The three boys had been trained as gunslingers, and what they lacked in experience they made up for with the keen eyes and reflexes of the young.Троих юношей с детских лет готовили в стрелки, и недостаток опыта они компенсировали острым взглядом и быстротой реакции, свойственными молодости.King, Stephen / Wizard and GlassКинг, Стивен / Колдун и КристаллКолдун и КристаллКинг, Стивен© Stephen King, 1997© Перевод, В.А.

I don't want to give you some shit about me being really keen to get killed for somebody, because I'm not.Я не хочу вешать вам лапшу на уши – мол, я только о том и мечтаю, чтобы быть убитым вместо кого-то, потому что это вовсе не так.Barker, Clive / The Damnation GameБаркер, Клайв / Проклятая играПроклятая играБаркер, Клайв© copyright 1985 by Clive Barker© 1994, Кэдмэн© перевод Д.

My firm is always keen to acquire such plots, for, as Your Honour is doubtless aware, the roots of the mandrake figure largely in the drug business.Мой торговый дом всегда с удовольствием покупает подобные участки. Ваша честь, конечно, знает, что корни этой травы высоко ценятся фармацевтами.Gulik, Robert van / The Emperor's PearlГулик, Роберт ван / Жемчужина императораЖемчужина императораГулик, Роберт ван© Robert H. van Gulik, 1963© Перевод, ЗАО "Издательство "Центрполиграф", 2002The Emperor's PearlGulik, Robert van© Robert H. van Gulik, 1963
But even admitting this was so, it is psychological subtlety, I suppose, that discerns that under certain circumstances I become as bloodthirsty and keen-sighted as a Caucasian eagle, while at the next I am as timid and blind as a mole.Но пусть, пусть это так и было: в том-то-де и тонкость психологии, что при таких обстоятельствах я сейчас же кровожаден и зорок, как кавказский орел, а в следующую минуту слеп и робок как ничтожный крот.Dostoevsky, Fyodor / The brothers KaramazovДостоевский, Фёдор / Братья КарамазовыБратья КарамазовыДостоевский, Фёдор© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1988The brothers KaramazovDostoevsky, Fyodor
She had looked forward to this evening with keen delight; it was stolen, chaperone-less, undreamed of at Stanhope Gate, where she was supposed to be at Soames'.Джун предвкушала много радости от этого вечера: они пошли в театр, никому не сказавшись, без провожатых; на Стэнхоп-Гейт и не подозревали об этом — там считалось, что Джун уехала к Сомсу.Galsworthy, John / The Man of PropertyГолсуорси, Джон / СобственникСобственникГолсуорси, Джон© Издание на русском языке.

You know where it finishes up, I..." Here the words, which had been fading ever since here it is, became inaudible even to Roland's keen ears.Ты знаешь, где он закончит свой путь, я... — голос начал стихать на словах «вот он», а тут стал неслышным даже для острого слуха Роланда.King, Stephen / The Dark tower 7: The Dark TowerКинг, Стивен / Темная башня 7: Темная башняТемная башня 7: Темная башняКинг, Стивен© Stephen King, 2004© Перевод.

At the end of that time, however, his memory of his wrongs and his craving for revenge were quite as keen as on that memorable night when he had stood by John Ferrier's grave.Несмотря на долгий срок, он так же остро чувствовал свое горе и так же жаждал мести, как в ту памятную ночь, когда он стоял у могилы Джона Ферье.Conan Doyle, Arthur / A Study in ScarletКонан Дойль, Артур / Этюд в багровых тонахЭтюд в багровых тонахКонан Дойль, Артур© 1966, издательство "Правда"© перевод Н.

Carrot was very keen on modernizing the Watch, and in some strange way sending a message via the tube was so much more modern than simply opening the door and shouting, which is what Mr Vimes did.Моркоу был ярым сторонником модернизации Стражи, и ему казалось куда более современным посылать сообщения по пневмотрубе, вместо того чтобы просто открывать дверь и орать, как обычно поступал командор Ваймс.Pratchett, Terry / Fifth ElephantПратчетт,Терри / Пятый элефантПятый элефантПратчетт,Терри© Перевод Н.

His head was elongated at the back, and looked flattened at the sides, so that his face seemed pointed, his forehead was high and narrow, but his features were small; his eyes were keen, his nose was small and sharp, his lips were long and thin.Голова его удлинена к затылку и как бы сплюснута с боков, так что лицо его кажется вострым. Лоб его высок и узок, но черты лица мелки; глаз вострый, носик маленький и востренький, губы длинные и тонкие.Dostoevsky, Fyodor / The possessedДостоевский, Фёдор / БесыБесыДостоевский, Фёдор© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1989The possessedDostoevsky, Fyodor
The First drew her new longsword, gripped it in both fists; and her eyes were as keen as the edges of the iron.Первая наконец-то достала из ножен свой новый меч и, подняв его обеими руками к потолку, звала всех в атаку; её глаза сверкали металлическим блеском, и взгляд их был суров и резок, как лезвие палаша.Donaldson, Stephen R. / The One TreeДональдсон, Стивен Р. / Первое деревоПервое деревоДональдсон, Стивен Р.The One TreeDonaldson, Stephen R.© 1982 by Stephen R.

Only the muffled hum and roar of the factory betrayed any signs of life; and overhead a fine, keen, chilly rain began falling.Одна фабрика глухо гудела и воняла, да сверху стали сеяться мелкие, иглистые капли холодного дождя.Тургенев, И.С. / НовьTurgenev, I.S. / Virgin soilVirgin soilTurgenev, I.S.© BiblioBazaar, LLCНовьТургенев, И.С.© Издательство "Правда", 1979
A keen ear might have detected a murmur from Mr. Fisher on the subject of a white hat, but Sir John Harker struck it more decisively: “Fisher was quite right.Человек с острым слухом мог бы расслышать, как мистер Фишер пробормотал что-то по поводу белого цилиндра, но сэр Джон Харкер вмешался в разговор более решительно: - Фишер был прав.Chesterton, Gilbert Keith / The Fad Of The FishermanЧестертон, Гилберт Кит / Причуда рыболоваПричуда рыболоваЧестертон, Гилберт Кит© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1980The Fad Of The FishermanChesterton, Gilbert Keith© 2009 by Seven Treasures Publications
