Examples from texts

Однако к восторгу примешивалась и тревога, и я больше походил на раба, томящегося в рудниках или ином гиблом месте, чем на творца, занятого любимым делом.
But my enthusiasm was checked by my anxiety, and I appeared rather like one doomed by slavery to toil in the mines, or any other unwholesome trade than an artist occupied by his favourite employment.

Это были отчаянные люди, ветераны двадцати сражений, они жаждали снова заняться любимым делом, и сердца их были полны ненависти и мести.
These were the dangerous men, veterans of twenty battles, longing for their old trade, and with hearts filled with hatred and revenge.
