It has an unspeakable, wild, Hindoo odor about it, such as may lurk in the vicinity of funereal pyres.
Он отдает невыразимо гнусным смрадом, вроде того, что стоит, наверное, поблизости от индуистских погребальных костров.

Typically, they lurk in dark and shadowy places, waiting for a careless Celsian to pass within range of their segmented maxilla.
Как правило, они прячутся в темных закоулках, поджидая, чтобы беззаботный цельсианин прошел в поле досягания их рецепторов.

[Psychoanalysis] is desirous to know what the symptoms signify, what instinctual impulses lurk behind them and are satisfied by them, and by what transitions the mysterious past has led from those impulses to those symptoms.
[Психоанализ] “стремится понять, что означают симптомы, какие инстинктивные импульсы лежат за ними и удовлетворяются ими и каких образом таинственное прошлое превратило эти импульсы в симптомы”.

His job seemed to be to lurk in corners whenever anybody forgot to send him packing for another load of Pennsylvania coal.
Его работа, видимо, состояла в том, чтобы прятаться по углам всякий раз, как его забывали послать загрузить очередную порцию пенсильванского угля.

It made the affair more real to Kipps; it seemed even to confirm Chitterlow against lurking doubts he had been concealing.
Теперь Киппсу все это уже показалось убедительнее; даже тайные, невысказанные сомнения самого Читтерлоу рассеялись.

A dozen times a day he cautioned her against dangerous things: the hind heels of horses, the highness of fences, the danger that lurked in gullies and the absolute suicide of crossing a road without carefully looking for approaching automobiles.
По десять раз на день он предупреждал ее обо всем, что может оказаться опасным: не подходи сзади к лошади, стукнет копытом; не лезь на забор - свалишься; в овраг спускаться опасно, а переходить дорогу, не оглядевшись, самоубийство.

But strange things are prepared even in the dead of night, and the unusual, which lurks least in the cafe, home of the prosaic and inevitable, was preparing to spoil for him the waning romance of Broadway.
Но странные вещи рождаются и в ночное время, и Необычное, которому, казалось бы, нет места в кафе, этих пристанищах всего прозаического и банального, уже готовилось убить в глазах Эмори всю романтику Бродвея.

She sat up and peered into every corner, making sure again and again that no unfamiliar shapes lurked there.
Она села, заглянула во все уголки, снова и снова заставляя себя удостовериться в том, что там никто нехороший не прячется.

Every sin would then come forth from its lurking place, the most rebellious against the divine will and the most degrading to our poor corrupt nature, the tiniest imperfection and the most heinous atrocity.
Каждый грех выступит тогда из своего тайного убежища, самый мятежный в ослушании божественной воли и самый постыдный для жалкой, испорченной человеческой природы, самое малое несовершенство и самая отвратительная жестокость.

Но теперь он был женат, и ока упрекала свое сердце за тайные чаяния, которые столь усугубили боль от рокового известия.

Finally, however, she recognized in a rather dramatic fashion that real, intense anxiety lurked behind this facade of modesty.
Наконец она осознала, причем весьма впечатляющим образом, что на самом деле за этим фасадом скромности скрывалась сильная тревога.
