The lesson to be learned from this research, however, was not simply that slum living conditions breed crime (although these studies provided rich documentation that tended to support such a proposition).
Первый урок, извлеченный из этих исследований, отнюдь не сводился к тому, что жизнь в городских трущобах порождает преступность (хотя в этих работах и было собрано немало документальных данных, подтверждающих такой тезис).

In three thousand years we might make our poor waste of an earth, jungle and desert, slag-heap and slum, into another such heaven of beauty and power....

Turning off Constitution, I finally found Connecticut, which eventually led me to a northwest section of the city that I suspected would have been little better than a slum were it not for the Washington Hilton.
Свернув с проспекта Конституции, я оказалась на проспекте Коннектикут, который вывел меня к северозападной части города. Ее можно было бы назвать провинциальной, если бы не шикарный отель "Вашингтон Хилтон".

Mrs Jarley was not proof against the poet's insinuating manner, and Mr Slum entered the order in a small note-book as a three-and-sixpenny one.
Миссис Джарли не могла устоять перед въедливым поэтом, и мистер Слам внес заказ в маленькую памятною книжечку и поставил рядом и сумму — три шиллинга шесть пенсов.

Ask the perfumers, ask the blacking-makers, ask the hatters, ask the old lottery-office-keepers - ask any man among 'em what my poetry has done for him, and mark my words, he blesses the name of Slum.
Спросите парфюмеров, спросите продавцов ваксы, спросите шапочников, спросите лотерейщиков — спросите кого угодно, приносят ли пользу мои стихи, и вы услышите, что мое имя благословляют!
