- hypocrite
- 1880, Михаил Салтыков-Щедрин, “Семейные итоги”, in Господа Головлёвы; English translation from I. P. Foote, transl., The Golovlevs, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986:
- Не на́до ду́мать, что Иу́душка был лицеме́р в смы́сле, наприме́р, Тартю́фа и́ли любо́го совреме́нного францу́зского буржуа́, соловьё́м рассыпа́ющегося по ча́сти обще́ственных осно́в. Нет, е́жели он и был лицеме́р, то лицеме́р чи́сто ру́сского поши́ба, то есть про́сто челове́к, лишё́нный вся́кого нра́вственного мери́ла и не зна́ющий ино́й и́стины, кро́ме той, кото́рая зна́чится в а́збучных про́писях.
- Ne nádo dúmatʹ, što Iúduška byl licemér v smýsle, naprimér, Tartjúfa íli ljubóvo sovreménnovo francúzskovo buržuá, solovʹjóm rassypájuščevosja po části obščéstvennyx osnóv. Net, jéželi on i byl licemér, to licemér čísto rússkovo pošíba, to jestʹ prósto čelovék, lišónnyj vsjákovo nrávstvennovo meríla i ne znájuščij inój ístiny, króme toj, kotóraja znáčitsja v ázbučnyx própisjax.
- It would be wrong to think that Judas was a hypocrite in the same mould as, say, Tartuffe or some present-day French bourgeois who waxes eloquent about the ‘bases of society’. No, if he was a hypocrite at all, he was a hypocrite of the pure Russian type – that is, simply a man without any moral standard whatsoever and knowing no truth but that contained in copybook axioms.
