    (author's usage) Глядя на быстрые руки невестки, бесшумно скользящие над столом, Василий, по их натруженной огрубелости, безошибочно определил, во сколько обходится ей благополучие и гостеприимство мужниного дома: «Не задаром ты, Мария Ильинична, здесь свой хлеб ешь, ой не задаром!» (Максимов 3). Watching his sister-in-law's quick hands darting silently about the table, Vasilii Vasilievich could tell from their work-worn roughness what a price she had had to pay for the prosperity and hospitality of her husband's home. "You earn your keep all right, Maria Ilyinichna," he thought (3a).
    (Соня:) Я и дядя Ваня работали без отдыха, боялись потратить на себя копейку и всё посылали тебе... Мы не ели даром хлеба! (Чехов 3). (S.:) Uncle Vanya and I have worked without rest, afraid to spend a kopeck on ourselves, we sent everything to you....We earned our daily bread (3a).
    Сидим тут, бюрократы проклятые, бумажки перекладываем, ничего не смотрим, хлеб зря едим!» (Солженицын 12). "We sit here like a damned lot of bureaucrats trading papers, not seeing past the ends of our noses - we're not worth our salt" (12a).
