There were a dozen, maybe more, all roped together, galloping out of the late-afternoon swelter to take shape like a mirage brought to life.
Их было около дюжины, а то и больше. Связанные одной веревкой, они, словно мираж, галопом неслись по истомленной дневным зноем земле.

Perhaps it was his madness that made him so comfortable with the sun's brilliant white light and suffocating swelter, for it was true that it burned as implacably hot.
Пожалуй, именно его безумие помогало ему ощущать себя так комфортно под нещадными лучами солнца, в изнуряющей духоте.

July sweltered out with a last hot week, and Amory in another surge of unrest realized that it was just five months since he and Rosalind had met.
Июль изнемог от последней особенно жаркой недели, и Эмори, снова не находя себе места, подсчитал, что прошло ровно пять месяцев с того дня, когда он впервые увидел Розалинду.

Gone were the long, still days of midyear where sweltering heat slowed the pace of life and there was a sense of having time enough for anything.
Уже прошли долгие тихие деньки, когда жизнь будто замирает в душном зное и возникает ощущение, что еще на все хватит времени.

The day passed as before in sweltering heat, unbroken by any air or motion, and night came at last, made hideous by the barbarous ravings of the dying.
Так прошел еще один день, такой же удушающе жаркий. За ним наступила ночь, наполненная дикими воплями и хрипением умирающих.

Instead we sweltered uncomfortably in the dorter and watched the heat lightning as it chased its tail across the bay.
Мы же изнемогали от духоты в дортуаре, глядя, как жаркая молния кометой взлетает над заливом.
