Examples from texts

Unless some yo-yo had taken it home to haul something upstairs with, which would be just about par for the course.
Если только кто-нибудь не унес ее домой, чтобы с ее помощью затащить наверх что-нибудь тяжелое.

No matter what I think, I go banging back and forth, like a yo-yo, from one time to yet another, none of which are the times I want to be.”
Что бы я ни думал, меня бросает вперед и назад, точно бильбоке, из эпохи в эпоху, причем совсем не в те, в которые я хотел бы попасть.

Somewhere there must be a common denominator to explain why it should be these five items and not five other things, say roller curtains and pogo sticks and yo-yos and airplanes and toothpaste.
Обнаружив ее, найдя этот общий знаменатель, можно было понять, почему появились именно эти пять предметов, а не какие-то пять других, например не шторы, ходули, волчок, самолет и зубная паста.

Simak, Clifford D.
“and you can bet your boots the lawyer or lawyers these yo-yos have got on retainer will be sure to keep it that way.”
— Могу спорить, что адвокат, который будет вести его дело, именно на этом станет строить линию защиты.
