WAYS OF DOING THINGS:

Глагол to move в значении "двигаться" называет действие, не уточная характера самого движения. Конкретизация действия передаётся рядом других глаголов, таких как to stir, to squirm, to wriggle, to writhe.

To stir - "шевелиться, пошевелить, сделать лёгкое движение": the sleeping child stirred and open his eyes спящий ребёнок зашевелился и открыл глаза; suddenly one of the boys stirred and started up вдруг один из мальчиков зашевелился и резко поднялся но ноги; I was afraid to stir and draw attention to myself я боялся пошевелиться и привлечь к себе внимание.

To squirm - "поёжиться, слегка передёрнуться всем телом, особенно если чувствуешь неудобство или боль": keep still, stop squirming, said the doctor as he tried to examine the little boy's ear сиди смирно, перестань ёжиться, сказал врач, пытаясь осмотреть ухо мальчика; Diana squirmed wildly as Jeff ticked her Диану сильно передёрнуло, когда Джефф пощекотал её.

To wriggle - "сделать лёгкое движение телом для того, чтобы занять какое-либо положение, чтобы протиснуться в отверстие; шевелить": to wriggle one's toes шевелить пальцами ног; the dog wriggled under the fence and escaped into the street собака протиснулась за забор и убежала на улицу; it is possible for a thief to wriggle into any gap larger than a human head воришка может протиснуться в любое отверстие больше человеческой головы; he will think you have flea if you wriggle like that он подумает, что у тебя блохи, если ты будешь так ёжиться/дёргаться/ёрзать.

To writhe - "извиваться всем телом; раскачиваться всем телом из стороны в сторону, особенно от сильной боли; корчиться от боли": as he received each blow he writhed on the favor and cried out c каждым ударом он извивался на полу всем телом и кричал; she writhed in pain она корчилась от боли всем телом
