Examples from texts

Birds fluttered softly in the wet shrubbery; the swallows swooped past, with a steel-blue sheen on their swift little bodies; the grass felt springy beneath the feet, its green refreshed; butterflies chased each other.
Птицы возились и порхали в мокрых от дождя кустах; ласточки чертили круги — быстрые маленькие тельца, отливающие стальной синевой; трава под ногами скрипела упруго, красуясь освежённой зеленью; бабочки гонялись друг за дружкой.

But at this moment the renowned lady-killer Monsieur Verdier swooped down upon her, and began to fall into ecstasies over the color, feuille morte, of her gown and the low-crowned Spanish hat she wore tilted almost down to her eyebrows. . . .
Но тут подлетел к ней известный дамский угодник мсье Вердие и начал приходить в восторг от цвета feuille morte ее платья, от ее низенькой испанской шляпки, надвинутой на самые брови...

Here the mono's track swooped down to less than ten feet off the ground, and here a doe that looked almost normal walked prettily from piney woods to drink from a stream in which the wa-ter had three-quarters cleansed itself.
Здесь монорельс проходил буквально в десяти футах над землей, и здесь же олениха, выглядевшая почти что нормально, грациозно вышла из соснового леса, чтобы напиться из ручья, вода в котором на три четверти самоочистилась от всякой дряни.

He swooped down and up and resumed his quivering and pulsating ascent of the air.
Машина по инерции еще скользнула вниз, потом, плавно описав дугу, стала подыматься вверх, и неровный, тряский полет возобновился.

The lights swooped down in an elongated cloud over the potion bottle that lay on the floor at the far side of the lab, gathered it up, and hurled it through the air toward me.
Свет собрался в комок вокруг пузырька с эликсиром, лежавшего на полу в дальнем углу лаборатории, сгустился еще немного, оторвал его от пола и швырнул его в мою сторону.

And indeed, I repeat, I had, brimming over with joy and expansiveness, swooped down upon them at an unfortunate moment; all of them had their separate troubles, and they were heavy ones.
Да и вообще, повторяю, я с моими радостями и экспансивностями налетел на них всех вовсе не вовремя: у каждого из них было свое, и очень тяжелое.

Already, dark shapes swooped about them or hovered over them, beings of great power and great evil.
Вокруг них уже начали кружить черные тени – злобные чудовища потустороннего мира.

Over them swooped the eagles; the dark rush of their beating wings smote them to the floor or drove them far away;
Орлы кидались на них, сильными взмахами черных крыльев сбивали гоблинов с ног или гнали прочь, в лес.
