У меня ушло много времени, пока я переварил эту новость. The technical name for it is a bit of a mouthful. Это такое техническое название, что язык сломишь/никак не выговоришь. - ср. русское "дикция" - полон рот каши; говорить с набитым ртом. We were chewing over what they had told us. Мы долго пережёвывали, что они нам сказали. It is a rather indigestible book. Это абсолютно неудобоваримая книга. The unpalatable truth is that too many schools are still failing their students. Неблаговидная/неблагоприятная правда состоит в том, что до сих пор во многих школах учеников плохо обучают/не готовят к дальнейшему образованию. He spoke bitterly about his family. Он с горечью говорил о своей семье. They made some very acid remarks. Они бросили несколько весьма ядовитых заечаний. Inside the card he found a sugarly poem. Внутри открытки он обнаружил слащавое стихотворение. She swore she'd make them eat their words. Она поклялась, что они еще подавятся своими словами. We sat and chewed the fat all evening. Весь вечер мы сидели и жевали эту жвачкуCHOICE OF WORDS:Язык и речь часто приравниваются к голосам и звукам животных, и образ животного и типичные для него звуки придают специфическую эмоциональную окраску восприятию речи, соответствующую коннотацию слову: He barked out series of orders. Он пролаял/прогавкал еще серию каких-то приказов. "I've so enjoyed our little chat" - she purred. "Как мы чудесно поговорили" - промурлыкала она. They were bleating about how unfair it all was. Они что-то невнятно блеяли/мямлили на тему о том, что все это несправедливо. Ben grunted his agreement. Бен недовольно сквозь зубы прорычал, что соглсен. The other teams were crowing about their victory. Остальные члены команды возбужденно и радостно кричали что-то по поводу своей победы. "What's wrong how? " - he bellowed. "Ну, что там еще? " - проревел он. She was braying about his latest successful sale. Она не уставала без конца вещать о его последней удачной распродаже. /Она все блеяла о его последних успехах в торговле. "You'll never come here again" - she hissed. "Ты здесь больше никогда не появишься" - прошипела она. -
