    - Жалко вам было арестантов? - Их легко пожалеть, такие есть ребята, до удивления! Иногда смотришь и думаешь: а ведь я ему в подмётки не гожусь, хоть и начальник над ним! Умные, черти, ловкие.. (М. Горький, В людях) — 'Did you feel sorry for those convicts?' 'It's easy to feel sorry for them. Such fine fellows. Very fine indeed! Sometimes I'd look at them and think: I'm not fit to black your boots, and here I am, your keeper. Smart devils, and foxy.'

    Затем удалось подняться ещё на одну ступеньку той лестницы, которая приближала Эллочку к сияющему раю, где прогуливаются дочки миллиардеров, не годящиеся домашней хозяйке Щукиной даже в подмётки. (И. Ильф, Е. Петров, Двенадцать стульев) — Next she contrived to surmount one more step on the ladder which was to bring Ellochka nearer to that refulgent paradise wherein promenaded American billionaires' daughters, unfit to tie the shoelaces of Shchukina, that mistress of a household.

    - Единственное, что имеете, - животноводство, и то нашему и в подмётки не годится. (В. Овечкин, Гости в Стукачах) — 'The one other thing you've got is your livestock, and it can't hold a candle to ours.'
