совсем ясны; однако Макиэн торжествующе воскликнул: – Ну вот! Вы тоже считаете, что человек должен верить в Бога, ходить в церковь…

"At other times, if a female stranger came among them, three or four of her own sex would get about her, and stare, and chatter, and grin, and smell her all over; and then turn off with gestures, that seemed to express contempt and disdain."
Если в стадо забегает чужая самка, то три или четыре представительницы ее пола окружают ее, таращат на нее глаза, что-то лепечут, скалят зубы, все ее обнюхивают и отворачиваются с жестами презрения и отвращения.
