Examples from texts

The death of his mother broke his heart. He felt alone in the world—as much so as if he had been wrecked on some lonely reef, helpless and miserable.
Der Tod seiner Mutter zerreiße ihm das Herz, er fühle sich von aller Welt verlassen, einsam wie auf ein ödes Riff verschlagen, hülflos, elend.

But the worm hive was the ready-made framework for a new Theron village, into which the crowded fungus-reef settlement could expand.
Aber das Gerüst für ein neues theronisches Dorf existierte bereits, was einigen Bewohnern der überfüllten Pilzriff-Stadt die Möglichkeit gab, sich hier niederzulassen.

Die Pilze wuchsen nach wie vor und wurden immer härter, während sie alterten. Der Vorgang ähnelte dem Wachstum eines Korallenriffs.
