Examples from texts

Alleyne sat up on his couch with all his nerves in a tingle, uncertain whether these sounds might come from a simple cause-some sick archer and visiting leech perhaps-or whether they might have a more sinister meaning.
Аллейн сел на постели в полном смятении, теряясь в догадках и спрашивая себя: что же происходит? Может быть, просто занемог лучник и к нему позвали лекаря, а может быть, здесь разыгрываются какие-то зловещие события?

Gut wound, lump on the head, leech welt—throw in penile dysfunction for comic relief.
Дырка в животе, шишка на лбу, синяки от пиявок. Добавим сюда невстающий пенис - и картина завершена.

The darkness seemed to leech away her own light. She was falling into an emptiness as eternal and hungry as the cold void between the stars.
Тьма окружала её со всех сторон, холодная и пустая, как межзвёздное пространство; она надвигалась, давила, и Линден казалось, что она сама скоро угаснет и растворится в ней без остатка.

Having cried thus with a great voice, Cuitlahua fell back upon the cushions, and before the frightened leech who tended him could lift his head, he had passed beyond the troubles of this earth.
Прокричав последние слова, Куитлауак упал на подушки, и прежде чем испуганный знахарь, ухаживавший за ним, успел приподнять его голову, император Анауака уже избавился от всех земных страданий.

- And never be dagger out of sheath at every wry word you hear spoken; for you will find as hot blades as yourself, and then will be letting of blood without advice either of leech or almanack."
И не вспыхивай, точно хворост, если услышишь от кого-нибудь резкое словцо: здесь ты можешь наткнуться на такие же горячие головы, как твоя собственная, и тогда за кровопусканием дело не станет — не понадобятся ни лекарь, ни календарь.

Even if we drowned now, it beat a slow slimy death in a leech pit.
Пусть теперь меня смывает ко всем чертям, пусть я умру - это все-таки лучше, чем свалиться в яму к пиявкам.

In fact, don’t let anyone who says he’s a leech, a doctor or anything like that touch them.
И вообще, не позволяй никому, кто бы ни назвался лекарем, доктором или как там еще, прикасаться к ним.

'Fancy the conceit of the fellow!' interrupted the clerk, who was also beginning to lose patience; 'an apothecary's assistant, simply an apothecary's assistant, a wretched leech; and listen to him - fie upon you! you're a high and mighty personage!'
– Ведь вот как зазнался, – перебил его конторщик, который тоже начинал терять терпение, – фершел, просто фершел, лекаришка пустой; а послушай-ка его, – фу ты, какая важная особа!

It was the way you'd feel if you woke up with a leech in your mouth, sucking the blood out of your tongue.
Словно проснулся с пиявкой на языке, высасывающей кровь.

The professor changed his mind and instead of ringing up Burye dialled the number of the Leech Bureau and asked them to send a leech to his house at once.
Профессор переменил номер на телефоне и вместо того, чтобы позвонить Буре, позвонил в бюро пиявок, сказал, что говорит профессор Кузьмин и что он просит сейчас прислать ему пиявок на дом.

Then you come along and make me look like a seventeenth-century doctor with a bottle of leeches for high blood pressure and a trepanning chisel for headaches.
А тут являешься ты и делаешь из меня лекаря семнадцатого века с банкой пиявок от высокого давления и долотом для трепанации черепа.
