Examples from texts

He could hear the slapping of the river against the jetty and the scream of a benighted sea gull fleeing inland from the choppy waters of the Solent.
Он слышал, как воды реки бьются о мол, слышал крики чаек, летевших на землю с бушевавшего Те-Солента…

Maybe especially in the dark, because he'd rambled through its benighted streets with Janey often enough to know it as well as he did his own hometown of Deschenes, in West Quebec.
А может быть, именно благодаря темноте – ведь под покровом ночи он бродил с Джейни по этим извилистым улочкам так часто, что теперь знал Маусхол как свой родной Дешанэ в западном Квебеке.

He would have admonished her, but she struck him as so savage and benighted; and for the first time he realized that she had no religion.
Он хотел прочесть ей наставление, но она показалась ему такою дикою, темною, и в первый раз за всё время, пока она была у него, он сообразил, что у нее нет никакой веры.

The lurking presence of Lorimer and his benighted followers is like a black cloud hanging over Dainnsknip.
Лоример и его верные слуги рыщут неподалеку, и их присутствие черной тучей тяготеет над Даиннскнипом.

Oh, poor benighted barbarians, for whom standards in art are non-existent, and artists are something of the same species as the strong man Rappo: there's a foreign prodigy, they say, can lift fifteen stone in one hand, but our man can lift thirty!
О, убогие дурачки-варвары, для которых не существует преемственности искусства, и художники нечто вроде Раппо: чужак, мол, шесть пудов одной рукой поднимает, а наш - целых двенадцать!

And all this life in the forest, in the snow, with drunken peasants, with coarse oaths, seemed to him as savage and benighted as this girl, and instead of giving her a lecture he only waved his hand and went back into the room.
И вся эта жизнь в лесу, в снегу, с пьяными мужиками, с бранью представилась ему такою же дикой и темной, как эта девушка, и, вместо того, чтобы читать ей наставление, он только махнул рукой и вернулся в комнату.

When Gibbon-Raver had touched her, part of her had leaped up in recognition and lust: her benighted powerlessness had responded to power.
Когда Гиббон-Опустошитель прикоснулся к ней, какая-то часть её существа радостно затрепетала, жадно принимая его: погруженная во мрак бессилия, она жаждала власти и отозвалась.
