annoyance when it blew. I remember the appearance of his coat, which he

patched himself upstairs in his room, and which, before the end, was nothing

but patches.

2. He never wrote or received a letter, and he never spoke with any but the

neighbours, and with these, for the most part, only when drunk on rum. The

great sea-chest none of us had ever seen open.

1. He was only once crossed (ему

лишь однажды перечили; to cross —

препятствовать, противоречить), and that was towards the end (это было

относительно /ближе/ к концу), when my poor father was far gone in a decline

that took him off (когда мой бедный отец был в последней стадии

/изнурительной/ болезни, которая забрала его = убила; decline — упадок). Dr

Livesey came late one afternoon to see the patient (доктор Ливси пришел

однажды поздно днем = в конце дня осмотреть пациента), took a bit of dinner

from my mother (принял немного обеда, которым угостила его моя мать: «от

моей матери» = наскоро пообедал), and went into the parlour to smoke a pipe (и

вошел в общую комнату выкурить трубку) until his horse should come down

from the hamlet (/ожидая/, когда его лошадь приведут из деревушки), for we

had no stabling at the old 'Benbow (потому что у нас не было конюшни в

старом /трактире/ «Бенбоу»).'

2. I followed him in (я вошел вслед за ним), and I remember observing the

contrast the neat, bright doctor (помню наблюдение контраста /между/

опрятным веселым доктором), with his powder as white as snow (с париком,

белым словно снег; powder — пудра, порошок), and his bright, black eyes and

pleasant manners (его яркими черными глазами и приятными манерами), made

жителями), and above all (прежде

всего), with that filthy, heavy, bleared

scarecrow of a pirate of ours (/по сравнению/ с грязным, грузным, пьяным:

«затуманенным» пугалом, нашим пиратом; сравните: an unshaven, bleary-

eyed man — небритый мужчина с затуманенным взором), sitting, far gone in

rum (который сидел, сильно пьяный от рома: «далеко зашедший в роме»),

with his arms on the table (с руками = локтями на столе). Suddenly he (вдруг

он) — the captain (капитан), that is — began to pipe up his eternal song (запел

свою вечную песню): —

мертвеца)

Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum (йо-хо-хо, и бутылка рому)!

Drink and the devil had done for the rest (пей, а дьявол покончил с остальным;

to have done — покончить, разделаться с чем-то; for the rest — в остальном,

что до остального)

Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!'
