He drank off another glass, and — he thought it strange himself- that glass made him completely drunk. He was suddenly drunk, although till that moment he had been quite sober, he remembered that.
— Он выпил еще стакан и — странно это ему показалось самому — только от этого последнего стакана и охмелел, вдруг охмелел, а до тех пор всё был трезв, сам помнил это.

Harknesses were shot at the plough, through their lamp-lit cabin windows, coming from camp-meeting, asleep, in duello, sober and otherwise, singly and in family groups, prepared and unprepared.
Гаркнессов пристреливали через освещенные окна их домов, за плугом, во сне, по дороге с молитвенных собраний, на дуэли, в трезвом виде и наоборот, поодиночке и семейными группами, подготовленными к переходу в лучший мир и в нераскаянном состоянии.

Being sober, he expressed no sympathy; he only gave a grunt--whether of approval or reproach, I imagine he did not know himself.
Будучи трезвым, он не высказал никакого сочувствия и только хмыкнул – одобрительно или укоризненно, – этого, я полагаю, он сам не ведал.

Only a few tables had people at them, but a dozen men was a crowd for so early in the day, and if none looked exactly happy to see him and Mat, at least they looked clean and sober.
Заняты были всего несколько столов, но в такой ранний час даже дюжина посетителей - уже толпа, и если никто из них не выказал особой радости, увидев Ранда и Мэта, то по крайней мере сидящие за столиками выглядели людьми опрятными и трезвыми.

A few minutes more, and Emma hoped to see one troublesome companion deposited in his own house, to get sober and cool, and the other recover his temper and happiness when this visit of hardship were over.
Пройдут считанные минуты, уповала Эмма, и ее беспокойных спутников доставят домой; одного – протрезвиться и остыть, а другого – опомниться и прийти в себя после всех бурь и треволнений этой поездки.

“We wish to hope,” I said, “that the new publication will take a sober view of our revolutionary party’s tasks, on whose fulfilment the party’s future depends.”
«Нам хочется думать, говорил я, что новый орган трезво взглянет на те задачи нашей революционной партии, от решения которых зависит ее будущее».

Yet perhaps the virtue of those reverend sages was too strict for the corrupt and libertine manners of a court: and we often find by experience, that young men are too opinionated and volatile to be guided by the sober dictates of their seniors.
Разве что добродетель этих почтенных мудрецов слишком сурова для испорченных и распущенных придворных нравов; ведь мы часто познаем на опыте, с каким упрямством и легкомыслием молодежь не хочет слушаться трезвых советов старших.
