separate [`sep(q)rIt] climb [klaIm] opposite [`OpqzIt]
They had a very jolly evening, and sat up late, and, by the time they came to go to bed, they (this was when George's father was a very young man) were slightly jolly, too. They (George's father and George's father's friend) were to sleep in the same room, but in different beds. They took the candle, and went up. The candle lurched up against the wall when they got into the room, and went out, and they had to undress and grope into bed in the dark. This they did; but, instead of getting into separate beds, as they thought they were doing, they both climbed into the same one without knowing it — one getting in with his head at the top, and the other crawling in from the opposite side of the compass, and lying with his feet on the pillow. There was silence for a moment, and then George's father said (минуту была тишина, а потом отец Джорджа сказал): "Joe (Джо)!" "What's the matter, Tom (что случилось, Том)?" replied Joe's voice from the other end of the bed (ответил голос Джо с другого конца кровати). "Why, there's a man in my bed (ну, в моей постели какой-то человек)," said George's father; "here's his feet on my pillow (его ноги на моей подушке)." "Well, it's an extraordinary thing, Tom (удивительная вещь, Том)," answered the other (ответил тот); "but I'm blest if there isn't a man in my bed, too (но черт меня побери, если в моей постели тоже не лежит какой-то человек = черт возьми, да в моей постели тоже кто-то лежит)!" There was silence for a moment, and then George's father said: "Joe!" "What's the matter, Tom?" replied Joe's voice from the other end of the bed. "Why, there's a man in my bed," said George's father; "here's his feet on my pillow." "Well, it's an extraordinary thing, Tom," answered the other; "but I'm blest if there isn't a man in my bed, too!" "What are you going to do (что ты собираешься делать)?" asked George's father. "Well, I'm going to chuck him out (собираюсь вытолкнуть/скинуть его; to chuck — /легонько/ бросить; кинуть; швырнуть)," replied Joe. "So am I (я тоже)," said George's father, valiantly (храбро сказал отец Джорджа). There was a brief struggle, followed by two heavy bumps on the floor (произошла короткая борьба, за которой последовали два тяжелых удара об пол; bump — столкновение; глухой тяжелый удар), and then a rather doleful voice said (а потом весьма печальный/страдальческий голос сказал): "I say, Tom (послушай, Том)!" "Yes!"

There was a brief struggle, followed by two heavy bumps on the floor, and then a rather doleful voice said: "I say, Tom!" "Yes!"
"Well, to tell you the truth, my man's chucked me out (ну, сказать по правде, мой человек вытолкнул меня)." "So's mine (мой тоже)! I say, I don't think much of this inn, do you (знаешь, мне не особенно нравится эта гостиница, а тебе)?" "What was the name of that inn (как называлась та гостиница)?" said Harris. "The Pig and Whistle (Свинья и Свисток; pigs and whistles — всякая ерунда, мелочи)," said George. "Why (а что)?" "Ah, no, then it isn't the same (а, нет, тогда это не та)," replied Harris.

"Why?" "Ah, no, then it isn't the same," replied Harris. "What do you mean (что ты имеешь в виду)?" queried George (спросил Джордж; to query — спрашивать, осведомляться, уточнять). "Why it's so curious (это очень любопытно)," murmured Harris (пробормотал Гаррис), "but precisely that very same thing happened to my father once at a country inn (точно такой же случай произошел однажды с моим отцом в одной деревенской гостинице). I've often heard him tell the tale (я часто слышал, как он рассказывал эту историю). I thought it might have been the same inn (я думал, это, может быть, та же самая гостиница)." We turned in at ten that night, and I thought I should sleep well, being tired (мы легли спать в десять в тот вечер, и я подумал, что буду хорошо спать, утомившись); but I didn't (но нет). As a rule, I undress and put my head on the pillow (как правило, я раздеваюсь и кладу голову на подушку), and then somebody bangs at the door, and says it is half-past eight (а потом кто-нибудь стучит в дверь и говорит, что сейчас полдевятого): but, to-night, everything seemed against me (но сегодня вечером, казалось, все было против меня); the novelty of it all, the hardness of the boat, the cramped position (новизна всего этого, жесткость лодки, стесненная = неудобная поза) (I was lying with my feet under one seat, and my head on another) (я лежал, положив ноги под одно сиденье, а голову — на другое), the sound of the lapping water round the boat (звук плещущейся воды вокруг лодки), and the wind among the branches, kept me restless and disturbed (и ветер в ветвях — все это держало меня беспокойным и встревоженным = беспокоило и тревожило меня; to keep — держать, удерживать). query [`kwIqrI] branch [brRnC] "What do you mean?" queried George.

