         ♦ "Давно пора понять, что это всё - пустые фразы, которые можно толковать вкривь и вкось" (Зиновьев 2). "It's high time to realise that all that is just empty phrases which you can interpret in any way you like" (2a).
         ♦...[Троекуров] мало заботился о выигрыше им затеянного дела, Шабашкин за него хлопотал, действуя от его имени, стращая и подкупая судей и толкуя вкривь и впрямь всевозможные указы (Пушкин 1). [Troekurov] cared... little about winning the case he had initiated. It was Shabashkin who kept busy on his behalf, acting in his name, intimidating and bribing judges, and interpreting every possible edict every which way (1a).
