      — Колбаса́ отврати́тельная, — помо́рщился он, отре́зывая себе́ кусо́чек. — В зде́шней ла́вочке продаю́т дрянь, но деру́т ужа́сно… Я бы вам одолжи́л кусо́чек, но вы едва́ ли согласи́тесь ку́шать. Хоти́те?
      — Kolbasá otvratítelʹnaja, — pomórščilsja on, otrézyvaja sebé kusóček. — V zdéšnej lávočke prodajút drjanʹ, no derút užásno… Ja by vam odolžíl kusóček, no vy jedvá li soglasítesʹ kúšatʹ. Xotíte?
      "The sausage is disgusting," he said, frowning and cutting himself off a little bit. "In the shop here they sell you rubbish and fleece you horribly. . . . I would offer you a piece, but you would scarcely care to consume it. Will you have some?"
