restaurant ['rest(@)rO:N] malevolence [m@'lev@l@ns]
* A capital little out-of-the-way restaurant, in the neighbourhood of — -, where you can get one of the best-cooked and cheapest little French dinners or suppers that I know of, with an excellent bottle of Beaune, for three-and-six; and which I am not going to be idiot enough to advertise.
"Yes it's almost a pity we've made up our minds to stick to this boat," answered Harris; and then there was silence for a while.
"If we hadn't made up our minds to contract our certain deaths in this bally old coffin," observed George, casting a glance of intense malevolence over the boat, "it might be worth while to mention that there's a train leaves Pangbourne, I know, soon after five, which would just land us in town in comfortable time to get a chop, and then go on to the place you mentioned afterwards."
Nobody spoke (никто
Twenty minutes later, three figures, followed by a shamed-looking dog (двадцать минут спустя три человеческие фигуры, сопровождаемые пристыженной собакой), might have been seen creeping stealthily from the boat-house at the "Swan" towards the railway station (/можно было увидеть, как/ пробирались украдкой от навеса для лодок у /гостиницы/ «Лебедь» к железнодорожной станции), dressed in the following neither neat nor gaudy costume (одетые в следующую — ни опрятную, ни кричащую — одежду = одежда их была неопрятной и простой):
Black leather shoes, dirty (черные кожаные ботинки — грязные); suit of boating flannels, very dirty (фланелевый лодочный костюм — очень грязный); brown felt hat, much battered (коричневая фетровая шляпа — сильно потрепанная); mackintosh, very wet (непромокаемый плащ — очень мокрый); umbrella (зонтик).
guilty ['gIltI] gaudy ['gO:dI]
Nobody spoke. We looked at one another, and each one seemed to see his own mean and guilty thoughts reflected in the faces of the others. In silence, we dragged out and overhauled the Gladstone. We looked up the river and down the river; not a soul was in sight!

We had deceived the boatman at Pangbourne (мы обманули лодочника в Пэнгборне). We had not had the face to tell him that we were running away from the rain (у нас не хватило смелости сказать ему, что мы убегаем от дождя; face — лицо, лик; нахальство, наглость, дерзость; самоуверенность). We had left the boat, and all it contained, in his charge (мы оставили лодку и все, что она содержала, на его попечение), with instructions that it was to be ready for us at nine the next morning (с указаниями, чтобы она была готова для нас к девяти часам следующего утра). If, we said — if anything unforeseen should happen, preventing our return, we would write to him (если, сказали мы, если что-нибудь непредвиденное произойдет и помешает нам вернуться, мы ему напишем; to foresee; to prevent — предотвращать, не допускать, мешать).
We reached Paddington at seven, and drove direct to the restaurant I have before described (мы добрались до Паддингтона в семь и помчались прямо в ресторан, который я ранее описал; to drive — ехать, управлять /автомобилем и т. д./, править /лошадьми/; мчаться, нестись), where we partook of a light meal, left Montmorency (где съели легкие закуски, оставили Монморенси; to partake — принимать участие; отведать, съесть, выпить), together with suggestions for a supper to be ready at half-past ten (вместе с указаниями приготовить /нам/ ужин к половине одиннадцатого), and then continued our way to Leicester Square (затем продолжили путь = далее отправились на Лестер-Сквер /площадь в Уэст-Энде; на ней и вблизи нее расположено много кинотеатров, театров и ресторанов/).

We attracted a good deal of attention at the Alhambra (мы привлекли много внимания в «Альгамбре»). On our presenting ourselves at the pay-box we were gruffly directed to go round to Castle Street (когда мы появились у театральной кассы, нас грубо направили на Касл-стрит; to present — дарить; представлять, предъявлять; to go round — обойти, сделать крюк), and were informed that we were half-an-hour behind our time (нам сообщили, что мы опаздываем на полчаса).
We convinced the man, with some difficulty (мы убедили кассира с трудом), that we were not "the world-renowned contortionists from the Himalaya Mountains (что мы не «всемирно известные люди-змеи с Гималайских гор»; renown — слава, известность; contortionist — «человек-змея», акробат)," and he took our money and let us pass (и он взял наши деньги и позволил нам пройти/пропустил нас).
Inside we were a still greater success (внутри мы имели еще больший успех). Our fine bronzed countenances and picturesque clothes were followed round the place with admiring gaze (наши замечательные загорелые лица и живописные костюмы повсюду сопровождались восхищенным взглядом; bronzed — бронзовый, загорелый; countenance — выражение лица; лицо). We were the cynosure of every eye (мы были центром внимания каждого взора = все взоры были устремлены на нас; cynosure — Малая Медведица; Полярная звезда; центр внимания).
It was a proud moment for us all (это была великолепная минута для нас; proud — гордый; вызывающий чувство гордости, удовлетворения; счастливый, великолепный).
