general
Dacă priveşti prin gaura cheii la viaţa altora, ai toate şansele să uiţi de neajunsurile propriei vieţi. Nu contează că, de cele mai multe ori, ţi se oferă contrafaceri de toată jena. Ca întotdeauna, lumea are nevoie să fie minţită

sordid
Sau blatant, flat-out (Am. E.), outrageous.
"Contrafaceri" s-ar traduce mai bine prin "lies" sau unul dintre sinonimele sale, dat fiind contextul.

pitiful / pathetic
pitiful = evoking or deserving contempt by smallness, poor quality
pathetic = causing or evoking pity, sympathetic sadness, sorrow, etc.; pitiful;
Parerea mea este ca traducerile diferite vin din intelegerea diferita a sintagmei in limba romana; eu nu vad lagatura cu jena (embarrassment) ci pe cea cu micimea, cu patetismul gestului ...

Recunosc, noua ani departe de Romania m-au pus in ceva situatii ... inedite :-) generate de asimilarea si transferarea unor intelesuri in Ro in En si invers dar aveam impresia ca p-asta cu "toata jena" am retinut-o corect. Cu toate acestea, chiar si sugestia asker-ului este indreptata spre ideea de jenant ceea ce, pentru mine cel putin, inseamna altceva: penibil, stanjenitor. Obraji in flacari, cel putin! Variantele in engleza pentru jena fiind, dupa mine: "embarrassment", "uneasiness", "ashamed".Poate ma lamureste si pe mine cineva in privinta sensului corect al expresiei in limba romana.
