Translation for "derisorily" to german
Derisorily
Translation examples
His voice was clear and ringing, not Scots, full of what Roland might inaccurately have called toffee-nosed sounds, or plummy sounds, sounds he had spent his childhood learning to imitate derisorily, hooting, curtailed, drawling, chipping sounds that prickled his non-existent hackles with class hostility.
    Seine Stimme klang deutlich und kraftvoll, nicht schottisch, Töne, die Roland unzutreffend als hochnäsig bezeichnet hätte, Töne, die er als Kind nachzuäffen gelernt hatte, um sie ins Lächerliche zu ziehen, Töne, die ihn bei aller Sanftmut mit kämpferischem Klassenantagonismus erfüllten.
