Примеры из текстов

You're not very good at it in the first place, and it irritates me to have to waste the effort of countering the work of amateurs. Besides, churchmen are forbidden to dabble in magic, as I recall.'
Во-первых, вы — никудышный маг, а потом меня раздражает необходимость тратить силу на противодействие любителю, и, ко всему прочему, служителям церкви запрещается заниматься магией.

He sees his white fingers, with the big moons on their fingernails, absentmindedly dabble at the bottom of the bowl of munchies, as if he is trying to pick up the intertwined V's.
Он вдруг видит свои белые пальцы с большими полукружьями у основания ногтей, которые рассеянно шарят по дну блюда, словно пытаясь подцепить вензель «ВВ».

What a company of spectres we looked in that cold, clear, searching light, the Emperor with his face of wax, Soult blotched with powder, Lobau dabbled with blood!
Должно быть, в ее холодном и ясном свете мы казались толпой призраков — император с бледным, словно восковым, лицом, Сульт, весь черный от порохового дыма, Лобо в пятнах крови!

Две-три густые пряди длинных седых волос, вырванных, видимо, с корнем и слипшихся от крови, пристали к каминной решетке.

I've dabbled a little in drawing myself, and I assure you that to put one dot where you want it is a marvel with a pen close to a piece of paper.
Я сам немного рисую, и уверяю вас, поставить точку как раз там, где вы хотите, - нелегкая задача, даже если вы рисуете пером, а бумага лежит перед вами.

Лиане подозрительно покосилась на Суан - после Корийских Ключей Лиане в нескольких деревнях испытывала свои улыбки и взгляды, но Логайн смотрел на нее равнодушно. Потом Лиане вздохнула и кивнула.

His "experiment" with the rings, as he called it, was turning out more successful than he liked: for though he had dabbled in Magic for years he had always left all the dangers (as far as one can) to other people.
Его эксперимент с колечками прошел успешнее, чем ему бы хотелось, потому что хоть он и занимался чародейством долгие годы, но опасностям предпочитал подвергать других.
