Шрифт:
We were all ready for bed. Harris was to sleep with us that night, and we went upstairs.
We tossed for beds, and Harris had to sleep with me. He said:
"Do you prefer the inside or the outside, J.?"
I said I generally preferred to sleep inside a bed (я сказал, что, как правило, предпочитаю спать внутри постели).
Harris said it was old (Гаррис сказал, это старо).
George said:
"What time shall I wake you fellows (во сколько: «в какое время» мне разбудить вас,
Harris said:
"Seven (в семь)."
I said I generally preferred to sleep inside a bed.
Harris said it was old.
George said:
"What time shall I wake you fellows?"
Harris said:
"Seven."
I said:
"No — six (нет — в шесть)," because I wanted to write some letters (потому что хотел написать несколько писем).
Harris and I had a bit of a row over it (мы с Гаррисом немного повздорили из-за этого; row — спор, ссора, перебранка), but at last split the difference, and said half-past six (но в конце концов пошли на компромисс и сказали /разбудить нас/ в полседьмого: «в половину после шести»; to split the difference — идти на компромисс; поделить разницу пополам; сойтись в цене).
"Wake us at 6.30, George (разбуди нас в 6.30, Джордж)," we said.
George made no answer, and we found, on going over (Джордж не ответил, и мы обнаружили, подойдя /к нему/), that he had been asleep for some time (что он /уже/ спит некоторое время); so we placed the bath where he could tumble into it on getting out in the morning, and went to bed ourselves (поэтому мы поставили ванну, куда он мог свалиться, вылезая /из постели/ утром, и сами легли спать; to tumble — падать, бросать/ся/).

Mrs. P. arouses us (миссис П. будит нас). — George, the sluggard (Джордж — лежебока; sluggard — лентяй, лежебока). — The "weather forecast" swindle (надувательство с «предсказанием/прогнозом погоды»). — Our luggage (наш багаж). — Depravity of the small boy (испорченность маленького мальчика; depravity — порочность, развращенность; испорченность). — The people gather round us (люди собираются вокруг нас). — We drive off in great style, and arrive at Waterloo (мы отбываем торжественно и прибываем на /вокзал/ Ватерлоо; to drive off — отъезжать, уезжать; style — стиль, манера). — Innocence of South Western officials concerning such worldly things as trains (неведение

IT was Mrs. Poppets that woke me up next morning (миссис Поппетс разбудила меня на следующее утро; to wake up).
She said:
"Do you know that it's nearly nine o'clock, sir (вы знаете, что /уже/ около девяти часов, сэр)?"
"Nine o' what (девять чего)?" I cried, starting up (вскричал я, вскакивая).

IT was Mrs. Poppets that woke me up next morning.
She said:
"Do you know that it's nearly nine o'clock, sir?"
"Nine o' what?" I cried, starting up.
"Nine o'clock," she replied, through the keyhole (ответила она через замочную скважину; keyhole: key — ключ; hole — дыра, отверстие, прорезь). "I thought you was a-oversleeping yourselves (я подумала, вы просыпаете)."
I woke Harris, and told him (я разбудил Гарриса и сказал ему /что произошло/; to tell). He said:
"I thought you wanted to get up at six (я думал, ты хочешь встать в шесть)?"
"So I did (да)," I answered (ответил я); "why didn't you wake me (почему ты не разбудил меня)?"
"How could I wake you, when you didn't wake me (как я мог разбудить тебя, если ты не разбудил меня)?" he retorted (возразил он). "Now we shan't get on the water till after twelve (теперь мы не попадем на воду раньше двенадцати; shan't = shall not). I wonder you take the trouble to get up at all (удивляюсь, /зачем/ ты вообще берешь на себя труд вставать; to take the trouble — взять на себя труд, утруждаться)."

"Nine o'clock," she replied, through the keyhole. "I thought you was a-oversleeping yourselves."
I woke Harris, and told him. He said:
"I thought you wanted to get up at six?"
"So I did," I answered; "why didn't you wake me?"
"How could I wake you, when you didn't wake me?" he retorted. "Now we shan't get on the water till after twelve. I wonder you take the trouble to get up at all."
