- Свинец, шипя и гудя, хлынул в широкий жёлоб, подняв клубы серого дыма, от жёлоба сразу разбежались пронзительно-белые свинцовые ручейки, десятки, десятки ручейков — и заструились, закапали в опоки.
- Svinec, šipja i gudja, xlynul v širokij žólob, podnjav kluby serovo dyma, ot žóloba srazu razbežalisʹ pronzitelʹno-belyje svincovyje ručejki, desjatki, desjatki ručejkov — i zastruilisʹ, zakapali v opoki.
- The lead, hissing and buzzing, was poured into a wide gutter, raising up plumes of gray smoke. Immediately, dozens and dozens of piercingly white little streams of lead diverged from the gutter and began to spout and drip into the casting flasks.