sovereign [`sOvrIn] money [`mAnI] excruciating [Ik`skrHSIeItIN] I did get to sleep for a few hours, and then some part of the boat which seemed to have grown up in the night — for it certainly was not there when we started, and it had disappeared by the morning — kept digging into my spine. I slept through it for a while, dreaming that I had swallowed a sovereign, and that they were cutting a hole in my back with a gimlet, so as to try and get it out. I thought it very unkind of them, and I told them I would owe them the money, and they should have it at the end of the month. But they would not hear of that, and said it would be much better if they had it then, because otherwise the interest would accumulate so. I got quite cross with them after a bit, and told them what I thought of them, and then they gave the gimlet such an excruciating wrench that I woke up. The boat seemed stuffy, and my head ached (лодка казалось душной = в лодке было душно, и у меня болела голова); so I thought I would step out into the cool night-air (поэтому я решил выйти на прохладный ночной воздух). I slipped on what clothes I could find about (я накинул/надел одежду, что смог найти) — some of my own, and some of George's and Harris's (частично мою собственную, частично Джорджа и Гарриса) — and crept under the canvas on to the bank (и выполз из-под парусины на берег). It was a glorious night (была великолепная ночь). The moon had sunk, and left the quiet earth alone with the stars (луна зашла /за тучи/ и оставила тихую землю наедине со звездами; to sink; to leave). It seemed as if, in the silence and the hush, while we her children slept (казалось, будто в безмолвии и тишине, пока мы, ее дети, спим), they were talking with her, their sister (они говорят с ней, их сестрой) — conversing of mighty mysteries in voices too vast and deep for childish human ears to catch the sound (беседуют о великих тайнах голосами, слишком широкими и глубокими, чтобы детские людские уши = слух мог уловить их; vast — обширный, громадный, безбрежный; sound — звук, шум). They awe us, these strange stars, so cold, so clear (они внушают нам благоговейный страх, эти странные звезды, такие холодные, такие ясные). We are as children whose small feet have strayed into some dim-lit temple of the god (мы — словно дети, чьи маленькие ножки забрели в тускло освещенный храм божества; to stray — сбиться с пути, заблудиться; скитаться) they have been taught to worship but know not (/которого/ их научили почитать, но которого они не знают; to teach; to worship — поклоняться, почитать, боготворить); and, standing where the echoing dome spans the long vista of the shadowy light (и, стоя /там/, где гулкий купол простирается над длинным рядом призрачных огней; to span — охватывать; простираться; vista — перспектива, вид /в конце аллеи и т.д./; аллея, вереница) glance up, half hoping, half afraid to see some awful vision hovering there (смотрят вверх, и надеясь, и боясь: «полунадеясь и полубоясь» увидеть величественное видение, парящее там; to glance up — поднять голову и бросить взгляд; awful — ужасный, внушающий страх, благоговение). echoing [`ekquIN] awful [`Lful] The boat seemed stuffy, and my head ached; so I thought I would step out into the cool night-air.

