Lukassa’s rage of knowledge seemed to ebb somewhat; when she spoke again, saying, “Here and here,” she sounded more like a child driven to exasperation by the sluggishness and stupidity of adults.
Ярость Лукассы, похоже, немного улеглась. Когда она снова заговорила, сказав: «Вот тут и тут», она была больше похожа на ребенка, доведенного до отчаяния медлительностью и тупостью взрослых.

It would have been difficult to sink to a lower ebb of disorder, but to Raskolnikov in his present state of mind this was positively agreeable.

My fingers crept up and touched a familiar wire of heat at my collarbone - the necklace, silver-dipped raccoon baculum and bloodmarked bloodstones, its potent force spent and at low ebb.
Мои пальцы поползли вверх и коснулись знакомой жаркой линии у ключицы ‑ ожерелья с оправленной в серебро приаповой косточкой енота и помеченными кроваво‑красными гелиотропами, чья сила была почти исчерпана.

Mistakes are accepted as part of the ebb and flow of complex intellectual activities, and as long as she hasn't been negligent, no one will hold mistakes against her.

There is something undignified about waiting and as they mill around in the living room watching the minutes ebb in the silverfaced clock they become uncomfortably costumed children nervous for the party to begin.

" Not until the work of Will was it realized that Whitehead's theory predicts a time-dependence for the ebb and flow of ocean tides that is completely contradicted by everyday experience
Но сразу же после работы Вилла стало ясно, что теория Уайтхеда предсказывает такую зависимость океанских приливов и отливов от времени, которая находится в полном противоречии с каждодневным опытом
