Examples from texts

When the power to the drive is removed, the magnetic field that holds the heads stationary over a particular cylinder dissipates, enabling the head rack to skitter across the drive surface and potentially cause damage.
При выключении питания поле, удерживающее головки над конкретным цилиндром, исчезает, и они начинают бесконтрольно скользить по поверхностям еще не остановившихся дисков, что может стать причиной повреждений.

I skittered to one side of the tunnel, sweeping Jamie along with one arm so that I was between him and whatever was coming for me.
Я метнулась в сторону, обхватив одной рукой Джейми – так, чтобы заслонить его от любого, кто пытался приблизиться сзади.

Это был какой-то новый мир — множество запахов, рассыпанных в воздухе звуков и территориальных границ.

When a little bird skittered over the dry leaves behind him, his head jerked up and he strained toward the sound with eyes and ears until he saw the bird, and then he dropped his head and drank again.
У него за спиной в сухих листьях затрепыхалась какая-то птичка. Он вздрогнул и прислушался, озираясь, потом увидел птичку, пригнул голову и снова стал пить.
