1) (невнятно, неразборчиво (говорить, бормотать и т. п.)) mutter; mumble; speak through one's teethЯ стал звать Максима Максимыча, говоря, что пора спать; он что-то пробормотал сквозь зубы. (М. Лермонтов, Герой нашего времени) — I called to remind Maxim Maximych that it was time to retire. He muttered something in reply.
2) (с неудовольствием, презрением (говорить, цедить, ворчать и т. п.)) speak (hiss, mutter, etc.) through clenched (gritted) teeth; mutter under one's breath; grind out the wordsХарактеристика была положительная. Подчёркивались высокие деловые качества Виктора Андреевича, его трудолюбие и принципиальность, но вообще тон характеристики был сдержанный, словно бы сквозь зубы. Видно, кому-то он крупно там насолил. (И. Грекова, Кафедра) — The reference was favourable. It stressed Victor Andreyevich's professional qualities, his industriousness and adherence to principles, but the general tone of the reference was restrained as if made through gritted teeth. Evidently he had done somebody a very bad turn there.
