How could you tell that you would fall down the cellar stairs in a fit, if you didn't sham a fit on purpose?"
Как ты мог наперед узнать, что провалишься именно в этот погреб в припадке, если не притворился в падучей нарочно?

Although, under this so-called competitive socialism, the planning by the central authority would take somewhat more roundabout forms, its effects would not be fundamentally different, and the element of competition would be little more than a sham.
И хотя при «конкурентном социализме» планирование должно идти окольными путями, результаты его будут теми же самыми, а элемент конкуренции останется не более чем бутафорией.

"In regard to my epilepsy, sir, you had much better inquire of the doctors here. You can ask them whether it was a real fit or a sham; it's no use my saying any more about it."

The gentlemen who lived behind these modest sham facades reeked of gold and power, of carefully secured riches, and they reeked of it more strongly than anything Grenouille had smelled thus far on his journey through the provinces.
Господа, которые жили за этими скромными кулисами, пахли золотом и властью, тяжелым надежным богатством, и они пахли всем этим сильнее, чем все в этом роде, что до сих пор обонял Гренуй во время своего путешествия по провинции.

Правда, войну она вообще считала мошенничеством; но что противник теперь другой, она даже не заметила.
