Greebo strolled in alongside her with the gentle swagger that makes women thoughtful and men's knuckles go white.Матушка неторопливо приближалась к ним в сопровождении Грибо. Тот двигался с мягкой вкрадчивостью, от которой женщины мгновенно начинали о чем-то размышлять, а у мужчин чесались костяшки пальцев.Pratchett, Terry / MaskeradeПратчетт,Терри / МаскарадМаскарадПратчетт,Терри© Перевод С.

I glanced at him across the table, his nails chipped and black with engine oil, his knuckles scraped, the smells of the gas station--dust, sweat, and gasoline--on his clothes.Как он изменился! Натруженные, загрубевшие руки, обломанные ногти черны от машинного масла, одежда провоняла пылью, потом и бензином – заправка есть заправка.Hosseini, Khaled / The Kite RunnerХоссейни, Халед / Бегущий за ветромБегущий за ветромХоссейни, ХаледThe Kite RunnerHosseini, Khaled© 2003 by Khaled Hosseini

Then he was licking his bruised knuckles and looking at the bare stick, while the skull lay in two pieces, its grin now six feet across.Потом он сосал разбитые кулаки, смотрел на голую палку, а череп, расколотый надвое, ухмылялся теперь уже огромной шестифутовой ухмылкой.Golding, William / Lord of the fliesГолдинг, Уильям / Повелитель мухПовелитель мухГолдинг, Уильям© Е.

I remember, too, late that night, beating the bushes with my clenched fist until my knuckles were gashed and bleeding from the broken twigs.Помню также, как поздно ночью я колотил кулаками по кустам до тех пор, пока не исцарапал все руки о сломанные сучья.Wells, Herbert George / Time MachineУэллс, Герберт / Машина ВремениМашина ВремениУэллс, Герберт© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1972Time MachineWells, Herbert George© Evans Brothers Limited 2002
She shoved her books into her locker, scraping her knuckles in the process.
