опустошать, разорятьIn a very few minutes Mr. Swiveller was fast asleep, dreaming that he had married Nelly Trent and come into her property, and that his first act of power was to lay waste the market-garden of Mr. Cheggs and turn it into a brick-field. (Ch. Dickens, ‘The Old Curiosity Shop’, ch. VIII) — Не прошло и нескольких минут, как мистер Свивеллер уже крепко спал и видел во сне, будто он женился на Нелли Трент, вступил во владение всеми ее капиталами и, достигнув могущества, прежде всего превратил в пустырь огород мистера Чеггса, а на его месте построил кирпичный завод.
The mining companies haven't spent a penny to make up for the way they've laid waste the country-side. (K. S. Prichard, ‘Golden Miles’, ch. II) — Горные компании не потратили ни пенни, чтобы наладить жизнь в этом краю, который они сами и опустошили.
