    Было бы тягостным недоразумением и шло бы вразрез с прямыми намерениями автора, если бы полемика с прошлым о прошлом, проходящая через эту книгу, была истолкована как желание оживить литературное движение, скончавшееся ровным счётом восемнадцать лет назад (Лившиц 1). It would be an onerous misunderstanding and would go against the author's immediate intentions, if the polemics with the past about the past which run through this book, were to be interpreted as a wish to resurrect a literary movement which died exactly eighteen years ago (1a).
    О.М(андельштам) всегда знал, что его понятия идут вразрез с временем... но после «Четвёртой прозы» это его уже не страшило (Мандельштам 1). M(andelstam) always knew that his ideas were out of tune with the times...but after writing the "Fourth Prose" he was no longer worried about it (1a).
