Translation examples
Город был покрыт кружевом рек — Москва, Сетунь, Каменка, Сосенка, Яуза, Клязьма.
The city was laced with rivers, the Moskva, Setun, Kamenka, Sosenka, Yauza and, skirting the northern edge of the city limits, the Kliazma.
Да и Каменка была не то чтобы одета в гранит — ни парапетов, ни иных обычных признаков набережной Бердичевский там не обнаружил.
And even the Kamenka was not exactly clad in granite—Berdichevsky failed to discover any parapets there, or any of the other usual signs of an embankment.
Надо думать, имелась в виду речка Каменка, потому что главный житомирский водоток, Тетерев, из-за скалистости берегов набережной как таковой не имел.
He had to assume it was the small Kamenka River that was meant, since Zhitomir’s main waterway, the Teterev, had rocky cliffs along its banks and therefore no embankment as such.
