Bing knew the Major's opinion of him; few things of this kind remain secret when men are constantly with each other, observe each other, rub shoulders, clash, and compromise. (S. Heym, ‘The Crusaders’, book III, ch. 2) — Бинг знал, какого мнения о нем майор; такие вещи трудно сохранить в тайне, когда люди варятся в одном котле, все время на глазах друг у друга, наблюдают друг за другом, ссорятся и кое-как улаживают ссоры.

An ancient couch, covered in greasy blue Genoa velvet, springs bursting exuberantly through the upholstery, rubbed shoulders with a shiny veneered radiogram. (D. Hewett, ‘Bobbin Up’, ch. I) — Ветхий диван, обитый потертым синим бархатом, с энергично рвущимися наружу пружинами стоял бок о бок с сияющей новой полировкой радиолой.
It was not only ancient Armenia with which I was concerned. I had fallen in love with the modern... Old and new are always rubbing shoulders... (D. Cusack, ‘Holidays Among the Russians’, ch. XXVI) — Меня интересовала не только старая Армения. Я полюбила новую Армению... Как всегда, старое и новое тесно переплетаются друг с другом.
