     ♦ Во всём городе... говорили, что он тогда, укатив с Грушенькой в Мокрое, "просадил в одну ночь и следующий за тем день три тысячи разом и воротился с кутежа без гроша, в чём мать родила" (Достоевский 1)....The whole town was saying that he had driven off to Mokroye with Grushenka then, "squandered three thousand at once in a night and a day, and came back from the spree without a kopeck, naked as the day he was born" (1a).

     ♦...B тот день Владу было не до шуток. Голодный, без копейки денег... он сразу сделался игрушкой в руках судеб, от которых, как известно, спасенья нет (Максимов 2). At the time... Vlad was in no mood for jokes. Hungry, without a kopeck to his name...he became a plaything in the hands of fate - from which, as we know, there is no salvation (2a).

     ♦ Как только приедет Мансур, нужно взять его за горло: пусть одолжит рублей триста, потом с издательством рассчитается. Всё-таки нету совести. Знает, что сижу без гроша... (Трифонов 5). As soon as Mansur arrives I'll have to take him by the throat. Let him lend me 300 rubles or so, and later on he can settle with the publishing house. That man really has no conscience. He knows that I'm stuck here without a penny. (5a).

     ♦ Объективно говоря, такие фигуры в революционной эмиграции неизбежны - эти неопрятные юноши с блуждающими глазами, недоразвитые... Они вечно голодны, без гроша... (Солженицын 5). Objectively speaking, there was no avoiding such figures in emigre revolutionary circles - slovenly, vacant-looking young men with unformed minds....They were everlastingly hungry and penniless (5a).
