    «Ты огорчил барина!» - с расстановкой произнес Илья Ильич и пристально смотрел на Захара, наслаждаясь его смущением. Захар не знал, куда деваться от тоски... «Эх, смерть нейдет!» - подумал он, видя, что не избежать ему патетической сцены, как ни вертись (Гончаров 1). "You have grieved your master!" Oblomov spoke in a measured tone, fixing his gaze on Zakhar and enjoying his discomfort. Zakhar was so miserable he did not know what to do...."Ah, I wish I were dead!" he thought, seeing that no matter how he tried, he would be unable to escape a "pathetic" scene (1b).
