From a distance, that mound of light-colored sand had seemed discolored with streaks of red, and as he moved closer, young Hralien realized that the streaks weren’t discolored sand, but were actually moving upon the surface of the mound.
Светло-желтый холмик издали казался раскрашенным красноватыми полосами, и, только подойдя ближе, юный Хралайн понял, что полосы не были песком другого цвета, они Двигались по склонам песчаной кучи.

By that time, Mr. Pickwick and Sam Weller, perched on the outside of a stage-coach, were every succeeding minute placing a less and less distance between themselves and the good old town of Bury St. Edmunds.
А в это время мистер Пиквик и Сэм Уэллер, сидя на крыше пассажирской кареты, с каждой минутой поглощали пространство, отделявшее их от доброго старого города Бери Сент Эдмондс.

Broad shadows move across the plain like clouds across the sky, and in the inconceivable distance, if you look long and intently at it, misty monstrous shapes rise up and huddle one against another...
Широкие тени ходят по равнине, как облака по небу, а в непонятной дали, если долго всматриваться в нее, высятся и громоздятся друг на друга туманные, причудливые образы...

Arms twined, circling slowly, they sang, and somewhere in the cold distance of morning the town clock finished out its chimes and quieted.
Переплетя руки, гости пошли медленным хороводом, а где-то в зябких утренних далях городские часы пробили последний удар и замолчали.

"I have reason to think that there is an unfrequented ruin at no great distance from us," said Griffith; "perhaps we might find both shelter and privacy among its deserted walls."
— Мне кажется, что недалеко от нас находятся заброшенные развалины, — сказал Гриффит. — Может быть, мы обретем и приют и уединение в их забытых стенах.

We felt that the distance between a boy still taking lessons under a tutor and a man who danced at real, grown-up balls was too great to allow of their exchanging mutual ideas.
Мы чувствовали слишком большую разницу - между мальчиком, к которому ходят учителя, и человеком, который танцует на больших балах, - чтобы решиться сообщать друг другу свои мысли.

Sometimes he would mount Malek-Adel and ride out, not to see his neighbours--he avoided them, as of old--but across their lands, past their homesteads... for them, poor fools, to admire him from a distance!
Бывало, сядет он на Малек-Аделя и поедет – не по соседям, – он с ними по-прежнему не знался, – а через их поля, мимо усадеб… Полюбуйтесь, мол, издали, дураки!

And once--strange phantoms!--I saw far out upon the shine, and very small and distant, three long black warships, without masts, or sails, or smoke, or any lights, dark, deadly, furtive things, traveling very swiftly and keeping an equal distance.
Как-то раз далеко у сверкающего горизонта появились, словно призраки, три длинных черных военных судна без мачт, без парусов, без дыма, без огней, таинственные, темные и смертоносные. Они шли очень быстро, строго держа дистанцию.
