bright [braIt] powder [`paudq] pleasant [pleznt] eternal [I`tq:nl]
He was only once crossed, and that was towards the end, when my poor father was far gone in a decline that took him off. Dr Livesey came late one afternoon to see the patient, took a bit of dinner from my mother, and went into the parlour to smoke a pipe until his horse should come down from the hamlet, for we had no stabling at the old “Benbow.”
I followed him in, and I remember observing the contrast the neat, bright doctor, with his powder as white as snow, and his bright, black eyes and pleasant manners, made with the coltish country folk, and above all, with that filthy, heavy, bleared scarecrow of a pirate of ours, sitting, far gone in rum, with his arms on the table. Suddenly he — the captain, that is — began to pipe up his eternal song: —
“Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!”At first I had supposed (вначале
But by this time (но к этому времени) we had all long ceased to pay any particular notice to the song (мы все давно перестали обращать какое-либо особое внимание на эту песню); it was new, that night, to nobody but Dr Livesey (она была новой, в тот вечер, для никого, кроме доктора Ливси = только для доктора), and on him I observed (и на него, я заметил) it did not produce an agreeable effect (она не произвела приятного эффекта), for he looked up for a moment quite angrily (так как он поглядел /на капитана/ мгновение довольно сердито) before he went on with his talk to old Taylor (прежде чем продолжил свою беседу со старым Тейлором), the gardener (садовником), on a new cure for the rheumatics (о новом лекарстве от ревматизма). In the meantime (тем временем), the captain gradually brightened up at his own music (капитан, постепенно разгоряченный своей собственной музыкой = пением; to brighten up — наполнять радостью, прояснять), and at last flapped his hand upon the table before him (наконец ударил рукой = кулаком по столу перед собой) in a way we all knew to mean — silence (в известном смысле, /который/ мы все знали /что/ обозначает — молчание).
thought [TLt] particular [pq`tIkjulq] cure [kjuq] rheumatics [rH`mxtIks]
At first I had supposed “the dead man’s chest” to be that identical big box of his upstairs in the front room, and the thought had been mingled in my nightmares with that of the one-legged seafaring man.
But by this time we had all long ceased to pay any particular notice to the song; it was new, that night, to nobody but Dr Livesey, and on him I observed it did not produce an agreeable effect, for he looked up for a moment quite angrily before he went on with his talk to old Taylor, the gardener, on a new cure for the rheumatics. In the meantime, the captain gradually brightened up at his own music, and at last flapped his hand upon the table before him in a way we all knew to mean — silence.
The voices stopped at once (голоса замерли сразу), all but Dr Livesey’s (все, кроме /голоса/ доктора Ливси); he went on as before (он продолжал как раньше), speaking clear and kind (говоря четко
“Silence, there, between decks (молчать, там, на палубе: «между палубами»)!”
“Were you addressing me, sir (вы обращались ко мне, сэр)?” says the doctor; and when the ruffian had told him (хулиган сказал ему), with another oath (другой бранью), that this was so (что это было так).
“I have only one thing to say to you, sir (у меня есть только одна вещь, чтобы сказать вам, сэр),” replies the doctor (отвечает доктор), “that if you keep on drinking rum (если продолжите пить ром), the world will soon be quit of a very dirty scoundrel (мир вскоре избавится от одного очень грязного мерзавца)!”
drawing [`drLIN] oath [quT] ruffian [`rAfIqn] replies [rI`plaIz] scoundrel [`skaundrql]
The voices stopped at once, all but Dr Livesey’s; he went on as before, speaking clear and kind, and drawing briskly at his pipe between every word or two. The captain glared at him for a while, flapped his hand again, glared still harder, and at last broke out with a villainous, low oath:
“Silence, there, between decks!”
“Were you addressing me, sir?” says the doctor; and when the ruffian had told him, with another oath, that this was so.
“I have only one thing to say to you, sir,” replies the doctor, “that if you keep on drinking rum, the world will soon be quit of a very dirty scoundrel!”
The old fellow’s fury was awful (ярость старика была ужасной). He sprang to his feet (он вскочил на ноги), drew and opened a sailor’s clasp-knife (вытащил и открыл матросский складной нож), and, balancing it open on the palm of his hand (и, качая его открытым на ладони), threatened to pin the doctor to the wall (угрожал пригвоздить доктора к стене).
The doctor never so much as moved (доктор даже не двинулся). He spoke to him, as before (он говорил с ним, как раньше), over his shoulder (через плечо), and in the same tone of voice (и в той же самой интонации /голоса/); rather high (немного высоким = громче), so that all the room might hear (чтобы все в комнате могли слышать), but perfectly calm ant steady (но совершенно спокойным и твердым): —
“If you do not put that knife this instant in your pocket (если вы не уберете этот нож сейчас же в карман) I promise, upon my honour (обещаю, честное слово), you shall hang at the next assizes (вы будете болтаться /на виселице/ при = после ближайшей выездной сессии суда присяжных).”

The old fellow’s fury was awful. He sprang to his feet, drew and opened a sailor’s clasp-knife, and, balancing it open on the palm of his hand, threatened to pin the doctor to the wall.
