Examples from texts

They didn’t mind so much when I was a dumb logger and got into a hassle; that’s excusable , they say, that’s a hard-workin’ feller blowing off steam, they say.
Когда я был глупым дровосеком и попадал в драку, они не очень-то возражали — это, мол, извинительно, рабочий, мол, человек, он так разряжается.

The engine was blowing off steam nearly in Dick's ear; a cold wind of the desert danced between his legs; he was hungry, and felt tired and dirty-so dirty that he tried to brush his coat with his hands.
Паровоз выпускал свои пары чуть не прямо в лицо Дику и пронзительно свистел под самым его ухом. Холодный ветер пустыни дул по его ногам. Он был голоден и чувствовал себя усталым и разбитым и до того испачканным, что принялся рукой отряхивать одежду.
