Spills of heavy oils can kill organisms through smothering rather than through toxic effects.
Разливы тяжелой нефти могут быть причинами гибели организмов в основном от недостатка кислорода, а не в результате сильных токсических воздействий.

Most people would live their whole lives untouched by crime, yet they still feared it, and that fear was real and smothering.
Большинство людей проживают жизнь, не сталкиваясь с преступлениями и преступниками, но все равно они испытывают страх, и страх этот — непритворный и всепоглощающий.

Ruth tenses at his threat to bite, and her hands shove at his shoulders, but he clings there, his teeth bared in a silent exclamation, crying out against her smothering throat that it is not her body he wants, not the flesh and bones, but her, her.
Ожидая укуса, Рут испуганно вздрагивает и упирается ему ладонями в плечи, но он не отпускает ее и, чуть не задушив в объятиях, кричит, что ему нужно не ее тело, а она, она вся.

Suddenly Martin hated the blue-and-gold velvet of the car, the cunningly hid gold box of cigarettes, all this soft and smothering prison.
Мартин вдруг возненавидел тисненый, синий с золотом, бархат лимузина, хитро спрятанную золотую шкатулку с папиросами, всю эту мягкую и душную тюрьму.

It burst upon her knot of hair, crumbling down her neck and smothering her in dust.
Ком пролетел шага четыре, упал ей на косу, соскользнул на шею и осыпал ее пылью.

The flares of street traders made little yellow haloes in the smothering billows.
В удушливых клубах факелы уличных торговцев казались окруженными небольшим желтым ореолом.

Воображаю: тихий-тихий, темный-темный сад, и в тишине едва слышатся глухие рыдания...

He seemed suddenly to shrink together and broke into rapid, short sobs, which he tried at first to smother, but at last he sobbed aloud.
Он как-то вдруг весь съежился и начал часто, укороченно рыдать, сначала тая голос, а под конец громко всхлипывая.

He smothers me in a hug, his cologne like another set of arms.
Мужчина, обнимая, чуть ли не душит меня, а запах одеколона обволакивает не хуже, чем еще один комплект его рук.

We also play smothers, and that's fun too: you stuff a pillow in someone's face and smother him, and he flails and splutters and when he gets away, he's all red and sweaty, and his hair's sticking out like a harpy's.
А еще мы в удушилочку играем, и тоже занимательно: подушкой на личико навалишься и душишь, а тот то, другой, брыкается, вырывается, а вырвется – весь такой красный, вспотевши, и волоса врозь, как у гарпии.

Then came kisses, the sounding but cold kisses of leave-taking, good wishes - half expressed - for the journey, promises to write, the last, half-smothered words of farewell.
Раздались поцелуи, звонкие, но холодные поцелуи разлуки, напутственные, недосказанные желания, обещания писать, последние, полусдавленные прощальные слова...
