You are thinking: 'Of course one can't strike the little wretch, but one could suffocate him with a pillow, or a wet towel, when he is asleep! One OUGHT to get rid of him somehow.'
Выдумаете: "положим, его не надо бить, зато задушить его можно подушкой, или мокрою тряпкою во сне, - даже должно..."

Most of our neighbors in Fremont were bus drivers, policemen, gas station attendants, and unwed mothers collecting welfare, exactly the sort of blue-collar people who would soon suffocate under the pillow Reganomics pressed to their faces.
Надо сказать, что по соседству с нами жили в основном водители автобусов, полицейские, работники автозаправок и матери‑одиночки, получающие пособие, – в общем, сплошной пролетариат, который «рейганомика» прижала к ногтю.

And it seemed to her as if this perfume was none other than the old love-fragrance which had always warmed the room, now increased a hundredfold, till it had become so strong and penetrating that it would surely suffocate her.
И аромат этот был, казалось, не что иное, как запах былой любви, теплота которой все время сохранялась в алькове, но запах, усилившийся во сто крат, покрепчавший почти до духоты.

I had the clear knowledge that if I didn't keep my inner silence alive, the mud shadow would cover me up like a blanket and suffocate me.
Я твердо знал, что, если не сохраню свое внутреннее безмолвие, грязная тень накроет меня подобно одеялу и задушит.

There were a few seconds of dead silence. The prince tried to speak, but could not form his words; a great weight seemed to lie upon his breast and suffocate him.
Прошло несколько секунд молчания; князь как-будто силился и не мог выговорить, точно ужасная тяжесть давила ему грудь.

At the hospital they even had to explain to Unk what Combat Respiratory Rations or CRR's or goofballs were - had to tell him to take one every six hours or suffocate.
Там, в госпитале, им пришлось даже объяснять Дядьку, что такое Боевой Дыхательный Рацион — (БДР), — в просторечье дышарики, — пришлось втолковывать ему, что такой дышарик надо глотать раз в шесть часов, а то задохнешься.

Yegorushka listened for a little, and it began to seem as though this dreary, mournful song made the air hotter, more suffocating and more stagnant...
Егорушка послушал немного и ему стало казаться, что от заунывной, тягучей песни воздух сделался душнее, жарче и неподвижнее...

His voice seemed suffocated, and my first impulses, which had suggested to me the duty of obeying the dying request of my friend in destroying his enemy, were now suspended by a mixture of curiosity and compassion.
Тут его голос прервался; первым моим побуждением было выполнить предсмертное желание моего друга и уничтожить его противника; но я колебался, движимый смешанными чувствами любопытства и сострадания.
