The insane engraver was sullen in appearance and sparing of words; at night he would sing a song about 'lovely Venus,' and would besiege every one he met with a request for permission to marry a girl called Malanya, who had long been dead.
Сумасшедший резчик был на вид угрюм и скуп на слова; по ночам пел песню «о прекрасной Венере» и к каждому проезжему подходил с просьбой позволить ему жениться на какой-то девке Маланье, давно уже умершей.

Those reactions seem to be sort of fogged up by the language they speak, but if we scrape that off, they are exactly the same reactions that besiege every human being on Earth.
Язык, на котором они говорят, несколько вуалирует это, но, приоткрыв эту вуаль, мы обнаружим, что всех людей на Земле беспокоят одни и те же проблемы.

And even with your last citadel besieged by your starving children, you sent away the ship that might have brought them help."
И даже тогда, когда вас осадили ваши же собственные голодные дети, вы отослали корабль, который мог принести им спасение.

Even in those cities which seem to enjoy peace, and where the arts flourish, the inhabitants are devoured by more envy, care, and uneasiness than are experienced by a besieged town.
В городах, которые как будто наслаждаются благами и где цветут искусства, пожалуй, не меньше людей погибает от зависти, забот и треволнений, чем в осажденных городах от голода.

They know the curve in China, and I have seen French artists introduce it into books describing a devil-besieged city of Tartary.
Эта кривая известна и строителям Китая, а французские художники изображали ее в книгах, где описывается город, осажденный дьяволом в преисподней.

On the boulevard of the besieged city of Sevastopol, not far from the pavilion, the regimental band was playing, and throngs of military men and of women moved gayly through the streets.
В осажденном городе Севастополе, на бульваре, около павильона играла полковая музыка, и толпы военного народа и женщин празднично двигались по дорожкам.

Though the day brightened as they traveled on, a weariness still persisted deep within, besieging her with doubts and fears that would not fade.
Хотя день обещал быть ясным и настроение тоже изменилось к лучшему, где-то внутри все равно оставалась слабость, подступавшая волнами сомнений и страха, которые никак не могли рассеяться, как рассеялась ночь в солнечном свете.

On that same day the Sawyers wagon train, which the Sioux and Cheyennes had besieged two weeks earlier, came rolling through the Arapaho country.
В тот же день обоз Сойерса, который сиу и шайены осаждали две недели назад, въехал в страну арапахов.

When she next returned to him, besieged by three capering medics, he muttered to her, "Oh, it doesn't matter about me!"
Когда она вернулась к нему, осаждаемая тремя расшаркивающимися студентами, он буркнул: — О, ты обо мне не тревожься!
