Candles whirled overhead - hundreds of them, thousands of them - dangling by their wicks from an endless belt of complex wooden links that switch-backed its way up and down the long hall.
Над ними скользили свечи — сотни, тысячи свечей, — они болтались на своих фитилях, которые крепились где-то внутри бесконечной вереницы деревянных платформ, кружащейся по длинному цеху.

THE ROOM WAS DIM, ONLY A FEW CANDLES SITTING ON THE MANTELPIECE, CASTING A PALE LIGHT ON PHILOMENA WHO SLEPT SOUNDLY IN THE GREAT BED, HER CHEEKS AND LIPS ROSY AND HER GOLDEN HAIR TANGLED ON THE FLUFFY PILLOWS.
В комнате стоял полумрак, лишь несколько свечей на каминной полке озаряли герцогиню, крепко спящую на огромной кровати. Ее щеки и губы были розовыми, а золотистые волосы разметались по пышным подушкам.

FROM ANOTHER BUNDLE CAME A FLASK OF WINE AND TWO MUGS, THEN A TIGHTLY ROLLED SHAWL, A CLOAK, THREE CANDLES, FLINT AND STEEL, AND A BOOK.
Из другого появились фляга с вином и две кружки, плотно свернутая шаль, плащ, три свечи, огниво с кремнем и книга.

A fire glowed in the fireplace; long, tapered candles emitted a light fragrance that mingled with the soothing scent of herbs.
В камине горел огонь, длинные конусовидные свечи испускали легкий аромат, который смешивался с запахом трав.

Under the vaults of old chambers there are oak tables and heavy chairs with high carved backs. The walls of the restaurant are decorated with ornaments and frescoes, wall lamps are shaped as candlesticks with burning candles.
Под сводами старинных палат расставлены дубовые столы, тяжелые стулья с высокими резными спинками, стены расписаны узорами и фресками, настенные светильники выполнены в виде подсвечников со свечами.

I placed his arm-chair by the chimney-corner: I wheeled the table near it: I let down the curtain, and had the candles brought in ready for lighting.
Я придвинула кресло поближе к огню, подкатила столик, опустила занавеси и приказала внести свечи, чтобы зажечь их, как только мой хозяин приедет.

At night I had no light, I lay in the dark and I wouldn't earn money for candles.
Ночью огня нет, лежу в темноте, а на свечи не хочу заработать.

He saw candles burning softly through a liquid haze, pinpricks of yellow brightness like islands on a dark sea.
Видел свечи, их слабый свет доходил до него сквозь колеблющуюся пелену — точки желтого света, словно островки в океане мрака.
