    • 1955, Mark Twain, translated by Zoltán Jékely, Koldus és királyfi (The Prince and the Pauper):
      Gyülevész népség nem illanhat el hamarabb pestises mellől, mint ahogy a sápadt és megrémült udvaroncok rebbentek szét a rongyos kis trónkövetelő oldaláról.
      A mob does not melt away from the presence of a plague-patient with more haste than the band of pallid and terrified courtiers melted away from the presence of the shabby little claimant of the Crown.
    • 1991, Marion Zimmer Bradley, translated by Piroska F. Nagy, Darkover (Darkover Landfall):
      Mi történt velünk, álmélkodott magában Rafe, de a gondolat ahogy jött, már el is illant.
      Rafe thought in astonishment, what has happened to us, but the thought slid lightly over his mind and vanished.
    • 1998, David Brin, translated by Enikő Mohácsi, A jövő hírnöke (The Postman):
      A tizedik reggelen Abby nem illant el Gordon mellől a pirkadat beköszöntével, hanem csókkal ébresztette.
      On the tenth morning, she did not slip away with the predawn light, but instead wakened Gordon with a kiss.
  2. (intransitive, of fragrance) to fade, to disappear, to wear off
    A parfüm illata elillant. ― The scent of the perfume wore off.
    • 2004, Dean R. Koontz, translated by Andrea Danyi, A hold fényénél (By the Light of the Moon):
      E látens energiát nyilvánvalóan nem lehet egyszerűen letörölni, mint valami ujjlenyomatot, hanem valószínűleg fokozatosan illan el, ahogy az oldószerek párolognak.
      Evidently, this latent energy couldn’t simply be wiped away as fingerprints could be, but it dissipated gradually on its own, like an evaporating solvent.
