Evgenie Pavlovitch remarked here that he had spoken of his intention of leaving the service long ago.He had, however, always made more or less of a joke about it, so no one had taken him seriously.
Из поднявшихся разговоров оказалось, что Евгений Павлович возвещал об этой отставке уже давным-давно; но каждый раз говорил так не серьезно, что и поверить ему было нельзя.

Actions by corporate personnel departments and negligence of the RF Ministry of Education have confirmed N.M. Karamzin's old joke, that "severity of the Russian laws is justified by an opportunity not to abide by them".
Действия промышленных отделов кадров и бездействие Министерства образования РФ подтвердили старую шутку Н.М. Карамзина, что "суровость российских законов оправдывается возможностью их не исполнять".

If an officer ventured on a joke, she would make a contemptuous grimace and say, "An army joke!"
Если же острит офицер, то она делает презрительную гримасу и говорит: "Арррмейская острота!"

It appeared to him that it was simply a joke on Aglaya's part, if there really were anything in it at all; but that seemed to him quite natural. His preoccupation was caused by something different.
Ему мерещилось, что это была просто шалость с ее стороны, если, действительно, тут что-нибудь есть; но он как-то слишком был равнодушен собственно к шалости и находил ее слишком в порядке вещей; сам же был занят и озабочен чем-то совершенно другим.

I know him. He'll say anything as a joke or from obstinacy, but he'll never deceive you against his conscience.
Знаю его: сболтнуть что сболтнет, али для смеху, али с упрямства, но если против совести, то никогда не обманет.

They had turned her out as a joke, to give her a taste of the frost because she had been crying so much, and they shut the door behind her.

When he suggested the spiritual slumming, the joke was that Vestal protested, "Why, I'm surprised at you, wanting to hear a vicious Ku Kluxer like Snood and his race-prejudices!"
Смешнее всего было то, что на предложение совершить эту экскурсию в трущобы духа Вестл ответила упреком: - Фу, Нийл, зачем тебе слушать этого гнусного куклуксклановца с его расистскими бреднями?
