Examples from texts

Twice, after tortuous effort, squirming and twisting, he failed in breasting the big trunk, and on the third attempt, after infinite exertion, he cleared it only to topple helplessly forward and fall on his face in the tangled undergrowth.
Человек дважды тщетно пытался, карабкаясь и извиваясь, переползти через огромный ствол и лишь после третьей попытки почти на исходе сил одолел его только для того, чтобы беспомощно свалиться в густой кустарник.

For conceptual simplicity and typographical economy, I shall use the same letter for the generator of the mapping class group, the corresponding twist and its twisting circle.
Чтобы не наводить тень на плетень и не усложнять запись, я обозначаю образующую группы классов преобразований, соответствующее скручивание Дена и его окружность скручивания одной и той же буквой.

They had now reached a little clearing, whence several narrow paths, fringed with green hedges, struck out in various directions, twisting hither and thither, intersecting one another, bending and stretching in the most capricious fashion.
Они очутились на небольшой прогалине, куда. отовсюду сбегались тропинки. Со. всех сторон, среди живых изгородей, тянулись узкие аллеи, поворачиваясь, пересекаясь, изгибаясь, расходясь на самый прихотливый, лад.

At last I rose to go to bed, much to the relief of the sleepy waiter, who had got the fidgets in his legs, and was twisting them, and hitting them, and putting them through all kinds of contortions in his small pantry.
Наконец я встал, чтобы идти спать, к большой радости сонного лакея, который, сидя в своем загончике, ощущал, видимо, какое-то томление в ногах, а потому то клал их одну на другую, то ими постукивал, то подергивал на все лады.

Roof ribs wound a twisting path back toward it and seemed to dissolve into its shadowless radiance, bright as a stage lamp and suffusing the church’s interior.
Ребра свода изогнутой тропинкой тянулись к окну и растворялись в его сиянии – ослепительном, как свет театрального софита, и заливающем все внутреннее пространство церкви.

So we all stepped off and swam downward through darkness, beside the glowing, twisting thing.
Мы сошли с лестницы и поплыли вниз, сквозь темноту, рядом со светящейся лестницей.

Light was fading fast when they came to the forest-end. There they sat under an old gnarled oak that sent its roots twisting like snakes down a steep crumbling bank.
Уже в полумраке вышли они на опушку и уселись под старым шишковатым дубом, чьи змеистые корни торчали над сыпучим обрывом.

She was only dimly aware as she and Sunset plowed into the tangle of the large tree, and she felt no real pain as she and the horse crashed in headlong, tumbling and twisting in a bone-crunching descent through the branches and to the ground.
Инновиндиль с трудом поняла, что пегас упал на огромную крону, но даже не ощутила боли, когда они оба рухнули вниз, ударяясь о ветви, ломая кости и переворачиваясь.

"However, I see you are laughing at me and twisting your face up as usual in order to make yourself look more interesting. Now tell me, they generally shoot at twenty paces, don't they?
- А впрочем, вы надо мной смеетесь и кривляетесь по вашему обыкновению, чтобы себе больше интересу придать; скажите: стреляют обыкновенно с двенадцати шагов?

I stood and watched her go, the white halo of her head bobbing in the darkness, her cane tapping out the way as she moved down the long and twisting path of her world of fantasy.
Я стоял и смотрел ей вслед, белый ореол ее волос мелькал в темноте, постукивала палка; длинной, извилистой тропой брела она в мире своих грез.

He wandered up broad streets, most paved with flagstone, and down narrow, twisting lanes, wherever chance and the shifting of the crowd took him.
Он бродил по широким улицам, в большинстве своем мощенных каменными плитами, по узким кривым переулкам, - там, куда заводил его случай и людской поток.

Not a heavy one, but hard to balance and manage, the cart shafts shifting and twisting in his arms as he stumbled across the plowed field.
Пока он, спотыкаясь, шел по распаханному полю, оглобли от двуколки, хоть и не тяжелые, так и вело из стороны в сторону, и удержать их, норовящих выскользнуть или удариться концами о землю, было не так просто.
