Examples from texts

Their masters would not dare to give such plain orders to Orcs, even if they knew so much themselves; they would not speak openly to them of the Ring: they are not trusty servants.
Не рискнули бы хозяева орков доверить им столь важную тайну, если б даже сами ее проведали. Нельзя с орками в открытую говорить о Кольце: ненадежные они рабы.

Широкие тени ходят по равнине, как облака по небу, а в непонятной дали, если долго всматриваться в нее, высятся и громоздятся друг на друга туманные, причудливые образы...

But when the bell sounded the noise ceased, a flight of sparrows rose from the plane-trees, and the breathless students betook themselves to their lesson in plain-chant with folded arms and hanging heads.
