     ♦ Одам инстинктивно боялся перемен... Убежав из племени, совершив поступок грандиозный и революционный, он пытался тотчас как бы забыть начисто об этом и жить как можно более похоже на то, как жилось ему раньше. На первых порах он стал даже более косным, чем был прежде (Обухова 1). Odam instinctively feared any changes....Having left the tribe, having committed a stupendous, revolutionary act, he tried, as it were, to forget it as completely as he could and live as much as possible as he had lived before. In the beginning, he had even become more rigid in his ways than he had been before (1a).

     ♦ Я до того испугался неожиданного появления отца, что даже на первых порах не заметил, откуда он шёл и куда исчез (Тургенев 3). I was so frightened by my father's unexpected appearance that at first I did not even notice whence he had come or where he went (3c).
