Examples
В ко́мнате стоят крова́ти, привинченные к полу. На них сидя́т и лежа́т лю́ди в си́них больни́чных хала́тах и по-старинному в колпака́х. Э́то — сумасше́дшие.
There are bedsteads screwed to the floor. Men in blue hospital dressing-gowns, and wearing nightcaps in the old style, are sitting and lying on them. These are the lunatics.
Все лю́ди рожда́ются свобо́дными и ра́вными в своем досто́инстве и права́х. Они наделены ра́зумом и со́вестью и до́лжны поступа́ть в отноше́нии друг дру́га в ду́хе бра́тства.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Не все ге́нии — инжене́ры, но все инжене́ры — ге́нии. Так что мно́жество всех инжене́ров — э́то, к сожале́нию со́бственное, подмножество всех ге́ниев.
Not all geniuses are engineers, but all engineers are geniuses. The set of all engineers is thus an, unfortunately proper, subset of all geniuses.
Are you studying or are you working?
Жабры рыб вы́глядят ярко кра́сными из-за большо́го скопле́ния капилля́ров, подо́бного тому, что есть в лёгких.
Incidentally, that the gills of fish are bright red is because there are many 'capillary vessels' collected there, the same as for lungs.
Как от уве́чных роди́телей рожда́ются иногда уве́чные, иногда неувечные дети, так и от са́мки иногда рожда́ется са́мка, иногда же — не са́мка, а саме́ц. Ведь са́мка представля́ет собой как бы уве́чного самца́.
Just as it sometimes happens that deformed offspring are produced by deformed parents, and sometimes not, so the offspring produced by a female are sometimes female, sometimes not, but male, because the female is as it were a deformed male.
Кто-то однажды спроси́л Диогена, како́е вре́мя лу́чше для ужина, и тот отве́тил, что "если ты бога́тый челове́к, то как только возни́кнет жела́ние, а если бедня́к, то как только возни́кнет возмо́жность".
A man once asked Diogenes what was the proper time for supper, and he made answer, "If you are a rich man, whenever you please; and if you are a poor man, whenever you can."
В Гонко́нге есть два ти́па жи́дкой пищи, кото́рые счита́ются жизненно необходи́мыми: кантонский суп и ри́совая ка́ша конги. Любопытно отме́тить, что сколь бы густы́м и нава́ристым ни был суп, его всегда пьют, а сколь бы жи́дкой ни была́ конги, её всегда едя́т.
In Hong Kong there are two types of liquid food which are considered absolutely vital: Cantonese soup and congee. It is curious to note that however "thick and ingredient-filled" the soup is, it's always drunk and however "thin" the congee is, it's always eaten.
Коро́ны насле́дуют, короле́вства заслу́живают.
Crowns are inherited, kingdoms are earned.
Для удо́бства слепы́х пассажи́ров в моско́вском метро́ мужски́м го́лосом объявля́ются ста́нции при движе́нии к це́нтру города, а же́нским - при движе́нии от це́нтра.
For the convenience of blind passengers, on the Moscow metro the station announcements are in a male voice if you are moving towards the center of the city, and in a female one if you are moving away.
К сожале́нию, мы не в состоя́нии приня́ть ваш запро́с.
We are sorry we are unable to accept your request.
Мы бе́дные, потому что мы че́стные.
We are poor because we are honest.
Лю́ди, кото́рые встреча́ются нам в кни́гах, ра́дуют нас либо потому, что напомина́ют нам друзе́й, кото́рые нам дороги в реа́льной жи́зни, либо они — незнако́мцы, кото́рых мы ра́ды узна́ть.
The people we meet in books can delight us either because they resemble the friends we hold dear in real life, or because they are unfamiliar people that we are pleased to get to know.
«У тебя на голове́ спа́риваются две стрекозы». — «Я не заме́тила, как они на меня сели. Они всё ещё в волоса́х?» — «Нет, только что опять взлете́ли». — «О, теперь ви́жу. Каки́е они краси́вые!»
Two dragonflies are mating on your head. "I didn't feel them landing. Are they still on my hair?" "No, they just took flight again." "Oh, now I see them. How beautiful they are!"

«Эй, дружи́ще, ду́маешь ли ты то же, что, по-моему, ты ду́маешь, ду́маю я, или ты ду́маешь о том, о чём, по-твоему, я ду́маю?» — «Погоди́, а ты вообще кто?»
Hey, pal, are you thinking what I think you think I'm thinking, or are you thinking what you thought I've been thinking? "Wait, who are you anyway?"
Мы счита́ем за очеви́дные и́стины, что все лю́ди сотворены ра́вными, что им даны их Творцо́м некоторые неотъе́млемые права, в числе́ кото́рых нахо́дятся — жизнь, свобо́да и пра́во на сча́стье.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Are you suffering from too much excitement in your life? Are you experiencing too much happiness? Are you feeling too elated? Is everything around you going too well and you can't seem to contain it? Worry no more, because there is a cure. Watch Djokovic—Simon, 2016 Australian Open 4R.
Никогда мы не будем бра́тьями ни по ро́дине, ни по матери. Ду́ха нет у вас быть свобо́дными – нам не стать с вами даже сво́дными. Вы себя окрести́ли "ста́ршими" - нам бы мла́дшими, да не вашими. Вас так много, а, жаль, безли́кие. Вы огро́мные, мы – вели́кие.
We will never be brothers, neither through our homeland nor through our mother. You have no spirit to be free - we cannot even become stepbrothers with you. You have called yourselves the “elders” - we would be the younger ones, but not yours. You are so many, yet sadly faceless. You are immense; we are great.
