Then there are those who believe that EU enlargement has prevented greater “deepening,” and who, with scant regard for the past or the future, argue that pursuing the latter requires abandoning the former.
Еще есть те, кто считает, что расширение ЕС предотвратило большее "углубление", и кто, вряд ли принимая во внимание прошлое или будущее, утверждает, что стремление к последнему требует отказа от первого.

The former are cleared of the crimes they have committed: the latter have crimes pinned on them with scant regard for the law.

"Yes those very ones," interrupted Rogojin, impatiently, and with scant courtesy. I may remark that he had not once taken any notice of the blotchy-faced passenger, and had hitherto addressed all his remarks direct to the prince.
- Да, тех, тех самых, - быстро и с невежливым нетерпением перебил его черномазый, который вовсе, впрочем, и не обращался ни разу к угреватому чиновнику, а с самого начала говорил только одному князю.

Carlos wished it had a face so he could read more into the thing's voice or expression than just the scant narrowing or widening of its glowing red eyes.
Хорошо бы приделать этому типу более выразительную физиономию. Пока о его эмоциях можно было судить лишь по легкому расширению и сужению мерцающих красных глаз.

The only way to get ships and sailors and funding for a voyage of exploration was by appealing to the king, and as a Genovese and a commoner there was scant hope of this.
Получить суда, матросов и деньги для исследовательской экспедиции можно было, только обратившись непосредственно к самому королю, на что он, генуэзец и простой купец, вряд ли мог рассчитывать.

I had scant luggage to take with me to London, for little of the little I possessed was adapted to my new station.
Мне предстояло взять с собой в Лондон весьма скудный багаж, – лишь немногое из того немногого, что у меня было, годилось для моего нового положения.

And it is good, for though we compose a scant blink across the eyes of eternity, yet while the blink lasts we choose what we will, create what we may, and share ourselves with each other as the stars did ere they were bereaved.
Мы созданы всего лишь на краткий миг для Вселенной, но пока этот миг длится, мы можем успеть выбрать свой жизненный путь, сделать то, что нам по силам, и поделиться друг с другом любовью, ибо звезды подарили нам мир, которого сами были лишены.

He imagined that the species spent a good chunk of their life span in frozen hibernation. A good way to conserve energy in an environment so scant on resources.
Он предположил, что грендели проводят большую часть своей жизни в ледяной спячке, чтобы сохранить энергию, пополнение запасов которой в суровых условиях Арктики трудное занятие.

She herself was fading away, her arms grew cold, her breath scant; she no longer knew how to breathe life into him.
Девушка сама чуть не погибала, руки ее леденели, дыхание спирало, и она не умела вдохнуть в больного жизнь.
