Snowball was a more vivacious pig than Napoleon, quicker in speech and more inventive, but was not considered to have the same depth of character.Сноуболл отличался большей живостью характера, быстрой речью и изобретательностью, но относительно меньшей серьезностью.Orwell, George / Animal FarmОруэлл, Джордж / Скотный дворСкотный дворОруэлл, Джордж© 1945, Джордж Оруэлл© 1945, Harcourt, Inc© 1973, Sonia Orwell© 1988 Журнал «Родник».

The animals listened first to Napoleon, then to Snowball, and could not make up their minds which was right; indeed they always found themselves in agreement with the one who was speaking at the moment.Животные слушали сначала Наполеона, затем Сноуболла и никак не могли понять, кто же из них прав, надо отметить, они всегда соглашались с тем, кто говорил в данный момент.Orwell, George / Animal FarmОруэлл, Джордж / Скотный дворСкотный дворОруэлл, Джордж© 1945, Джордж Оруэлл© 1945, Harcourt, Inc© 1973, Sonia Orwell© 1988 Журнал «Родник».

It seemed to them as though Snowball were some kind of invisible influence, pervading the air about them and menacing them with all kinds of dangers.Им казалось, что Сноуболл стал чем-то вроде духа, незримо пребывающего на ферме и призывающего на их головы все беды мира.Orwell, George / Animal FarmОруэлл, Джордж / Скотный дворСкотный дворОруэлл, Джордж© 1945, Джордж Оруэлл© 1945, Harcourt, Inc© 1973, Sonia Orwell© 1988 Журнал «Родник».

It was noticed that whenever he seemed on the point of coming to an agreement with Frederick, Snowball was declared to be in hiding at Foxwood, while when he inclined towards Pilkington, Snowball was said to be at Pinchfild.Бросалось в глаза, что, как только Наполеон склонялся к соглашению с мистером Фредериком, становилось известно, что Сноуболл скрывается в Фоксвуде, а как только он решал иметь дело с мистером Пилкингтоном, Сноуболл объявлялся в Пинчфилде.Orwell, George / Animal FarmОруэлл, Джордж / Скотный дворСкотный дворОруэлл, Джордж© 1945, Джордж Оруэлл© 1945, Harcourt, Inc© 1973, Sonia Orwell© 1988 Журнал «Родник».

School officials were inexplicably afraid that we'd throw snowballs packed with glass shards or razor blades, though I had no clue how they thought we'd get a hold of that kind of stuff in the first place.Наши наставники непонятно почему опасались, что в снежках могут оказаться осколки стекла или бритвенные лезвия, хотя я, убей меня, не понимала откуда.Mead, Richelle / FrostbiteМид, Райчел / Ледяной укусЛедяной укусМид, Райчел© Перевод.
