En: The sun shone brightly over Karfagen, bathed in the light of the bustling market. Uk: Кам'яна площа рясніла від звуків і запахів. En: The stone square buzzed with sounds and smells. Uk: Тут і там виднілися яскраві намети продавців, а повітря було насичене ароматом екзотичних спецій та приглушеним гулом перемовин. En: Here and there, the bright tents of vendors were visible, and the air was saturated with the aroma of exotic spices and the subdued hum of negotiations. Uk: Олена стояла на порозі одного з ятків.

Uk: Він був також з її краю. En: He was also from her region. Uk: Хоча вони й були знайомі, конкуренція між ними була відчутною.
