Examples from texts

"Quiet!" snapped Lavastine, and then they hushed of their own accord because the prince now walked toward them with his retinue of dogs nipping and barking at his heels.
– Молчать! – отрезал Лавастин, но они и сами умолкли, потому что принц во главе своей гавкающей свиты шел теперь к ним.

Drizzt saw a shadow move across the firelight inside, and, recognizing his companion’s vulnerability, he didn’t hesitate. He dove through Wulfgar’s legs and into the lair, his scimitars nipping and jabbing wildly as he came.
Увидев впереди тень, заметавшуюся на фоне пылавшего в глубине берлоги пламени, Дзирт сразу понял, как уязвим сейчас его друг, и, не теряя времени даром, выхватил сабли и, обогнув варвара, бросился в пещеру.

Shadows danced and played about him, nipping at his fading courage.
Вокруг Пара плясали и играли тени, отнимая последние остатки храбрости.

My mouth felt very dry, but that must have been an illusion, because when I kissed her our mouths were wet; they slipped all around, tongues and lips and nipping teeth.
Во рту у меня пересохло, но, видимо, это была иллюзия - когда я ее поцеловал, наши рты были мокрыми, и они впились друг в друга: губы, языки, покусывающие зубы.

Lukassa looked offended at first, but Nyateneri’s laughter swept everything before it until we were all three rocking and yapping like the fox, who bounced between us, nipping painfully at chins and noses.
Лукасса поначалу вроде обиделась, но смех Ньятенери был так заразителен, что вскоре мы уже все втроем покатывались и тявкали, как лисы, а развеселившийся лис скакал между нами и больно кусал за носы и подбородки.

La Bijou skirted a pivoting floe, darted into a nipping channel, and shot out into the open with the walls grinding together behind.
"Бижу" обогнула крутящуюся льдину и через узкий пролив выскочила в открытое место, ледяная стена со скрежетом сомкнулась за ними.

The old man suddenly felt that, instead of telling him some interesting secret, Nikolay had seized the upper part of his ear between his teeth and was nipping it rather hard.
Старичок вдруг почувствовал, что Nicolas, вместо того чтобы прошептать ему какой-нибудь интересный секрет, вдруг прихватил зубами и довольно крепко стиснул в них верхнюю часть его уха.

Once we were belated: the cattle could hardly crawl, the day was at hand, it was a nipping, rigorous morning, King was lashing his horses, I was giving an arm to the old Colonel, and the Major was coughing in our rear.
Однажды мы припозднились: наши заморенные клячи еле передвигали ноги, неотвратимо наступало утро, подмораживало. Кинг нещадно стегал лошадей, я поддерживал под руку старика полковника, майор, кашляя, замыкал шествие.

Our momentum stalled, and the pack’s energy wrapped itself into a tightly wound bundle of nipping and barking.
Наша инерция пошла на убыль, и энергия тесно сбившейся своры перешла в укусы и лай.

Some had tried to walk up Lyonesse, but Willie had nipped that in the bud.

The great Powers must therefore supervise and control such efforts and nip in the bud the possibility of such weapons falling into the hands of groups or States that have no respect for human life.
Поэтому великим державам надлежит держать подобные усилия под надзором и контролем и в корне пресекать любую возможность попадания таких вооружений в руки группировок или государств, не питающих никакого уважения к человеческой жизни.
