Sentence examples of "unctuous" in English
To many engineers, geologists, and Mars enthusiasts, the whole project of planetary protection simply represents an expensive set of precautions taken in the name of extremely low-probability events. (To hear some critics talk, you’d think that Conley is to NASA what the unctuous EPA agent Walter Peck was to the Ghostbusters.)
Для большинства инженеров, геологов и энтузиастов полета на Марс весь проект планетарной защиты представляет собой систему чрезмерно дорогих мер предосторожности на крайне маловероятный случай (послушать некоторых критиков, так Конли для НАСА — то же самое, что вкрадчивый сотрудник агентства по защите окружающей среды Уолтер Пек для охотников за приведениями).
