Not the hurry-scurry sprawl we have now, with the domed stadiums and the turnpikes going everywhere, and not the one I grew up in, either.
Не беспорядочно растущая, с огромными закрытыми стадионами и автострадами, и не та, в которой выросла я.

So long as he went full bat, he could enjoy the beauty of those green slopes, stopping now and again to sprawl on the grass, admire the perfection of a wild rose or listen to a lark's song.
Быстро шагая, он упивался прелестью зелёных косогоров, время от времени останавливался, чтобы растянуться на траве, подивиться совершенству шиповника, послушать жаворонка.

А белая линия отбросила его на три фута и распластала на тротуаре.

I sometimes come into that room in the evening, sprawl in an armchair, and review my trades, one after another.
Иногда я захожу туда вечером и, расположившись в кресле, просматриваю свои сделки.

""'Tend to him in a minute!" he cried to Henfrey as he passed the prostrate Huxter, and, coming round the corner to join the tumult, was promptly knocked off his feet into an indecorous sprawl.
– Я сейчас доберусь до него! – крикнул он Хенфри, пробегая мимо распростертого на земле Хакстерса и огибая угол, чтобы присоединиться к толпе, гнавшейся за Невидимкой, но тут же был сшиблен с ног и шлепнулся на дорогу в самом неприглядном виде.

When I opened my eyes I had printed 401759082 in a drunken, downward-tending sprawl on the pad.
Когда открыл глаза, увидел, что записал: 401759082 — криво, косо, цифры пьяно сползали вниз.

She stepped around the table and leaned over his sprawled form, gun still pointing, taking no chances.
Женщина встала, обошла вокруг стола и остановилась над его распростертым телом. Пистолет был направлен ему в голову. Шансов на спасение не оставалось.

She took another deep breath, this time to avoid having to breathe in too close to the thing sprawled across the fallen office chair at the far side of the office.
Она сделала еще один глубокий вдох, на этот раз для того, чтобы меньше дышать рядом с тем, что было распростерто поперек поваленного стула в дальнем углу дежурки.

But he knew he wasn't crazy to think so, cause right then Measure looked up from where he lay all sprawled out afore the fire and winked so only Alvin Junior could see.
И было ясно, что так показалось не только ему, потому что в этот момент растянувшийся у огня Мишур посмотрел на него и подмигнул так, что кроме Алвина-младшего этого не было видно никому.

Between them, patches of darkness sprawled, so that for one pace out of every ten all was clarity, for the other nine, night.
Между ними расползались клочья темноты и только у одного из десяти столбов была полная ясность, у других же девяти – ночь.

He climbed higher onto the face, sprawling across it. He leaned his own eye to peer into the pupil of the stone god.
Забравшись на лицо, Грей улегся, прильнув своим глазом к зрачку каменного божества.

A sprawling collection of breeze-block sheds and wire-mesh enclosures, they had been built simply to fulfill their function, with no thought for architectural felicities; they were an eyesore.
Сараи из прессованной угольной крошки с заграждениями из проволочной сетки должны были служить служебными помещениями, и строитель не заботился об изяществе или архитектурном соответствии; потому они немного резали глаз.
