20 как вкопанный
как (будто, словно, точно) вкопанныйразг.as though struck dumb (thunder-struck); stock-still; dead; rooted to the ground (spot); bolt upright; petrified; transfixedКрепко задумался Бульба. Вспомнил он, что велика власть слабой женщины, что многих сильных погубила она, что податлива с этой стороны природа Андрия; и стоял он долго как вкопанный на одном и том же месте. (Н. Гоголь, Тарас Бульба) — Bulba pondered deeply. He remembered how great is the power of weak women, how many strong men she has ruined, how susceptible Andriy's nature was on that side; and for some time he stood without moving from the spot as though struck dumb.
Ступив на третью ступень, она остановилась как вкопанная. Перед ней стоял высокий, статный мужчина в больших сапогах и полушубке. (А. Чехов, В рождественскую ночь) — When she put her foot on the third step she stopped as if rooted to the spot. Before her stood a tall, stately man in top-boots and a short fur coat.
Она вздрогнула, увидав нас, и встала как вкопанная в грязь под её ногами. (М. Горький, Двадцать шесть и одна) — She startled when she saw us and stood stock-still, her feet in a dirty puddle.
Якушонок взялся уже было за дверцу, но, увидав Антонину, остановился как вкопанный. (Л. Обухова, Глубынь-Городок) — Yakushonok was just opening the door to get in... He stopped, as though thunder-struck, when he caught sight of Antonina.
Машина скрылась за углом, очень быстро развернулась и помчалась по другой стороне обратно, подлетела и, взвизгнув, присела на рессорах, став как вкопанная. (Ф. Кнорре, Шорох сухих листьев) — The car went round a corner, turned quickly, dashed up to him and stopped dead with a squeal of brakes.
