Examples from texts

The walls were sparsely, but tastefully, decorated with a slab slate containing the fossilized remains of a fish, a photograph of myself shaking hands with a chimpanzee, and a stuffed bat.
На стенах висели немногочисленные, но со вкусом подобранные украшения: сланцевая плитка с окаменелыми остатками рыбы, фотография моей собственной персоны, пожимающей руку шимпанзе, и чучело летучей мыши.
