With Wireman it's snakes. With me it's bats.
Если бзик Уайрмана — змеи, то мой — летучие мыши.

Then, and only then, I would lie down with my face to the garden, and, covering myself over, so far as possible, from the mosquitos and bats, fall to gazing in front of me as I listened to the sounds of the night and dreamed of love and happiness.
И вот тогда-то я ложился на свою постель, лицом к саду, и, закрывшись, сколько возможно было, от комаров и летучих мышей, смотрел в сад, слушал звуки ночи и мечтал о любви и счастии.

She felt wounded and was crying, and she felt that the trees and the stars and even the bats were pitying her, and that the clock struck musically only to express its sympathy with her.
Она чувствовала себя обиженной и плакала, и ей казалось, что и деревья, и звезды, и летучие мыши жалеют ее; и часы пробили мелодично только для того, чтобы посочувствовать ей.

A whirl of bats frightened from slumber by their smoking torches flurried over them; as they sprang forward their feet slithered on stones rubbed smooth and slimed by the passing of the dragon.
Стайка летучих мышей, потревоженных дымом факелов, вихрем пронеслась у них над головой. Путники испуганно рванулись вперед и поскользнулись на камнях, сглаженных и покрытых слизью оттого, что по ним постоянно проползал дракон.

Carrie flinched away. At the same instant, a rack of softball bats in the corner fell over with a large, echoing bang.
Та шагнула назад, и в то же мгновение с раскатистым грохотом обрушилась в углу стойка с ракетками для софтбола.

"We cannot offer you a comfortable chair, adept, and the air swarms with vampire bats, so perhaps we should get the story quickly?"

They looked like bats, their wings fleshy and translucent, slowly gliding rather than flapping their wings.
Они походили на летучих мышей, их крылья были неоперенными и прозрачными, и они скорее плавно скользили по воздуху, нежели размахивали крыльями.

Once, I think it was sherry that time, I developed the theory that the fastest and most elusive animals in the world are bats.
Так вот, хватил я однажды как следует херес, кажется, был, — и втемяшилась мне такая теория. Будто самые быстрые и увертливые существа на свете — это летучие мыши…

But hideous rumors that Lee was killed, the battle lost, and enormous casualty lists coming in, fled up and down the quiet streets like darting bats.
Но зловещие слухи, что генерал Ли убит, сражение проиграно и потери убитыми и ранеными неисчислимы, словно обезумевшие от страха летучие мыши, носились над притихшим в ожидании городом.

Many of the windows were unglazed, and bats flew in and out like doves out of a dove-cote.
Многие окна не были застеклены, и летучие мыши выпархивали из них и залетали обратно, точно голуби на голубятне.
