Where it stands
Кричали дрозды, и по соседству в болотах что-то живое жалобно гудело, точно дуло в пустую бутылку. Thrushes were calling, and close by in the marshes something alive was humming plaintively, as though blowing into an empty bottle.
Протянул один вальдшнеп, и выстрел по нем прозвучал в весеннем воздухе раскатисто и весело. A solitary woodcock came flighting over, and the shot fired at it rang out in the spring air, rolling and gay.
По лужам протянулись ледяные иглы, и стало в лесу неуютно, глухо и нелюдимо. Needles of ice stretched across the puddles, and the forest turned cheerless, muffled and unfriendly.
Запахло зимой. It began to smell of winter.
