He began to fear recognition and feel an obscure shame as if it were his native streets which had the right to forgive and not he to reproach them with the dreary and dingy past.Он узнавал все вокруг, и ему было стыдно, как будто они, его родные места, должны были простить его, а не он имел право укорять их за свое мрачное и безрадостное прошлое.Greene, Henry Graham / Brighton RockГрин, Генри Грэм / Брайтонский леденецБрайтонский леденецГрин, Генри Грэм© Greene Graham, 1938, 1940, 1945© ООО Издательство "АСТ МОСКВА", 2009Brighton RockGreene, Henry Graham© 1938 by Graham Greene© Graham Greene, 1966, 1970

«I will inquire into that matter,» said his entertainer; and, leaving the apartment, he went in search of Caleb, whom, after some difficulty, he found in an obscure sort of dungeon, which had been in former times the buttery of the castle.— Сейчас справлюсь! — ответил Рэвенсвуд и, покинув гостя, отправился разыскивать Калеба.

Somewhere on the face of those obscure waters moved the sense of yet another wrong and another victim, not Louise, nor Helen.Где-то на поверхности этих темных вод витало предчувствие еще одной несправедливости и еще одной жертвы – не Луизы и не Элен.Greene, Henry Graham / The Heart of the MatterГрин, Генри Грэм / Суть делаСуть делаГрин, Генри Грэм© Greene Graham, 1938, 1940, 1945© ООО Издательство "АСТ МОСКВА", 2009The Heart of the MatterGreene, Henry Graham© 1948 by Graham Greene© Graham Greene, 1971
But there are others who accuse him: there are vague rumours of a question, of a suspicion, an obscure report, a feeling of expectation.Но ведь есть же и еще кое-кто из показывающих: это некоторое, хотя и неясное брожение в обществе какого-то вопроса, какого-то подозрения, слышен какой-то неясный слух, чувствуется, что существует какое-то ожидание.Dostoevsky, Fyodor / The brothers KaramazovДостоевский, Фёдор / Братья КарамазовыБратья КарамазовыДостоевский, Фёдор© Издательство "Художественная литература", 1988The brothers KaramazovDostoevsky, Fyodor
When you superimpose an image onto an existing drawing, the transparent pixels do not obscure the pixels under them at all, whereas partially transparent pixels are mixed with the pixels under them.При наложении рисунка на уже существующее изображение прозрачные пиксели не закрывают пиксели, находящиеся под ними, а частично прозрачные пиксели смешиваются с пикселями под ними.Horstmann, Cay S.,Cornell, Gary / Core Java™ 2.

When I was in high school, the literature on gender differences was limited to obscure studies, but my mother somehow intuitively knew about the cavernous conversational gap.Когда я училась в институте, литература о половых различиях ограничивалась обзорными исследованиями, но моя мама! каким-то образом интуитивно знала о глубокой разнице в стилях общения мужчин и женщин.Lowndes, Leil / How to Make Anyone Fall in Love with YouЛаундес, Лейл / Как влюбить в себя любогоКак влюбить в себя любогоЛаундес, Лейл© Leil Lowndes, 1996© «Добрая книга», 2001 - Перевод и оформлениеHow to Make Anyone Fall in Love with YouLowndes, Leil© 1995 by Debra McCarthy-Anderson and Carol Bruce-Thomas© 1996 by Leil Lowndes

Keeping himself free from the tangle of the hedge he strolled across a triangle of obscure kitchen garden, and approached a dismal shed or lodge a yard or two beyond it.Выпутавшись из переплетения ветвей, он побежал по темному треугольнику огорода к какому-то легкому строению.Chesterton, G.K. / The Ball and the CrossЧестертон, Г.К. / Шар и крестШар и крестЧестертон, Г.К.© Н.
