Examples from texts

He turned the wheel all the way to the left again and below him-directly below him-the Civic Center again began to rotate toward the side of the Cherokee’s soon-to-be-defunct windshield . . . but it moved with agonizing slowness.
Он снова повернул штурвал до отказа налево, а под ним — прямо под ним — Общественный центр стал смещаться в угол лобового стекла самолета, который вскоре прекратит свое существование... но двигался он с агонизирующей неповоротливостью.

-- this seemed to Yakov more agonizing than anything, and he longed to lengthen out the time somehow, so as to endure this shame not now, but later, in the future.
- это представлялось Якову мучительнее всего, и хотелось протянуть как-нибудь время, чтобы пережить этот срам не теперь, а когда-нибудь после.

Then, in darting at the monster, knife in hand, he had but given loose to a sudden, passionate, corporal animosity; and when he received the stroke that tore him, he probably but felt the agonizing bodily laceration, but nothing more.
Тогда, бросившись на зверя с ножом в руке, он только дал выход внезапно вспыхнувшей, жгучей инстинктивной ярости; а получив тот страшный, растерзавший его удар, он не испытал, вероятно, ничего, кроме мучительного физического страдания.

Litvinov's suspense passed into agonizing torture; he could not stop still in one place, and, pale all over, moved about jostling in the crowd. "My God," he thought, "if I only had another twenty-four hours." . . .
Томление Литвинова перешло в мучительную тоску: он не мог устоять на месте и, весь бледный, терся и толпился между народом. "Боже мой,- думал он,- хоть бы еще сутки..."

I clutched her hands; the touch of her hands sent an agonizing thrill through me, and I put my lips to her insolent crimson lips, that invited me, quivering with laughter.
Я схватываю ее за руки, прикосновение рук ее мучительно сотрясает меня, и я приближаю мои губы к ее наглым, алым, дрожащим от смеха и зовущим меня губам.

Breath of hope that sweeps over the scorched fields, raging fever of impatience, of disappointment, of the most agonizing terror of death, insensate question: Why?
Ветер надежды, несущийся над выжженными полями, неистовая лихорадка нетерпения, разочарования, небывало обостренный, трепетный страх смерти, мучительный вопрос: почему?

In raising dullness--agonizing, chilling, helpless, hopeless dullness--to a fine art, Pishtchalkin was absolutely unrivaled even among persons of the highest morality, who are notoriously masters in that line.
В искусстве наводить скуку, тоскливую, холодную, безвыходную и безнадежную скуку, Пищалкин не знал соперников даже между людьми высочайшей нравственности, известными мастерами по этой части.

He knew what it was like; the terrible, agonizing pain which was there all the while but could not be suffered yet, because before all else it was necessary to be able to breathe.
Он знал, что это такое: боль ужасная, мучительная, никак не отступающая — но терпеть ее еще не надо, потому что все заполнено одним: воздуху!

None of them understood that these trifles were agonizing to their hostess, and, indeed, it was hard to understand it, as Olga Mihalovna went on all the time smiling affably and talking nonsense.
Никто не понимал, что все эти мелочи были мучительны для хозяйки, да и трудно было понять, так как Ольга Михайловна всё время приветливо улыбалась и болтала вздор.
