"You can't take dictation, can you (ты не умеешь стенографировать; dictation — диктовка; писание под диктовку)?"

"I never learned (я никогда /этому/ не училась)," she told him.

"That's all right (не важно)."

There wasn't time, of course (времени, конечно, /уже/ нет), although it seemed as though it telescoped so that you might put it all into one paragraph (хотя казалось, все сконцентрировалось до таких пределов, что можно уложиться: «вставить это» в один абзац; as though — /как/ будто; to telescope — складывать/ся/; сжимать/ся/; входить друг в друга /как секции раздвижного телескопа/) if you could get it right (если постараться: «если сможешь это сделать правильно/уладить»).

experience [Ik'spIqrIqns], promise ['prOmIs], telescope ['telIskqVp]

So this was how you died, in whispers that you did not hear. Well, there would be no more quarrelling. He could promise that. The one experience that he had never had he was not going to spoil now. He probably would. You spoiled everything. But perhaps he wouldn't.

There was a log house, chinked white with mortar on a hill above the lake (на холме у озера: «над озером» стоял бревенчатый домик, промазанный

по щелям белой известью; chink — длинная щель; to chink — заделывать щели, уплотнять стыки; mortar — известковый раствор; строительный раствор). There was a bell on a pole by the door (возле двери на шесте был колокольчик) to call the people in to meals (чтобы сзывать людей = в который звонили, сзывая всех к столу; meal — принятие пищи; еда). Behind the house were fields (за домом были поля) and behind the fields was the timber (а за полями — лес; timber — лесоматериалы; строевой лес; лес /как объект промышленного использования/). A line of lombardy poplars ran from the house to the dock (от дома к пристани тянулась: «бежала» аллейка пирамидальных тополей; line — веревка; линия, ряд; Lombardy — Ломбардия /область в Северной Италии/; Lombardy poplar — тополь итальянский пирамидальный). Other poplars ran along the point (вдоль мыса тоже росли тополя; point — острие; острая выступающая часть; мыс, выступающая морская коса, стрелка). A road went up to the hills along the edge of the timber (вдоль опушки леса шла дорога в горы) and along that road he picked blackberries (и вдоль = по краям этой дороги он собирал ежевику). Then that log house was burned down (потом бревенчатый домик сгорел) and all the guns that had been on deer foot racks above the open fire place were burned (и все ружья, висевшие на крюках в виде оленьих копыт над камином, /тоже/ сгорели; deer — олень; rack — вешалка) and afterwards their barrels (и потом ружейные стволы; barrel — бочка; ствол, дуло /оружия/), with the lead melted in the magazines (c расплавившимся в магазинных коробках свинцом), and the stocks burned away (и без прикладов: «со сгоревшими прикладами»; stock — главный ствол /дерева/; опора; рукоятка, ручка; ружейная ложа; приклад), lay out on the heap of ashes (лежали в куче золы; to lie) that were used to make lye for the big iron soap kettles (которую использовали, чтобы делать щелок для больших железных мыловаренных котлов; soap — мыло), and you asked Grandfather if you could have them to play with (и ты спросил дедушку, можно ли взять их = эти стволы поиграть), and he said, no (и он сказал нет). You see they were his guns still (ведь это были все еще его ружья) and he never bought any others (а других = новых он так и не купил). Nor did he hunt any more (да и не охотился больше). The house was rebuilt in the same place (дом отстроили: «был отстроен» заново на том же самом месте) out of lumber now (теперь из бруса; lumber — /амер./ обработанный лесоматериал; пиломатериал /обычно прямоугольного сечения/) and painted white (и побелили; to paint — красить) and from its porch you saw the poplars and the lake beyond (и с веранды были видны тополя, а за ними озеро: «озеро позади»); but there were never any more guns (но ружей /в доме/ больше не было). The barrels of the guns that had hung on the deer feet on the wall of the log house lay out there on the heap of ashes (стволы ружей, висевших когда-то на оленьих ножках в бревенчатом домике, лежали на куче золы) and no one ever touched them (и никто теперь не прикасался к ним).

In the Black Forest [19] after the war, we rented a trout stream (В Шварцвальде после войны мы арендовали ручей, в котором водилась форель; trout — форель) and there were two ways to walk to it (и к нему можно было пройти двумя путями). One was down the valley from Triberg (один = первый — /спуститься/ от Триберга в долину) and around the valley road (и /идти/ по дороге через долину) in the shade of the trees that bordered the white road (в тени деревьев, которые окаймляли белую дорогу), and then up a side road that went up through the hills (а потом вверх по тропинке: «боковой дороге», поднимавшейся между холмов) past many small farms, with the big Schwarzwald houses (мимо множества небольших ферм с большими шварцвальдскими домами), until that road crossed the stream (/и так/ до того места, где дорога пересекала ручей). That was where our fishing began (там мы и начали ловить рыбу: «это было /то место/, где наша рыбная ловля началась»).

