Срамота какая! - Будешь сразу пилить? - Счастливо улыбаясь, спросил Володя. - С ходу? (Ю. Герман, Дорогой мой человек) — 'You need a shave, you've let yourself go. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?' 'Nagging already? Starting right in?' Volodya asked with a happy smile.
Работа завершалась как нельзя удачливо. С ходу, без подсчётов и проб Чижегову удалось кое-что уточнить в схеме, и последние претензии комиссии и завода отпали. (Д. Гранин, Дождь в чужом городе) — The work could not have gone better. At the first try, without any calculations, he succeeded in verifying something in the circuit and the commission's last remaining quibbles were eliminated.
- Так что же вы, пожилые люди, сами меня с ходу в разбойники записали? Вам говорят - бухгалтер, а вы, можно сказать, хихикаете. (В. Шукшин, Калина красная) — 'Well, why do you elderly people, treat me as a bandit right from the start? You were told I'm a book-keeper and all you do is smirk at the idea, so to speak.'

Локтев время от времени поглядывал на спидометр, примерно он знал, на каком километре должна начаться болотина. Предугадать что-либо заранее было невозможно: марь не река, её с ходу не возьмёшь. (В. Мурзаков, Мы уже ходим, мама...) — Loktiev kept glancing at the speedometer. He knew approximately when the marsh would begin. It was impossible to guess in advance what it would be like. The marsh wasn't a river. You couldn't take it in one fell swoop.
