His father peered around covertly to gauge the mood and sensing that the assembly was not entirely happy with this rather direct criticism he decided to forestall any protests
Ja kui see, mis sa ütled on tõsi, oled sa ainult ennetanud kutset.
And if what you say is true, you have merely forestalled the inevitable.
Ja need noored seadusemehed, need nooragendid, nad kõik on takistanud... mõne kuriteo sündimist. Ja nad on ennetanud paljusid kuritegelikke kavatsusi.
And these junior crime fighters here, these Junior G-men, has, every one of them, stopped some crime from occurring and forestalled an entry into the black book of criminal deeds.
Ning need noored kuritegevuse vastu võitlejad, siin, sellest Junior G-men'i üksusest, on igaüks, peatanud kuritöö toimepanemise, ning ennetanud sissekannet, musta kuritegelike tegude raamatusse.
And these junior crime fighters here, these Junior G-men, has, every one of them, stopped some crime from occurring and forestalled an entry into the black book of criminal deeds.
