Examples from texts

In view of the difficulties involved in changing anything within ourselves, it is quite understandable that we should scour the ground for short cuts.
Ввиду трудностей, присущих изменению нас самих, совершенно понятно, что нам следует основательно поработать, чтобы найти эффективный способ разрешения.

I afterwards learnt that it was to try whether we had concealed any diamonds. This is the practice established from time immemorial, among civilised nations that scour the seas.
Вскоре я поняла, что это делается для того, чтобы узнать, не спрятали ли мы там бриллианты; это обычай, принятый с незапамятных времен всеми просвещенными нациями, которые ведут морскую торговлю.

Tell me, my dear Serge, shall we set off to-morrow and scour the park, from bush to bush, until we have found what we want?'
Скажи! Добрый мой Серж! С завтрашнего дня мы отправимся на поиски, перероем все заросли парка одну за другой, пока не исполнится наше желание, хорошо?

In order to achieve this, she was obliged to let herself drop a considerable height from the wall of a small flanking battery, where two patereroes were placed to scour the pass, in case any enemy could have mounted so high.
Для этого ей пришлось спрыгнуть с парапета, где на случай, если неприятелю удастся забраться на такую высоту, были установлены две старинные пушки.

She again began to scour the bushes, more eagerly even than on those warm mornings of the past when she had gone searching for love.
Она вновь стала пробираться сквозь кусты, сильно поредевшие по сравнению с тем, какими они были в те теплые утра, когда она еще только шла навстречу своей любви.

Matcham had half a thought to stay behind; but, seeing that Dick continued to scour full-tilt towards the eminence and not so much as looked across his shoulder, he soon thought better of that, and began to run in turn.
Мэтчем пребывал в нерешительности; но когда он увидел, что Дик продолжает карабкаться вверх по склону, ни разу даже не обернувшись, он побежал за ним вслед.

Pans and such you'll scour with dirt and grass and put them in the sunshine and hope they sterilize.
Сковородки и кастрюли будешь чистить песком и травой, а потом — на солнце; авось оно их прожарит.

And her pleasure was to ride the young colts, and to scour the plains like Camilla.

The winds and the rains would scour the poisons from the burning lands and carry them to the sea, and in the depths of the sea they would waste their venom until they could harm no living things.
Дожди и ветра соберут отраву с выжженных земель, снесут ее в океан, и там, в бездне морской, она лишится своей губительной силы и не сможет вредить жизни.

Then he scoured the plantation of orange-trees, rejoicing in their beauty and perfume, and thinking that he must have reached the abode of the fairies of the sun.
Он побежал среди апельсиновых деревьев, под которыми было так упоительно тепло и светло, что ему почудилось, будто он попал в царство солнечных фей.
