превосходить, побеждать). I never was feared of Flint in his life, and, by the
powers, I'll face him dead (я никогда не боялся Флинта при жизни, и, черт
возьми, я встречу смело его мертвого = не испугаюсь и мертвого; to face —
стоять лицом, смотреть смело в лицо, встречать без страха). There's seven
hundred thousand pound not a quarter of a mile from here (менее чем в четверти
мили отсюда лежат семьсот тысяч фунтов). When did ever a gentleman o'
fortune show his stern to that much dollars (разве
удачи показывал свою корму = отворачивался от такой кучи денег), for a
boosy old seaman with a blue mug — and him dead, too (из-за суетливого
старого моряка с синей мордой, к тому же — мертвого; boosy = busy —
деятельный, беспокойный, горячий)?'

3. Dick had his Bible out, and was praying volubly. He had been well brought
up, had Dick, before he came to sea and fell among bad companions.
4. Still, Silver was unconquered. I could hear his teeth rattle in his head; but
he had not yet surrendered.
5. 'Nobody in this here island ever heard of Darby,' he muttered; 'not one but
us that's here.' And then, making a great effort, 'Shipmates,' he cried, 'I'm
here to get that stuff, and I'll not be beat by man nor devil. I never was feared
of Flint in his life, and, by the powers, I'll face him dead. There's seven
hundred thousand pound not a quarter of a mile from here. When did ever a
gentleman o' fortune show his stern to that much dollars, for a boosy old
seaman with a blue mug — and him dead, too?'
1. But there was no sign of re-awakening courage in his followers (но в его
приверженцах не было признака вновь пробуждающейся храбрости); rather,
indeed, of growing terror at the irreverence of his words (напротив, /были
признаки/
привидению/; reverence — почтение; почтительность).
2. 'Belay there, John (довольно, Джон; belay — довольно! стоп! хватит!)!' said
Merry. 'Don't you cross a sperrit (нет оскорбляй привидение; to cross —
перекрещивать, пересекать; противодействовать, противоречить).'
3. And the rest were all too terrified to reply (все остальные были слишком

страх; to fight — сражаться).
4. 'Sperrit (привидение)? Well, maybe (что ж, может быть),' he said. 'But there's
one thing not clear to me (но мне не ясно одно). There was an echo (было эхо).
Now, no man ever seen a sperrit with a shadow (итак, никто никогда не видел,
/чтобы/ у привидения /была/ тень); well, then, what's he doing with an echo to
