    «Нюся?» - «Она. - Он подмигнул мне. - Ничего девка?» — «Красивая». Возможно, я покривил душой, но что я мог еще сказать (Войнович 5). "Nyusa?" That's her, all right." He winked at me. "Good stuff?" "Beautiful," I said. Perhaps I was bending the truth, but what else could I do? (5a).
    «Он (председатель), дьявол, на нас взъелся... А из-за чего?..» Тут Лизка немного покривила душой. На самом-то деле она знала, из-за чего взъелся на них председатель (Абрамов 1). "That monster (the Chairman) is out to get us....And for what?..." Lizka was playing somewhat false here. She did in fact know why the Chairman was out to get them... (1a).
    Александров садится в сознании выполненного долга и избегнутой опасности. В самом деле, он не покривил душой, дурного не сказал, товарища не предал...

And indeed he has not spoken against his conscience or said anything shameful, he has not betrayed his comrade... (1a).

The blood rushed to Grigory's head as his eyes rested on his own home...."Aren't your eyes stinging?" Pantelei smiled as he looked round at his son, and Grigory confessed frankly and without dissembling, "Yes they are-that they are!" (3a).
    ...C кем и за кого мы? Давайте же поговорим по-товарищески, не кривя душой» (Шолохов 3). "Who are we with? Who do we support?...Let's talk it over in a spirit of comradeship without holding anything back" (3a).

    you can't poke your nose out of doors (out of the house etc) you can't set foot out of doors (out of the house etc)
    X не высовывал носа - X was sitting tight.
    Знаю я эти места, бывал и там. Сейчас там небось носа не высунешь, метет! (Аксёнов 1). I know those parts, I've been up there. I bet right now it's snowing so hard there you can't poke your nose out (1a).
    ...Нашему брату, хуторянину, высунуть нос из своего захолустья в большой свет - батюшки мои! - Это всё равно как, случается, иногда зайдёшь в покои великого пана: все обступят тебя и пойдут дурачить (Гоголь 5)....For a villager like me to poke his nose out of his hole into the great world is-merciful heavens! - just like what happens if you go into the apartments of some fine gentleman: they all come around you and make you feel like a fool... (5a).
    До самого генерального штаба ему не встретилось ни души... И хотя недавнее буйство, как показывал беглый осмотр, коснулось лишь нескольких улиц, все прочие горожане тоже сидели по норам и не высовывали носа. Верно, их распугал этот дальний грохот, теперь хорошо различимый (Терц 6). Not a soul did he meet all the way back to the H.Q. The recent violence, he now realised, had been confined to a few streets, but all the townsfolk - perhaps frightened by the distant rumbling which was growing louder-had crept into their lairs and were sitting tight (6a).
