Examples from texts

Try as she might to intensify that longing, summon it to her aid, lean on it, the feeling of distaste only grew stronger.
Теперь она старалась вспомнить как можно явственнее свою тогдашнюю мечту, воскресить ее, опереться на нее. Тщетно. Ощущение неприязни было сильнее.

I suddenly felt that I would take a fearful risk at once; moreover, I had a longing to do something more, to make another bet, to carry off some thousands from some one.
Я вдруг почувствовал, что страшно сейчас пойду рисковать; кроме того, мне хотелось еще что-нибудь предпринять, предложить еще какое-нибудь пари, отсчитать кому-нибудь несколько тысяч.

A sharper desire drew him at this moment than his longing for al'Thor's death, or the Tower's destruction, or even revenge against his ancient foe.
То, что влекло Фейна в эти мгновения, было сильнее всего прочего. С этим влечением не сравнится ни желание смерти Ранда ал'Тора, ни стремление уничтожить Башню, даже месть своему давнишнему врагу тускнела перед этой жаждой.

His inattentive students, longing for the end of the day, took little notice, I suspect, of the historic moment.
Его невнимательные ученики, с нетерпением ждавшие окончания дня, прозевали, я думаю, этот исторический момент.

While you're longing for the Kingdom the devil does his longing nights, and daytimes he hustles around seeing people, talking to 'em!
Пока вы печетесь о царствии небесном, дьявол печется о своем по ночам, а днем ныряет среди народа, бывает у людей дома, говорит с ними!

And he had a passionate, poignant longing to be in that other world, to work himself at some factory or big workshop, to address big audiences, to write, to publish, to raise a stir, to exhaust himself, to suffer...
И ему страстно, до тоски вдруг захотелось в этот другой мир, чтобы самому работать где-нибудь на заводе или в большой мастерской, говорить с кафедры, сочинять, печатать, шуметь, утомляться, страдать...

He spoke with such genuine sadness, such evident longing to begin the past anew, that Albine was touched.
В голосе его слышалась такая неподдельная печаль, он так явно жаждал обрести былую нежность, что Альбина была растрогана.

Not so much that I need advice about anything, but I feel an irresistible longing to hear the opinion of this outsider, who is a rather coldly egoistic, but undoubtedly clever man.
Не то чтобы я так нуждался в чьем-нибудь совете; но мне просто и неудержимо захотелось услышать мнение этого совершенно постороннего и даже несколько холодного эгоиста, но бесспорно умного человека.

But the war of motives within him was but postponed--the longing for Fleur, and the hatred of deception.
Но это только оттягивало войну между внутренними побуждениями: влечением к Флёр и ненавистью к обману.

I waited for Matvey with nervous impatience: I had resolved that evening to try my luck at cards for the last time and ... and, apart from my need to win, I had an intense longing to play; but for that, my excitement would have been unbearable.
Я нервно ждал Матвея: в этот вечер я решил в последний раз испытать счастье и... и, кроме счастья, ощущал ужасную потребность играть; иначе бы было невыносимо.

For several restless weeks he fought the longing-it was a baby thing to want to go back-and then quite suddenly gave in.
Несколько недель он провел в борьбе с самим собой. Что за ребячество? Зачем ему туда? И вдруг сдался.

There are children of twelve years old, who have a longing to set fire to something and they do set things on fire, too.
Есть даже дети, лет по двенадцати, которым очень хочется зажечь что-нибудь, и они зажигают.
