So we know that some urban planners are using it as a sketching tool, so while the simulation is not completely realistic, it is realistic enough that if something works in the game, it is highly likely that it will also work in the real world, so that you can actually try out things, see if this intersection might fit this kind of a situation.

Мы знаем, что некоторые градостроители используют её для создания чертежей, в то время как моделирование игры не совсем реалистично, но то, что успешно функционирует в игре, с большой вероятностью будет реализовано и в реальном мире, вы можете проверить свои идеи на практике, посмотреть, вписывается ли этот перекрёсток в данную обстановку.

We even have some preliminary evidences that these microorganisms may still be active in the desiccated state, like walking mummies all around us, and that they may be using UV radiation as a source of energy.

And I realized that as the magazine had become known for its in-depth research and long reports, some of the humor had gotten lost along the way, because now often Eustace Tilley was seen as a haughty dandy, but in fact, in 1925, when Rea Irvin first drew this image, he did it as part of a humor magazine to amuse the youth of the era, which was the flappers of the roaring twenties.

Using Some as an Adverb: Usage Guide

When some is used to modify a number, it is almost always a round number



a community of some 150,000 inhabitants

but because some is slightly more emphatic than about or approximately it is occasionally used with a more exact number in an intensive function.



an expert parachutist, he has some 115 jumps to his credit


—Current Biography

When some is used without a number, most commentators feel that somewhat is to be preferred. Their advice is an oversimplification, however; only when some modifies an adjective, usually a comparative, will somewhat always substitute smoothly. When some modifies a verb or adverb, and especially when it follows a verb, substitution of somewhat may prove awkward.

—E. W. Brooke



I’m not a prude; I’ve been around some in my day


—Roy Rogers
