The shaking in my arms and legs circled like a beast waiting to pounce.
Руки и ноги у меня дрожали, как у зверя, готового к прыжку.

This bucket fascinated him, and after he had drunk his fill he would upset the remains of the water and then pat the bucket with his great paws, making it roll round the cage so that he could stalk it and pounce on it.
Ведро стало его любимой игрушкой. Он напьется из него вдоволь, остатки воды выльет и хорошенько стукнет по ведру могучей лапой. Потом бежит вдогонку и валится на него.

It is quite common for a gull to wait until a neighbour's back is turned, perhaps while it is away fishing, and then pounce on one of the neighbour's chicks and swallow it whole.
Нередко чайка поджидает, пока соседка отвернется или отправится на рыбную ловлю, и, налетев на одного из соседских птенцов, заглатывает его целиком.

At their very first cry of pain she knew what ailed them; she would choose dainties upon which they would pounce greedily.
При первом их крике она уже знала, что их тревожит. Она изобретала всевозможные лакомства, на которые животные с жадностью набрасывались.

I was not long in coming to myself; everything came back to my mind at once, without an effort, as though it had been in ambush to pounce upon me again.
Я приходил в себя недолго; все разом, без усилий, тотчас же мне вспомнилось, как будто так и сторожило меня, чтоб опять накинуться.

He had expected that they would pounce upon him.
А по его расчету, должны бы были, кажется, так сразу на него и наброситься.

Job, he saw, was not even attempting to pounce: he slunk around, his eyes closed to slits, watching the heroics of the rest.
Джоб, как он заметил, даже не пытался кусаться – он просто скакал вокруг, прищурив глаза, и наблюдал за героизмом остальных.

And in the village there were such tales about among us: that white wolves would run over the earth, and would eat men, that a bird of prey would pounce down on us, and that they would even see Trishka.'
А у нас на деревне такие, брат, слухи ходили, что, мол, белые волки по земле побегут, людей есть будут, хищная птица полетит, а то и самого Тришку увидят.

Oh, often I've seen the police as pleased as Punch carrying their happy morning faces around, just going to pounce - and I think to myself, why bother to ask them what it's about? they'll just pounce on air."
– Я не раз видел, как полицейские разгуливают с сияющими лицами – у них прямо на лбу написано, что они собираются кого-то сцапать, – но я ни о чем их не спрашиваю и только посмеиваюсь в кулак: все равно уйдут ни с чем.

On the other hand, the stately form of the Norman appeared to dilate in magnitude, like that of the eagle, which ruffles up its plumage when about to pounce on its defenceless prey.
Величавая фигура норманна все росла и росла в его глазах, как вырастает орел в ту минуту, как перья его становятся дыбом и он стремглав бросается на беззащитную добычу.
