Шрифт:
"I do (а мне нет)."
"You give a damn about so many things that I don't (тебе наплевать на очень многое /из того/, что для меня важно)."
"Not so many, Harry (не так уж и на многое)."

He lay then and was quiet for a while and looked across the heat shimmer of the plain to the edge of the bush. There were a few Tommies that showed minute and white against the yellow and, far off, he saw a herd of zebra, white against the green of the bush. This was a pleasant camp under big trees against a hill, with good water, and close by, a nearly dry water hole where sand grouse flighted in the mornings.
"Wouldn't you like me to read?" she asked. She was sitting on a canvas chair beside his cot. "There's a breeze coming up."
"No thanks."
"Maybe the truck will come."
"I don't give a damn about the truck."
"I do."
"You give a damn about so many things that I don't."
"Not so many, Harry."
"What about a drink (как
"It's supposed to be bad for you (тебе это вредно; it is supposed — должно; предполагается). It said in Black's to avoid all alcohol (у Блэка /в медицинском справочнике Блэка/ сказано — воздерживаться от алкоголя). You shouldn't drink (тебе нельзя: «ты не должен бы» пить)."
"Molo!" he shouted (крикнул он).
'Yes Bwana (да, бвана; bwana — /на языке суахили/ хозяин, босс)."
"Bring whiskey-soda (принеси виски с содовой)."
"Yes Bwana."
"You shouldn't," she said. "That's what I mean by giving up (ты сдаешься, об этом я и говорила: «это /то/, что = именно это я понимаю под сдачей»). It says it's bad for you (/ведь там же/ сказано, что это вредно для тебя). I know it's bad for you (я знаю, что тебе это вредно)."
"No," he said. "It's good for me (мне это полезно)."
So now it was all over, he thought (значит, теперь все кончено, — думал он; to think). So now he would never have a chance to finish it (значит, теперь у него /уже/ никогда не будет возможности завершить это = что-либо). So this was the way it ended in a bickering over a drink (значит, вот как все это заканчивается — пререканиями из-за виски). Since the gangrene started in his right leg he had no pain (с тех пор как на правой ноге у него началась гангрена, боль прекратилась) and with the pain the horror had gone (а вместе с болью исчез и страх) and all he felt now was a great tiredness (и все, что он ощущал теперь, /это/ огромную усталость) and anger that this was the end of it (и злобу, /оттого/ что это был конец). For this, that now was coming, he had very little curiosity (то, что близилось, не вызывало у него любопытства: «к тому, что теперь близилось, он имел = испытывал очень мало любопытства/интереса»). For years it had obsessed him (/долгие/ годы это преследовало его; to obsess — завладевать умом; преследовать, мучить /об идее, страхе/); but now it meant nothing in itself (но сейчас это само по себе ничего не значило; to mean). It was strange how easy being tired enough made it (cтранно, что усталость так все облегчает: «каким легким это делало /всего лишь то, что он/ был достаточно /сильно/ утомлен»; tired — усталый; утомленный).

"I wish we'd never come (лучше бы мы сюда не приезжали; to wish — желать, хотеть)," the woman said (сказала женщина). She was looking at him holding the glass and biting her lip (она смотрела на стакан у него в руке: «на него, державшего стакан» и кусала губы). "You never would have gotten anything like this in Paris (в Париже ничего подобного с тобой бы не случилось; to get — получить; нажить /неприятности/, навлекать на себя). You always said you loved Paris (ты всегда говорил, что любишь Париж). We could have stayed in Paris or gone anywhere (мы могли остаться в Париже или уехать куда-нибудь еще). I'd have gone anywhere (я бы поехала куда угодно). I said I'd go anywhere you wanted (я /же/ говорила, что поеду, куда только ты захочешь). If you wanted to shoot (если тебе хотелось поохотиться: «пострелять») we could have gone shooting in Hungary and been comfortable (мы могли бы поехать в Венгрию, и с нами все было бы в порядке; to be comfortable — чувствовать себя уютно)."
"Your bloody money (/это все/ твои чертовы деньги)," he said.
"That's not fair (это несправедливо)," she said. "It was always yours as much as mine (они всегда были столько же твои, сколько и мои). I left everything and I went wherever you wanted to go (я все бросила и ездила /за тобой/ всюду, куда тебе хотелось; to leave) and I've done what you wanted to do (и я делала все, что тебе хотелось). But I wish we'd never come here (но сюда не надо было приезжать).

Now he would never write the things that he had saved to write until he knew enough to write them well. Well, he would not have to fail at trying to write them either. Maybe you could never write them, and that was why you put them off and delayed the starting. Well he would never know, now.

"You said you loved it (ты /же/ говорила, что тебе это = здесь нравится)."
"I did when you were all right (мне нравилось, когда ты был здоров). But now I hate it (а сейчас здесь невыносимо: «я ненавижу это»). I don't see why that had to happen to your leg (не понимаю, почему это должно было случиться с твоей ногой; to see — видеть; понимать, постигать). What have we done to have that happen to us (что мы такое сделали, /из-за чего/ это случилось с нами)?"
