         ♦ Недалеко от Доброго огромная толпа оборванных, обвязанных и укутанных чем попало пленных гудела говором, стоя на дороге подле длинного ряда отпряженных французских орудий (Толстой 7) Near Dobroe an immense crowd of tattered prisoners buzzing with talk, and wrapped and bandaged in anything they had been able to get hold of, were standing in the road beside a long row of unharnessed French guns (7b).
         ♦ Дельце, о котором просил хозяин, касалось его сбежавшей жены. Начал он издалека, говоря, что он уже не мальчик, чтобы есть что попало и как попало, а человек в летах, и ему нужен человек, который мог бы приготовить и подать ему пишу (Искандер 4). The favor that [our host] Omar had requested concerned his runaway wife. He began in a roundabout way, saying that he was no longer a boy, to eat any old thing fixed any old way; he was a man getting on in years, he needed a person who could prepare and serve his food for him (4a).
         ♦...Он [Чернышевский] делал вид, что несёт что попало, ради одной пустой и тёмной болтовни, - но в полосах и пятнах слов, в словесном камуфляже, вдруг проскакивала нужная мысль (Набоков 1).... Cherny shevski would pretend he was chattering about anything that came to mind, just for the sake of incoherent and vacant prattle-but suddenly, striped and spotted with words, dressed in verbal camouflage, the important idea he wished to convey would slip through (1a).
