[VP; impers]

=====

⇒ s.o. experiences the sensation of having various spots, colors, or images race and change quickly before his eyes:

- у X-a рябит в глазах( от Y-ов) - X sees spots (before his eyes);

- Ys <spots, things> are flashing < dancing> before X's eyes;

- Ys dazzle the eye;

- X is dazzled (by Ys);

- Ys make X's head spin < swim>.

     ♦ До шести часов, когда уже зарябило в глазах, Ребров просидел в библиотеке, исписав страниц двадцать - боже мой, для чего же? - разных фактов и соображений, почерпнутых из жизни Ивана Гавриловича и из его сочинений. Потом пошёл в кафе "Националы" ужинать (Трифонов 1). By six that evening he had managed to fill up some twenty pages of a notebook - my God, what on earth for?! - with various facts and ideas drawn from Ivan Gavrilovich's life and writings. Then, as spots were already dancing before his eyes, he left the library and set off to have supper in the cafe of the Hotel National (1a).

     ♦ В лавках и перед лавками бурлила такая жизнь, что звенело в ушах, в глазах рябило (Булгаков 5). In the shops and in the street before them life ran riot, dazzling the eye and setting up a ringing in the ears (5a).

     ♦ Она вспомнила, что маленький порывистый грек ей нравился всегда... Только от его мельтешения у нее, бывало, рябило в глазах... (Искандер 3). She recalled that she had always liked the impetuous little Greek....The only trouble was that his endless flitting about used to make her head spin (3a).
