Das Gespräch konnte lange Minuten stocken, und in der Stille war es, als säße jeder einzelne da und dächte an seine Nachbarn und wüßte alles von ihnen, alles Böse.

The conversation could falter for long minutes, and in the silence, it was as if each one sat there thinking about his neighbors and knew everything about them, everything bad.

Wendy, thanks.

Mark - for me the word 'evil' conjures up the baddest of the bad. I don't think we are talking about any inherently evil traits here, but just all the mean and nasty and underhand things about a person.
Wie wäre es mit einfach 'bad'. ?
zum Beispiel: and knew everything about them, everything bad.
