сходились Explanation: *** -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 час (2018-01-07 21:30:06 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Цитаты: The walls ***stepped in*** closer to one another, squeezing us together until I was almost walking behind him, and then just as suddenly they spat us out into a huge courtyard with couches and tables and a clear roof three stories above us. I paused, watching the almost invisible waves of rain sluicing down the glass. The brick walls stepped in at the top, as if to for the curved ceiling of a barrow. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 час (2018-01-07 21:31:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- as if to form (вводил вручную, цитата из книги на google books) |

(см.) Explanation: [David\'s Tower was tremendously strongly built,] with thick walls which ***stepped in*** as they went higher. -> [David\'s Tower was tremendously strongly built.] Она [башня] имела коническую форму [точнее, форму усеченного конуса] и была многоярусной, с толстыми стенами. Вероятно, слово «многоярусная» не вполне удачно. Тогда попробуйте подобрать другое, представив себе поставленную на попа телескопическую конструкцию вроде складной подзорной трубы.

peer agreement (net): +1ступенчатый уступ Explanation: Толщина стен уменьшалась вверху ступенчатыми уступами, так можно понимать. Такие уступы на наружных стенах видны на рисунке реконструкции башни и у стен батареи Полумесяц (Half-Moon Battery), которая была построена на остатках башни Давида. https://blog.edinburghcastle.gov.uk/davids-tower/ |
