Untiring, enduring, obedient, whatever you might put him to; and costing nothing for his keep; he'd be ready to nibble at the ground under his feet if there was nothing else.
Неутомимый, выносливый, куда хошь его поверни, безответный; а прокормить его ничего не стоит: коли нет ничего другого, землю под собой глодает.

That was where she wished she were, in a quiet forest, sheltered among the trees, with her mother, the both of them watching Betty nibble on tender shoots.
Именно там ей хотелось бы сейчас очутиться, в тихом родном лесу, вместе с матерью смотреть на Бетти, мирно пощипывающую молодые побеги…

Luca seemed to believe she was fluttering her lashes; she accidentally hit him in the ribs with her elbow before he could nibble her ear.
Люка же, видимо, решил, что ее ресницы затрепетали по несколько иной причине. Посему, пока он не успел нежно потрепать ей ушко, женщина будто ненароком ткнула ему локтем под ребра.

Swarms of fish lived near the bed to live near the oysters thrown back by the searching men and to nibble at the shining inner shells.
Рыбы косяками держались поблизости от этих мест, поблизости от раковин, брошенных ловцами жемчуга, и выедали мякоть, заключенную под блестящей гладью их створок.

You hairless types might be able to keep going on a few nibbles now and then, but you don't run a mighty engine of destruction like yours truly on birdseed."
Вы, безволосые, конечно, можете обойтись малым, но такая могучая машина для уничтожения, как я, одними крошками питаться не может.

The meal service had gone faster than usual tonight. One reason was that due to the delayed takeoff, some passengers had eaten in the terminal and now, because of the lateness of the hour, they had either declined dinner or merely nibbled at it.
На этот раз ужин прошел быстрее обычного, отчасти потому, что из-за опоздания с отлетом многие пассажиры подкрепились в аэровокзале, и теперь, в этот поздний час, одни совсем отказались от еды, а другие лишь слегка поковыряли вилкой в тарелке.
