His soul was overflowing but with mingled feelings; no single sensation stood out distinctly; on the contrary, one drove out another in a slow, continual rotation.
Душа его была переполнена, но как-то смутно, и ни одно ощущение не выделялось слишком сказываясь, напротив одно вытесняло другое в каком-то тихом, ровном коловращении.

From these basins the water is continually exhaled by the sun in the daytime, which effectually prevents their overflowing.
Под действием солнечных лучей вода бассейнов непрерывно испаряется в течение дня, что препятствует их переполнению.

Under such showers the ground was hollowed out, the plains were changed to lakes, the streams to torrents, the rivers, overflowing, inundated vast territories.
Такой ливень мгновенно превращает равнины в озера, а ручейки–в бурные потоки; реки выходят из берегов и затопляют огромные пространства.

He did not stop on the steps either, but went quickly down; his soul, overflowing with rapture, yearned for freedom, space, openness.
Он не остановился и на крылечке, но быстро сошел вниз. Полная восторгом душа его жаждала свободы, места, широты.

Never was such wringing of hands and such overflowing of eyes, since the days of St Niobe, of whom Prior Aymer told us.

I could not hope for reciprocity--could not even think of it, yet my heart was overflowing with happiness.
Я не мог надеяться на взаимность, да и не думал о ней: душа моя и без того была преисполнена счастием.

For a fortnight beforehand the town was overflowing with funny stories which were all brought by our wits to Yulia Mihailovna's court.
Город еще за две недели был начинен семейными анекдотами, которые все тотчас же переносились ко двору Юлии Михайловны нашими зубоскалами.

He pointed to two cocottes who passed by, attended by a little group of members of the Jockey Club, grimacing and lisping, and to the gambling saloon, full to overflowing in spite of the lateness of the hour.
- Он указал на двух проходивших лореток, около которых кривлялось и картавило несколько членов Жокей-клуба, и на игорную залу, набитую битком, несмотря на позднее время дня.

His house impressed me much; it is like a burial-ground, he seems to like it, which is, however, quite natural. Such a full life as he leads is so overflowing with absorbing interests that he has little need of assistance from his surroundings.
Дом его поразил меня; похож на кладбище, а ему, кажется, нравится, что, впрочем, понятно: такая полная непосредственная жизнь, которою он живет, слишком полна сама по себе, чтобы нуждаться в обстановке.

Jackets and instrument cases lay in unceremonious heaps on the floor, and empty red plastic cups vied with overflowing ashtrays to cover up other flat surfaces.
Чехлы и футляры для инструментов были свалены на полу бесцеремонными грудами, пустые красные пластиковые стаканчики вкупе с переполненными пепельницами покрывали все остальные плоскости.

In her thoughts of her new mother, and in the love and trust overflowing her pure heart towards her, Florence loved her own dead mother more and more.
Отдаваясь мыслям о новой матери, с любовью и доверием к ней в чистом своем сердце, Флоренс еще сильнее любила свою родную умершую мать.
