Examples from texts

Right now, his fellow first-year novice, Baldwin, had finished digging dirt out from under his nails with his shaving knife and now he stuck that knife into the minute gap between two warping planks.
В этот момент его товарищ по первому году послушания, Болдуин, закончил выковыривать бритвенным ножом грязь из‑под ногтей и воткнул лезвие в крошечную щель между двумя досками.

There was digging and ditching and yamplanting, and a dozen other things to be done, so we were busy enough all day; though in the evening we had a little time to ourselves.
Мы рыли землю, проводили канализацию, работали на бататовых плантациях, и было еще много других работ, так что весь день у нас был занят, зато вечер принадлежал нам.

Then, uncoiling, his elbow digging into the ground, hurling his hips upward, he felt the jolt of impact all the way down his suddenly straightened left leg, all the way into his head.
Он стремительно выбросил вперед и вверх ноги, нанося внезапный удар, и ощутил, что угодил часовому в голову.

"Well, if he'll just stop digging where he shouldn't, he can run all he wants," said Mother.

"Come on, Melantha," Caroline said soothingly, digging her feet into the pavement as best she could, trying not to make a scene of this.

He fell asleep wondering if the roots digging into his ribs would make him dream, and woke at Lans touch on his shoulder, ribs aching, and grateful that if any dreams had come he did not remember them.
Ранд уснул с мыслью о том, какой сон ему приснится от корней, вдавившихся под ребра, и проснулся от прикосновения Лана к его плечу, - ребра ныли, и благодаря этому никаких снов, даже если они и были, юноша не помнил.

'Sparhawk,' Ulath objected, 'that battlefield is immense. All the Knights of the Church could spend the rest of their lives digging there and still not find the crown.'
Но поле той битвы огромно, и, боюсь всем Рыцарям Храма придется потратить всю оставшуюся им жизнь, перекапывая поле вдоль и поперек, да и то вряд ли кто найдет эту корону.
