1836, Александр Пушкин , “Глава первая”, in Путешествие в Арзрум; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Journey to Arzrum, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2016:Со стыдо́м принуждё́н я был оста́вить ва́жно-шутли́вый тон и съе́хать на обыкнове́нные европе́йские фра́зы. Вот уро́к на́шей ру́сской насме́шливости.- So stydóm prinuždjón ja byl ostávitʹ vážno-šutlívyj ton i sʺjéxatʹ na obyknovénnyje jevropéjskije frázy. Vot urók nášej rússkoj nasméšlivosti.
- Embarrassed, I was forced to abandon my pompously jocular tone and descend to ordinary European phrases. This is a lesson for our Russian love of mockery.
