Gulliver's travels into several remote nations of the world
Swift, Jonathan
And the community was in general the master of the territory it occupied, it had authority everywhere its axe, its scythe and its wooden plough went.
А община и вовсе была господином занятой ею территории, она распоряжалась всюду, куда ее топор, коса и соха ходили.

In the dining-room she papered the walls with peasant woodcuts, hung up bark shoes and sickles, stood in a corner a scythe and a rake, and so achieved a dining-room in the Russian style.
В столовой она оклеила стены лубочными картинами, повесила лапти и серпы, поставила в углу косу и грабли, и получилась столовая в русском вкусе.

But if this may not be, let the virgins of our people mourn for me as for one cast off, and for the hart that is stricken by the hunter, and for the flower which is cut down by the scythe of the mower.
Если же это будет невозможно, пусть девушки нашего племени оплачут меня как умершую, ибо я погибну, как олень, пораженный рукою охотника, и как цветок, срезанный косой земледельца.

And he sank, almost fell, on a chair close by, as though he had been mown down by a scythe.
И как подкошенный сел, словно упал, на подле стоявший стул.

"And three of them died afterwards, for the merchant had cut them badly with the scythe, too.
- Да, а трое из них потом померли, потому купец их тоже больно косой порезал...

If he happened to pass by where people were working he lent a helping hand as his father would have done, and took a turn or two with the scythe, or loaded a cart, or felled a tree, or chopped some wood.
Если он проходил мимо работающих, так же как и делывал старик, он тотчас же брался помогать - или пройдет ряда два с косой, или навьет воз, или срубит дерево, или порубит дров.

It did not this time; after playing with the scythe, he for some reason thought it necessary to take a serious tone about it.
Так и на этот раз, пошалив с косой, он почему-то нашел нужным придать своей шалости серьезный оттенок.

He locked the scythe in the cellar and put the key away. He was done with the reaping, done for good and all.
Он запер косу в кладовку, а ключ спрятал подальше: хватит с него, он покончил с жатвой раз и навсегда.

The harvester becomes a scythe with handle and cradle, three spare blades; the field rake is scratched.
Косилка превращается в косу с рукояткой и тремя запасными лезвиями: борону вычеркиваем.
