Future Shock
Toffler, Alvin
© 1970 by Alvin Toffler
As the environment churns faster, we are not only pressured to devote more mental resources to thinking about the future, but to extend our time horizon — to probe further and further ahead.
По мере того как наше окружение постепенно набирает обороты своего поступательного движения, мы не только вынуждены все больше размышлять о будущем, но и расширять горизонты нашего времени, зондируя все более и более отдаленное будущее.

'When at last,' he began again, 'I emerged from the deep depression which overwhelmed me after my wife's death, I resolved to devote myself, as it is called, to work.
– Отделавшись наконец, – заговорил он опять, – от тяжелого унынья, которое овладело мною после смерти моей жены, я вздумал было приняться, как говорится, за дело.

Perhaps even better: imaginary friends - and imaginary gods - have the time and patience to devote all their attention to the sufferer.
Более того: воображаемые друзья и воображаемые боги посвящают страждущему всё своё время и внимание без остатка.

the reader will ask. Can they not, when they experience the people’s revolution, devote their energies “to the service of the people and to organising their labour and their social relations”?
— спросит читатель, — разве не может она, переживая народную революцию, посвятить свои силы «на служение народу, на организацию его труда и его общественных отношений»?

He'll vow to be true to you, and that very day he will just as truthfully, just as sincerely, devote himself to someone else; and what's more he'll be the first person to come and tell you about it.
Он вот поклянется тебе, да в тот же день, так же правдиво и искренно, другому отдастся; да еще сам первый к тебе придет рассказать об этом.

I bowed down to the board of the table, and humbly answered "that I was my master's slave: but, if I were at my own disposal, I should be proud to devote my life to her majesty's service."
Я низко поклонился королеве и скромно ответил, что я раб своего хозяина, но что если бы я был свободен распоряжаться своей судьбой, то с радостью посвятил бы свою жизнь служению ее величеству.

It is generally recommended to devote more attention to large anomalies (except if fractures are almost normal to the borehole axis), and to be particularly cautious in interpreting the results if the pad-borehole contact is lost.
Обычно рекомендуется уделять больше внимания крупным аномалиям (исключение составляют случаи, когда трещины перпендикулярны к оси скважины) и быть осторожным при интерпретации результатов потери контакта башмака со стенкой скважины.

Kill her, take her money and with the help of it devote oneself to the service of humanity and the good of all. What do you think, would not one tiny crime be wiped out by thousands of good deeds?
Убей ее и возьми ее деньги, с тем чтобы с их помощию посвятить потом себя на служение всему человечеству и общему делу: как ты думаешь, не загладится ли одно, крошечное преступленьице тысячами добрых дел?

After dinner he proposed to Insarov that he should take him to the Stahovs; but he replied that he had intended to devote the evening to correspondence with his Bulgarians, and so he would ask him to put off the visit to the Stahovs till next day.
После обеда он предложил Инсарову свести его к Стаховым но тот отвечал, что располагает посвятить весь вечер на переписку с своими болгарами и потому просит его отсрочить посещение Стаховых до другого дня.