Black Forest (нем. Schwarzwald) — Шварцвальд (горный массив на юго-западе Германии).

The other way was to climb steeply up to the edge of the woods (другой путь — /это/ вскарабкаться по круче: «круто вверх» до края леса) and then go across the top of the hills through the pine woods (а потом идти сосновым

лесом, через горы: «через верх холмов/гор»), and then out to the edge of a meadow (и так /выходишь/ к лугу: «к краю луга») and down across this meadow to the bridge (и этим лугом вниз до моста). There were birches along the stream (вдоль ручья росли березы) and it was not big, but narrow (он был небольшой, узкий), clear and fast (прозрачный и быстрый), with pools where it had cut under the roots of the birches (с заводями, там, где течение подмыло: «он прорезался под» корни берез; pool — лужа; прудок; заводь; омут). At the Hotel in Triberg the proprietor had a fine season (у хозяина отеля в Триберге выдался прекрасный = удачный сезон). It was very pleasant and we were all great friends (/там/ было очень приятно = хорошо, и мы быстро подружились: «стали все большими друзьями»). The next year came the inflation (на следующий год пришла = началась инфляция) and the money he had made the year before was not enough to buy supplies to open the hotel (и денег, которые он заработал в прошлом году, не хватило /даже/ на покупку продовольствия к открытию отеля: «чтобы открыть отель»; supplies — припасы; продовольствие, провиант; to supply — снабжать; поставлять, доставлять; питать) and he hanged himself (и он повесился).

trout [traVt], climb [klaIm], meadow ['medqV], proprietor [prq'praIqtq], supplies [sq'plaIz]

In the Black Forest after the war, we rented a trout stream and there were two ways to walk to it. One was down the valley from Triberg and around the valley road in the shade of the trees that bordered the white road, and then up a side road that went up through the hills past many small farms, with the big Schwarzwald houses, until that road crossed the stream. That was where our fishing began.

The other way was to climb steeply up to the edge of the woods and then go across the top of the hills through the pine woods, and then out to the edge of a meadow and down across this meadow to the bridge. There were birches along the stream and it was not big, but narrow, clear and fast, with pools where it had cut under the roots of the birches.

You could dictate that (это можно продиктовать), but you could not dictate the Place Contrescarpe (но нельзя = как продиктовать о площади Контрэскарп) where the flower sellers dyed their flowers in the street (где продавщицы цветов красили свои цветы тут же, на улице) and the dye ran over the paving where the autobus started (и краска стекала по мостовой к автобусной остановке: «/туда/ где отправлялся автобус»; to pave — замащивать, мостить) and the old men and the women, always drunk on wine and bad marc (и о стариках и старухах, вечно пьяных от вина и плохого бренди из виноградных выжимок; marc — выжимки /фруктов/; бренди, получаемое из выжимок винограда); and the children with their noses running in the cold (о детях с мокрыми от холода носами: «носами, из которых течет на холоде»); the smell of dirty sweat and poverty (о запахе грязного пота и нищеты) and drunkenness at the Caf'e des Amateurs (и пьянства в “Caf'e des Amateurs”) and the whores at the Bal Musette [20] they lived above (и о проститутках в "Ball Musette", над которым они жили). The Concierge who entertained the trooper of the Garde Republicaine in her loge (о консьержке, принимавшей у себя в каморке солдата республиканской гвардии /фр./) his horse-hair-plumed helmet on a chair (его каска с султаном из конского волоса /лежала/ на стуле; plume — перо; султан, плюмаж). The locataire across the hall whose husband was a bicycle racer (о жилице /фр./ по ту сторону коридора, муж которой был велосипедным гонщиком) and her joy that morning at the Cremerie (и о ее радости в то утро в молочной /фр./) when she had opened L'Auto (когда она открыла = развернула "L'Auto") and seen where he placed third in Paris-Tours his first big race (и увидела, что он занял третье место в /гонках/ Париж — Тур, его первых серьезных гонках). She had blushed and laughed (она покраснела и засмеялась) and then gone upstairs crying (а потом со слезами: «плача» убежала /к себе/ наверх) with the yellow sporting paper in her hand (с желтой спортивной газетой в руке). The husband of the woman who ran the Bal Musette drove a taxi (муж той женщины, которая содержала "Bal Musette", водил = был шофером такси) and when he, Harry, had to take an early plane (и когда ему, Гарри, надо было лететь утренним: «ранним» самолетом) the husband knocked upon the door to wake him (шофер: «муж» постучался /к нему/ в дверь, чтобы разбудить его) and they each drank a glass of white wine at the zinc of the bar before they started (и перед тем как ехать, они выпили по стакану белого вина у цинковой стойки в баре: «у цинка барной стойки»). He knew his neighbors in that quarter then because they all were poor (он знал тогда всех соседей в том = своем квартале, потому что все они были беднота).
