Examples from texts

Each time they have asked for permission to enter the United States the Government of that county has refused it, thereby flouting not only international law but also United States law.
Всякий раз, когда они обращаются с просьбой выдать разрешение на въезд в Соединенные Штаты, правительство этой страны отказывает им в этой просьбе, нарушая тем самым не только международное право, но и американское законодательство.

At first he was somewhat changeable in his behaviour: now civil, now returning to his old manner of flouting me to my face; and in both I met him half-way.
Поначалу он был очень неровен: то вежлив, то насмешлив и вызывающ, — и в обоих случаях я платил ему той же монетой.
