Английский язык с Э. Хемингуэем. Старик и море
Шрифт:
current ['kArqnt], steady ['stedI], butcher ['buCq], cove [kquv]
They sat on the Terrace and many of the fishermen made fun of the old man and he was not angry. Others, of the older fishermen, looked at him and were sad. But they did not show it and they spoke politely about the current and the depths they had drifted their lines at and the steady good weather and of what they had seen. The successful fishermen of that day were already in and had butchered their marlin out and carried them laid full length across two planks, with two men staggering at the end of each plank, to the fish house where they waited for the ice truck to carry them to the market in Havana. Those who had caught sharks had taken them to the shark factory on the other side of the cove where they were hoisted on a block and tackle, their livers removed, their fins cut off and their hides skinned out and their flesh cut into strips for salting.

"Santiago," the boy said.
"Yes," the old man said. He was holding his glass and thinking of many years ago (он держал стакан и думал о давно прошедших годах).
harbour ['hRbq], odour ['qudq], pleasant ['plezqnt]
When the wind was in the east a smell came across the harbour from the shark factory; but today there was only the faint edge of the odour because the wind had backed into the north and then dropped off and it was pleasant and sunny on the Terrace.
"Santiago," the boy said.
"Yes," the old man said. He was holding his glass and thinking of many years ago.
"Can I go out to get sardines for you for tomorrow (можно я наловлю: «выйду /в море/, чтобы достать» тебе сардин на завтра)?"
"No. Go and play baseball (иди поиграй в бейсбол). I can still row and Rogelio will throw the net (я все еще могу грести, а Рохелио забросит сети)."
"I would like to go (я бы хотел пойти). If I cannot fish with you (если я не могу рыбачить с тобой), I would like to serve in some way (я бы хотел помочь хоть как-нибудь; to serve — служить; быть полезным, оказывать помощь)."
"You bought me a beer (ты купил мне пива)," the old man said. "You are already a man (ты уже мужчина)."
sardine [sR'di:n], row [rqu], serve [sWv]

"How old was I when you first took me in a boat (сколько мне было лет, когда ты впервые взял меня в лодку)?"
"Five and you nearly were killed (пять, и ты чуть было не погиб: «не был убит») when I brought the fish in too green and he nearly tore the boat to pieces (когда я втащил в лодку совсем еще живую рыбу, и она чуть не разнесла лодку на щепки: «кусочки»; green — зеленый; молодой; полный сил). Can you remember (помнишь)?"
"I can remember the tail slapping and banging (я помню, как хвост хлопал и бил) and the thwart breaking (и

"How old was I when you first took me in a boat?"
"Five and you nearly were killed when I brought the fish in too green and he nearly tore the boat to pieces. Can you remember?"
"I can remember the tail slapping and banging and the thwart breaking and the noise of the clubbing. I can remember you throwing me into the bow where the wet coiled lines were and feeling the whole boat shiver and the noise of you clubbing him like chopping a tree down and the sweet blood smell all over me."
"Can you really remember that or did I just tell it to you (ты действительно это помнишь, или это я тебе рассказал)?"
"I remember everything from when we first went together (я помню все с того момента, как мы впервые вышли в море вместе)."
The old man looked at him with his sun-burned, confident loving eyes (старик посмотрел на него своими воспаленными от солнца доверчивыми любящими глазами; confident — уверенный; доверительный).
"If you were my boy (если бы ты был моим сыном: «мальчиком») I'd take you out and gamble (я бы взял тебя и рискнул = рискнул бы взять тебя с собой; to gamble — играть в азартные игры; держать пари; пуститься в рискованное предприятие)," he said. "But you are your father's and your mother's (но ты /сын/ своего отца и матери) and you are in a lucky boat (и ты в счастливой/удачливой лодке)."
everything ['evrITIN], together [tq'geDq], confident ['kOnfIdqnt]

"May I get the sardines (можно я достану сардин = схожу за сардинами)? I know where I can get four baits too (я также знаю, где я могу достать четыре наживки)."
"I have mine left from today (у меня есть свои, оставшиеся сегодня). I put them in salt in the box (я положил их в соль в коробку = в коробку с солью)."
"Let me get four fresh ones (давай я принесу четыре свежих /наживки/)."
"One (одну)," the old man said. His hope and his confidence had never gone (его надежда и уверенность никогда не уходили = не пропадали). But now they were freshening as when the breeze rises (но теперь они возрождались: «освежались», словно подул свежий ветер /с моря/).
