J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone 1 misol

People stared more than ever on the train. Hagrid took up two seats and sat knitting what looked like a canary-yellow circus tent.
Xagrid bir o‛zi ikkita o‛rinni egallab olib, sirk chodiriga o‛xshash allaqanday sariq buyum to‛qish bilan mashg‛u1 bo‛1ib ketgani uchun poyezdagi odamlar ularga yanada ko‛proq qiziqsinib qarashmoqda.

Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice 4 misol

1. ‘As to her younger daughters, she could not take upon her to say—she could not positively answer—but she did not know of any prepossession; her eldest daughter, she must just mention—she felt it incumbent on her to hint, was likely to be very soon engaged.’
“Yosh qizlariga keladigan bo‘lsak, u buni aytishga o‘zini vakolatli his qilmas edi—aniq javob bera olmas edi—lekin hech qanday shubha yo‘q edi; eng katta qizi haqida u faqat eslatib o‘tishi kerak edi—bu haqda maslahat berish u uchun majburiyatdek edi, va u tez orada turmushga chiqishi mumkin edi.”
2. Elizabeth took up some needlework, and was sufficiently amused in attending to what passed between Darcy and his companion.
“Elizabeth bir oz to‘qish ishini boshladi va Darcy bilan uning sherigi orasida bo‘lganlarni kuzatib, yetarlicha xursand bo‘ldi.”
3. Darcy took up a book; Miss Bingley did the same; and Mrs. Hurst, principally occupied in playing with her bracelets and rings, joined now and then in her brother’s conversation with Miss Bennet.
“Darcy kitob qo‘lga oldi; Miss Bingley ham shunday qildi; va Mrs. Hurst asosan bilakuzuk va uzuklar bilan o‘ynab band bo‘lgan holda, vaqti-vaqti bilan akasining Miss Bennet bilan suhbatiga qo‘shildi.”
4. Mr. Collins returned into Hertfordshire soon after it had been quitted by the Gardiners and Jane; but as he took up his abode with the Lucases, his arrival was no great inconvenience to Mrs. Bennet.
“Mr. Collins Gardinerlar va Jane ketgandan keyin Hertfordshirega qaytdi; lekin u Lucases bilan yashashga kirishganligi sababli, uning kelishi Mrs. Bennet uchun katta noqulaylik bo‘lmadi.”