Sometimes, our pain is very deep and real, and we stand before her very silent (иногда наша боль очень глубока и подлинна, и мы стоим перед ней очень молчаливые = в полном молчании), because there is no language for our pain, only a moan (потому что не существует языка для нашей боли, только стон = словами ее не выразить, только стоном). Night's heart is full of pity for us: she cannot ease our aching (сердце ночи полно жалости к нам: она не может облегчить нашу боль); she takes our hand in hers, and the little world grows very small and very far away beneath us (она берет нашу руку в свою, и маленький мир становится очень маленьким и очень далеким под нами = мы взлетаем над этим маленьким миром), and, borne on her dark wings (и, вознесенные на ее темных крыльях; to bear — /пере/возить, /пере/носить; выдерживать, поддерживать), we pass for a moment into a mightier Presence than her own (мы на минуту переходим в более могущественное присутствие, чем ее = оказываемся перед кем-то более могущественным, чем она; presence — присутствие; соседство, близость), and in the wondrous light of that great Presence (и в удивительном свете этой великой силы), all human life lies like a book before us (вся человеческая жизнь лежит перед нами, словно /раскрытая/ книга), and we know that Pain and Sorrow are but the angels of God (и мы знаем, что Боль и Печаль — всего лишь ангелы Господа). presence [`prez(q)ns] fevered [`fJvqd] aching [`eIkIN] wondrous [`wAndrqs]
Sometimes, our pain is very deep and real, and we stand before her very silent, because there is no language for our pain, only a moan. Night's heart is full of pity for us: she cannot ease our aching; she takes our hand in hers, and the little world grows very small and very far away beneath us, and, borne on her dark wings, we pass for a moment into a mightier Presence than her own, and in the wondrous light of that great Presence, all human life lies like a book before us, and we know that Pain and Sorrow are but the angels of God. Only those who have worn the crown of suffering can look upon that wondrous light (лишь те, кто носил венец страдания, могут взглянуть на этот чудесный свет; to wear; crown — венок, венец; корона); and they, when they return, may not speak of it, or tell the mystery they know (и они, когда возвращаются /на землю/, не могут говорить о нем и рассказать о тайне, которую знают). Once upon a time, through a strange country, there rode some goodly knights (когда-то давным-давно по чужой стране ехали верхом славные рыцари; to ride; goodly — прекрасный, великолепный; хорошо выглядящий), and their path lay by a deep wood, where tangled briars grew very thick and strong (и их путь лежал через дремучий лес, где спутанный колючий кустарник рос очень плотно и сильно = где тесно переплелись густые заросли шиповника; briar — колючий кустарник, кусты с шипами; шиповник; to grow — расти), and tore the flesh of them that lost their way therein (и терзали плоть тех, кто заблудился там; to tear — разрывать/ся/; царапать, ранить; to lose; therein — здесь, там, в том). And the leaves of the trees that grew in the wood were very dark and thick (и листья деревьев, что росли в том лесу, были очень темные и плотные), so that no ray of light came through the branches to lighten the gloom and sadness (так что ни один луч света не проникал через ветви, чтобы рассеять мрак и печаль; to lighten — светлеть, осветлять; рассеивать тьму). And, as they passed by that dark wood (и, когда они проезжали по тому темному лесу), one knight of those that rode, missing his comrades (один рыцарь из тех, что ехали = один из рыцарей потерял своих товарищей; to miss — упустить, пропустить; не заметить), wandered far away, and returned to them no more (блуждал вдалеке/заблудился, и больше к ним не вернулся; to wander — бродить, скитаться; заблудиться); and they, sorely grieving, rode on without him (и они, глубоко опечаленные, продолжали скакать без него; sorely — болезненно, мучительно; очень, крайне; to grieve — /глубоко/ опечаливать; горевать, убиваться), mourning him as one dead (оплакивая его как погибшего).

And they questioned him, asking him what had befallen him (и они спрашивали его, что с ним произошло; to befall-befell-befallen): and he told them how in the dark wood he had lost his way (и он рассказал им, как заблудился в темном лесу), and had wandered many days and nights (и блуждал много дней и ночей), till, torn and bleeding, he had lain him down to die (пока, исцарапанный и обессиленный, не лег, чтобы умереть; to bleed — истекать кровью). measure [`meZq] wound [wHnd]
And they questioned him, asking him what had befallen him: and he told them how in the dark wood he had lost his way, and had wandered many days and nights, till, torn and bleeding, he had lain him down to die. Then, when he was nigh unto death (когда он был близок к смерти), lo! through the savage gloom there came to him a stately maiden (вдруг из зловещей тьмы к нему вышла величавая девушка; lo — вот! слушай! и вдруг!; savage — грубый, дикий; свирепый, злой), and took him by the hand and led him on through devious paths, unknown to any man (взяла его за руку и повела по извилистым тропам, неизвестным никому; to lead; devious — удаленный, уединенный; извилистый, окольный; devious paths — окольные пути), until upon the darkness of the wood there dawned a light (пока в темноте леса не забрезжил свет; to dawn — рассветать; проясняться, пробиваться, доходить) such as the light of day was unto but as a little lamp unto the sun (такой, что свет дня был по сравнению с ним, как лишь маленький фонарь по сравнению с солнцем); and, in that wondrous light, our way-worn knight saw as in a dream a vision (и в этом удивительном свете наш утомленный рыцарь увидел, словно во сне, видение), and so glorious, so fair the vision seemed (и таким восхитительным и прекрасным казалось то видение), that of his bleeding wounds he thought no more, but stood as one entranced (что он больше не думал о своих кровоточащих ранах, а стоял как очарованный), whose joy is deep as is the sea, whereof no man can tell the depth (его радость была глубокой, словно море, глубину которого не может постичь никто; whereof — о чем, из чего, о котором). And the vision faded, and the knight, kneeling upon the ground (и видение постепенно исчезло, и рыцарь, опускаясь на колени на землю; to fade — вянуть, увядать; исчезать, расплываться), thanked the good saint who into that sad wood had strayed his steps (возблагодарил добрую святую, которая в этом печальном/темном лесу увела его с дороги; to stray — сбиться с пути; заблудиться), so he had seen the vision that lay there hid (чтобы он увидел видение, что пребывало сокрытым здесь; to hide — прятать, скрывать). жүктеу/скачать 4.11 Mb.
