In 1559 it looked as if all Europe might follow Germany’s example and become Protestant. Scandinavia and Switzerland had thrown off the Catholic yoke. England had done the same. There was no reason to believe the rest of Europe would not follow.

The industry will need to return cash to investors quickly to convince them to shrug off longterm concerns about the value of their holdings, said Capital’s Mr. Hernandez, who sold $1 billion in oil and gas stocks earlier this year.

stand-alone
niezależny; autonomiczny
Also, there’s the question of whether this is a stand-alone move for Canelo’s fights or DAZN will offer similar pay-per-view bundles for other fighters in the future. And will DAZN at some point charge regular subscribers extra for big fights the way ESPN+ charges subscribers extra for major UFC cards? DAZN might say now that this won’t happen. But this is the same network that, for two years, assured the public that “pay-per-view is dead.”

Gresham also knew how to precipitate financial crises among his enemies. Under Gresham’s guidance England created the wretched proletariat for which it became infamous through Dickens’ novels.
price point
pułap cenowy
Supporters of DAZN’s pay-per-view gambit say it shows that network executives are constructively evolving in their thinking and that the plan will encourage buyers to sample DAZN during the first four months of 2021. They also believe that the $69.99 price point will reinforce the value of DAZN’s one-year subscription offer.
to intoxicate
oszołomić; zatruć; odurzyć
Liberation from the stress of a double life was intoxicating, and the intensity of the intoxication demonstrates the stress it exerted on those troubled souls. An orgy of gluttony, drunkenness and lasciviousness followed this liberation of the northern man from the trammels of Roman culture.
transmission
tu: skrzynia biegów
But at the February 27, 2018, kick-off press conference for Canelo- Golovkin 2, Abel Sanchez (Gennady’s trainer) roiled the waters, saying, “I hope Canelo was able to see a transmission specialist for the rematch because in the first fight he was stuck in reverse. It behooves Canelo, with as much talking as he’s doing about his legacy and how he’s going to be remembered, to at least make it a fight.”
vivid
żywy; jaskrawy; barwny
In 1530, Oecolampadius accused Michael Servetus, the Unitarian Spanish physician who discovered circulation of the blood before Harvey, ofJudaizing.

to be at the cutting edge of something

By time of its founder’s death in 1564, Calvinism had replaced Anabaptism as the cutting edge of Protestant revolutionary thought.

przestępstwo, naruszenie (prawa), wykroczenie
transgression
Calvin’s critics insisted that by their strenuous insistence upon the effects of Adams’s transgression as compromising mankind at large, and Abraham’s readiness to sacrifice his only son, Calvin and his fellow Reformers had interspersed the religion of Christ with such an amount of Judaism that their Christianity was in many respects a relapse into the bonds of the Law from which Christ had set us free.
koloryzować coś (aby wyglądało korzystniej niż w rzeczywistości)
to put a spin on something
Putting a positive spin on things, DAZN can say, “Look, 2020 was a challenging year for everyone and it accelerated some longterm trends like more people cutting their cable cord and signing up for streaming services. Media models change quickly today. We’re in the right place at the right time. And don’t forget, Netflix has seen an extraordinary rise in the value of its stock despite having a lot of red ink on its balance sheet.”
back-to-back
jeden po drugim (one by one)
No, you wouldn’t have caught a peak version of Leonard chasing down a 42-year-old Pacquiao for a payday when there were bigger fish to fry. Sugar Ray would have taken on Crawford and Spence in a heartbeat and probably back-to-back, too.

bliskość, podobieństwo, pokrewieństwo
affinity
The Marranos had a disconcerting affinity for Protestantism and, unlike Luther, kept that affinity a secret in times of danger. Charles was surrounded by men, including clergy, who had secretly gone over to the other side.

In March 2020 as COVID-19 spread, DAZN suspended the payment of rights fees for events that were postponed and other content that wasn’t delivered to its platforms in nine countries around the world.

unheard of
niespotykany; bez precedensu
In August 1559, Pius IV was elected pope. He reconvened the Council of Trent, reassembling the church’s bishops to answer the challenges of the reformers and provide a program of reform.

And still, many people have never heard of them.

successive
kolejny
When the Council of Trent reconvened in January 1561, the English bishops weren’t there, because Elizabeth would not allow the papal delegates announcing the council to set foot on English soil. But 113 other church fathers were, and when they finished their deliberations on December 4, 1563, the church tied up over 17 years of loose ends, providing successive church leaders with a blueprint that would be remarkably successful in reversing much of the damage wrought over the past half century.

to live large
używać życia, żyć jak król, żyć wystawnie
Antwerp soon became the richest city in Europe, where merchants and usurers lived in palaces with regal pomp and luxury.

zachowywać coś, nie oddawać czegoś
to hold on to
Cecil’s anti-Catholic legislation made apparent the error of Charles and Philip’s policy toward the magnates.

ardent
Yates tries to make sense of the anomalies in Dee’s thought-Dee was a brilliant mathematician and geographer, but he was also a conjurer of angels who believed he was an ardent reformed Christian -by calling Dee a Christian Cabalist who supported the ‘more powerful’ philosophy implicit in Neoplatonism as understood by Pico, Reuchlin, Giorgi, Agrippa and as developed in the Renaissance occult tradition.

Now they spring more from internal cash-flow issues. Liquidity and employee health are just two of the areas we expect incentive plans to start tying metrics to.

to put a spin on something
koloryzować coś (aby wyglądało korzystniej niż w rzeczywistości)
Putting a positive spin on things, DAZN can say, “Look, 2020 was a challenging year for everyone and it accelerated some longterm trends like more people cutting their cable cord and signing up for streaming services.

