The first seemed to be an assembly of heroes and demigods; the other, a knot of pedlars, pick-pockets, highwayman, and bullies.
Первый казался собранием героев и полубогов, второй - сборищем разносчиков, карманных воришек, грабителей и буянов.

"It could also do with a little more free enterprise, a good bashing for the police bullies, and the introduction of some pollution controls," I said.
– И ей не помешали бы чуточку больше свободы предпринимательства, добрая взбучка хамам в полицейских мундирах и хотя бы зачаточные представления об экологическом контроле.

I supposed what she had seen of Singleton had led her to think all commissioners were hectoring bullies, but had I sensed something more in her words?

'I was kept a prisoner to my room the next day, and a judge, a general, and a host of lawyers, officers, and officials, were set upon me to bully, perplex, threaten, and cajole me.
Весь следующий день я просидел под домашним арестом; судья, генерал, и целая орава юристов, офицеров и чиновников допрашивали, уговаривали, стращали и улещали меня.

The general outburst of hatred with which every one fell upon the “ruffian and duelling bully from the capital” also struck me as curious.
Любопытен был для меня и тот взрыв всеобщей ненависти, с которою все у нас накинулись тогда на "буяна и столичного бретера".

Frank was so simple as to lose his temper when Elmer had bullied him, roared at him, bulked at him, long enough, with Frank's own deacons accepting Elmer as an authority.
Фрэнк был настолько простодушен, что потерял самообладание, когда Элмер начал запугивать и орать на него, грозно надвигаясь всею своею массой, в то время как его же, Фрэнка, собственные старосты почтительно ловили каждое слово Элмера.

He watched until they drove away, the gross parents, the bland, degenerate offspring: it was easy to prophesy the family's swing around Europe, bullying their betters with hard ignorance and hard money.
Он ждал, когда они уедут — хамы-родители и их хилый, дегенеративный отпрыск; нетрудно было представить себе, как эта семейка будет колесить по Европе, запугивая порядочных людей своим тупым невежеством и тугим кошельком.
