Шрифт:
event [I'vent], although [Ll'DqV], subtle [sAtl]
He remembered the good times with them all, and the quarrels. They always picked the finest places to have the quarrels. And why had they always quarrelled when he was feeling best? He had never written any of that because, at first, he never wanted to hurt any one and then it seemed as though there was enough to write without it. But he had always thought that he would write it finally. There was so much to write. He had seen the world change; not just the events; although he had seen many of them and had watched the people, but he had seen the subtler change and he could remember how the people were at different times. He had been in it and he had watched it and it was his duty to write of it; but now he never would.
"How do you feel (как
"All right (хорошо)."
"Could you eat now (может быть, поешь теперь)?" He saw Molo behind her with the folding table (за ее спиной он увидел Моло со складным столиком) and the other boy with the dishes (и второго боя с тарелками).
"I want to write (я хочу писать)," he said.
"You ought to take some broth to keep your strength up (тебе надо выпить бульону, подкрепиться: «чтобы поддержать свои силы»)."
"I'm going to die tonight (я сегодня умру)," he said. "I don't need my strength up (мне незачем подкрепляться)."
"Don't be melodramatic, Harry, please (пожалуйста, Гарри, не преувеличивай; melodramatic — мелодраматический; нарочито эмоциональный, преувеличенный)," she said.
"Why don't you use your nose (у тебя что, нос заложило: «почему ты не пользуешься носом»)? I'm rotted half way up my thigh now (я уже до половины бедра сгнил). What the hell should I fool with broth for (на кой черт мне канителиться с бульоном; hell — ад, преисподняя; to fool with smth. — забавляться с чем-либо; /без надобности/ возиться с чем-либо; fool — дурак)? Molo bring whiskey-soda (Моло, принеси виски с содовой)."
"Please take the broth (пожалуйста, выпей бульону)," she said gently (мягко).
"All right."
The broth was too hot (бульон был слишком горячий). He had to hold it in the cup until it cooled enough to take it (ему пришлось долго студить его в чашке: «держать его в чашке, пока он не остыл достаточно, чтобы /можно было/ его пить») and then he just got it down without gagging (а потом он просто вылил его себе в рот, не поперхнувшись; to get smth. down — проглотить, заставить себя выпить, съесть /что-то неприятное/; to gag — затыкать рот; /по/давиться).
"You're a fine woman (ты замечательная женщина)," he said. "Don't pay any attention to me (не обращай на меня внимания)."
fold [fqVld], melodramatic ["melqdrq'mxtIk], thigh [TaI]
"How do you feel?" she said. She had come out from the tent now after her bath.
"All right."
"Could you eat now?" He saw Molo behind her with the folding table and the other boy with the dishes.
"I want to write," he said.
"You ought to take some broth to keep your strength up."
"I'm going to die tonight," he said. "I don't need my strength up."
"Don't be melodramatic, Harry, please," she said.
"Why don't you use your nose? I'm rotted half way up my thigh now. What the hell should I fool with broth for? Molo bring whiskey-soda."
"Please take the broth," she said gently.

The broth was too hot. He had to hold it in the cup until it cooled enough to take it and then he just got it down without gagging.

She looked at him (она
"They can bring my net out later (позже они могут принести = вели принести сетку) and hang it from the tree (свесить ее с того дерева) and build the fire up (и развести костер; to build up — возводить, сооружать). I'm not going in the tent tonight (сегодня я не буду перебираться в палатку). It's not worth moving (не стоит труда: «движения»). It's a clear night (ночь ясная). There won't be any rain (дождя не будет)."
breast [brest], caress [kq'res], build [bIld]
She looked at him with her well-known, well-loved face from Spur and Town and Country only a little the worse for drink, only a little the worse for bed, but Town and Country never showed those good breasts and those useful thighs and those lightly small-of-back-caressing hands, and as he looked and saw her well known pleasant smile, he felt death come again. This time there was no rush. It was a puff, as of a wind that makes a candle flicker and the flame go tall.
"They can bring my net out later and hang it from the tree and build the fire up. I'm not going in the tent tonight. It's not worth moving. It's a clear night. There won't be any rain."
So this was how you died, in whispers that you did not hear (значит, вот как умирают — в шепоте, который еле различим: «который ты не слышишь»). Well, there would be no more quarrelling (что ж, по крайней мере, ссор больше не будет). He could promise that (это он может пообещать). The one experience that he had never had he was not going to spoil now (он не станет портить то единственное, что он еще никогда не испытывал на себе: «единственное событие/переживание, которого у него никогда не было»; experience — /жизненный/ опыт; случай, событие; впечатление, переживание). He probably would (/но/ наверно, испортит). You spoiled everything (/ведь/ портишь все). But perhaps he wouldn't (а может быть, и не испортит).