And don’t forget, Netflix has seen an extraordinary rise in the value of its stock despite having a lot of red ink on its balance sheet.”

o tyle o ile; jeśli chodzi o
insofar as
But there are whispers that, if Fury-Joshua is held outside the United States or United Kingdom (for example, in the Middle East), Fury would be a free agent insofar as pay-per-view rights in America are concerned.

tradycja ustna, wiedza ludowa
Canelo is the brightest star in today’s boxing firmament. He has been fighting professionally for 15 years. The list of fighters he has beaten compares favorably with the victims on Julio Cesar Chavez’s ring ledger. Canelo’s quest for the most exalted place in Mexican ring lore is not quixotic.

kolec, część lub aspekt planu

mieć ważniejsze sprawy na głowie
No, you wouldn’t have caught a peak version of Leonard chasing down a 42-year-old Pacquiao for a payday when there were bigger fish to fry. Sugar Ray would have taken on Crawford and Spence in a heartbeat and probably back-to-back, too.
na własnej skórze, w dotkliwy sposób, na błędach (np. uczyć się, przekonać się)

to engender
zaowocować; być źródłem czegoś
DAZN won’t reveal the number of current subscribers that it has in the United States. But the network spent close to $10 million in license fees for a February 29, 2020, card headlined by Mikey Garcia vs. Jesse Vargas.

wanton
bezsensowny; rozpustny; nieokiełznany

affinity
bliskość, podobieństwo, pokrewieństwo

Once the lairds were assured they could appropriate the revenues accruing from monasteries and bishoprics, they turned a movement into a revolution by solemnly proclaiming themselves Lords of the Congregation and protectors of the Protestant Kirk.
to crest
wznosić się; wspinać się
For moviegoers who’ve been following the Romanian New Wave since it started cresting in the mid-aughts, Alexander Alexander Nanau’s documentary will play like a perfect nonfiction companion piece to the country’s bounty of fictional dramas and black, bleak comedies.
mumbo-jumbo

to behoove
wypadać (np. gdy wypada, żeby ktoś coś zrobił lub powiedział)
But at the February 27, 2018, kick-off press conference for Canelo- Golovkin 2, Abel Sanchez (Gennady’s trainer) roiled the waters, saying, “I hope Canelo was able to see a transmission specialist for the rematch because in the first fight he was stuck in reverse. It behooves Canelo, with as much talking as he’s doing about his legacy and how he’s going to be remembered, to at least make it a fight.”
niezależny; autonomiczny
stand-alone
Also, there’s the question of whether this is a stand-alone move for Canelo’s fights or DAZN will offer similar pay-per-view bundles for other fighters in the future. And will DAZN at some point charge regular subscribers extra for big fights the way ESPN+ charges subscribers extra for major UFC cards? DAZN might say now that this won’t happen. But this is the same network that, for two years, assured the public that “pay-per-view is dead.”
commensurate
proporcjonalny; współmierny
Fighters have been signed pursuant to poorly drawn contracts (e.g. DAZN failed to lock in a third fight between Canelo and Golovkin). And Matchroom has failed to deliver content commensurate with the license fees that it has paid to fighters.
in the early going
na początku
Golovkin looked flat in the early going. Or was it old? Either way, he didn’t fight the way the world is used to seeing him fight. A lot of that was due to Canelo. Looking back on their first encounter, Alvarez had realized that Golovkin was wary of his power.
thorough
dokładny; kompletny; gruntowny
The book provides a thorough discussion of the single-agent decision theory that forms the underpinning of game theory.
to tie up loose ends
zapiąć wszystko na ostatni guzik
When the Council of Trent reconvened in January 1561, the English bishops weren’t there, because Elizabeth would not allow the papal delegates announcing the council to set foot on English soil. But 113 other church fathers were, and when they finished their deliberations on December 4, 1563, the church tied up over 17 years of loose ends, providing successive church leaders with a blueprint that would be remarkably successful in reversing much of the damage wrought over the past half century.

back-to-back

to dig deep
kopać głębiej (sięgać po zasoby, których normalnie się nie używa)
After nine rounds, Golovkin looked to be fading. Canelo’s power was influencing him more than his power was influencing Canelo. It was clear that Gennady needed another gear to win. And he dug deep to find it.

outdo
This time the English bishops did not go along, and they were replaced by a motley assembly of political opportunists, who then replaced the loyal Catholic clergy with hacks, pothecaries, and dawbers who outdid the most venal of their medieval predecessors in seeing religion as an avenue for financial gain.

insofar as

But there are whispers that, if Fury-Joshua is held outside the United States or United Kingdom (for example, in the Middle East), Fury would be a free agent insofar as pay-per-view rights in America are concerned. Both Queensberry (Fury’s U.K. promoter) and Top Rank (his American promoter) have declined requests from The Ring that they clarify this issue.

zbiórka (zwolenników lub przeciwników czegoś), zgromadzenie ludzi (we wspólnym celu), wiec
rally
But Cecil and his gang of looters, emboldened by the inactivity of Charles and Philip, pressed their advantage as the powers behind the throne.

odział (a branch or division of a company or organization)
arm
Iberdrola, Enel and NextEra have taken different paths to morph from humdrum utilities into green growth companies.

to hold on to
zachowywać coś, nie oddawać czegoś
Cecil’s anti-Catholic legislation made apparent the error of Charles and Philip’s policy toward the magnates.

If Mary had immediately returned the monastery lands to their rightful owners, and if she had an heir, things might have turned out differently.
przydzielać większą część w początkowej fazie (np. o finansowaniu, o pracy)
to front-load
First it chose to front-load three years of awards and forgo future annual awards. Second the awards were delivered only if the firm hit certain share-price targets.
