Examples from texts
I know it to be unnecessary and calculated to awaken speculation, doubt, rumour, I don't know what, in the house.
Я убежден, что этого не нужно было делать, ибо это вызовет в вашем доме разговоры, подозрения, слухи и тому подобное.
Dickens, Charles / Bleak HouseДиккенс, Чарльз / Холодный дом
There was a rumour afterwards that Lyamshin had stolen this burlesque from a talented and modest young man of his acquaintance, whose name remained unknown. But this is beside the mark.
Был потом слух, что Лямшин украл эту пиеску у одного талантливого и скромного молодого человека, знакомого ему проезжего, который так и остался в неизвестности; но это в сторону.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor / The possessedДостоевский, Фёдор / Бесы
The old man did not come round for some time, and at the first rumour of it was positively alarmed; he began to talk of the loss of my career in the service, of the immoral behaviour of authors in general.
Старик долго не сдавался и сначала, при первых слухах, даже испугался; стал говорить о потерянной служебной карьере, о беспорядочном поведении всех вообще сочинителей.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor / The Insulted and InjuredДостоевский, Фёдор / Униженные и оскорблённые
From some rumour, or perhaps from some stray word of Grushenka's, he had gathered further that the old man would perhaps prefer him to Fyodor Pavlovitch for Grushenka.
По слухам ли каким, или из каких-нибудь слов Грушеньки, но он заключил тоже, что старик может быть предпочел бы его для Грушеньки Федору Павловичу.
Dostoevsky, Fyodor / The brothers KaramazovДостоевский, Фёдор / Братья Карамазовы
In vain he assured himself that this disappearance of Kate's was but temporary, and that the rumour of an engagement between her and Ezra was too ridiculous to be believed for a moment.
Напрасно твердил он себе, что Кэт исчезла не навсегда, а слух о ее помолвке с Эзрой слишком нелеп, чтобы хоть на секунду можно было ему поверить.

Every morning he made for the post, and tore open letters and papers in agitation, and nowhere did he find anything which could confirm or disprove the fateful rumour.
Каждое утро отправлялся он на почту, с волненьем распечатывал письма, журналы - и нигде не находил ничего, что бы могло подтвердить или опровергнуть роковой слух.
