Käännökset

englanti

ahdasmielinen selfish Selfish, petty; constrained in thought, limited in scope of consideration, not mindful of the big picture.
1859, w:Washington Irving|Washington Irving, Life of George Washington,Vol. 1, ch. 22:

Dinwiddie was evidently actuated by the petty pique of a narrow and illiberal mind, impatient of contradiction, even when in error. . . . It may excite a grave smile at the present day to find Washington charged by this very small-minded man with looseness in his way of writing to him.
1907, w:Gilbert Keith Chesterton|Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Utopia of Usurers and other Essays, ch. 26: The Tyranny of Bad Journalism:
Consider the case of the solemn articles in praise of the men who own newspapers—men of the type of Cadbury or Harmsworth, men of the type of the small club of millionaires. . . . These few small-minded men publish papers to praise themselves.
2007 Feb. 1, w:Ta-Nehisi Coates|Ta-Nehisi Paul Coates, "http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1584736,00.html Is Obama Black Enough?," Time (retrieved 22 April 2014):
That someone given the escape valve of biraciality would choose to be black, would see some beauty in his darker self and still care more about health care and public education than reparations and Confederate flags is just too much for many small-minded racists, both black and white, to comprehend.

Sitaatit

  • "Vellu Ketola (w:Veli-Pekka Ketola|Veli-Pekka Ketola) näytti hyvin trimmatulta huippu-urheilijalta. Minä taas hyvinleikatussa liituraitapuvussanikin enemmän ryhävalaalta kuin entiseltä ammattiurheilijalta. Hyppäsin vaakaan. Oh my God! Se näytti 111 kiloa!"

  • "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." Thank you, guys. So proud of you all. Coaching this team is a tremendous honour."

  • "You are so small! It's funny to me! (Olette niin pieniä! Se on hauskaa minulle!)"
