The cruelest things in the world, she thought, seeing them clumsy, hot, domineering, hypocritical, eavesdropping, jealous, infinitely cruel and unscrupulous, dressed in a mackintosh coat, on the landing; love and religion.
Самые жестокие две вещи на свете, думала она и так и видела их неуклюжесть, ярость, властность, каверзность, бесстыдство, когда, в макинтоше, они стоят и подслушивают под дверью; любовь и религия.

Unlike MDP, the Vickrey-Groves-Clark mechanism allows for complete revelation of preferences, and the domineering strategy here is to report true value of the public goods consumption.
В отличие от механизма MDP механизм VGC позволяет полностью выявить предпочтения - сообщение истинной полезности от потребления общественного блага в данном механизме является доминирующей стратегией.

We are rather slow, and in comparison to the Genaros we are gloomy and domineering.
Мы довольно туповатые и по сравнению с Хенарос мы упрямые и деспотичные.

I cannot get on without domineering and tyrannising over someone, but ... there is no explaining anything by reasoning and so it is useless to reason.
Без власти и тиранства над кем-нибудь я ведь не могу прожить... Но... но ведь рассуждениями ничего не объяснишь, а следственно, и рассуждать нечего.

Harold’s life-work was to test the edibility of everything with which he came in contact, and he did not like having his life’s work mucked about by a domineering woolly monkey.
Проверять съедобность всего, на что он натыкался, – в этом Гарольд видел смысл своей жизни, и вряд ли ему нравилось, что какая‑то деспотичная шерстистая обезьяна срывает столь важное дело.

He's a churchwarden because he can domineer over the choristers and keep them under his thumb; he's the patron of a school because he likes to feel the teacher is his subordinate and enjoys lording it over him.
Он старостой в церкви потому, что там можно начальствовать над певчими и гнуть их в дугу; он попечитель школы потому, что ему нравится сознавать, что учитель - его подчиненный и что он может разыгрывать перед ним начальство.

But I domineered over him frightfully, and absolutely went so far as insolence more than once, even against my own feelings. This all seemed to happen of itself, inevitably; I couldn't restrain myself.
А деспотировал я его ужасно, и даже въезжал неоднократно в нахальство, и даже против сердца: это всё как-то само собою неудержимо делалось, сам себя не мог удержать.

So our general, settled on his property of two thousand souls, lives in pomp, and domineers over his poor neighbours as though they were dependents and buffoons.
Ну вот живет генерал в своем поместьи в две тысячи душ, чванится, третирует мелких соседей как приживальщиков и шутов своих.

He sits all his life at his work, likes it only because he can domineer over his clerks and get the better of his customers.
Он всю жизнь сидит у дела и любит его потому только, что может начальствовать над приказчиками, издеваться над покупателями.
