But as the unrelenting snake undulated, steadily working itself up her body, gripping her now around the middle, her panic locked her fingers all the tighter to the root.
Но змея волнообразными движениями опутывала ее, уже добравшись до пояса, и Дженнсен в панике все крепче цеплялась за корни.

Something crossed her face, some sort of recognition, like when you’re poking a stick at a king snake, teasing it and jabbing at it, and you suddenly realize it’s not a king, but a coral, that it could kill you anytime it damn well wants.
Внезапно выражение ее лица изменилось, словно ее озарила догадка. Такое бывает, когда теребишь палкой ужа, бьешь и дразнишь его и вдруг понимаешь, что это вовсе не уж, а гадюка, и что она может ужалить в любой момент.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
Особенностью слов является то, что их значения способны извиваться, как змеи, и если вы хотите найти змей, ищите их за словами, которые изменили свои значения.

At the same time, the snake-rope slithered up Jarlaxle's leg and crawled around his waist, obediently winding itself inside the belt loops of his fine trousers.
Змея же вползла по его ноге, обвилась вокруг талии, втиснувшись в шлевки отлично сшитых штанов, закусила свой хвост и снова превратилась в ремень.

The second time he fired in the direction of the conservatory, because amid the smaller snake-heads a huge olive one on an enormous body had reared up and was slithering straight towards him.
Второй раз он выстрелил по направлению оранжереи, потому что оттуда среди небольших змеиных морд высунулась одна огромная, оливковая, и туловище выскочило прямо по направлению к нему.
