с неприкосновенным,

Russian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
Taken from the book Стрекоза, увеличенная до размеров собаки by Olga Slavnikova, from the following paragraph


Вообще так сложилось в жизни Катерины Ивановны, что с самогодетства она никогда не оставалась одна.
На работе ли, в троллейбусе,на улице — всюду были люди, они смотрели за ней, требовалиприготовить деньги без сдачи, пробить абонемент, перепечатать докладк понедельнику. Любая вещь вокруг Катерины Ивановны могла бытьпередвинута без нее, она ни за одну не отвечала. В сущности, она никогда не оказывалась наедине с неприкосновенным, цельным миром или хотя бы мирком — так, чтобы он обратился к ней всеми своимичертами и чтобы у нее в душе что-то ответно стало, прояснилось, явилосебя.

Dec 14, 2010 14:20: Oleksiy Markunin changed "Level" from "Non-PRO" to "PRO"

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Jānis Greivuls, Mark Berelekhis, Oleksiy Markunin

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Privileged ? Could you use 'privileged' in this context?
