Одно и то же, одно и то же, и мне кажется, что это внимание знакомых, похвалы, восхищение - всё это обман, меня обманывают, как больного, и я иногда боюсь, что вот-вот подкрадутся ко мне сзади, схватят и повезут, как Поприщина, в сумасшедший дом. (А. Чехов, Чайка) — Trigorin. The same old thing, all the time. And I have the feeling that all this attention from others, all this praise and adulation, is nothing but deception. I'm being deceived, like a sick person, and I'm sometimes afraid that someone will steal up on me from behind and carry me off to an asylum, like Poprishchin.2) разг., неодобр.

И там сразу же начинается сумасшедший дом. Пятиклассники эти... от смеха хватаются за животы, а девчонки, эдакие дуры, тоже фыркают в платочки да ещё подначивают ребят. (А. Рекемчук, Мальчики) — Well, so he turned up to take his first lesson. It was fifth-formers he found himself up against. He had a madhouse on his hands right from the start. Those fifth-formers... clutched their stomachs in helpless laughter and the girls, foolish creatures, started giggling away and, worse still, kept egging the boys on.
