Examples from texts

When this idea occurred to Hans Castorp, he turned away his head and put on a primly detached air; a sort of seemly obscurantism presented itself to him as the only correct attitude in the presence of such a thought.
При этой мысли Ганс Касторп отвернулся, на его лице появилось выражение добродетельной и достойной омраченности, ибо даже наедине с собой он считал необходимым напустить на себя эти чувства.
