And with the flattering laugh of a promising host, he left them in his sanded parlour, hung with prints of the Four Seasons.И он со свойственной трактирщикам льстивой и обнадеживающей улыбкой оставил их в гостиной, где пол был посыпан песком, а стены увешаны олеографиями, изображавшими четыре времени года.Scott, Walter / The AntiquaryСкотт, Вальтер / АнтикварийАнтикварийСкотт, Вальтер© Художественная литература, 1960The AntiquaryScott, Walter© 2007 BiblioBazaar

For our Lowland beggars - even the gownsmen themselves, who beg by patent - had a louting, flattering way with them, and if you gave them a plaek and asked change, would very civilly return you a boddle.У нас на равнине побирушка - хотя бы и законный, у которого на то выправлена бумага, - держится угодливо, подобострастно; подашь ему серебряную монетку, он тебе честь-честью дает сдачи медяк.Stevenson, Robert Louis / KidnappedСтивенсон, Роберт Луис / ПохищенныйПохищенныйСтивенсон, Роберт Луис© Издательство "Правда", 1967KidnappedStevenson, Robert Louis© 1909, by The Macmillan Company
'No; I prefer to say your regard,' observed Mr Dombey; very sensible, as he said so, that he was paying him a handsome and flattering compliment, 'to our mere business relations.— Нет, я предпочитаю сказать — вашей заботы, — возразил мистер Домби, прекрасно сознавая, что делает ему весьма лестный комплимент, — чисто деловыми отношениями.Dickens, Charles / Dombey and SonДиккенс, Чарльз / Торговый дом "Домби и сын"Торговый дом "Домби и сын"Диккенс, Чарльз© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1959Dombey and SonDickens, Charles© 2009 by Classic Books International

The sufferings of shy people proceed only from the doubts which they feel concerning the opinions of their fellows. No sooner are those opinions expressed (whether flattering or the reverse) than the agony disappears.Страдание людей застенчивых происходит от неизвестности о мнении, которое о них составили; как только мнение это ясно выражено - какое бы оно ни было, - страдание прекращается.Толстой, Л.Н. / ДетствоTolstoy, Leo / ChildhoodChildhoodTolstoy, Leo© 2007 Objective Systems Pty LtdДетствоТолстой, Л.Н.© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1960

That was foolish, of course, but at her age and station it was flattering, and, in her innocence, I suppose it might have even seemed glamorous.Конечно, это глупо, но в ее возрасте и положении, при полном незнании жизни, полагаю, все, принадлежащее к миру знатных людей, казалось ей великолепным.Goodkind, Terry / The pillars of creationГудкайнд, Терри / Седьмое правило Волшебника: Столпы творенияСедьмое правило Волшебника: Столпы творенияГудкайнд, Терри© Теrry Goodkind, 2001© Перевод Н.Романецкий, 2003© ООО "Издательство ACT", 2003The pillars of creationGoodkind, Terry© 2001 by Теrry Goodkind

You needn't trouble, I am not annoyed, and I didn't describe myself in that way to get a flattering contradiction from you—no, you're not stupid, you're clever.Не беспокойтесь, не беспокойтесь, я не сержусь и вовсе не для того определил себя в таком виде, чтобы вызвать ваши обратные похвалы: "нет, дескать, вы не бездарны, нет, дескать, вы умны"..Dostoevsky, Fyodor / The possessedДостоевский, Фёдор / БесыБесыДостоевский, Фёдор© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1989The possessedDostoevsky, Fyodor
Set against the brilliant glow of the celebrity from the national capital, the flattering aura surrounding the State Counsellor had dimmed substantially.В блеске столичной знаменитости лестный ореол, окружавший статского советника, изрядно потускнел.Akunin, Boris / The State CounsellorАкунин, Борис / Статский советникСтатский советникАкунин, Борис© B.

Few women except Suellen had ever given him more than perfunctory courtesy and it was very flattering to have a former belle like Scarlett hanging on his words.Если не считать Сьюлин, женщины обращали на него ровно столько внимания, сколько требует вежливость, и ему льстило то, что такая красавица, как Скарлетт, с интересом слушает его.Mitchell, Margaret / Gone with the windМитчелл, Маргарет / Унесенные ветром.
