He climbed higher onto the face, sprawling across it. He leaned his own eye to peer into the pupil of the stone god.
Забравшись на лицо, Грей улегся, прильнув своим глазом к зрачку каменного божества.

A sprawling collection of breeze-block sheds and wire-mesh enclosures, they had been built simply to fulfill their function, with no thought for architectural felicities; they were an eyesore.
Сараи из прессованной угольной крошки с заграждениями из проволочной сетки должны были служить служебными помещениями, и строитель не заботился об изяществе или архитектурном соответствии; потому они немного резали глаз.

The time had been when he had not understood the impassioned language of those burning lands, where writhed but knotted vine-stocks, withered almond-trees, and decrepit olives sprawling with crippled limbs.
Когда-то он не понимал пламенного языка этих сожженных земель, где не росло ничего, кроме искривленных, узловатых виноградных лоз, чахлых миндальных деревьев да старых маслин, покачивавшихся на искалеченных корнях.

Today it is a large and sprawling enterprise, that controls its own intelligence agency, manufacturing base, and import-export companies, much like the Russian FSB or the Chinese military.
Сегодня это большое и процветающее предприятие, которое имеет свою разведывательную службу, промышленную базу и компании, занимающиеся импортом и экспортом, как ФСБ в России или милиция в Китае.

Although the area they searched was sprawling and mazelike, after four days they had covered the better part of it.

Dwomor Keep was a large, sprawling structure, obviously built piecemeal over a period of centuries; the various towers, turrets, and wings had only one unifying feature, that being that they were all in a sad state of disrepair.
Твердыня Двомор представляла собой громоздкое, неуклюжее сооружение, которое строили на протяжении веков. Множество башен, башенок и крыльев замка имели одну общую особенность: все они находились в крайне плачевном состоянии.

There was a burst of stray gunfire into the air as he grabbed the two nearest cops and shoved them back into their comrades, sending the whole bunch sprawling to the pavement.
Не обращая внимания на беспорядочную стрельбу, он схватил двух ближайших к нему полицейских и толкнул на оставшихся, в результате чего все они оказались на земле.

The Anabaptist being upon deck bore a hand; when a brutish sailor struck him roughly and laid him sprawling; but with the violence of the blow he himself tumbled head foremost overboard, and stuck upon a piece of the broken mast.
Анабаптист пытался помочь в работе; он был на палубе; какой-то разъяренный матрос сильно толкнул его и сшиб с ног, но при этом сам потерял равновесие, упал за борт вниз головой и повис, зацепившись за обломок мачты.

Cordelia had left her here for hours when they visited, and as a child she had explored every inch of its sprawling grounds.
Во время их визитов сюда Корделия не раз оставляла ее одну на несколько часов, и маленькая Шайлер исследовала каждый дюйм здешнего парка.

That time he missed his hold on the steering wheel, and if I hadn't grabbed him by the collar and yanked him back, he would have gone sprawling face-first into his own whoop.
На этот раз правая рука разминулась с рулевым колесом, и, если бы я не схватил его за воротник и не дёрнул на себя, он бы плюхнулся физиономией в собственную блевотину.
