Examples from texts

The moon shone disapprovingly through the clouds of lingering smoke, revealing the blasted turf where bolts had landed and the smashed ruin of the fallen tower.
Луна с неодобрением выглянула в разрыв нависших клубов дыма и осветила торф, выжженный там, где падали молнии, и обрушенную до основания башню.

He took control back, drinking deeply of her silken mouth, his tongue stroking down the line of her throat, lingering over her pulse, his teeth scraping, tantalizing, while his body took aggressive possession, plunging deep and hard.
Он взял себя в руки и жадно впился в ее губы. Его язык ласково скользнул по ее горлу, задержался на трепещущей жилке. Его зубы царапали, мучая, пока он овладевал ею, погружаясь глубоко и мощно.

Mr. Vassiliou's latest visit to Athens and the outcome of his talks with the Greek Government dashed nay lingering hope of the Greek side returning to the right course.
Последний визит г-на Вассилиу в Афины и результаты его переговоров с греческим правительством развеяли даже самую слабую надежду на то, что греческая сторона вернется на правильный путь.

Yes, better throw it away," he repeated, sitting down on the sofa again, "and at once, this minute, without lingering..."
Да! лучше выбросить! -- повторял он, опять садясь на диван, -- и сейчас, сию минуту, не медля!.."

And yet—there was still lingering here in him that old contempt of his for religion and its fruits ,—the constant and yet fruitless prayers and exhortations of his father and mother.
И все-таки еще жило в нем старое недоверие к религии и ее плодам - память о вечных, но напрасных молитвах и проповедях отца и матери.

His eyes and thick fingers moved without apparent haste, and without ever lingering or fumbling or going back, from one inch of their fields to the next, probing, scrutinizing, testing with expert certainty.
Его глаза и пальцы двигались вроде бы неспешно, но зато ни на чем долго не останавливались, не колебались и не возвращались к уже осмотренному – они методично и с профессиональной уверенностью исследовали, проверяли, ощупывали.

I was alive, not a lingering spirit, but I could not be sure that the collector who had taken Whittle lacked the power to take me.
Я принадлежал к миру живых, не имел ничего общего с задержавшимися на этой стороне душами, но, кто знал, а вдруг у сборщика, который забрал к себе Уиттла, достаточно силы, чтобы забрать и меня.

His stare cut across Cordelia, not lingering long enough to be construed as insult, but cold, very cold, repelling introduction.
Его взгляд задержался на Корделии, хотя и не настолько, чтобы это можно было счесть оскорбительным.

Things had been way too serious around school—what with midterms just around the corner, the seniors stressing about applications, the lingering sadness from Aggie's funeral— and they all needed to relax.
Обстановка в школе была слишком напряженной — экзамены середины семестра уже на носу, сбор всяких бумаг для вузов мотает нервы, да и после похорон Эгги до сих пор как-то грустно — в общем, всем надо было расслабиться.

There was a lingering sense of black magic involved in his power.

Having no excuse for lingering longer I slipped out, while Linton was engaged in timidly rebuilding the advances of a friendly sheepdog.
И, не найдя предлога оставаться дольше, я потихоньку ушла, покуда Линтон был занят тем, что боязливо отклонял дружелюбное заигрывание одной из овчарок.

I also found a cold spot hovering over one area, as if an evil spell had just been worked there and the miasma was still lingering.
Нашел я также в одном месте облако сверхъестественного холода, точно там произнесли черное заклинание и его испарения все еще оскверняют воздух.

In the earlier times it seemed to be wafted to me from a distance, it was like the lingering memory of a perfume; but now I can't sleep for it, and it is so strong and penetrating that it quite stupefies me.
В первые дни запах доносился издали, точно то был не самый запах, а лишь воспоминание о нем. Теперь же я не могу спать: запах усилился до того, что просто душит меня.
