They were unadorned by the white mortar customary on the walls of Rendorish buildings, and the windows which pierced them were perhaps a trifle narrower than monastic architecture would have dictated.
Камни их не были побелены, как в городе, и окна, прорубленные в стенах, были явно уже, чем диктует обычная монастырская архитектура.

Fifty times a day, his noiseless little feet went up the stairs to his own room, as he collected every book, and scrap, and trifle that belonged to him, and put them all together there, down to the minutest thing, for taking home!
Пятьдесят раз в день его маленькие ножки бесшумно взбирались по лестнице в его комнату: он собирал свои книги и все свое имущество и складывал все, вплоть до последней мелочи, чтобы взять с собою домой!

The hair that had been brown and a trifle in excess of the fashionable length, was iron grey and clipped close, and the face that had been pink and white was buff and ruddy.
Волосы его, прежде каштановые, подстриженные по моде, коротким ежиком, теперь серебрились, а лицо, раньше свежее и румяное, поблекло и пожелтело.

'The weight o' the pair, mum,' said George, eyeing them with the look of a man who was calculating within half an ounce or so, 'would be a trifle under that of Oliver Cromwell."
— Они вместе, сударыня, — сказал Джордж, глядя на девочку и старика с таким уверенным видом, словно ему ничего не стоило определить их вес с точностью до полунции, — они вместе потянут чуть меньше Оливера Кромвеля

It's a French trick, and you wouldn't understand; but it's got at by slewing round the head a trifle, and a tiny, tiny foreshortening of one side of the face from the angle of the chin to the top of the left ear.
Эта французская уловка, которой ты не поймешь, если тебе не объяснить. Это достигается тем, что голова слегка откинута или запрокинута, и одна сторона лица чуточку, самую чуточку, укорочена от подбородка до верхнего края левого уха.

Isabel had grown a trifle emotional while she told me this and taking a tiny handkerchief she carefully wiped away a tear that glistened at the corner of each eye.

Time had become an idling worm which crawled ahead the merest trifle, stopped and waggled its blind head, and crawled again.
Время прикинулось ленивым червем, проползало самую чуточку, останавливалось, поводило слепой головой из стороны в сторону и проползало еще чуточку.
