It was more horrifying to see the shock in her eyes than it was to witness the hundreds of ridiculous things I saw each and every day at work; the way she looked at me with that pure, unadulterated pity triggered something inside me.
И сейчас видеть шок в ее ясных глазах было ужаснее, чем день за днем замечать смехотворность моей работы; она смотрела на меня с такой искренней жалостью, что что-то во мне не выдержало и сломалось.

It is not surprising that in the verdict there is not a reference to a single expert, to a single witness who would confirm the drivel about the equivalency of the factual value of the oil in the field to the rice for oil in Western Europe.
Не удивительно, что в приговоре нет ссылки ни на одного эксперта, ни на одного свидетеля, который бы подтвердил чушь об эквивалентности фактической стоимости нефти на промысле цене на нефть в Западной Европе.
