    Одно обстоятельство чуть было не разбудило его (Тентет-никова), чуть было не произвело переворота в его характере. Случилось что-то похожее на любовь. Но и тут дело кончилось ничем (Гоголь 3). There was one thing that nearly awakened him (Tentetnikov) from his slumber and nearly brought about a complete transformation of his character. It was something very much like love. But this too came to nothing (3a). There was one circumstance, however, that all but awakened Tentetnikov, all but brought about a transformation in his character. He experienced something like love, but here too things came to naught (3c).

    "...Мы приходим однажды к нашим девушкам. Мою звали Катрин, я её Катей называл, а молоденькую звали Гретой... Мне нравится моя Катя, и я, чувствую, ей нравлюсь, а эти вообще без ума друг от друга» (Искандер 5). "...One time we came to see our girls. Mine was named Katrin-I called her Katya-and the young one was named Greta....I liked my Katya, and she liked me, I could feel it, and the other two were just plain crazy about each other" (5a).
    «Откуда вы, Обломов? He знает Дашеньки! Весь город без ума, как она танцует!» (Гончаров 1). "Where have you been, Oblomov? You don't know Dashenka? Why, the whole town is crazy about her dancing" (1a).
    Великолепный математик был у нас в Юрятине. В двух гимназиях преподавал, в мужской и у нас... Девочки были без ума от него, все в него влюблялись» (Пастернак 1). "We had an excellent (math) teacher in Yuriatin, he taught both in the boys' school and in ours....All the girls were mad about him, they all fell in love with him" (1a).

    Мне была совершенно ясна бессмыслица гартвиговских авантюр, но иные интеллигенты, и в особенности дамы с воспалённым воображением, были от них без ума (Трифонов 5). The absurdity of Gartvig's adventures was perfectly clear to me, but some intellectuals-and especially certain ladies with overly vivid imaginations-went wild over them (5a).
    ...He я один влюбился в неё: все мужчины, посещавшие её дом, были от ней без ума... (Тургенев 3)....1 was not the only one to have fallen in love with her: all the men who visited the house were madly in love with her... (3a).
