Examples from texts

She opened the drawer in the table and began flinging the papers out of it on the table at random, poking me in the chest with her elbow and brushing my face with her hair; as she did so, copper coins kept dropping upon my knees and on the floor.
Она как-то беспорядочно, толкая меня в грудь локтем и касаясь моего лица волосами, выдвинула из стола ящик и стала оттуда выбрасывать мне на стол бумаги; при этом мелкие деньги сыпались мне на колени и на пол.

Something crossed her face, some sort of recognition, like when you’re poking a stick at a king snake, teasing it and jabbing at it, and you suddenly realize it’s not a king, but a coral, that it could kill you anytime it damn well wants.
Внезапно выражение ее лица изменилось, словно ее озарила догадка. Такое бывает, когда теребишь палкой ужа, бьешь и дразнишь его и вдруг понимаешь, что это вовсе не уж, а гадюка, и что она может ужалить в любой момент.

"Incidentally, you weren't by any chance poking around the training camp last—let's see—last Tuesday night, were you?"
– Кстати, ты случайно не крутился поблизости от тренировочного лагеря – дай-ка припомнить – во вторник ночью, а?

On the one hand, he had the Whittiers and their wild story, which sounded almost plausible until you started poking at its various corners.
С одной стороны, Уиттиеры с их безумными показаниями, которые выглядят почти убедительно, пока не начнешь тянуть за разные концы.

The old man made no answer and for a long while could not understand what he was asked, though his neighbours amused themselves by poking and shaking him.

But I don't want to push people around, not really, she decided after a moment of conscience-poking.

Intruding constantly on his view of the landscape were the muzzles of two large-caliber machine guns poking out from under one of the stubby wings.
Всякий раз, взглянув в иллюминатор, мальчик видел дула двух крупнокалиберных пулеметов, торчащих из под короткого крыла.

Catherine was poking a long straw into the hole so roughly, that a swarm of frightened ants had rushed out upon the floor.
Катрина с таким ожесточением шарила в ней длинной соломинкой, что, в конце концов, оттуда хлынула на плиты целая волна испуганных муравьев.

By sundown they were poking into every crevice and crack, looking for a place to sleep which also offered cover from Fafnir.
Чем ближе был заход солнца, тем чаще начинали они заглядывать в каждую расселину и трещину, выискивая местечко, где можно переночевать, а заодно и спрятаться от Фафнира.
