Examples from texts

And hunger did not skulk about, but the world was soft and easy, and a man could reach the place he started for.
И голод не рыскал вокруг, и весь мир был легкий, ласковый, и человеку ничего не стоило одолеть начатый путь.

As I'm a wicked sinner, there is one of them prowling along the bank this very moment, like one of the boys of the garrison skulking behind a fallen tree to get a shot at a squirrel!"
Но так же верно, как то, что я неисправимый грешник, вон один из них крадется по берегу в эту самую минуту, точно наш гарнизонный мальчишка, прячущийся за поваленное дерево, чтобы подстрелить белку!

Sometimes they trotted down broad avenues, empty save for an occasional dog skulking in the dark.
Иногда они рысцой спешили по широким проспектам, на которых не было ни души, не считая крадущейся в темноте редкой собаки.

And I suppose they are skulking outside, and your job is to do all the dangerous work and get what you can when I'm not looking - for them?
Они, стало быть, прячутся за твоей спиной, а ты за них отдувайся, тащи у меня все, что плохо лежит?

Убит был человек, которого ненавидел Алан, а сам Алан - тут как тут, скрывается в чаще и удирает от солдат.

Two have been cut off by this pale-face; my Hurons wish to see if he did this by means of a stout heart, or by treachery. Like a skulking fox, or like a leaping panther."
Два из них срезаны этим бледнолицым. Гуроны хотят знать, как он это сделал: с помощью мужественного сердца или путем измены, как крадущаяся лиса или как прыгающая пантера?

He went back to the camp and awakened Finnvard, who was supposed to be watching, and told him about Andvari in case the fellow was skulking around hoping to steal back some of his gold.
Он вернулся, в лагерь и, разбудив Финнварда, рассказал ему об Андвари – на случай, если старик будет шнырять вокруг, пытаясь похитить хотя бы часть отнятого у него золота.

'Next (to clear the ground before coming to business), you've placed in this yard a skulking, a sneaking, and a sniffing, menial.'
- Дальше. (Прежде чем приступить к делу, надо навести порядки здесь.) Вы подослали в "Приют" своего прислужника, который везде тут шныряет, за всеми подглядывает, все тут разнюхивает, сопляк этакий!

Avoiding, as much as was possible, all the main streets, and skulking only through the by-ways and alleys, he at length emerged on Snow Hill.
Избегая по возможности людных улиц и крадучись пробираясь окольными путями и закоулками, он вышел, наконец, на Сноу-Хилл.

Off to our right, visible only now and then as shadowy forms along the edge of Hecate’s Canyon, the coyotes skulked parallel to us, and I called them to her attention.
Справа от нас, лишь изредка возникая из тумана, по краю каньона, параллельно нам, крались койоты, на что я и обратил ее внимание.

The old mozo had never liked him, acted as if he thought Sheemie would turn thief, given half a chance, and if he saw Coral's slop-and-carry-boy skulking in the courtyard, Miguel would very likely drive him away.
Старый музыкант никогда не любил его, держал за вора и, увидев мальчика на побегушках Корал во дворе дворца, незамедлительно шуганул бы его.
