Он полагает, что вокруг него есть и другие - креи, рыболюди, Сукин Джон, которым тоже не терпится проверить, насколько глубоко они смогут опуститься, - но он их не видит.

My excuse to the highly skeptical elders was that, in order to be a successful priest, one had to plumb the depths of human nature as well as aspire to its heights.
И оправдывался перед весьма скептически настроенными старшими тем, что нельзя успешно служить Господу, только воспаряя к высотам натуры человеческой и не ныряя в ее глубины.

You prepare the building site, lay a foundation, frame the house, put siding and a roof on it, and plumb and wire it. This is similar to software construction.
Вы готовите стройплощадку, закладываете фундамент, создаете каркас дома, обшиваете его, кроете крышу и проводите в дом все коммуникации — это похоже на конструирование ПО.

Only the classic golem looked like a clay man, and he was brought to life by means of runes inserted in a special opening (when it came to this detail, the magicians’ sense of humor usually plumbed the depths).
Вот только классический голем походил на глиняного человека и оживлялся посредством рун, вложенных в специальное отверстие (тут чувство юмора у магов обычно падало ниже плинтуса).

Day by day we plumbed the valleys, scaled the heights, and tramped the plateaus in search of the miraculous plant.
День за днем, мы измеряли долины, лазили ча вершины и топтали плоскогория в поисках целебного растения.

As machines, we were flabby bags of ancient plumbing and wiring, of rusty hinges and feeble springs.
Но как машины, мы были только мешками с подержанной проводкой и канализацией, с проржавленными петлями и с ослабевшими пружинами.
