Examples from texts

Though I didn't feel like a lieutenant or a sergeant or a corporal, but a ditch digger, sewer dredger, a road worker lost or separated from his crew.
Aunque yo no me sentía ni teniente ni sargento ni cabo, sino pocero, trabajador de limpieza de cloacas, peón caminero perdido o marginado de su tropilla.

The lot was bordered by Calle Pelaez and Calle Hermanos Chacon and it ended in a ditch behind which rose the walls of an abandoned dairy in ruins.
El descampado daba a la calle Peláez y a la calle Hermanos Chacón y luego se perdía en una acequia tras la cual se levantaban los muros de una lechería abandonada y ya en ruinas.

Then a dirt track came into sight, camouflaged by the darkening horizon. It ran parallel to a ditch and was bordered by dusty trees.
Después se dejó ver un camino de terracería camuflado por el horizonte que empezaba a ennegrecer y que corría paralelo a una acequia y unos árboles cubiertos de polvo.

As Z heard the patter of feet leaving, he ditched his pants, threw on the black soccer shorts, and sat on the bench.
Cuando Z escuchó el sonido de pasos alejándose, se deshizo de los pantalones, se puso los pantaloncillos de futbol negros, y se sentó en un banco.

All kinds of equipment used for irrigating purposes, regardless of whether the water is rained on the crops or fed in ditches or pipes on the ground.
Todo tipo de equipo utilizado para el regadío, con independencia de que se realice por aspersión, por medio de surcos o tuberías.
However, motor vehicles used in the 12 months under review exclusively for forestry, fishing, construction of ditches and roads and other excavation work are excluded.
Se excluirán todos los tipos de vehículos de motor utilizados exclusivamente, durante los doce meses considerados, para la silvicultura, la pesca, la construcción de zanjas y caminos u otras operaciones de movimiento de tierras.
'What if there are chariots hiding in ditches waiting to burst out on us the moment we approach?
¿Y si hay cuadrigas ocultas en zanjas esperando a saltar sobre nosotros en cuanto nos acerquemos?
