With his fortune, his good looks and his youth, his many brilliant qualities, his wit, his taste, and his unfailing gaiety he appeared in Petersburg not as a toady and fortune-hunter, but as a man in a fairly independent position.Еще молодой, красавец собою, с состоянием, одаренный многими блестящими качествами, несомненным остроумием, вкусом, неистощимою веселостью, он явился не как искатель счастья и покровительства, а довольно самостоятельно.Dostoevsky, Fyodor / The Insulted and InjuredДостоевский, Фёдор / Униженные и оскорблённыеУниженные и оскорблённыеДостоевский, Фёдор© "Государственное издательство художественной литературы", 1955The Insulted and InjuredDostoevsky, Fyodor

Fyodor Pavlovitch, for instance, began with next to nothing; his estate was of the smallest; he ran to dine at other men's tables, and fastened on them as a toady, yet at his death it appeared that he had a hundred thousand roubles in hard cash.Федор Павлович, например, начал почти что ни с чем, помещик он был самый маленький, бегал обедать по чужим столам, норовил в приживальщики, а между тем в момент кончины его у него оказалось до ста тысяч рублей чистыми деньгами.Dostoevsky, Fyodor / The brothers KaramazovДостоевский, Фёдор / Братья КарамазовыБратья КарамазовыДостоевский, Фёдор© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1988The brothers KaramazovDostoevsky, Fyodor
For his friends and cronies, he had a pompous old schoolmaster, who flattered him, and a toady, his senior, whom he could thrash.Его друзьями и наперсниками были напыщенный старый школьный учитель, льстивший мальчику, и подлиза, который был несколько его старше и которого он мог колотить.Thackeray, William Makepeace / Vanity FairТеккерей, Уильям Мейкпис / Ярмарка тщеславияЯрмарка тщеславияТеккерей, Уильям Мейкпис© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1976Vanity FairThackeray, William Makepeace© Wordsworth Editions Limited 2001
He is fond of playing cards, but only with people of a lower standing; they toady him with 'Your Excellency' in every sentence, while he can scold them and find fault to his heart's content.В карты играть он любит, но только с людьми звания низшего; они-то ему: «Ваше превосходительство», а он-то их пушит и распекает, сколько душе его угодно.Turgenev, I.S. / A Sportsman's Sketches v.1Тургенев, И.С. / Записки охотника т.1Записки охотника т.1Тургенев, И.С.© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1975A Sportsman's Sketches v.1Turgenev, I.S.© 2006 BiblioBazaar
